Pull Star Path

There isn't so much a series of planets here as there are a series of very small spheres to walk on. The pull stars are going to be what you need to work with to get from sphere to sphere; grab onto them and pull yourself from star to star. Keep in mind that when you get out of a star sphere, you'll fall towards the nearest gravitational body.

It is our opinion that pull stars are fun. That is all.

Make your way to the three spheres and recraft the launch star from the pieces there. After making your way to the rocket, ride the pull stars off to the next large area and smash the crystals atop it to reveal the Toadstools. When their ship arrives, jump up to it, then use the sling star to reach the final area of the level.

The path in the final area recreates itself as you walk, so it can be a bit confusing to follow. Move slowly and find the five silver stars here to recreate the Power Star.

Kamella's Airship Attack

Jump from the Toadstool spaceship to the enemy fleet and start making your way through space. You can drop the first bridge by spinning into the lever near it. Use the jump-and-spin technique to reach the coins and the 1-Up, then smash the crate to move on.

On the second ship, you can reach the ? block by somersaulting (Z+A) then spinning at the top of the jump. Pick up the shells here by spinning near them, and shake your remote to throw them into the treasure chests. Doing so for all of the chests here will let you move on, but you'll have to kill the Magikoopa first.

Oh, Kamella. You so crazy.

On the next set of ships, drop down and spin near the Koopas to grab their shells. Throw them at the octopi to unlock the bridge leading to the final ship.

Kamella, when she appears, is a large Magikoopa that uses her staff to throw shells and fireballs at you. What you need to do isn't very mysterious: grab a shell that pops out of the staff, get close to her, and chuck it right into her body. You'll need to be close to ensure that you don't miss, but she has a pretty predictable pattern. After two hits, she'll summon a couple of lesser Magikoopas; deal with them before finishing her off.

Tarantox's Tangled Web

Use the pull stars at the outset to pull yourself along to a large enclosed planet.

When you have the hidden star tucked away, return to this planet and find the hole leading inside. The launch star within will launch you to a spider-infested part of the galaxy. Use the sling pods here to start warping from planet to planet, using the lines of coins to tell where you need to go.

Hit Tarantox's belly to finish it off.

Eventually you'll wind up on Tarantox's planet. Jump into the small bits of goo here and pull yourself downwards to shoot yourself into Tarantox's web, knocking him free. Tarantox looks intimidating, but he's not too bad if you know what you're doing. The primary method of attacking him will be to jump into the small pods of good and pulling yourself like a slingshot. He has weak spots on his sides which will force him to pause if you hit them, but his primary weak spot is on his rear end. Run around him until you get into a position where you can shoot yourself into it.

When you hit Tarantox's butt, he'll flip over on his webbing, revealing three red orbs on his thorax. Hit all three of them, then repeat the process a couple of times to reveal the Power Star. Collect all of the coins in the area before grabbing it.

Rolling Green Galaxy

Rolling In The Clouds

You can earn a huge number of star bits here.

This Monkey Ball-esque adventure will have Mario rolling around on top of a ball. Getting used to the controls here can be difficult since they're so different than what you normally use, but you can reap the benefits by grabbing a lot of star bits if you hit the ? coins. Make it to the end of the course to nab the Power Star.
