Bunnies In The Wind

The floaty fluff flowers will let you move from platform to platform here. To use them, spin in the middle of a tuft of flowers, jump up to grab onto the bottom, then spin your way to the next platform. You can only spin three times, though, so be careful not to use them up before you reach safety.

The second platform has a pipe in the underside of it where you can find plenty of star bits. The third platform has a couple of hidden sproutle vines (kill the piranha plants to reveal one of them); if you ride them both, you'll nab a 1-Up.

Continue to explore (if you ever get lost, check the other side of your platform or kill the piranha plants to reveal Sproutle Vines). When you reach the large garden cube, you'll find a bunny that challenges you to chase him. Do so, catch up to him in the tube, and he'll give you the Power Star.

The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows

Check the undersides of the first couple of platforms here to find some semi-hidden areas. Don't worry if you miss some of the ? coins in the air here; they'll eventually reveal a cache of star bits if you hit enough of them in a row, but it's not mandatory.

When you start running into the hedgehogs, do as the bunnies say: groundpound near them to pop them up, then spin into them. You'll need to finish off all the hedgehogs on a couple of planets to reveal new launch stars. When you reach the apples, smash the stumps to reveal the path leading onward.

Major Burrows is a major pain.

When you come across Major Burrows, he'll be chasing a rabbit. Wait until he pops up out of the ground, then groundpound and spin to knock him flying. In the second phase, he'll burrow at you under the ground; run away from him until you see his helmet, then wait for him to pop out his upper body and ground pound again. You'll have to chase him a bit to spin into him this time.

In the third phase, Burrows will move more quickly when he's underground, but you still need to run away and wait for him to pop up a bit before you can groundpound him. When you do, though, he'll immediately start burrowing towards you again; move away a bit and groundpound him again to fully pop him onto the surface and spin into him to defeat him.

Gusty Garden's Gravity Scramble

After you get the hidden star, make your way back to the mission and get past the Chain Chomp. You'll come to a series of platforms with flagpoles in them. You'll need to investigate the upper and lower halves of the platforms to find a number of star fragments.

Stay on the yellow exclamation points, or you'll fall to your death.

When you reach the blocks where gravity shifts, just keep in mind that the only block faces you can walk on are the yellow ones with red exclamation points. Make your way to each switch and flip it by spinning into it. When you get past the cannonball barrage, you'll find the Power Star.
