Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
When we land in the galaxy, we here the jungle music, so I'm looking for the Star somewhere in the slide mission. We talk to the Whittles, who question Luigi's bravery. I launch to the midgate, and soon figure out that the Star is somewhere on the slide. Great. I start sliding and find the Star near the end of the slide with the red Wigglers and the red spiky plants. I got a 1-up, but missed the Star and fell off. This could take a while, but at least I know where the Star is.
Take 2- I got 1-up, but took a hit from a Wiggler and a Spiny, missed the Star, and fell off.
Take 3- See Take 2.
Take 4- I got 1-up and fell off.
Take 5- I got a 1-up, hit a plant, and fell off.
Take 6- I got a 1-up and the Star. Timing your jump to the Star is crucial. This is a Type 1 Star.

Tall Trunk Galaxy - Green Star 2
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We launch to the midgate of the cylindrical planet, where we'll find the next Star. I hear the Star and find it above the green pipe. I get 2-up and go around the planet so I'm above the area where the Star is. I go off the edge with Yoshi, fall, then jump off Yoshi and spin to get the Star. This took a few tries. This is a Type 3 Star.

Tall Trunk Galaxy - Green Star 1
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This is a big, multi-leveled galaxy, so looking for Stars should be interesting. I found a Star above the branch with the Life Shroom. I wall-jumped off of the trunk after jumping off Yoshi to get it. This is a Type 1 Star.

Tall Trunk Galaxy - Tall Trunk's Purple Coin Slide
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
Oh, no. After the nightmare that was Silver Stars in Double Time, I was not looking forward to collecting Purple Coins on a slide. We can't go back and get coins we missed. We land on the platform before the slide. A Gearmo tells us that he lost 140 coins on the slide, but he would be happy to get 100 of them back. A likely story, but I guess it helps move the plot along. In Galaxy, there was no explanation for the existence of Purple Coins. They were just there. Because helping is a sign of a hero, we will try to collect 100 coins. Unlike in Starshine Beach, it is impossible to collect all 140 coins due to their placement in different areas at the same distance on the slide. We'd need to be in two places at once to get them all. We get started and the slide music plays. I got 47 before falling off the slide.
Take 2- I got 72 and reached the end of the slide. There is a pink Gearmo at the bottom who tells us to keep our eye on the prize. And then we immediately die. Not nice!
Take 3- I got 40 and hit the red spiky plants before falling off.
Take 4- I took off my headphones, got 73 coins, and fell off.
Take 5- I got 84 and died from failure.
Take 6- I got 97 and died from failure. So close!
Take 7- I got 96 and died from failure.
Take 8- I got 83 and fell off.
Take 9- I got 102. We trade the coins for a Star. The Whittles say, "You hero", "Hero, hero", "Hero symbol Star". Before collecting our reward for helping and niceness, we wander behind the tree for a 1-up.

I got 5 Stars in this session. Currently, I have only one more Star to go and it's a doozy.

Tall Trunk Galaxy - Tall Trunk's Big Slide
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
We return to Tall Trunk, but a few things have changed. The music changes to that in Wild Glide before you start gliding. There are also swings hanging from the branches. The Whittles have interesting things to tell us: they are brave and protect this tree, they show courage by sliding and get a Star, the tree is sacred, we must swing hard. Two give us some very important news: a "Green Stache" got nervous and ran away. This means Weegee was here! (Luigi-that's what Baby Mario calls his younger brother.) This can also mean that the Whittles are working for Bowser-only he calls Luigi "Green Stache" and, formerly, "Greenie". I get 3-ups- 1 from the crystal and 2 from the Bonus Area. We use the swings to climb up the tree to the Launch Star and take off.
We land on a flat, grassy, fenced in planet with a midgate and more Whittles. "Slide. Never quit." "Be brave. Jump in." "Sharp red things. No touch." "We watch slide." We move to the start of the slide. There is no music here, only the sound of wind rushing by. Well, there's nothing else to do but tackle the slide. We jump in!
The music is a remix of the music used in all of the Super Mario 64 slides. But this is no ordinary slide- Mario is standing the entire time! There are also enemies along the slide-Spinies, Wigglers, and red spiky plants. I take hits from all 3, but there are coins along the slide so we can recover health. We get a 1-up, but we fell off the slide. Steering is not that easy- the slide loops upside down and to the side. In places, it goes into a mossy tunnel, where the desirable path is worn away to dirt.
Take 2- I got a 1-up, hit the Spinies twice and fell off near the red wigglers because I couldn't recover. This slide is not very forgiving.
Take 3- I fell off early trying to get Star Bits without actually steering.
Take 4- I took several hits and fell from a bad jump.
Take 5- I took many hits and fell off near the end-I couldn't recover.
Take 6- I took a hit from a Red Wiggler, which makes train whistle noises, and couldn't recover.
Take 7- I took many hits, but I made it to the end! We land on a fenced in planet with another tall tree. Behind the tree from where we land, there is a 1-up. The Whittles judge us very brave, the bravery symbol, the Star is ours. Here is the symbol of courage!

We land on the base, so we brought someone back with us. Lubba says we brought back a Whittle-(not Luigi?) Lubba likes Whittles and this one has something to tell us about Comet Medals. The Whittle says if we collect many medals, a Comet arrives. There is always a Medal the 1st time in a galaxy. Look hard for them. Find.

Tall Trunk Galaxy - The Flotacious Blimp Fruit
Nice and easy! Power up! -Transmission 12
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
The galaxy name is very descriptive. We land on a planet with a very tall tree. The music from Yoshi Star Galaxy plays here. We can walk under the tree to the dirt below. There is a 1-up on the underside in crystal, and we also find a Yoshi egg. Back near the tree, we get 2-up from dealing with 8 Piranha Plants in the Bonus Area. The inhabitants of Tall Trunk are people made out of carved wood- the Whittles. We are told "Tree top. Good." and "Blue fruit. Delicious." We approach the aforementioned blue fruit, which looks like a large, bulbous berry. Yoshi eats it and automatically inflates and starts floating upward as he exhales in a whistle. Yoshi runs out of air and lands on a platform branch of the tree. There is a sign that says we can make Yoshi hold his breath to float and hover in midair. Another sign says to shake to land. On a higher branch, we get a Life Shroom. Looking out from near the top of the tree, we can see two more planets in the distance. One is cylindrical and the other is very long and sometimes spiraled. We reach the Launch Star and launch to the cylindrical planet.
We reach the midgate which has more of the blue Blimp Fruit. We use it to get the Comet Medal near the ? Coin. We also collect the coins from the ? Coin for a 1-up. Nearby we find Launch Star Chips. We know the drill-collect all 5 to reform the broken Launch Star. We have to make the cylindrical nature of the planet work for us so we can collect all of the Chips when our Blimp Fruit runs out. To complicate matters are Paragoombas and the red spiky plants. We take a hit from a red spiky plant, but recover Yoshi and launch once we get all 5 Chips.
We land near the midgate in a spiral 2D planet. The path moves in a spiral and we must float upwards towards the Star while dodging the red spiky plants and Paragoombas.

Interlude
The music has changes slightly on S.S. Mario. Lubba says we have another hungry mouth to feed. There is a new pipe in the left ear. There is a new friend with something special for us. There are shooting stars in the background. We go into the green pipe and find a plush red room with a blue Luma waving around dice. We can trade 30 Star Bits for one spin, but I decide I can get my own 1-ups much more cheaply. I get a 1-up from the die outside the pipe.
