Super Mario Galaxy Game Guide/Walkthrough
Kitchen Observatory
Beach Bowl Galaxy
Sunken Treasure
You're dropped off on a beach here. Sink or swim! Swimming can be done by holding down the Z button while you're in the water. A will let you move forward slowly, while spinning will cause you to zip through the water. Find the five star pieces in the water (one is inside the clam, one is inside a box, and another is off to the side a bit). That'll shoot you up to the top of the island, where you can use the groundpound switches to make your way up to the Power Star.
(Don't worry about the treasure chest here, we'll get it in the next level.)
Passing The Swim Test
Welcome to annoyedville, population you. After speaking to the Coach penguin, dive into the water and start spinning around while trying to track down the line of small penguins that are roaming around. You need to spin through the first one to nab the golden shell, then let go of the Z button to automatically float back to the surface. Bring the shell back to Coach for your Power Star.
When you land on the other island, lure one of the beaked creatures over underneath the ? coin that's flying in the sky; it'll hit you into the air and unlock an Ice Mario suit. While you're wearing the suit, you can walljump up the waterfalls here. If you walljump all the way to the top of the island (you'll need to walljump + airspin to reach the last launch star), you'll find a little winter wonderland. Check around for the Power Star in the air, then turn to Ice Mario, lure the beak bird over underneath the Power Star (making a path for it by walking on the water), then have it pop you into the air to reach the Star.
The Secret Undersea Cavern
Get underwater here and grab a shell. Shells will propel you underwater if you just let go of all the buttons; when you're ready to hit something with it, tap Z to slow down and aim before spinning to fire it. Break the wall underwater to reveal a new cavern that you can proceed into, then ground pound the switch to move on.
When you reach the floating platforms, you'll be faced with some tricky maneuvers. Get underneath the block that moves around; one of its sides is missing a face, so you'll be able to tell where you can hide without taking damage. Use that to jump onto the cylinder in the middle of the area. The farther part of the level can be difficult; you need to dodge the mobile blocks, or they'll kill you in one shot. Keep in mind that the moving blocks will jump in place without moving when they're about to turn around; if you're following one and see it hop up and down, it's about to come right back onto you!
Make your way to the end of the path and you'll net another Power Star.
Bubble Breeze Galaxy
Through The Poison Swamp
Bubbles! You need to find a bubble here and hop into it. When you do, you can move the pointer around the screen, then press A to blow on yourself. That'll push you around the level. It can take a while to get used to the motions, and also to the notion that you have to point the pointer at what you want to avoid (meaning bombs). Make your way through the level and you'll find the Power Star eventually.
