Mario: He is the hero of all plumbers. He is short, he's fat, And HE IS MARIO!
Obviously the person you play as, rescues Peach.
Luigi: He is the second hero of all plumbers. He is tall, he's skinny and HE
IS LUIGI!!! Mario's brother. If you fully complete Mario,
you get to play as Luigi and rescue Peach.
Peach: A.K.A Princess Toadstool. We don't know if Peach is Mario's girlfriend.
She is always the damsel in distress. She is pretty, kind and ALWAYS
KIDNAPPED. Once again she is kidnapped by the evil Bowser.
Bowser: The KOOPA KING! Only because he breathes fire and has a spiky shell,
but anyway. He is gigantic he is back and tougher than ever.
He is also much scarier and brutal. He has gone into the depths of space
this time. He kidnaps Peach and to make his own empire. He basically wants
universe domination.
Silver Luma: He is a little cute star. He helps Mario by giving him the ability
to breathe in space and to do the spin attack.
Toads: They just like to hang around. You may find them in your adventures as
they give you hints to the power star, or find and give you the power star.
Rosalina: A somewhat universe queen. She is the 'mama' of the Luma's. She
cares and watches over the Luma's. She controls the observatory your on.
Star pointer: It ain't noticeable by Mario at all. It helps you shoot starbits
and grab onto pull stars.
Elder Luma: Rosalina's trusted advisor. Has been with her for a long time.
Now you know basically most of the characters. You will find more but there not
as important as these ones. To the Powerups.
------------
6.) Powerups
------------
Green mushroom: This is a 1-up. I think we all know what this does, it gives
you an extra live. Duh!
Red mushroom: This increases your health to six. Will reduce if below 4 back to
three. Other weaknesses are dieing returning to the star ship. (Observatory)
Bee mushroom: Transform into a bee to fly. There is a fly meter which will
tell how long you can fly for. Weakness is to water or getting hit by enemies.
Boo mushroom: Transform into a boo to hover around. You can hover around as
much as you want. Other Boo's will be attracted to you and if you get hit by
them, you lose your powerup. Other weakness is light.
Ice flower: Transform into ice suit. Freeze water/lava as you walk on it. Your
spin attack won't work well and your jumps won't either. Can only have it for a
limited time.
Fire flower: Transform into fire suit. Spin to shoot fireballs at objects. You
can still get hurt by lava. Can only have it for a limited time.
Spring: Transform into a spring to jump around. WARNING: this is hard to
control. You will jump about and you can do a high jump to reach inaccessible
heights. Weakness is getting flunged by a launch star or a sling star. Also
water is a weakness too.
Invincibility star: From the old Mario games. Turn invincible for a really
short limited time. No weaknesses.
Red Star: YES flying! You can fly about by jumping then spinning in mid-air. No
weaknesses. Only lasts for a limited time. (More than Ice and fire flowers)
That is all the powerups in Super Mario Galaxy. Now, for the items.
---------
7.) Items
---------
There are items in the game where you use to attack enemies or some are other
stuff.
Coins: Increases health by one. You donÂ’t get a star if you collect 100 of them.
Purple coins: Collect 100 of these for stars.
Green shell: Non-homing shell that can be used for throwing and swimming.
Red shell: Homing shell that can be used for throwing and swimming faster.
Gold shell: Homing shell that can be used for throwing and swimming much
faster. It is rare that you encounter these.
Box: Smash these to get coins or lives.
? Coin: These activate many things. Who knows what surprise is next?
? Block: Contains 10 coins or 10 starbits if repeat jumping.
Starbits: Shoot these projectiles at enemies to stun them. Or feed them to a
hungry Luma.
-------------
8.) Storyline
-------------
Super Mario games do not really have a story because it is basically the same
all the time. Anyways let see what this game's storyline is.
''Every hundred years, a comet appears in the skies above the Mushroom Kingdom.
The comet was so large one year, it filled the skies and sent countless
shooting stars raining down.
The Toads brought the shooting stars to the
castle, where they became a great Power Star.
It should have been a very happy time for the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom.'
''Dear Mario,
I'll be waiting for you at the castle on the night of the Star Festival.
There's something I'd like to give you.
From Peach.''

9.) Walkthrough
---------------
NOTE: Star missions marked with a H next to the name means hidden star. L for
Luigi star, C for comet star and HH for another hidden star.
>>>>>>>>>STAR FESTIVAL>>>>>>>>>>>>STAR SHIPKING KALIENTE'S BATTLE FLEET <
Hmph, once again the same planet. There are 2 ways here, boring short way or
funner interesting way. The short way is triple jumping on top of the house
onto the launch star. The fun way is to go into the green pipe on your left.
Under the planet, keep going left until you find a orange pipe. Get inside it
to be inside the so called house. YouÂ’re in a box area, anyway follow the
bridges to the ? coin Musical notes will appear with a time limit.
So hurry and collect them in order to unveil a long remembered song. After
all notes are collected, a 1-up will appear, stay on the top part and wait
for the 1-up to come down to you, or upwards towards you. Once you have
collected it, go into the orange pipe exit and launch off the launch star.
On this sand planet with water. Unfreeze the Toad in the ice and he will give
you a hint how to kill the spiky bushes. You know how, hit them with coconuts.
One of the obvious spiky bush has a sling star underneath it.
Launch off to the twin planet. Same thing goes here, except it is a giant
Pokey. Hit it with the coconuts and then jump on its head to reveal a launch
star. Launch off to a little planet with two chomps.
This tiny planet has a pipe under it, inside you go. Get the ? coin to get your
first powerup. The invincibility star. Kill all the goombas and quickly kill
the two chomps outside to get starbits. Once you are done here,
blast to a electrical planet.
If you still have the rainbow star, just run through the electric onto of the
planet. If you donÂ’t, just jump over them. Here you will be greeted by homing
bazooka bills and blue aliens. Ignore them and get to the top of the planet to
blast off onto airships.
Here you will notice two, fat, green, ugly aliens shooting coconuts and flamed
ones. The NON flamed ones need to be rebounded back to those aliens so you can
access the second airship by the bridge. Free the Toad for hints, and go to the
side of the ship. In other words, from when you went on the second airship, go
straight forward to a box. You will find your first red mushroom! Health
increases to 6. Will reduce back to 3 if you get hit under 4.
Now from there, go right past the blue aliens to shoot off to
King Kaliente's planet.
You will find a Luma saying if you need health, shoot at the yellow lights
on the floor. Go on top of this planet to find KK. Ughh, more aliens!
When will they ever stop! This one lives in lava and is dark red.
His attacks are shooting 3 flamed coconuts at a time and spawning blue
flames. To kill KK, he often shoots out a normal coconut.
Fling it back by using the spin attack. After a hit, he will start reflecting
them, I think he want's to play tennis. This means you need to reflect it back.
Keep doing that same procedure until he dies. Claim the star as yours!
> LUIGI ON THE ROOF < (L)
This star will not appear unless you do a event later in the game and getting a
letter from Luigi that he needs rescuing. All you have to do is triple jump on
top of the roof and talk to Luigi. OR you can take the orange pipe way.
> PURPLE COIN OMELET < (C)
This star will not appear until you beat Bowser three times.
Anyway there are 100 in this run.
The first 15 are on the first planet. 15/100
On the way to the red ball planet there are 10 and if you blast from the launch
star in mid-space, you get another 10. 35/10
You now should be on the egg planet. There is a trail of 10 coins which lead
to a launch star. 45/100
Blast off to get 10 and then into the mid-space launch star
to get another 10 65/100
You should now be on the red planet. Get the 15 coin trail to get a score of
80/100 purple coins.
On the way to the mid-space launch star you should get 10, blast off from the
mid-space launch star to get the last 10. 100/100
Your destination should be on the pear planet if you followed my walkthrough.
See how easy GEG purple coins are? Don't worry, these challenges get harder!
> DINO PIRANHA SPEED RUN < (C)
This mission will activate later in the game. You get 4:00 minutes to get the
star. What do you do. RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES!!! Nah, kidding. This should be a
easy star, forget about the starbits to get to the Dino piranha in time.
> >>>>>>>>>>HONEYHIVE GALAXY>>>>LOOPDELOOP GALAXYPULL STAR PATH <
Wow! Isn't the music simply calm? Romantic perhaps? Or soothing? Let's get
going.
Basically you start on a square shaped planet. Point the cursor onto the pull
star and go onto the icy cylinder planet. From here go to the other side
and pull yourself all the way past the L-Block planet and onto the three
balls planet. Here you must collect star chips to form a launch star while
avoiding the electrical balls. Blast off to a familiar rocket.
If you have played Pikmin, you should know what this rocket resembles. From
here get on top of the rocket and pull yourself to the blue ring ball planet.
Do the same thing past the third planet, pull yourself past the broken
asteroids. Get onto a T-shaped planet and head to the top. Here you got to
free all the Toads from there cold death. The captain and his brigade shroom
appear while the Toads are criticising him for not rescuing them. Anyway the
captain has found a shortcut to the power star so use the sling star and head
onto space junk.
Here you have to collect all the silver stars, 5 to be exact. The tip here is
to keep on path and do not run to fast otherwise it is black hole for you.
Get the star slowly, don't rush to it.
> KAMELLA'S AIRSHIP ATTACK <
Kamella has found you and is now taking an assault in Space Junk galaxy. From
the two shrooms, shoot off onto airships. Once on the first airship, just go
and spin the switch to activate the bridge. Talk to the rabbits for tips
how to do higher and long jumps. Get the 1-up here too. Get onto the sling
star by breaking the box to get onto another airship. Here, grab the shell and
throw it at the treasure chest at the front of the ship to open a launch star.
You may wish to open the other chests too. You are now launched onto another
airship. Urghh, remember those ugly green aliens from GEG? They are now back.
They don't shoot any coconuts anymore. What do we do? Spin the Koopa to grab
its shell and toss it to both aliens. Cross the bridge for a boss fight with
Kamella
Easy boss fight so don't be frightened. Here, run around from her fireball
magic until you see green magic. Go near it and just as it is about to touch
you, spin to form a shell. Throw it at Kamella. Rinse and repeat.
> TARANTOX TANGLED WEB <
A spider boss! If you are scared of spiders, don't worry as this is not scary
at all. From the yellow mushroom ship, talk to the captain if you want. Once
you are donÂ’t talking to him, pull yourself to the familiar cylinder
icy, planet. From here pull yourself again, but different route past the L-block
planet. You are now on a icy planet. Look around for a hole and follow the
broken bridge planks on the floor to a launch star. Blast off to another
straight path planet.
NO THE SONG! IT IS GONE!!! Oh well. From here just follow the path, past the
spiders and meet a new form of transportation. This here is a sling pod, learn
to use it then fling yourself to a block planet. Then fling yourself to a
familiar rocket.
Once on the rocket, go to the bottom this time and fling yourself to land on a
L-block planet. Once again, fling yourself here to the big spider egg. It
cracks and reveals a spider web and a spider incubator. You know what to do
here, fling yourself onto the incubator to meet Tarantox!
A ACID SPIDER! OH NOES! Once again, another easy boss fight. Here is what you
do, avoid his acid attacks and get behind him. Once you are behind him, look
for a nearby sling pod and shoot yourself on to his big green butt. He is
upside down! Get on a sling pod and shoot yourself on each three red circle
balls. He is angry! What do you except from Super Mario galaxy? The boss always
gets angry. This time he shoots acid from all parts of his body. DO the same
thing by flinging yourself on to his butt, then his three red balls. He should
be dead now! Grab on a sling pod and shoot yourself onto the sticky star.
> YOSHI'S UNEXPECTED APPEARANCE < (H)
Does this mean Yoshi is back. No, no, no. Its just his head. COLLECT A LOT OF
STARBITS (50) AS OF NOW AS YOU NEED THEM TO FEED A HUNGRY LUMA ! The hungry
Luma is on the icy planet. Feed him and meet Yoshi head planet, with acne!
Well it looks like acne. All those Goombas, infesting Yoshi head. Poor Yoshi.
Let's get rid of them. Notice the number when you jump on the heads? after
number 8, you will start getting lives if you keep killing Goombas without
touching the ground. Once you have killed all of them, get the star on Yoshi's
nose. Think of that as his gratitude.
> PURPLE COIN SPACEWALK < (C)
Spacewalking? Aren't you already doing that? Anyways purple coins here are
grouped and timed. You have exactly 2:00 minutes to get all purple coins in
Space Junk. Here is a tip, DON'T run around and get random grouped coins.
Here is what you do.
--7-- --8-- --9-- --10--
--6-- --5-- --4--
--2--  --3--
--1--
____
/ X  \
\____/
Get them in that order. It makes everything easier. X marks where you star and
where the star is. Hope this helps!
> PULL STAR PATH SPEED RUN < (C)
You get 4:00 to do the same route as the pull star path mission. Advice here
are ignoring starbits. You should be at the end with roughly about 45 seconds,
so... Good luck!
There is Space Junk complete. Now off to Battlerock
> >>>>>>>BATTLEROCK GALAXYBEWARE OF BOULDERGEIST <
HAH! NOW YOU ARE SCARED!! BEWARE OF BOULDERGEIST!! What, your don't care? Party
pooper..
Green mushroom again. You know what to do.. At the next newly rock structure,
make you way past the bridge and into the mansion again, mwahahahahha!
Here, spin attack the bomb boos and hit it against the Bowser statue in the
fireplace. Launch off here.
This planet looks like a pinball planet, heehee. Kill the last spider and get
onto the sling pod. Shoot yourself to the next couple all the way to the sling
star then quickly launch off to another pinball like planet.
Here do the same thing except collecting the star chips. Pull yourself to the
launch star to a bouncy ball planet. BOUNCE! BOUNCE!! Ground pound for a higher
bounce :D Now get the extra life and shoot off from the launch star. Nothing
too hard here was it?
The boss planet, buy an red mushroom, you will be needing it for this battle.
Go to the front and battle Bouldergeist. His attacks are slow, the tip here
is too keep running around and find a black meteorite. When it shoots to the
ground, it forms to a bomb boo, grab the boo and hit it at Bouldergeist. Rinse
and once again.. repeat..
Tis over? NOPE! Second form! This enhancement is with two hands. His weakness
is still the same but the hands get in the way most of the time. Hit him 4
times to finish Bouldergeist.
> MATTER SPLATTER MANSION < (H)
The level is good as the name sounds. Many people like this, especially there
is another one of these 'Matter Splatters.'
Choose the second mission, the spooky sprint one. Shoot off the green mushroom
and onto the rock planet. Remember where the rainbow star is? Above it is
something sparkling in the rock. Break it to reveal a launch star. Off to
Matter Splatter mansion!
There a spotlights here that move, catch up with it or else you fall. This is
not hard to find out where to go. It is pretty straight forward. Soon, you will
be going vertical, not horizontal. Same rules apply here so be quick. You will
find the last key and reveal the star.
> PURPLE COINS IN THE BONE PEN < (C)
This one is timed. Only 60 seconds to get 100/150 coins. This is hard for
beginners so it may take a few tries. The advice here, is to keep pulling,
don't stop pulling and you will get a lot of purple coins. Also get the red
mushroom on your way because you are rushing through pull stars. There are
aero mines so you may bang into them. Good luck!
> BOULDERGEIST'S DAREDEVIL RUN < (C)
Get ready for major kills. One of the hardest Daredevil runs in Super Mario
galaxy. The only tip here is what I said before. Keep running to avoid his
meteorite attacks. When he pulls spikes from the ground, you should see black
mist coming from the ground. That is the signal to stop and run the opposite
way. Don't expect to beat him on your first try...
When you have beaten this, give yourself a pat on the shoulder.
