Gusty Garden Galaxy - The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
I died a few times trying to get the ? Coins, but we don't need them for this mission. I realized this on Take 8. We must use the Floaty Fluff to cross the gaps in between planets. Getting the ? Coins makes Star Bits. Once we reach the last planet reached by the Floaty Fluff, we must kill all the Monty Moles crawling over the long, squiggly planet to make the Launch Star appear. We fly through a ring planet with Pull Stars, but we miss the Pull Stars. We land on an apple planet and pound a stump to make a large caterpillar appear from the apple and go into the next planet, forming a bridge for us. If we listen closely, we can hear it eating. We travel from planet to planet, pounding stumps to make the caterpillar form bridges to other planets and, eventually, the Launch Star. Other stumps on the planet will make bugs or a Life Shroom appear.
After launching, we land on Major Burrows's planet, where we see a Star Bunny being chased by a large Monty Mole with a spike helmet. The Star Bunny calls for help, believing that he'll be eaten otherwise. We pound the ground near where Major Burrows is to make him appear from underground and spin for one hit. The battle music starts. The Star Bunny hides on a ledge on the tree for safety. Now, Major Burrows is after us. We use the same strategy (ground pound, then spin), but we wait to ground pound until his head appears from the ground, and once we do, he'll leave his tunnel and walk around. We must quickly reach him and spin him for the hit, or he'll go back underground again. After the second hit, he turns red and his eyes turn orange. This time, after we ground pound, he'll flip over back into the ground, then come after us. We must pound the ground near him once more, then spin him once he's out walking around. He then explodes. The Star Bunny thanks us and we get the Star.

Luigi
I died a few times using Luigi, because the Floaty Fluff ran out at inopportune times. On Take 5, I survived dealing with Floaty Fluff and progressed. I also was able to grab a Pull Star so I could reach the ring. It is a ring made out of metal grating wrapped in spiky vines. We must wander around the vines, or risk jumping over them to reach the Launch Star to the apple planet. Along the way, we can get a 1-up. We pound the stumps on the apple planets and reach the Launch Star, getting the Life Shroom on the way. We start the battle, getting in the three hits while taking a couple ourselves. We defeat him and get the Star.
