The clouds in the background are notably darker than the original Whomp's Fortress, and [[black hole]]s were added below the course. New enemies have been added, such as [[Paragoomba]]s, [[Skeeter]]s and a [[Wiggler]]. Other enemies seen first in the original game also return, like [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Whomp]]s, and [[Bomp]]s. Some [[Bob-omb Buddy|Bob-omb Buddies]] also appear in the galaxy, and even mention that [[Mario]] seems familiar, a reference to his earlier visit to Whomp's Fortress in ''Super Mario 64'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. A [[Whomp]] is found at the top of the fortress, and defeating it will open an area where the [[Whomp King]] is found. A [[Comet Medal]], [[note]]s (released from breaking a crate, playing the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' underground theme) and a bonus planet featuring Piranha Plants can be found in the stage too. Several [[Cloud Flower]]s also appear in the galaxy's second mission.

===Whomp's Fortress (Starting Planet)===
===Whomp's Fortress (Starting Planet)===
A planet almost identical to [[Whomp's Fortress]] in ''Super Mario 64''. However, the floating islands that contained [[Red Coin]]s and the area where the [[Star Switch]] mission is done in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' are no longer found. The cannon used to destroy two walls in a mission in the previous games is replaced with a Sling Star, along with the points in the walls already being destroyed. There are a lot of enemies, such as Thwomps and Piranha Plants, on this planet, and at the top, Mario can defeat a Whomp to access a vertical tunnel which will take him to the underside of the planet where the [[Whomp King]] is fought.

The next Green Star has the player redo Return of the Whomp King, like the first Green Star. It is located on top of the fortress, Mario/Luigi need to get on top of the [[Whomp]], ride it to the Star, and then perform a [[Backwards Somersault]] to reach it.

This Green Star has the player redo [[Silver Stars in the Whomp Fortress]]. It is found far out in the skies of the fortress, near the clouds with [[coin]]s and a [[Silver Star]]. Mario/Luigi must use [[Cloud Mario|his]] clouds to jump out from the cloud with the Silver Star to reach it.
