This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed soon.
Template:Galaxybox Starshine Beach Galaxy is a galaxy located in World 4 of the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. The galaxy is beach-themed and has some elements from the game Super Mario Sunshine including Piantas that can hurl the player to other parts of the galaxy and the iconic Pianta statue in Delfino Plaza, the tower from Gelato Beach, and the underwater palace in Noki Bay. Yoshi is found on this galaxy. Crabs and Lakitus are common enemies. Dash Peppers and Blimp Fruits are also found in this galaxy.
Planets
Starting Planet
The starting planet takes place in a small tower surrounded by water. There is a Launch Star under there that will take Mario down to the Starshine Beach Planet.
Starshine Beach Planet
A very big planet inhabited by Piantas. Crabs and a Lakitu can be found in the surface. Underwater, there are Cheep Cheeps, Bloopers, clams and Gringills. There is a tower on the west side of the planet. On top of it are some trees. To the right of the starting point is a hill with a small hut-like structure. In the center of the planet is a Pianta fountain, and on the east side is a big underwater section with a bottle-like floating platform and a big underwater structure.
Bonus Planet
This bonus planet is inhabited by Crabbers, and if Mario defeats them all within the time limit, he'll get three 1-Up Mushrooms.
Missions
Surf, Sand, and Silver Stars
Mario will land on the Starting Planet. He should then take the Launch Star to travel to the Starshine Beach planet. Here, he will need to collect the five Silver Stars, with the help of Yoshi. The first star is located in a structure near the beginning of the planet that can only be broken open by a Spiny that was spit out by Yoshi. The second star is found on an odd platform that has a trampoline on the top and can be rolled around in the water. Mario must position the trampoline below the star, then jump to grab it. The third star is found on the top of the giant Pianta statue. Yoshi must use the Flower Grapples to get to the top, then flutter jump to reach the star. The fourth star is located at the surface of the water next to the half hidden tower. It is easier to get this star using Dash Yoshi. The fifth and final Silver Star is found at the top of the large tower surrounded by Cheep-Cheeps. Blimp Yoshi is needed. After all five Silver stars are collected, they will transform into a Power Star.

Green Star 3
The player will have to activate the Ground Pound Switch and use the Cloud Flower as well as the Leaf Raft, and go to the floating trampoline (which the trampoline should be facing upwards, where the Green Star's shadow should be in the small space) and then back-flip and spin.
