Planets[edit]
Tamakoro Planet Start Planet[edit]
The Tamakoro Planet Start Planet[1] is a grass field with some flowers. It has aStar Ball and a board namedBill Board whom tells the player how to control the Star Ball on their first visit. The only thing of importance on this planet is the hole that launches the player to the next planet. It is a reference to a planet seen inRolling Green Galaxy inSuper Mario Galaxy.
Tamakoro Pole Planet[edit]
The Tamakoro Pole Planet[1] is a giant multicolored wooden ball with numerous paintbrushes protruding from the ground. The planet is split up into four sections with four distinct colors: red, yellow, blue, and green. The hole is always located on the red section, but is blocked and needs a key to open it. During theSilver Chomp Grudge Match mission, the key is located in the green section. However, during theMasterpiece Speed Run mission, the key is found in the blue section. The only enemies located here areGoombas. If Mario spins the cursor over the planet, he will get a lot ofStar Bits.
Tamakoro Flip Panel Planet[edit]
The Tamakoro Flip Panel Planet[1] is a lengthy platforming section on top of a bottomless pit, formed by several unconnected structures.
Mario first lands in the center of a circular, flower-shaped painting palette where theCheckpoint Flag is found. The paint in each well around the platform is a solid block of color. To the north of the palette, Mario will findcosmic blocks that connect it to an elevator with a few Goombas. Towards the left side of the cosmic blocks, there is a1-Up Mushroom.
Once Mario rolls onto the elevator, it moves upward along an iron grid wall. Atop this wall, the player will encounter sixFlipswitch Panels in a triangular formation. Activating them all creates a bridge (a giant ruler) to the last stretch of the planet, five giant rolls of colored tape in a stack. The hole in the middle of the top one is a Star Ball launcher, which will take the player to either the Tamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet or the Tamakoro Hole Bomb Hei Planet, depending on which mission the player is currently in.
If Mario falls off the elevator from the top, he will fall into the void regardless if he would have landed where the cosmic blocks would position themselves in their active states.[2]
Tamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet[edit]
The Tamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet[1] is a long, curved plank of wood with holes and few guardrails. Like inPuzzle Plank Galaxy,buzz saws will cut the wooden platforms as time progresses. Goombas andBob-ombs are encountered here, as well as theComet Medal. This planet ends with ruler bridge (identical to the one in the previous planet) that leads Mario to theHoming Chomp.
Tamakoro Hole Bomb Hei Planet[edit]
The Tamakoro Hole Bomb Hei Planet[1] is only visited during theMasterpiece Speed Run mission, replacing theTamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet. It is a long, flat, green planet with many holes in it. The only enemies here are Bob-ombs. The player will be blasted to theTamakoro Vs Search Wanwan Planet at the end. It is based on a planet in Rolling Green Galaxy from the first game.
Tamakoro Vs Search Wanwan Planet[edit]
The Tamakoro Vs Search Wanwan Planet[1] is where the player fights theHoming Chomp. Four cylinders on the corners of the square arena protrude from the ground, which makes knocking the Homing Chomp more difficult. Once the Chomp is defeated, a third ruler bridge will be revealed, taking Mario to the end of the mission.
This last area is six giant colored pencils pointed down. The middle one holds the Star Ball goal, which releases thePower Star. Mario must then climb the pole nearby to grab it.

Green Star 2[edit]
The player will redo theSilver Chomp Grudge Match mission. The Green Star is located on Homing Chomp's arena in theTamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet, at the top left corner and close to the edge. While the player can grab it while rolling the Star Ball, they may instead choose to defeat the Homing Chomp and release the Power Star before coming back to this one, performing a somersault followed by aspin to achieve the necessary height.
