Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land on a grassy patch of land surrounded by a purple swamp. The Space Fantasy music plays. We see a smoking red Starshroom where it crash landed. Green Toad says, "Oh no! Our glorious Starship... The Starshroom... It crashed..." Blue Toad tells us, "This is a poisonous swamp. If you fall in there, you're done for... Watch yourself in the poisonous swamp..." Meaning, if we fall into the swamp, it's an instant death. Red Toad says, "Woo! The wind sure is strong here, eh? Don't you think it'd be awesome if you could ride that wind?" We hop over a couple of grassy patches where we see a large bubble coming out of a machine. Before we can hop in, the nearby sign stops us. "Hey! Before you ride any bubbles, let yours truly, Phil Board, bend your ear for a second. You can move around in your bubble by holding down (A). But do it while your cursor is blowing on the bubble. If you go too far to one side, use the cursor to blow on the other side!" We can also leave the bubble at any time by pressing [Z]. If anything sharp, explosive, or electrifying touches the bubble, or it gets pinched, the bubble will burst, and you will most likely fall to your death, unless there's something to catch you.
We hop into the bubble and our cursor becomes an air-blower, with a Star Cursor, so we can pick up Star Bits as we go. We float deeper into the swamp, collecting Launch Star Chips as we go. There are large fans creating air currents that will take us where we want to go quickly. After we collect all of the chips, we guide the bubble to the Launch Star over a patch of sand. We get into a new bubble and pass through a gate created by a spinning tree trunk with a couple of safe holes. We go pass the wooden gates and find a patch of land with a sign and another bubble. We drop out of the bubble with [Z] to read the sign, which says, "East: Path for expters only, South: shortcut" The path past here forks. We can go either way, but the route to the east is a longer and more challenging route that reunites with the path to the south, which is the one we'll take. We pound the switch to open the gates, hop in the bubble and go south, following the coins and dodging bombs. At the end is a sandy patch with the Star. The Star is surrounded by bombs moving in a circle. One of the bombs pops the bubble, but it's okay, because we land safely and jump to get the Star.

Luigi
I had a bit more difficulty this time, probably because I was rushing. It took me 5 attempts to reach the Star, but there's no difference between Mario and Luigi here, as we spend most of this mission in bubbles. I took the route to the south in this mission as well.
