Planets[edit]
Giant Rotation Planet[edit]
The Giant Rotation Planet[1] is where the player first lands. TwoJack O'Goombas are encountered at the beginning. The planet consists of four odd-shaped millstones that the player must use to get to theLaunch Star at the end. ManyOctoombas are found on the millstones. At the bottom of the second and fourth millstones are areas of land which protects the player if they fall off. Under the fourth millstone is aHungry Luma which requires the player to feed it 30coins. If the player does so, the Luma can open the passage to theHuge Hammer Planet. If not, the player can take the Launch Star to thePusher Wall Planet.
Pusher Wall Planet[edit]
The Pusher Wall Planet[1] is filled withJack O'Goombas. As the name suggests, the planet's main obstacle is the wall's ability to push the player out of the planet's gravitational force to ablack hole, similar to that of aBomp. The objective is to free theLuma that is trapped in a cage. The player needs to climb to the top left where a switch similar to those found inGusty Garden Galaxy from thefirst game is located. After the player hits the switch, the walls fall apart and the gravity changes. The player needs to make the way to the ground pound switch on the bottom, freeing the Luma. The Luma transforms into a Launch Star and takes the player to theRolling Drum Planet.
Huge Hammer Planet[edit]
The Huge Hammer Planet[1] is accessed by feeding theHungry Luma thirtycoins on theGiant Rotation Planet. The planet is only visited duringThe Ledge Hammer Trap mission. It is a planet that has sixLedge Hammers on it. Getting flattened by a Ledge Hammer makes the player automatically lose a life. The ground moves in a circular pattern and has many pieces of it cut out. Electrical fences also appear on the planet. There are twoblue switches found here that slows down time temporarily, and they are helpful when trying to get to the other side. There is also a1-Up Mushroom that can be acquired by jumping onto the head of a Ledge Hammer after slowing down time. After the player passes the first Ledge Hammers, there is a greenWarp Pipe that leads to the upper area of the planet. The same five ledge hammers are found here, but this time, the cracks in the wall show where the Ledge Hammers are hitting. There are no blue switches up here to slow down time. Another 1-Up Mushroom can be found above one of these Ledge Hammers. At the end of the upper area is thePower Star.
Rolling Drum Planet[edit]
The Rolling Drum Planet[1] is the final planet in the galaxy. It is made up of three distinct areas. In the first area, there aregiant cogs that fall from the sky and roll downhill. The player should use the indents in the stones to avoid being crushed. This specific area is where theComet Medal is located. The second area consists of spiked ground and walls which the player must avoid.Bars are also found here. The player can wall jump off the two millstones in the area to reach the final area. In this area, the player should take the elevator and hit the switch to make millstones fall from the sky. The player needs to use the millstones to reach the bars and finally thePower Star.
