Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
After landing in the Galaxy, we step off the platform, but step off the side closest to the crystal to the Sling Star, so I only activate one Cosmic Clone. We sling to the Piranha Plant, which produces a vine when defeated. We take the pipe into the 2D antfarm and hear the Star, which is over the 2nd patch of dirt near a yellow drill. I missed the Star and killed the drill, so I returned to the map. This is a Type 1 Star.
Take 2- I lost the drill, but backflipped, then wall-jumped to the Star.

Spin-Dig Galaxy - Green Star 2
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This is another Type 1 Star. After launching twice to the midgate we find ourselves on the circular planet with the disappearing platforms. I took a hit from a spinning flower. I backflipped and spun from the safe block near the Paragoomba. If you're more adventurous, you can try to time your jump with the appearance of the platforms.

Spin-Dig Galaxy - Green Star 1
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This Star appears later in the galaxy. After taking a hit from a yellow drill, I launched and heard the Star chiming. I found it over of the fence that prevents you from going to the other side of the planet without a drill. I jumped to get on the fence, and backflipped and spun to get the Star. This was a Type 1 Star.

Spin-Dig Galaxy - Digga-Leg's Daredevil Run
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We return to the galaxy to beat Digga-Leg again, this time with 1 health bar. Fun! There won't be any coins this time. We land on his planet and wake him up. I get in one hit, dodge a yellow drill, and am killed by Digga-Leg.
Take 2- I get in one hit, but a yellow drill kills me.
Take 3- I get in two hits, dodge all drills, and get in the third hit. I drill to the Star.
Star Get #66, Galaxy Complete!, 493 Star Bits, 5 Lives

Spin-Dig Galaxy - Silver Stars Down Deep
Detecting anomaly. Void Marios. -Transmission 14
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We return to the galaxy. A sign warns of more Cosmic Clones. We have to search for something that will trigger their disappearance. We crack the crystal containing a Sling Star, which makes them disappearance. Killing the Piranha Plant releases a vine to the Bonus Stage and a pipe. I completed the Bonus Stage, but I warped before I could collect the 1-ups. After going down the green pipe, we get a drill in a box. We reach another green pipe. There are yellow drills and Amps, and I take damage from both. Going through the yellow pipe leads us to launch to a BLUE Starshroom. Blue Toad mentions that there are Silver Stars on the next planet. This is one of MANY Silver Star missions in the game. I think the number rivals, if not exceeds, the number of Silver Star missions in Super Mario 64 DS. (There were only a couple in Galaxy.) The basic objective is to collect all 5 Silver Stars. They will combine to form a Star.
We launch to the planet and pick up a drill. I found the first one just by walking around the planet, which is another 2D sidescroller. I found the 2nd by drilling in an area to the right of the platform we landed on. It sends us to the other (left) side of the planet into a pocket where the Star is located. This type of view is another 2D sidescroller, which makes it look like an ant farm. I walked around to the right to the edge and drilled to the 3rd. Regardless of where you dig, the gravity will pull you down, so you can only drill back to the side you landed on from launching. I found the last 2 in the same pocket just a little to the left of the 1st drill site. The Silver Stars swirl around Mario and come together to form a Star.

Do my eyes deceive me? - Transmission 14
Interlude
Mario lands in the engine room. There is a Spin Drill in a dome, which is what the seven tiles on the floor are for, instead of Grand Stars. Lubba has taken an interest in our new item, saying we shouldn't drill through our "faceship" or it will get a headache. He also tells us Green Toad is collecting Star Bits for safekeeping. We talk to Green Toad, who has 100 Star Bits to share or hold. I deposited all of my Star Bits with him. The deposited Star Bits can be shared with other gamers through the files, but since it seems I'm the only one playing the game at the Archive, I'll just let him hold them for safekeeping. He gives us 2 1-ups and calls himself our local banktoad.

Spin-Dig Galaxy - Digga-Leg's Planet
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
The galaxy's name is very explanatory. The mission sounds like a spin on Megaleg's Moon. We get a new item, the Spin Drill. It operates like its name says, spin to drill. We can tunnel to the other sides of planets instead of walking around. There was a 1-up in a cage. Mario is hit by one of the many yellow drills that populate this planet. There are also spinning flowers that cannot be hit while spinning without a Rainbow Star. There is a small challenge on this planet. We must drill to the other side of the planet and land on the tall pillars and find the Luma. The Comet Medal is just off the side of one of the pillars, so you might have to start the challenge over again. I had Mario talk to the green TV while holding the drill and it glitches out of his hands. I reached the Bonus Stage and killed the 8 spinning flowers with the Rainbow Star and get the 3 1-ups. I launched to another planet, which I drilled into for some coins. I launched again to the Starshroom.
This game introduces some discontinuity from Galaxy. Red Toad says that the Starshroom is new and built by a Luma that crashed and decided to help the Toads launch into space. Red Toad acts like he's never met us before. He also found a lamp for his head, which now makes him Captain of the newly formed Toad Brigade. (This has less continuity than the Nancy Drew series.) There is a midgate flag on the Starshroom, and we launch to Digga-Leg's planet.
When we land, Digga-Leg wakes up. He is much smaller than Megaleg and only has 2 legs instead of 3. We also can't climb up, which is just as well, because the Star is on the underside. Digga-Leg creates yellow drills which will circle the planet-it's a 2D sidescroller. Jumping on the yellow drills will also create coins when stomped. Digga-Leg moves around. Mario must pick up a Spin Drill and drill on the opposite side of the Star to crack the glass. After the first hit, the Star is covered up and Digga-Leg hops around trying to squish Mario, and sometimes squishes the yellow drills. If Mario's drill hits any other part of the robot, you'll hear a ping, and Mario will be sent back to where he drilled into planet. I get in the 2nd hit, and am hit several times by yellow drills. We finally get in the 3rd hit, after which, Digga-Leg explodes. A regular Star appears-(What? No Grand Star?). Instead of walking around, I decided to drill to get the Star.

Interlude
We open up the path to 2 more galaxies. Lubba mentions that a Luma has returned. This Luma built the Starshroom, which is now located near Starship Mario. A Warp Pad appears in the right ear. I got a 1-up from rolling the die and from the Starshroom. On the Starshroom, a couple of Toads are hanging out. Pink Toad says Starship Mario looks more like Luigi- the hair, moustache, and hat are all green. Pink Toad also says that Luigi is back in the Mushroom Kingdom. Red Toad says that he has our mission of collecting Power Stars, which I don't believe, because the Toads are complete cowards.
