Gusty Garden Galaxy - Bunnies in the Wind

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land on a small, grassy planet, while the Gusty Garden music plays. I like this music and it's well associated with Galaxy, being used in promotional materials for Galaxy 2. There are some Star Bunnies on the planet, next to some plants. One says, "With Floaty Fluff, you can shake to fly higher! But only up to three times, boiyoing! If you want to get down during the ride, just press (A), boiyoing!"
We go up to the Floaty Fluff, shake to release it from the ground, and jump to grab on. We follow the wind currents, shaking when the Wiimote vibrates to gain altitude (you can shake the Wiimote whenever, but when it vibrates, it lets you know you're falling a little low). We land on the next planet and get some Star Bits in the green pipe. We take another Floaty Fluff to the next planet, where there are a Rocky Wrench and Piranha Plants. To kill the Rocky Wrench, approach it while it's above ground, ground pound to flip it over, and spin or run into it. We also kill the Piranha Plants for a vine to the next planet and a 1-up. If you go to the underside of the planet, you may notice a set of footprints being created. Those belong to the Starbag, an enemy similar to the Moneybag from Super Mario 64. They are invisible, but if you follow their footprints around, and spin when you're close, they will reveal themselves, stunned. While they're stunned, run into them for 20 Star Bits. They will also appear if you stop chasing them for a while. On the next planet, we find a purple spiked Piranha Plant. We kill it for a Launch Star and launch to a cube-shaped planet called the Puzzle Cube. It is silent here; we only hear the fountain.
We talk to the nearby Star Bunny, who says, "Think you can catch me, boiyoing?" He hops away and the Star Bunny music starts. He hops all over the puzzle cube, able to go through hedges which are obstacles for Mario. Eventually, we catch him. He says, "OK, OK, you got me! Here, take this Star, boiyoing! Don't expect to catch me so easily next time!" The Star appears over a bride on the cube.

Luigi
We land in the galaxy and use the Floaty Fluff twice. We kill Piranha Plants for vines and get a 1-up. We launch to the Puzzle Cube and chase the Star Bunny, catching it quickly. The Star appears over a bridge.
