Buoy Base Galaxy - The Floating Fortress

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land in the galaxy and once again dive underwater. We can't climb up the fortress as is, so we must find some way to make it accessible. Directly underneath the fortress is a large metal ball in a cage. Once again, we lure a Torpedo Ted over to destroy it. With that, several platforms float to the surface. There are now yellow hexagonal buoys for us to stand on. Now, we can climb up the fortress.
First, we wall-jump up past a water blaster and a pushing wall. We walk around the cylindrical fortress to the left, avoiding Thwomps. We find a pink Gearmo, who says, "Who left these water shooters on? Hey, would you give that valve over there a twist and turn them off?" You may be able to dodge the water blasters, which will shoot you off the fortress and back into the water, but turning them off makes your life easier and a green spring Topman appears to boost you to the next level of the fortress. Before we do that, we spin a blue screw to make Pull Star Chips appear and the top part of the fortress starts spinning. We must carefully use the moving platforms to reach all of the Pull Star Chips while dodging Amps. Once we have them all, we use the Pull Stars to reach a spherical planet with laser rings. We spin the screw on the planet, opening it up, which makes it look like a Poke Ball. Opening the planet reveals a pool of water with the Star, so we dive to get it.

Luigi
There's nothing different about using Luigi on this mission. We break the cage with the metal ball to make the fortress accessible, turn off the water blasters, spin the screw to make Pull Star Chips appear and activate the platforms, use the Pull Stars to reach the next planet, spin the screw to open the planet, and dive for the Star.
