Planets[edit]
The titles of the following subsections areconjectural unless otherwise noted; an official name for each section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors.
If anacceptable name is found for a given section, then that section should be changed to the new title.
Starting Planet[edit]
The starting planet of the galaxy. There is a lot of mud on this planet, as well as a fewFizzlits and aChance Cube. When Mario or Luigi land, various parts ofMegahammer that Mario or Luigi fought and defeated earlier inBowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet are found destroyed, including therobot cockpit. A singleBullet Bill still pops out of one of Megahammer's blasters however. There is a glass cage protecting aCannon on top of the remains of one of the robot's arms. Mario or Luigi must lure the Bullet Bill over here and have it destroy the cage to access the cannon and progress to the next planet. The entireToad Brigade is also found here.
Boomerang Bros. Planet[edit]
A castle-like planet inhabited by twoBoomerang Bros. There is a large target on one side. If Mario or Luigi launch themselves out of the cannon and hits it in the center, they will get a1-Up. There are also several poles on this planet, and one of them has aLife Mushroom at the top. After defeating the two Boomerang Bros, aLaunch Star leading to the next planet will appear.
Cannon Planet[edit]
This small planet has only aCheckpoint Flag and a cannon on top of it. Mario or Luigi must shoot themselves out of the cannon and onto another large target on the bottom of the next planet, but they must make sure not to hit one of the fourSpace Mines orbiting around the top of the planet. There is also a small electric fence extending partway around the middle of the planet. The Checkpoint Flag is absent in the "Boomsday Machine Daredevil Run" mission, as it is moved to the Dark Matter Planet instead.
Spinning Platforms Planet[edit]
After Mario or Luigi the next target, they will find themselves on a planet consisting mostly of many different colored platforms spinning around at various speeds with ablack hole inside of it. The second set of platforms has Space Mines floating over them and aComet Medal in between two more Space Mines. There are also a fewCloud Flowers here. Mario or Luigi must use them to make their way to the top of the planet where they willGround Pound more stone wheels to make the Launch Star appear. This will lead them to the final planet in the galaxy. Pieces of rubble can be found surrounding the planet, but have no collision.[1]
Dark Matter Planet[edit]
A large, rectangular-shaped planet with a few small platforms floating indark matter. Following these, there is also a platform that tilts and moves while carrying Mario or Luigi. They must move from side to side as the platform tilts back and forth and moves along so as to avoid touching the dark matter. At the end of the planet is a Checkpoint Flag and a Launch Star. This planet only appears in the "Boomsday Machine Daredevil Run" mission, and replaces the Spinning Platforms Planet that appears in the regular level.
Boomsday Machine Planet[edit]
A cylindrical planet where Bowser Jr. waits in his latest invention, theBoomsday Machine, to battle Mario or Luigi. There are also multiple air vents located on the planet, which Mario or Luigi must use in tandem with theCloud Flowers found on the surface of the planet to propel themselves upward where they must Ground Pound Bowser Jr.'s Boomsday Machine a total of three times to defeat it.
