Dreadnought Galaxy - Topman Tribe Speed Run

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land in the galaxy, with 6 minutes to reach and battle Topmaniac and get the Star. It's a generous time limit, but it the cannons could slow us down. Oddly enough, during one of my attempts, I lost all of my health from the cannons, but could still move around and attempt to go through the cannon fire. Eventually, the game registered the fact that I was out of health. I reached the cannons at 5 minutes, Topmaniac at 3:30 to go and defeated him with 3:08 left. This took four attempts.

We have six minutes to get the Star. I started the battle with 2:31 on the clock and beat Topmaniac at 2:04.

Dreadnought Galaxy - Revenge of the Topman Tribe

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land on the disc planet and use a green spring Topman to reach the Sling Star. This planet containas a Luma in a cage. We must free it by spinning two red Topmen into the electric fences. The Luma transforms into a Sling Star and we land on a cube. We use a green Topman to reach a 1up and pound the switch for Pull Star Chips, one of which we need a green Topman to reach. We use the Pull Stars to reach the Launch Star and land on a rocket-shaped planet.
Underneath the planet is a Life Shroom. We have to use the Pull Stars ahead of us to reach the Launch Star, while dodging cannon fire and bombs. I died from a cannon ball.
Take 2- I got the Life Shroom and made it through, which requires precise timing to dodge the cannonballs. We launch and land on a long, blue platform with spike lasers. There are lines on the floor that tell us how far the laser will go. We just hop over the laser rings to dodge them. There is a Life Shroom, if you need it (if you have 4+ health, you won't get nine bars of health. You will refill your health meter to a maximum of 6). We reach the Launch Star at the end of the path.
We land on a disc and the pre-battle music plays. We walk to the other side of the planet and go up the stairs to the battle arena. We see Topmaniac hovering overhead and that there are only short electric fences that move around instead of one surrounding the entire arena. We jump into the arena to start the battle. It's the same battle as last time, but we have to spin him into one of the the short, moving electric fences. He takes three hits and explodes.

We land on the disc and spring to the Sling Star. We spin the Topmen into the electric fence and sling to the planet with the Pull Star Chips. We launch, get the Life Shroom, and use the Pull Stars to reach the Launch Star. After that, we dodge ring lasers and launch to the battle arena. We start the battle, get in three hits, and get the Star.

Battlerock Galaxy - Topmaniac's Daredevil Run

Welcome to the Galaxy!
To make things a little easier, we land on the battle arena saucer. The daredevil music plays. We enter the arena and start the battle. The battle isn't too difficult; just avoid Topmaniac's spikes and kill off the red Topmen before going for the third hit. They will try to use their spike when you land from the third stomp. Get in three hits and the Star is yours.

Luigi
This Star took me 6 attempts, namely because I did not kill the red Topmen. In one attempt, Topmaniac landed on me. On the 6th attempt, I defeated Topmaniac, killing the red Topmen first.

Battlerock Galaxy - Topmaniac and the Topman Tribe

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land on a saucer and take out the Rocky Wrenches on the saucers. We use the Pull Stars to reach the next saucer with Amps. We sling to another saucer that moves through a field of bombs. We reach the Launch Star and find a Luma in a cage surrounded by electric fences. To open this type of cage, we must spin a red Topman into the electric fence. On this planet is a Life Shroom above a rising platform. Once we free the Luma, it says "Thank you! Oh, sweet freedom! I'll show you a shortcut as your reward. And... TRANSFORM!" The Luma becomes a Launch Star and we launch over to a corner of the Battlerock. We take out the Rocky Wrench and break open the crate in the back corner for a green pipe that leads us inside.

This area is a 2D area with gravity arrows. The Underground remix plays. There are patches of lava and moving platforms which can push you into other gravity fields. There are arrows on the wall that we can spin to change the direction of the gravity. If the platforms pin you to the ceiling, you'll die instantly. We walk on the ceiling and fall through an area with lots of Star Bits. We use a spring to reach a green pipe. There's a purple spring laser that springs us to a Sling Star, which takes us to a moving yellow platform while an alarm sounds. We land in an area with two red Topmen and two sets of electric fences: one green and one red. We spin both Topmen into the electric fences and gravity pulls us outside, past where the electric fences were, to a Launch Star. There's nothing of interest down there if you drop down. We launch, with Mario facing the camera with explosions in the background.

We land on another saucer, while the pre-battle music plays. On the other side of the saucer is the battle arena. We climb up the stairs and look up, seeing Topmaniac hovering overhead. We hop into the arena, which is lined with an electric fence. Topmaniac descends and the battle starts. This is a simple battle: stomp Topmaniac and spin him into the electric fence. Do this three times and the battle is over. After the second hit, instead of small yellow Topmen, red Topmen appear. Avoid Topmaniac's spikes and this should be an easy battle. Topmaniac explodes into the Star.
Star Get #24, 12 Coins, 1398 Star Bits, 18 Lives

Luigi
We kill the Rocky Wrenches and use a Pull Star to reach the next saucer. We sling to the saucer that moves and launch at the end of its path. We free the Luma using the red Topmen and get the Life Shroom. We launch, take out the Rocky Wrench, and find the pipe inside the crate. In the 2D area with gravity arrows, we take a short cut by backflipping into the area with the blue arrows. We spring from the purple lasers to a Sling Star. We land on a descending circle that stops in an area with electric fences and Topmen. We use gravity to take us to the Launch Star. We launch facing the camera, with explosions in the background. We land on the underside of the saucer that is the battle arena. We start the battle and defeat Topmaniac for the Star.
