Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
It's time for our first Cosmic Mario race! These missions make us race Cosmic Mario, a starry dopelganger of Mario, to the Star. When we land, the screen has a blue tinge and a remix of both the underground theme and the original theme plays. If we move, Cosmic Mario appears and challenges us. We then line up and the race starts. The Star is at the end of the path of honey. Cosmic Mario is pretty easy to beat, because he doesn't use any speed tricks. As I have played the game before, I know how to go faster- long jump. I long jump up the stretch by the fountain and move quickly into the tunnel, while Cosmic Mario is taking the low road. Touching Cosmic Mario produces Star Bits. We go down the slide and stay on the grassy patches to maintain speed. We jump to get the Star, which is floating over a pool of honey. Jump quickly to beat Cosmic Mario. Failure results in death.

Luigi
Now, for the first Cosmic Luigi race! You make think that Cosmic Mario was a pushover, but Cosmic Luigi is no joke. He runs the race more intelligently, but makes a few mistakes so you can attempt to catch up with him. You'll notice that he uses long-jumps a lot, and so should you. The Star will be in the same location. It took me 10 attempts to win this race, mostly because I kept stalling, especially when trying to execute long-jumps, as the controls are very similar to the backflip controls. What you should do is what he does for the most part: long-jump into the cave and ground pound down the hole in the stump. Wall-jump and spin up the ledge (perhaps using a backflip) and avoid the honey. Fortunately, he slows down towards the end by being stuck in the honey. Use this to your advantage.
