Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
It's time for an exploratory Purple Coin mission! We have to go all over the main planet. One coin is one the ledge near where we'd normally find a 1-up. Some of these will be easy to find, so I'll just describe the hidden ones. Near the swing set is a ledge we can hop over. There's a coin on the ledge and a few more behind it. Near the waterfall is a tall stack of rocks with a Purple Coin behind it. There are coins around the largest tree, which we can reach using a vine. Near the tree is Purple Coin high above a block. We have to use the spring, springing from the edge and spin to the block. Two more coins are behind the tree Luigi was clinging to. We pound the switch so we can reach the top of the planet. There are a few coins on the ledges. On the back edge, toward the Queen Bee's castle, are a couple of blocks on the other side of the ledge. We hop down and get the coins, finding more coins behind the waterfall. There are more coins on the slide below the stump and along the honey path. Once we get all 100, the Star appears near where we started, so proceed carefully back.
Star Get #108, Galaxy Complete!, 4 Coins, 2027 Star Bits, 13 Lives
Luigi
This takes us two attempts as we fell off with 90 Purple Coins, which is extremely frustrating. We get all 100 Purple Coins, which are in the same location.

Honeyhive Galaxy - Luigi in the Honeyhive Kingdom
Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We get a letter from Mailtoad sent by Luigi. The picture shows him clinging to a tree in the Honeyhive Galaxy. We land in the galaxy and get the Bee Suit. The tree Luigi clings to is up on the same side of the planet as Wiggler. I flew up there, but a bug knocked me off.
Take 2- We fly up to the tree. Even though he sees us, Luigi won't climb down. We can bump into him, or knock him off with a Star Bit. We take a hit from a bug and backflip and spin to knock him off. He says, "Owowowow... Oh, hey bro! I hid because of the big, scary bug! I found a Power Star, so let's go home. Grab that Power Star and let's head back!" He pulls out the Star and we get it.

We get Luigi's letter and land in the galaxy. We get the Bee Suit and fly to the tree, knocking Luigi off with a spin. He says, "Owowowow... Oh, hey, me!" He gives the same speech about getting the Star and hiding from the bug. He give us the Star.

Honeyhive Galaxy - Honeyhive Cosmic Mario/ Luigi Race
Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
It's time for our first Cosmic Mario race! These missions make us race Cosmic Mario, a starry dopelganger of Mario, to the Star. When we land, the screen has a blue tinge and a remix of both the underground theme and the original theme plays. If we move, Cosmic Mario appears and challenges us. We then line up and the race starts. The Star is at the end of the path of honey. Cosmic Mario is pretty easy to beat, because he doesn't use any speed tricks. As I have played the game before, I know how to go faster- long jump. I long jump up the stretch by the fountain and move quickly into the tunnel, while Cosmic Mario is taking the low road. Touching Cosmic Mario produces Star Bits. We go down the slide and stay on the grassy patches to maintain speed. We jump to get the Star, which is floating over a pool of honey. Jump quickly to beat Cosmic Mario. Failure results in death.
Star Get #16, 1400 Star Bits, 20 Lives
Luigi
Now, for the first Cosmic Luigi race! You make think that Cosmic Mario was a pushover, but Cosmic Luigi is no joke. He runs the race more intelligently, but makes a few mistakes so you can attempt to catch up with him. You'll notice that he uses long-jumps a lot, and so should you. The Star will be in the same location. It took me 10 attempts to win this race, mostly because I kept stalling, especially when trying to execute long-jumps, as the controls are very similar to the backflip controls. What you should do is what he does for the most part: long-jump into the cave and ground pound down the hole in the stump. Wall-jump and spin up the ledge (perhaps using a backflip) and avoid the honey. Fortunately, he slows down towards the end by being stuck in the honey. Use this to your advantage.

Honeyhive Galaxy - Big Bad Bugaboom
Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
When we land, the music is faster paced, and has a new melody in it. The bees are panicking. One informs us, "Augh! The whole Mandibug cland has infested our kingdom!" Mandibugs are all over the planet. Up the slope is an arrow pointing to a water blaster, which bears a resemblance to F.L.U.D.D. It will periodically shoot out water bubbles which can pick us up and transport us to other places. We blast to the other side of the planet and get a Life Shroom. We go through the tunnel, where we find the Queen Bee, who says, "The neighbors are causing trouble again! We would be most grateful for your assistance!" A Launch Star appears over the tree stump and we launch.
We land on a small planet with a Bee Shroom and a bloom. We get the Bee Suit and then use the bloom and fly to a similar planet. We use that bloom to reach a large planet with a large tree. We land and a huge Mandibug appears, Bugaboom. Battle music plays. There are pools of water and blooms on the island, as well as honeycomb the tree. All we have to do is pound Bugaboom three times. We backflipped on to his back and pounded him. His wings unfold and he starts flying, dropping bombs on the way. When he turns, he tilts to the side, so we can't stand on him. We time using the bloom and land on his back and pound again. He turns red and spins. Now, he will tilt to one side even if he's not turning, so landing the last pound is difficult. On my 8th attempt to pound him, it finally connects and he explodes into the Star, which appears over a rock in the water. We fly into the Star.
Star Get #7, 8 Coins, 1025 Star Bits, 7 Lives
Interlude
We have discovered a new galaxy. We get another message: "A hungry Luma has appeared!" It will be outside the Terrace Dome.
Luigi
We use the water blaster and get the Life Shroom. We take damage from a couple of Mandibugs before getting briefed on the situation by the Queen Bee. We launch, get the Bee Suit and fly to the battle planet. I get all three hits in under a minute, perhaps under 30 seconds. This was much easier, possibly due to better timing. We get the Star.
Star Get #7, 5 Coins, 642 Star Bits, 41 Lives

Honeyhive Galaxy - Trouble on the Tower
Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
I got the 1-up on the ledge and talk to the Bee near the start. A rock with the ground pound symbol on it. He says, "That rock just fell from the sky! It was... scary." We go up the slope partway, and find another rock with a ground pound symbol. We pound it and a vine appears. The nearby bee says, "The Sproutle is back! Yay!" We use the vine to go to the left side of the planet, up the hill from the start. We find a Rainbow Star in the green pipe by the tree. The path to the castle is blocked by a honeycomb grate. We sling up to a red switch guarded by Wiggler. Pounding the switch flips Wiggler over (any ground pound will do that) and reveal the path we need to take. We stomp Wiggler for lots of Star Bits.
The path goes to the back on the left side of the planet. We find a wooden switch to reveal steps to a high part of the planet. We wall-jump up to there and find two wooden walls in the water. It doesn't look like there's anything up here, until you notice the shadow of a Launch Star in the water. We wall-jump up the walls and launch. We land on a planet with Piranha Plants and jump down to a nearby planet with Wigglers. We sling into a ? Coin which gives us a Rainbow Star. We jump down the hole at the top of the planet. We land on a planet with a windmill. We pound the switch on the other side of the windmill, which starts the windmill. We have to dodge Mandibugs, which look like ladybugs with clamping jaws. They will try to attack us if we cross their path, so get out of the way quickly. We can also defeat them with a ground pound. Back near the windmill, we drop down to a checkered platform with a Life Shroom, although we really don't need the extra health. We ride the platforms on the windmill to the top, where there are two Mandibugs, stacked on top of each other. The one on top is much smaller. Battle music starts playing. We pound the top one and the large one turns red. If we stand on it, it will panic for a while before it flips us off. We pound the bigger one and it poofs into the Star.
Star Get #6, 21 Coins, 930 Star Bits, 15 Lives
Luigi
We got the 1-up on the ledge and free the vine to reach the other side of the planet. We sling up and activate two switches, then launch. We sling and get the Rainbow Star from the ? Coin. We jump down the hole and accidentally ran off the windmill area. There is a Sling Star near the Wiggler that will take us back up there. We activate two more switches to start the Windmill and pound the stacked Mandibugs.

Honeyhive Galaxy - Bee Mario/ Luigi Takes Flight
Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
As we come in for a landing, we see the starry night sky surrounding the galaxy, but when we land, it's instantly a bright, sunny day. This galaxy is mainly inhabited by bees. It's a grassy planet. Honeyhive music plays. If we look to the right, we'll see Star Bits in the shape of an M. Behind where you start is a 1-up on a small ledge. A bee near the start says, "Welcome to the Honeyhive Kingdom! Our queen rules this land." As we continue up the small slope, we see a fountain with a ? Coin. Collecting it makes a Bee Shroom appear near the Piranha Plant down the slope. We get it and transform into Bee Mario! We get a message: "You transformed into Bee Mario! Hold (A) to buzz around." Holding (A) will allow us to fly briefly. We can also stand on clouds and flowers. We will lose the power if an enemy hits us or we touch water. A bee on a ledge directs our attention to a very large bee in the background, saying, "See that area behind the waterfall? That's our queen's castle!" We fly behind the waterfall and find a hole in a stump. Behind the stump is a 1-up. We go through the hole, as directed by the nearby bee, and slide down. We find lots of coins on spinning purple flowers, as well as patches of honey on the ground. The honey is sticky like mud and will slow us down. At the end of the path is a large patch of honey with a Launch Star. We launch to the next area.
We land on a lily pad on a pond. We have to navigate carefully if we don't want to lose our Bee Suit. There are purple blooms that we can shake to use as vines to gain altitude. There is a 1-up on a flower. We launch to the next area, which starts as a wall with patches of honey called honeycomb. We can stick to the honeycomb to climb up walls. We kill a Piranha Plant to get a vine up to the top of the planet. We see the large bee, who has a crown, a cape, and shoes. She is the Queen Bee, and says, "And who might you be? A physician, we presume? No matter. We are in the most vexing predicament and require assistance. The most furious and itchiness plagues our entire being! It must be stopped! Please find the source at once!" We fly to the Queen and start crawling on her. We notice Launch Star Chips on her body, one of which moves around. She tells us that she's feeling better as we collect Star Chips. After we collect them all, and the Launch Star appears, she says, "'Well done!' My thanks! You have shown much bravery, New Bee. We trust that we may rely on you in the future." The Launch Star appears behind her. We fell in the water before we launched. We launched to the top of a tree on a main planet and find the Toad Brigade!
We find Pink Toad break dancing, spinning on his hand. Blue Toad has glasses, Yellow Toad is asleep, and Green Toad has a pick ax, wondering how they are going to get back. Red Toad has a head light and pack and says (if you're not Bee Mario), "'Hey!' Oh, wow! It's Mario! We escaped from Peach's Castle too! But then we thought Bowser would get us, and then we got lost with Luigi... ...Oh! I just rememberd! We found a Power Star! I'm sure you need this, so here, take it. Take this Power Star!" He pulls out the Star. If we are Bee Mario when we land, he says, "AAAAUGH! A BEE! ...What?! Mario? Hey... it's YOU!" and continues about escaping from the castle. The Toad Brigade music plays when he talks.
Star Get #5, 31 Coins, 670 Star Bits, 15 Lives
Interlude
We land on the main deck of the Observatory. Rosalina says, "'Ah!' Mario... Your name is Mario, isn't it? That is what I heard from your friends who just arrived. Mario... It has such a nice ring. 'Look!' Your friends are waiting for you in the Garage. I think they want to tell you something, so you'd best hurry on over there."
We go to the Garage, where the Lumas are creating something. The Toads are there. Yellow Toad is homesick, Blue Toad hopes that Rosalina isn't a witch, and Green Toad tells us that the Lumas are building a ship for them so they can hunt for Power Stars and find Peach. Pink Toad is carrying a mailbag and says, "Mr. Maaario! Check it out, I'm a mailtoad! And I have a letter for you!" It's from Peach. We hear her say, "Oh1" The letter reads, "Dear Mario, I'm in a faraway palce. But I'm all right because you're coming to rescue me! P.S. I hope this gift will come in handy. From Peach"
Pink Toad continues, "Princess Peach included 5 1-Up Mushrooms in her letter. Would you like them now? Yes /No 'Pretty!' Aw... Even when she's kidnapped, the princess is so thoughtful! Well, come see me next time there's mail delivery." We will get a letter with 5 1-ups everytime we start the game, plus a letter with a 1-up periodically during gameplay. How Peach manages to send us 1-ups and never bothers trying to mail herself is beyond me. Oh well, it's a very nice gift just the same.
Red Toad says that he's the captain of the newly formed Toad Brigade. They will help us get Power Stars.
Luigi
We land in the Honeyhive and get the 1-up on the ledge. We get the ? Coin to make the Bee Shroom appear. We get a message: "You transformed into Bee Luigi! Hold (A) to buzz around. We go into the tunnel and get the 1-up behind the stump over the slide. We take the Launch Star at the end of the honey path and climb the honeycomb to reach the Queen Bee. We collect the Star Chips and launch to meet up with the Toad Brigade. Red Toad says, "AAAUGH! A BEE!...What?! Luigi? Hey... it IS you! We escaped from Peach's Castle too! But then we thought Bowser would get us, and then we got lost with Luigi..." We get the Power Star.
Star Get #5, 16 Coins, 488 Star Bits, 18 Lives
Interesting. They mentioned that they got lost with Luigi.
Interlude
We land on the main deck and Rosalina tells us that our name has a nice ring to it. She directs our attention to the Toad Brigade, hanging out near the Garage. Red Toad says, "Luigi! Somehow we made it, too! We'll help you get the Power Stars and save Princess Peach! You can count on us, Luigi! We're all in this together."
Pink Toad has a letter for us from Peach. It's the same letter addressed to Mario. Pink Toad says, "Huh? It's addressed to Mario. Don't be upset, Luigi. Hang in there!" This time, she included 20 1-ups in her letter, which is very generous. It also raises the question as to why she couldn't mail herself. The 1-ups in this game are pretty big, so theoretically, she could fit.
