Honeyhive Galaxy - Big Bad Bugaboom

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
When we land, the music is faster paced, and has a new melody in it. The bees are panicking. One informs us, "Augh! The whole Mandibug cland has infested our kingdom!" Mandibugs are all over the planet. Up the slope is an arrow pointing to a water blaster, which bears a resemblance to F.L.U.D.D. It will periodically shoot out water bubbles which can pick us up and transport us to other places. We blast to the other side of the planet and get a Life Shroom. We go through the tunnel, where we find the Queen Bee, who says, "The neighbors are causing trouble again! We would be most grateful for your assistance!" A Launch Star appears over the tree stump and we launch.

We land on a small planet with a Bee Shroom and a bloom. We get the Bee Suit and then use the bloom and fly to a similar planet. We use that bloom to reach a large planet with a large tree. We land and a huge Mandibug appears, Bugaboom. Battle music plays. There are pools of water and blooms on the island, as well as honeycomb the tree. All we have to do is pound Bugaboom three times. We backflipped on to his back and pounded him. His wings unfold and he starts flying, dropping bombs on the way. When he turns, he tilts to the side, so we can't stand on him. We time using the bloom and land on his back and pound again. He turns red and spins. Now, he will tilt to one side even if he's not turning, so landing the last pound is difficult. On my 8th attempt to pound him, it finally connects and he explodes into the Star, which appears over a rock in the water. We fly into the Star.

Interlude
We have discovered a new galaxy. We get another message: "A hungry Luma has appeared!" It will be outside the Terrace Dome.

Luigi
We use the water blaster and get the Life Shroom. We take damage from a couple of Mandibugs before getting briefed on the situation by the Queen Bee. We launch, get the Bee Suit and fly to the battle planet. I get all three hits in under a minute, perhaps under 30 seconds. This was much easier, possibly due to better timing. We get the Star.
