Here, the player will land on the base of an enormous tree. 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 [[Spangler]]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 Spanglers. The player will need to use the [[Vine]]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.

This planet is a large log, and is the next site for the player to arrive from the Starting 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. Fortunately, this planet has an up and down rotational gravity field, so Mario cannot fall off this planet.

This planet 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 Log 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 Start Planet====
The planet is a long and hollow trunk. The player will land on an area with many Whittles. They will then have to take the slide. [[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. There are also many [[Balloon (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|Balloons]] scattered throughout the slide. 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 Ending Planet, and be rewarded with a [[Power Star]], depending on the mission's requirements.

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 prickly plants appear to hinder the player and Spoings 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.

Planets[edit]

Big Tree Planet[edit]

Mario approaching the Big Tree Planet.

The Big Tree Planet[1] is the starting planet in the galaxy. Here, the player will land on the base of an enormous tree. During the The Flotacious Blimp Fruit mission, Yoshi can be found on the bottom of the planet as well as numerous Crystals with Star Bits and coins. Spoings and Spanglers 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 Spanglers. The player will need to use the Vines 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.

Wood Drum Planet[edit]

Mario nearing the Wood Drum Planet.

The Wood Drum Planet[1] 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 Chips and create another Launch Star. A Checkpoint Flag, a Comet Medal and some Blimp Fruit are also found on the planet. Prickly plants 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.

Wood Circle Cut Planet[edit]

Mario quite a distance away from the Wood Circle Cut Planet.

The Wood Circle Cut Planet[1] is a huge section of a trunk with a passage in it where the player arrives. Here, the heroes find another Midway Flag, Star Bits 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 Paragoombas and prickly plants.

Whittle, Tall Trunk Galaxy

Tube Slider Start Planet[edit]

The Tube Slider Start Planet[1] is a grassy platform on top of a large tree, connected to a giant, half-hollowed log where three Whittles and the access to the Tube Slider Course are found.

Tube Slider Course[edit]

The Tube Slider Course[1] is a long, winding hollow trunk. Wigglers and prickly plants can be found here. There are a few Spinies in the beginning and many gaps in the slide, as well as many 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.

Tube Slider Goal Planet[edit]

The Tube Slider Goal Planet[1] is found directly at the end of the Tube Slider Course Planet, and has nothing more than three Whittles and a few giant trees. When Mario lands here, a Whittle (or a Gearmo, during the purple coin mission) will reward him with the Power Star for that mission. This planet also appears in the credits, and once one has gained 120 Power Stars or more, a Bee Mushroom will appear on it too, alongside four Whittles.

Enemies[edit]
