Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We go through the orange pipe for the 1-up. There is a Launch Star over the house, so we launch to a sandy beach. There are several coconuts on the beach, as well as the red spiky plants. We spin the coconuts into the plants to get rid of them. The large red spiky plant has a Sling Star in it. Pink Toad is trapped in crystal on the beach. If we free him, he spins and says "Woooooo! You saved me! Thanks, Mario! In return, let me tell you a secret about this place. Apparently, those spiky things just HATE coconuts! Shake the Wiimote to spin and smack them with coconuts!" Thanks, but we already figured that out.
We sling to the next beach planet. We knock out most segments of a Pokey with a coconut, then stomp on the head. This releases a Launch Star that takes us to a planet with two Chomps. We go down the green pipe to the secret area, which has a Rainbow Star. We get it and get a message: "You became Rainbow Mario! You're invincible!" As Rainbow Mario, we can destroy everything and it will burst into Star Bits. Unfortunately, this will not keep you from falling into the void. A remix of the Wing Cap music plays. We run into the Chomps outside to get rid of them. We launch to a disc planet with Goombas, Chomps, and electric fences. There are also Bullet Bills that will home in on you if they see you. On the other side of the planet is a tower that fires the Bullet Bills. The Launch Star is in crystal on top of the tower.
We land on an Airship. There are two green Octopi on another ship we can't reach. They fire flaming rocks and coconuts at us. Dodge the rocks and spin the coconuts to return them to sender and kill the Octopi. Don't worry about aiming: they go right back to the Octopi. Taking them both out lowers a bridge to the next airship. We free Green Toad from the crystal and he tells us we have to keep going. On this airship is a sparkling crate which holds a Life Shroom. We get a message: "Your health grew to 6! If it drops below 4, it will return to normal." This allows us to take more damage, but if we take too much, we lose the power until we find another Life Shroom.
We launch to a lava bowl planet. If we approach the lava, King Kaliente, a pink octopus with a crown and cape, appears. Different battle music plays. He will fire three flaming rocks, which we must dodge, then a coconut, which we have to volley back to him for a hit. We have to volley the coconut one more time after each hit. The sound effects are the same as throwing fireballs into Squizzard's mouth. After two hits, his crown falls off. Three hits finish him off. He is knocked back into the lava and the Star appears over a ledge of the bowl.

Luigi
We launch from the roof of the house on the first planet and take out a spiky red plant with a coconut. We sling to the next planet and kill the Pokey with a coconut and a stomp. We launch and enter a pipe with a Rainbow Star. We get a message: "You transformed into Rainbow Luigi! You're invincible!" We sling to the next planet and use the Launch Star on top of the Bill Blaster, We land on an Airshop and take out the Octopi to lower the bridge. We get a Life Shroom with the accompanying message, and launch to the battle arena. We get in our first two hits, which knock Kaliente's crown off, and get the third hit for the Star.
Star Get #4, 8 Coins, 402 Star Bits, 15 Lives
