Green Stars[edit]
Green Star 1[edit]
The player will redo theRock and Rollodillo mission. Instead of getting the Rock Mushroom on the Starting Planet, the player must repeatedly wall jump and spin on the sides of the bridge to climb it. At the top of the bridge will be the first Green Star. If the player knocks down the bridge before grabbing the star, there will be no way to reach it unless they were to restart the level.

Prima Official Game Guide description[edit]

"Boulder Bowl" appears to be a pun on "bowling ball", alluding to the galaxy's rolling theme and its use ofPinheads.
