Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This is the final challenge from The Chimp. We need to get 10,000 points in 180 seconds. I died from the tubeworms and got over 30 points. I didn't get the number because I died from an enemy didn't check my points before I died.
Take 2- 6170 points. The Chimp tells us that we can get points from throwing shells at enemies. I don't doubt that, but swimming is incredibly difficult without the shell.
Take 3- 8290 points. We can't get combo points because we can't stomp the enemies here. All we can do is shine the light from the shell on the enemies- (it kills tubeworms and Boos, but I'm not throwing the shell), to get Star Bits from the tubeworms and coins from the Boos.
Take 4- 7940 points.
Take 5- I got a 100 Star Bit 1-up and 9770 points. So close!
Take 6- 9530 points and a 100 Star Bit 1-up.
Take 7- 9310 points.
Take 8- 4330 points because I died from tubeworms.
Take 9- 9780 points and a 100 Star Bit 1-up.
Take 10- 10,070 points. Yes! I found it was better not to get the coins from Boos unless they were in my path. Do what Dory says- "Just keep swimming", to get this Star. The Chimp says, "Wonderful! You are my greatest rival when it comes to gaming skill. Take this Star as a token of my respect. Maybe you can teach me some of your moves sometime?" I don't think so. I don't want to do this Star again.

Interlude
Baby Luma gets another letter from Rosalina. She tells him to be strong and to know that she believes they will be reunited soon. 50 Star Bits were attached. We're almost done, only 6 more Stars to go for 120!

Honeyhop Galaxy - The Chimp's Score Challenge
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
It's time to take out another one of The Chimp's challenges! This time, we're going through Honeyhop to get 10,000 or more points in 120 seconds. This level has more Sling Stars than Fluffy Bluff and takes us to the top, where the Queen Bee was. Here we go! I got 6300 points on my first try. Once again, I died from failure.
Take 2- See Take 1.
Take 3- 9700 points. Almost there! This time, I skipped the group of green Octoombas on the right.
Take 4- I got 4700 points and died from too many hits from Octoombas.
Take 5- 9610 points. So close!
Take 6- 7800 points.
Take 7- 9140 points.
Take 8- 8730 points.
Take 9- 8210 points.
Take 10- 8800 points.
Take 11- 11010 points. Finally! That was annonying! The Chimp says we may be his lifelong rival. He then says he might need to find some new games so he can enjoy our frustration more! I don't need this! I really don't! We now know that The Chimp has a sadistic side. Unfortunately, there's one more challenge left. Nooo!

Fluffy Bluff Galaxy - The Chimp's Stomp Challenge
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We land back in the galaxy to find The Chimp waiting for us. He says he's the greatest game player in the galaxy. He has the high score in this game of 10,000 points. To get points, we have to stomp enemies (Octoombas and Goombas) and collect the coins they drop. If we match or top this high score, we'll get a Star and maybe some respect. We have 120 seconds to stomp as many Octoombas as possible. Coins give 100 points each, a single stomp gives 100 points, a Star Bit gives 10 points, and combo stomps (stomping enemies in series without touching the ground) will yield more points. If I stomp three enemies in a row, I'll get 100 points for the 1st one, 200 for the 2nd one, and 300 for the third. I can get a maximum of 300 points per enemy. I can also get 100 points for defeating an enemy by spinning. This mission will take us up to the first midgate area of Fluffy Bluff.
I take a hit from a Goomba and an Octoomba and get 7110 points. As I did not complete the objective of this mission, I died. I died from failure here, while I didn't during the skating challenges, which is odd and annoying.
Take 2- I got 6800 points. I decided to try again much later, so I could build my skills. I originally attempted this Star very early on, but I needed more control so I could combo stomp.
Take 3- I got 8440 points and died from failure.
Take 4- 7140 points.
Take 5- I got 11040 points. At the top, there is a block that will give you many coins, so you can rack up more points. Yes! The Chimp says, "Fantastic! You might be an amazing rival to my own skill. Here is your Star!"

Freezy Flake Galaxy - The Chimp's Skating Challenge
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
Finding this Star took a while. I wandered over to the last Bowser ice scupture and fell in the lava a few times. It was on my ninth try that I found out where to go. The tree on the right near the first Bowser ice sculpture hides a green pipe. We roll into the frozen domain of the Chimp. We have to bump the enemies and avoid the spiky ones. We need 500 points to win. Seriously, we beat the challenge with 600 points. 500 should be a piece of cake. And it is. It takes me 3 tries to do it- 430, 470, 500. The enemies appear in the same pattern as in the other challenge. I run into a spiky Gummit on the winning try. This qualifies us as his shining rival. He may not like it, but he promised us a Star.

Melty Monster Galaxy - The Chimp's Bowling Challenge
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We land back in Melty Monster and spy a green pipe just to the left of the main platform. We find the Chimp has set up a new game and wants us to try it. We get a Rock Mushroom and trip the midgate. We roll into the Chimp and off the level. Let's try this again!
Take 2- The Chimp wants us to use the Rock Shroom to bowl into the Pinheads- the bowling pin shaped enemies we met much earlier. Each one gives us 100 pts and we need 5000 or more. I got 600 before rolling off the level.
Take 3- We progress a little further and find that the Pinheads are arranged in clusters, with ramps to the next platform. Some of the platforms have challenges, including gaps and rotating platforms on which the Pinheads sit. There is also a blue area where Mario cannot step over or he'll get a foul and be returned to the start of that platform. His score will not diminish. He can go over the foul line, but he has to be a rolling rock. This time I got 3300 pts before rolling off.
Take 4- 2000 pts.
Take 5- 2300 pts.
Take 6- 1100 pts. At this point, I gave up to try and get other Stars.
Take 7- I returned to the game and got 2200 points.
Take 8- 4300 points. So close! I rolled off on the rotating platform.
Take 9- 5100 points. You don't have to hit every Pinhead to get 5000+ points. I reached the last platform before being returned to the start. The Chimp is amazed that we beat his score and has to acknowledge us as his greatest rival. We will get a Star to prove it. We should come back to try and beat the score, but I don't think I will.

Shiverburn Galaxy - The Chimp's Ultimate Skating Challenge
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
Shiverburn? That name has a similar pattern as Freezeflame. We land in the galaxy, and surprise, surprise, it has the same music as Freezeflame. We land on a lava covered planet, with the lava version of the Freezeflame music playing. There are lava pillars ande a volcano. We ride a platform through the lava while dodging lasers. We get a Cloud Suit and jump to a blue switch. We pound it and the planet completely freezes over. There's no timer, and the music changes permanently. We have frozen lava! We take a hit from the laser andget a 1-up and a Life Shroom. I get another Cloud Suit, take two more hits from lasers and fell off the edge.
Take 2- I fell in the lava, and later froze the planet. I get the 1-up and the Life Shroom and wander past the Launch Star to a green pipe at the other edge of the planet. We enter into the frozen lair of The Chimp. He says for this challenge, we need to bump the Gummits. We should avoid the spiked Gummits, or not. We start the challenge with 40 seconds to get 600 points, with green Gummits worth 10 points and gold ones worth 50 points. The Ray Surfing music plays as we skate around, running into the Gummits. On my first try, I got 440 points. Fortunately, The Chimp won't kill you if you fail, so we can try until we get it! I slowly figure out that the Gummits will always appear in the same pattern with a certain time limit before they disappear. We also can change directions must faster by jumping. It took 27 tries to get a score of 620, and my hands hurt afterward. The Chimp can't believe we beath his score. We may be his eternal rival when it comes to gaming skill. Seeing us in action was well worth a Star. He flips and claps and the Star appears.

Fluffy Bluff Galaxy - Search for the Toad Brigade Captain
New signal acquired. Cloud Suit away. - Transmission 1
Welcome back to the Galaxy!
The music starts out like the intro to Gusty Garden, but turns into its own original music. There are several tall trees and a lot of the planet is covered in water. There are also dive-bombing blue birds that resemble the bomb-dropping roosters in Dusty Dunes. I found a green pipe behind the tall tree on the first planet. It leads to a brown room with a ? Coin. Grabbing the ? Coin will make coins appear and a timer start. I failed to get the coins in the time limit and left. We meet a person made of carved wood, which we later learn is called a Whittle. Their speech is simple, but gets the point across. He stands in front of a flower with a cloud-like bloom. He says "Cloud step?". We get the Cloud Flower, so we henshin into Cloud Mario. There are three clouds trailing us wherever we go. Spinning turns one of the trailing clouds into a cloud platform that will disappear after a while. I use the clouds to reach the top of the tree. On top, we find Yellow Toad, once again fast asleep, but he mentions that Red Toad went missing. He also mentions the word "Coins". Using the Cloud Suit, we reach a cloud above the tree. There is a hungry Luma there, who wants 100 coins. Not Star Bits, coins. Star Bits are so much easier to get and stay with you after you lose a life. Your coin count goes back to zero every time you lose a life. I am unable to collect 100 coins at this point, so I leave him be.
Like the Bee Suit, the Cloud Suit will disappear if Mario touches water. I reach the midgate after climbing up some clouds and launch. More Cosmic Clones appear, but disappear when I collect the 5 Launch Star Chips. I get a 100 Star Bit 1-up and talk to a shaking Green Toad. He says he and the Captain tried to race a monkey, but he got left behind. Could this be the return of Ukiki from Super Mario 64? We climb up the trees and find Red Toad, shaking just like Green Toad. He was challenged to a race by a blue monkey with sunglasses. Nope, not Ukiki. We jump across the clouds to a peak. On top of the peak is the aforementioned monkey. He calls himself The Chimp and thinks we're a high climbing rival. He claps his hands and gives us a Star. Kind of anti-climatic - I was expecting to race him like the Toads, but I'll take an easy Star any day.
That's a thing of beauty. -Transmission 1
