Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This Star is far out from the mid-level clouds where a Silver Star is. I took 2 hits from a Paragoomba and got the Cloud Suit. Unfortunately, I didn't line my cloud path up correctly and missed the Star and fell in. I jumped off the clouds nearest the Paragoomba.
Take 2- I long-jumped from the middle cloud and made clouds to the Star and got it. This is a Star of all Types.

Throwback Galaxy - Green Star 1
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This one is much closer. I took a hit from a Piranha Plant and heard the Star near the Thwomps. I got a 3-up from musical notes and hear the Star near the bonus area and the black hole. In the 3rd gap between the pushing walls, I saw the glow and fell onto the Star. This is a Type 1, Type 2 Star.

Throwback Galaxy - Green Star 2
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
I saw a Star at the top of the planet in the cutscenes. I reached the top of the planet and tripped the midgate. I tried to lure the Whomp nearby so I could get the Star. It's too high to get from jumping. I was crushed by the Whomp.
Take 2- I rode on top of the Whomp's head by wall-jumping off and landing on the head. I jumped to the Star. This is a Type 3 Star.

Throwback Galaxy - Whomp Silver Star Speed Run
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This time, we have to get all 5 Silver Stars in 2 minutes. I would have preferred 2:30, but I have to work with what I'm given. I got the first 3 easily, but decided to get the one on the side cloud next because I don't have time to go to the top, then the side cloud, then back to the top. However, before I could reach the 4th Star, I ground pounded through the cloud instead of long jumping and fell into the void.
Take 2- I ran out of clouds after the 3rd Silver Star, so I fell off trying to reach the 4th Star with 1 minute left.
Take 3- I got the first 3, but I hit the wall trying to get the fourth and couldn't recover.
Take 4- I got 4, but hit a Goomba and ran out of time.
Take 5- I got 4, but fell off the planet.
Take 6- See Take 5.
Take 7- I got 3, but fell off with a bad shake.
Take 8- I got 2, but ground pounded through a cloud trying to reach the 3rd.
Take 9- I got 1, but was killed by a Thwomp.
Take 10- I got 2, took a hit from a Piranha Plant, and ground pounded into the void. I gave up at this point.
Take 11- This time I got all 5 Silver Stars with 16 seconds to spare. I backflipped up the wall after the 4th Star, which drops us off right by conveyor platform to the top of the fortress. The Star appeared at the top of the fortress.

Throwback Galaxy - Silver Stars in the Whomp Fortress
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
Yet another Silver Star mission. Fortunately, this won't be like Super Mario 64 DS, because they added a Switch Star mission instead of a Silver Star mission. The Bob-omb Buddy is thankful for the restored peace, so he scattered some Silver Stars for us. Gee, thanks. He couldn't just give them to us. The first one is up the ramp in front of us. I jumped off the planet and missed the cloud, so I fell.
Take 2- I got the first star on the ramp. I got 2-up from the Bonus Area. I missed the cloud again.
Take 3- I got the first 2 stars, the second of which is just below one of the moving floor plates near the Thwomps. The third is on a cloud over the water near the "cannon". The fourth one I found was at the top of the fortress above a cloud. The fifth star I found was on the edge of the planet above a cloud over the black hole. I nearly fell off trying to get it. The Star went to the top of the fortress. I tried to long jump off the clouds to the safety of the planet, but ground pounded through the cloud into the black hole. Nooo! The controls are sometimes so unforgiving.
Take 4- I got the first three, and 3-up from the Bonus Area, but took hits from a Piranha Plant and a water strider. I got the fourth star on the cloud of doom. I got a 100 Star Bit 1-up. I took my time to get back to the planet and got the fifth one on top of the fortress. The Star appears above the Bowser panel.

Throwback Galaxy - Return of the Whomp King
Got something! Deja vu. -Transmission 15
Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This is the first of a few galaxies remixed from other Mario games. This one is a near replica of Whomp's Fortress from Super Mario 64. Some of the colorations and platform designs are different, but it still maintains the same feel. The music used in Whomp's Fortress (and several other worlds in Super Mario 64) is remixed here. There is a red Bob-omb Buddy here. It's not pink, won't open cannons, nor will it direct us to Red Coins. It tells us to get the Star back from the Whomp King. I take hits from Piranha Plants and Goombas. I complete the Bonus Area with 3 1-ups from 8 Piranha Plants. Where the cannon would be is a Sling Star that slings us up so we can get a 1-up and some Star Bits. We also get a 1-up from above the Thwomp at the top of the stairs. I take a hit from a Paragoomba and get a 100 Star Bit 1-up, take a hit from a Wiggler, and get a 1-up at the top of the flagpole. Just below the flagpole's platform is the Comet Medal. I failed the musical note challenge, with a remix of the Underground theme. I take some more hits from Goombas. The falling blocks don't regenerate at the top of the stairs. I reach the midgate at the top of the fortress, where there is a mysterious Bowser panel. I ground pound the Whomp waiting there, which explodes into Star Bits and rubble. And...no Star appears! What? Then again, this one didn't have a crown on its head. The Bowser panel uncovers a hole that leads to the other side of the planet where the real Whomp King waits, crown and all. He's mad. So mad, that he doesn't come up with a single word of original dialogue- it's the exact same speech he gave in 64. Just try to ground pound the Whomp King! The battle music is the same funky music as Digga-Leg. He creates a red shadow when he's about to fall. When he lands, he shakes the ground, which will stun you if you don't jump in time. He will also stomp his foot periodically to summon little Whomplets. He is much thicker than the 64 version, so getting on his back to pound is more difficult. I take 3 hits from Whomplets and die.
Take 2- I defeated the Whomp at the top of the fortress and went to the other side of the planet. The Whomp King starts his speech, then says "I'm tired of this speech. Try to ground pound the Whomp King again!" We get in one hit by ground pounding the symbol on his back and cracks appear. We can reach the symbol with a backflip or a jump spin. I take 2 hits from Whomplets before getting in my 2nd hit. He flashes red and makes 5 Whomplets instead of 3. I finally get in my 3rd hit. He gives the same speech of defeat, says "Dang it!", bangs his fist and poofs into a Star.

Chay! AY-O! Lubba asks what we're doing bringing hazardous materials aboard. Hazardous materials? I did no such thing! Then we notice we brought back the Bob-omb Buddy. How do this guys hitch rides with us without our knowing? We must make sure he stays calm because Lubba doesn't want an angry Bob-omb on the ship. The Bob-omb Buddy asks if we've heard of a mystical, legendary world? It sounds like an amazing place, but he wonders how to get there. We will soon find out that it's more proof that the people who worked on New Super Mario Bros. Wii worked on this game. A 1-up appears high on a cloud above the back of the faceship's head.
