'''Tall Trunk Galaxy''' is one of the many galaxies in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The level takes place in a peaceful forest with a huge tree. The tree has many branches which can be climbed to reach the top. This galaxy introduces the [[Blimp Fruit]]. Many [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s appear to hinder the player and [[Spoing]]s are common enemies here. The [[Whittle]] species resides here. The music that plays in the slide segments is an arrangement of "[[Slider]]" from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

During the [[The Flotacious Blimp Fruit]] mission, [[Yoshi]] can be found on the bottom of the planet as well as numerous [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s with [[Star Bit]]s and [[coin]]s. [[Spoing]]s and [[Sprangler]]s appear on the tree during the said mission and only a single [[Whittle]] appears. The use of [[Blimp Yoshi]] is required to reach the [[Launch Star]]. During the [[Tall Trunk's Big Slide]] mission, Yoshi is not found nor Spoings and Spranglers. The player will need to use the [[Flower (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|flower]]s to get to the top of the tree and to the Launch Star. A significant amount of Whittles can be found here during the said mission. It is possible to climb up the big tree without Yoshi by using different jumps, wall jumps, and spins.

The Wood Drum Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref> is a large log, and is the next site for the player to arrive from the Big Tree Planet during [[The Flotacious Blimp Fruit]] mission. Here, the player and Yoshi will move around the planet in side-scrolling effect to collect five yellow [[Star Chip]]s and create another [[Launch Star]]. A [[Checkpoint Flag]], a [[Comet Medal]] and some [[Blimp Fruit]] are also found on the planet. [[Thorny flower]]s can prove to be a nuisance when collecting the Star Chips. This planet has an up and down rotational gravity field, so Mario cannot fall off this planet.

The Wood Circle Cut Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref> is a huge section of a trunk with a passage in it where the player arrives. Here, the heroes find another Midway Flag, [[Star Bit]]s and Blimp Berries. Just as in the Wood Drum Planet, the exploration in this planet is in a side-scrolling manner. In [[The Flotacious Blimp Fruit]] mission, there is a [[Power Star]] that Mario must get by going up in the passage with the help of Yoshi eating the Blimp Fruits, while evading some obstacles such as the [[Paragoomba]]s and thorny flowers.

====Tube Slider Course====
====Tube Slider Course====
The Tube Slider Course<ref name=Noclip></ref> is a long, winding hollow trunk. [[Wiggler]]s and [[thorny flower]]s can be found here. There are a few [[Spiny|Spinies]] in the beginning and many gaps in the slide, as well as many [[Balloon (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|Balloons]] scattered throughout. This planet is first visited in the galaxy's second mission, [[Tall Trunk's Big Slide]]. At the end of the slide, the player will land on the Tube Slider Goal Planet, and be rewarded with a [[Power Star]], depending on the mission's requirements.

The player will redo [[The Flotacious Blimp Fruit]] mission. However, instead of going for the [[Launch Star]], the player should make their way to the area with the [[Life Shroom]]. Directly above it is the [[Green Star]], which can be easily be obtained by the use of Yoshi.

The player will redo the [[The Flotacious Blimp Fruit]] mission again. This time, they should make their way over to the [[#Wood Drum Planet|Wood Drum Planet]]. To get to the Green Star, the player will simply need to fall down the area they are standing on until they see the star in the upper left-hand corner of the log. The player will need to use [[Yoshi]]'s [[Flutter Jump]] though.

The player will redo the [[Tall Trunk's Big Slide]] mission. They will need to take the slide in order to reach the star, located near the end. When the player gets close to the area with the angry [[Wiggler]]s, they must go upside-down on the slide and jump to the Green Star.
