Sand Spiral Galaxy - Choosing a Favorite Snack

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We feed a hungry Luma 1000 Star Bits to access this galaxy. We land in the galaxy on half of an airship, where a remix of the underground theme plays. There is a Magikoopa at the bow, as well as the Sling Star. After firing off some magic, the Magikoopa will disappear and reappear at the entrance to a cave. The Sling Star will take us there. This is what I call the "Weapon of Choice" Star: you can go with this (Bee Shroom) or you can go with that (Boo Shroom). The nearby Toads say each one is tasty. I chose the Boo Shroom because I like the unlimited fly time. (There are honeycombs on the walls if you choose to use the Bee Suit.) We float over instant death quicksand and dodge the lights, but hit a Magikoopa and fell in.
Take 2- I chose the Boo Shroom again. At the end of the cave is a Sling Star that takes us out of the cave to a spinning spiral path circling the large moon. The Star is on the moon. There are space bombs along the path and we can take them out using the Rainbow Stars on the path. I avoid getting the Rainbow Stars because they allow us to move so fast, which I can't handle on such a narrow path (on my first playthrough, there was lots of "falling with style"). Once we reached the brown portion of the path, we long-jumped to the moon, which has it's own gravity, and got the Star.

Once again we feed the hungry Luma 1000 Star Bits and land in the galaxy. We sling down to the entrance to the cave and get the Boo Shroom. We get the 1-up in the cave and sling out. We walk along the spiral path, avoiding Rainbow Stars, but letting one run out when we get one. We long-jump to the moon and get the Star.
