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.

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.

Buoy Base Galaxy - The Secret of Buoy Base
Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land on near the base of a fortress in the middle of a pool of water. The Buoy Base music plays, which is one of my favorites. A nearby Gearmo tells us, "This here's a floating fortress. We call it Buoy Base. But nobody's using it now, so we're just here for upkeep." First, we're going after the secret Star here. We dive underwater, where the music changes. There are Bloopers to avoid here. On the side of the bottom of the pool is a pipe in a cage. How can we break this cage? With a Torpedo Ted, of course! There are a couple of torpedo blasters underwater, so we approach one and lead a Torpedo Ted into the cage (it has the same homing mechanism as the Bullet Bills.) Once the pipe is freed, it produces a vortex, that, if we get close enough to the top of the pipe, will draw us into it. The pipe takes us to the other side of the planet, so that if we look at the ground, we'll see, through the water, the underside of the planet. We land on a yellow path above the water. If we fall in the water, we'll have to go through the pipe to get back here again. Going along the path, we have to deal with Bullet Bills. We make our way on the path and take a hit from both a Bullet Bill and an Amp. We reach the end and see a Green Star in a cage. We lead a Bullet Bill to the cage to break it and get the Star.

Interlude
We land on the deck and discover a new chapter is available in the library. Polari says, "You rescued a Green Power Star! These stars have a special power. Ask the Green Lumas about them. After all, they will transform into Green Power Stars someday!" We've collected our first Green Star and the first Green Luma has appeared near the translucent green Launch Star. Collecting the remaining Green Stars will bring back the Green Lumas and make the green Lauch Star work. This will allow us to access the Trial Galaxies, which are difficult challenges based off of objectives we've seen before.

As with Mario, we dive underwater and lead a Torpedo Ted to the caged pipe so we can access it. We appear on the other side of the planet and take a hit from a Bullet Bill before leading one into the cage for the Green Star.
