Shiverburn Galaxy - Green Star 3

Welcome Back to the Galaxy!

This Star is on the third planet. You can't reach it with regular jumps, because it is high above a cloud. This means that you have to keep a Cloud Suit on through the first 2 planets with a couple of clouds left. The only place to get a Cloud Suit/ more clouds is on the first planet, so you can't take any damage or use up your entire cloud supply. This is like a Daredevil run. This took me 20 Takes. During some of the takes, I returned to the map after losing my Cloud Suit. On Take 20, I reached the cloud, took the 1-up, and backflipped, used a cloud, backflipped again, and spun to get the Star. This is a Type 1, Type 3.

Shiverburn Galaxy - Green Star 2

Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This Star is on the second planet. Due to the lava, I had a difficult time with this level. It took me twelve tries, but I made it to the other side of the second planet by taking a gutsy shortcut- long jump from the first planet and make clouds to the 2nd planet, which will get you to the other side of the planet where the Star is. It's to the left of the rock with the 1-up and it's right by the lava wall. I walked on the rocks and jumped to get the Star. This is a Type 1, Type 2 Star.

Shiverburn Galaxy - Green Star 1

Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This is an interesting Star. I went through and froze the planet. I took a hit from the laser before getting a Life Shroom and a 1-up. I hear the Star nearby and see it in the volcano. You need to freeze the planet because the volcano is erupting when you start. I long jumped to the volcano and made clouds to reach it. This is a Type 1 Star. Be careful, the volcano top is small, so you can't move too far on it.

Shiverburn Galaxy - Octo-Army Icy Rainbow Romp

New signal acquired. Rainbow Mario at 4 o'clock! - Transmission 11
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
The Romps are a new type of Comet mission. All you have to do is defeat all 30 enemies on the planet in a given time limit. It's like what my physics teacher once said- it's simple, but not easy. We get 50 seconds to defeat 30 Octoombas- mostly blue ones, but there are a few pink ones. Good news- you get a few Rainbow stars (they don't regenerate). Bad news- you don't land on the planet, so you have to waste time running up the Starshroom to the Launch Star, and time ticks down while you launch. This takes place on the arena on which you battled Prince Pikante, but the fences are gone. The best way to do this is to skate and recharge your Rainbow Star strategically- do not let it run out. Also try to make the last ones you have to take out are not on the outer edge. I missed one on my first go and ran out of time.
Take 2- I fell off. At this point, I hadn't noticed that there was a counter on the screen in the corner, so I don't know how many I got.
Takes 3-4- See Take 2.
Take 5- See Take 1.
Take 6- I got them all! Once you do that, the timer stops. Unfortunately, I fell off. Noooooooo! See warning about outer edge. I postponed this until I got more lives because I had 1 life left.
Take 7- See Take 2. I returned immediately after getting more lives.
Take 8- I got all 30 of them and didn't fall off!

Shiverburn Galaxy - Prince Pikante's Peppery Mood

Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We land back on the lava covered planet. After taking a hit from the laser, we freeze the planet over so we can get the 1-up and the Life Shroom. I take 3 more hits from the laser and launch.
We trip the midgate on a dome of lava. There are rock platforms rotating over the dome. I fell into the lava two times and lost the awesome power of the Life Shroom. I open up a chest containing a 1-up using a coconut. In the next area, there are meteors raining down from the sky. I take a hit from one, get the Comet Medal, and move to an ice covered area. The meteors melt into lava in the ice. We go to another ice planet, but with 1 health bar left, I die from a hit from a green Octoomba.
Take 2- I got at 100 Star Bit 1-up, but fell into the meteor-created lava. I almost fell off the planet getting a Life Shroom. I beat the Octoomba. There are octopi out in the lava that shoot coconuts at you. Line yourself up with the coconut and spin to send it back, taking out the Octopus. It will return automatically; you don't have to aim. After taking them all out, a bridge forms over the lava. Ice falls down from the sky, and makes hexagonal crystals just like the Ice Flower in Galaxy. I got a 1-up, but fell in the lava three times and lost the Life Shroom. We launch to a green Starshroom.
Green Toad says we're deep in enemy territory, so I buy a Life Shroom. We trip the midgate and launch to a filled-in figure-8 shaped planet. We see a crowned, caped green octopus riding in a tank. This is Prince Pikante, the son (-in-law? The game makes no attempts to clarify.) of King Kaliente, whom we battled in Galaxy. I take hits from the meteor lava and the tank. Prince Pikante moves about quickly in his tank, making it difficult to line yourself up with a coconut that he will periodically shoot. He also shoots rocks from his tank. When you do line up with a coconut, spinning it will automatically send it to hit him regardless of where he is. He then shoots out several rocks and coconuts at once. I dodge them, but fall in the lava. I get in my 2nd and 3rd hits. The tank lights up and explodes. The Star finally appears!

Interlude
A Comet appears in Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet. Baby Luma gets another letter, saying that many kind-hearted people out there are watching over him. May the stars shine down on him. 50 Star Bits were attached.

Shiverburn Galaxy - The Chimp's Ultimate Skating Challenge

Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
Shiverburn? That name has a similar pattern as Freezeflame. We land in the galaxy, and surprise, surprise, it has the same music as Freezeflame. We land on a lava covered planet, with the lava version of the Freezeflame music playing. There are lava pillars ande a volcano. We ride a platform through the lava while dodging lasers. We get a Cloud Suit and jump to a blue switch. We pound it and the planet completely freezes over. There's no timer, and the music changes permanently. We have frozen lava! We take a hit from the laser andget a 1-up and a Life Shroom. I get another Cloud Suit, take two more hits from lasers and fell off the edge.
Take 2- I fell in the lava, and later froze the planet. I get the 1-up and the Life Shroom and wander past the Launch Star to a green pipe at the other edge of the planet. We enter into the frozen lair of The Chimp. He says for this challenge, we need to bump the Gummits. We should avoid the spiked Gummits, or not. We start the challenge with 40 seconds to get 600 points, with green Gummits worth 10 points and gold ones worth 50 points. The Ray Surfing music plays as we skate around, running into the Gummits. On my first try, I got 440 points. Fortunately, The Chimp won't kill you if you fail, so we can try until we get it! I slowly figure out that the Gummits will always appear in the same pattern with a certain time limit before they disappear. We also can change directions must faster by jumping. It took 27 tries to get a score of 620, and my hands hurt afterward. The Chimp can't believe we beath his score. We may be his eternal rival when it comes to gaming skill. Seeing us in action was well worth a Star. He flips and claps and the Star appears.
