Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We land on a rock planet that has the same music as Space Storm. There is one Goomba on the planet. We kill it and it releases a Sling Star and sling to the next planet. There is a sign on the planet that says we have to defeat every enemy to get through. That spells out clearly what must be done. This planet has lava pools with lava demons. We kill all 3 and long jump over a pool to get the Comet Medal. We sling to the next planet, where we use a Fire Flower to take out 3 urchins. We released the Sling Star, but pick up a Fire Flower for the next planet, just in case. It was a good call, because the next planet is crawling with crabs. Grilled crab, any one? Two of the crabs are red and the other is blue. Taking out this one gives us a 1-up. The rest of the fireballs travel all around the planet. We sling to a pink Starshroom. The Luma who made the Starship must've made one for every Toad in the Brigade. There is a midgate on the Starshroom. Pink Toad says he's searching for the Captain, but there are enemies everywhere.
We sling to a stone planet shaped like a Jack 'o' lantern. There are pumpkin Goombas and a green pipe in a cage we can unlock with a key. One of the Goombas has the key. We use the green pipe and find ourselves in the water with 3 Boos in a 2D antfarm. The background is a jack 'o' lantern pattern. There is a shell at the bottom which we use to kill the Boos and release the Sling Star outside. We sling to a red Starshroom, where we find the Captain. He says a Captain should never be scared, even surrounded by enemies. But he's taking a break right now. We trip the midgate and sling to an ice planet. There, a hungry Luma wants 20 coins. We're in luck- we have 21! We feed him and he turns into a brown, spherical planet. We launch and the sky, formerly dark, turns bright pink and yellow, like a sunset. Who should appear but Gobblegut! Not just any Gobblegut- this is an orange, flaming, fiery Gobblegut! The only think safe to touch are his bellyache bulges. I get in 3 hits, but I miss a few and hit his body enough times and die.
Take 2- I buy a Life Shroom from the Luma Shop and sling to the ice planet and launch to his planet. I take 2 hits from him and notice that there are lava pools we must navigate as well. I get in 3 hits, but take enough hits to lose the Life Shroom. I noticed that Gobblegut creates the lava pools when he dives. I took two more hits, but got in the last 3 hits with one bar of health left. Phew! I hope there's a Grand Star from this! But no! he explodes into a regular Star. I beat a flaming Gobblegut and get a regular Star! Not worth the effort I put in! (But I'll take it anyway.)
Star Get #76, 39 Comet Medals, 140 Star Bits, 1451 Coins, 12 Lives

Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla - Fiery Flotilla Speed Run
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
I gave in and decided to try a boss level comet Star. In this mission, we have to take out Gobblegut in 2 minutes. We also don't get a Life Shroom here, so we only have 3 bars of health. I took out three bulges and he turned red. I took a hit from Gobblegut. Gobblegut only dives when he snorts his train whistle snort. I don't know how to trigger the dive sequence, so I had less than 30 seconds left when he dove again. Oddly enough, I died from too many hits.
Take 2- I took out three bulges, then two more, but took too many hits. I want my Life Shroom back!
Take 3- Took out three bulges, took too many hits.
Take 4- I took out three bulges. I took one hit before taking out two more bulges. I finally take out the last bulge and he explodes into a REGULAR STAR! What? I don't get a Grand Star for beating him within a time limit? Not cool! I want a better reward!
Star Get #64, Galaxy Complete! 385 Star Bits, 1366 Coins, 5 Lives

Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla - Gobblegut's Aching Belly
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
Surprisingly, they don't call this a galaxy. It occupies the "castle" spot on the "World" Map, so this is the last place to go for Stars in "World" 1. There are lots of Bowser Jr. statues. The music is new. It is initially mischievious and playful, then turns darker with a sense of adventure, kind of like Robin Hood. We take a hit from a Helmet Goomba. Early on, we come across a Thwomp. Being curious, we wall jump to the top of the Thwomp and find the Comet Medal. There is a door with Jr.'s face on it. We flip a switch to open it. We see a sea of lava and lava pillars, but there isn't anything to worry about if you stay on the platform in the middle. We dodge the Dry Bones on the platform. We reach the Launch Star and launch to the next planet.
We reach the midgate, and after taking a hit from a Dry Bones, we get a Life Shroom. We launch again and reach the battle arena.
Bowser Jr. appears in a space capsule, with the same music heard in Galaxy. He says we've made it this far, but he won't need his dad's help to beat us. He has a big surprise for us. Dinner's on for Gobblegut, but he should watch out for his Bellyache Bulges. (If the game wants to let you know what to do, the text will change colors for the item of interest- it's sort of a "Hint-hint, wink-wink, nudge-nudge".) The text appears red in the game. Bowser Jr. leaves and a large dragon with color-changing scales appears, and the music changes to new music. He has no arms or legs, but glides with grace and ease, like Fracktail and Wracktail. It's almost enchanting to watch. His snorts sound like a train whistle. The enchantment ends when he dives into the tiny planet your standing on, nearly hitting you in the process. He gets momentarily stuck at the red bulges in his body. You have a small window of time to spin the bulges. They burst into red dots-gross! Gobblegut will come back while the rest of him tries to go through the planet, and dive in near you. After bursting about 3 bulges, Gobblegut will snort again, turn red, and release more Star Bits. After taking out the bulges, (there are about 6) beams of light will come out of Gobblegut (like the way the bosses go in Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story), and he'll explode. This releases a Grand Star. We grab the Grand Star, with remixed Grand Star music. Hey! We got a big Star! The game is over! Time to rescue the Princess!
GRAND STAR GET! #1
There is similar animation back to Starship Mario as in Galaxy, but instead of going into the beacon, it disappears above S.S. Mario (Starship Mario) and forms a portak to the next "World".
Star Get #12, 7 Comet Medals, 281 Star Bits, 490 Coins, 9 Lives
Interlude
Lubba says Choosh! He notices we brought back a Grand Star. We can use its power to travel to another "world" and we're onestep closer to retrieving our special one. We'll travel through time and space to unknown "world". Mario takes the helm, and with a train whistle, the S.S. Mario takes off through the portal into the new "world" where we should find more Stars.
