Yoshi Star Galaxy: Difference between revisions

'''Yoshi Star Galaxy''' is one of the many [[Galaxy|galaxies]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. This is the first galaxy in which [[Yoshi]] is found; [[Mario]] must defeat a [[Magikoopa]] to break the barrier surrounding the egg before he can break the [[Yoshi Egg]], however. The galaxy itself consists of lush meadows, with many flowers, grassy paths and an active volcano.

 

The player will land at the beginning of a path. The pathway ahead of the start goes uphill and is filled with many [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Octoomba]]s, and [[thorny flower]]s. Ahead after the pathway, there is a force field around a [[Yoshi Egg]] on a nest guarded by a [[Magikoopa]]. After it is defeated, the force field disappears and the Yoshi Egg can be cracked open to release [[Yoshi]]. Just up ahead of the egg's nest are some [[Berry|Berries]] and enemies that Yoshi can eat for [[Star Bit]]s. To the left of the berries is a small hill with a [[Comet Medal]] on top. There is a small waterfall with a rushing current nearby as well. To the right are several terraces of land which contain [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s and [[Flipbug]]s. There is also a huge volcano, where the [[Launch Star]] appears after Yoshi eats the giant golden berry. When blasting off from the Starting Planet, the volcano will erupt similarly to the volcano in [[Melty Molten Galaxy]] from the first game, except that this volcano has smoke. In the second mission, the majority of this area is infested with [[Lakitu]]s and [[Spiny|Spinies]].

After using the [[Launch Star]] from the first planet, Mario and Yoshi land on a tiny planet, where they can pass by a [[Checkpoint Flag]]. It has [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s, insects, and a [[Chance Cube]]. One of the Crystals reveals a [[Launch Star]], which Mario must take to travel to the next planet.

On this planet, the player and Yoshi must climb the tall tower to reach the Launch Star. There are [[Piranha Plant]]s and [[thorny flower]]s which cover up most of the pathways, but can be eaten by Yoshi. At the top, there are [[Octoomba]]s and a [[Flower (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|flower]]. Using his tongue, Yoshi can swing up to a tiny wooden orb (using the flower) with the Launch Star. This planet is almost physically identical to the [[Good Egg Galaxy#Tower Planet|Tower Planet]] in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] in the [[Super Mario Galaxy|first game]], except for a bone-like platform at the bottom and a few blue springboards. This planet is also one of three planets that appears on the cover of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

 

After using the Launch Star from the Yoshi Tower Planet, the player and Yoshi will arrive on this large planet. The player will find a [[Checkpoint Flag]] shortly after landing. This planet is infested with [[Sprangler]]s and [[Paragoomba]]s. The player and Yoshi can navigate through the planet by jumping between the blocks, using the flowers, pulling moveable blocks, and using the moving platforms. By using the flowers, the player and Yoshi can reach the top area where the Power Star is trapped in an [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]].

During the second mission, the player and Yoshi will land on this planet after using the [[Launch Star]] from the main planet. Here, they can pass a Checkpoint Flag. Enemies here include a [[Lakitu]] and several [[Spiny|Spinies]] which the Lakitu spawns. There are also three cages, two of them containing [[Star Bit]]s, and the other containing a [[Luma]] which will transform into a Launch Star once it is set free. The cages can only be broken by having Yoshi eat and spit out a [[Spiny]] towards one of the cages.

During the second mission, [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] can land on this planet if the player activates the [[Launch Star]] in midair while flying from the Spiny Shooting Planet. This area has a set of small, flat planetoids that are orbiting around a slightly larger spherical planet. These platforms contain a [[1-Up Mushroom]], a [[Life Mushroom]], a few [[Coin]]s and some [[Berry|Berries]]. Mario and Yoshi can use the Launch Star on the planetoid located at the top to blast off to the next planet.

 

During the second mission, the player will land on this planet where they must use [[Yoshi]]'s tongue to pull out platforms to climb up. The player must also have Yoshi eat a [[Spiny]] and spit it out toward a cage with [[Launch Star]] inside to blast off to the final planet. Enemies here include a Lakitu and Spinies. There are also [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s containing [[Star Bit]]s and a coin and the platforms that Yoshi can pull out contain a [[1-Up Mushroom]], [[Coin]]s, and [[Star Bit]]s. There is also another 1-Up Mushroom on top of the planet, to get it the player should jump on the cage with Yoshi then flutter jump up to get it.

===King Lakitu Planet===

This is the final planet during the second mission. The player and [[Yoshi]] will land on this area after blasting off from the Marble Block Planet. Here, they can pass a [[Checkpoint Flag]]. Using Yoshi's tongue, they can swing up to the top area where [[King Lakitu]] is fought. There are two [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s on this planet, each with a [[Coin]] inside of them. Should the player use the [[List of Super Mario Galaxy 2 glitches#Yoshi's infinite Flutter Jump|infinite Flutter Jump glitch]] towards the dark clouds in the background mid-battle, they would get electrocuted and fall into the [[Pit|abyss]]. Trying to infinite flutter away from the planet during a battle with King Lakitu results in the player losing a life.

During the [[Saddle Up with Yoshi]] mission, the player must obtain Yoshi and head to the area with the large, golden berry. To the right of this object will be an indent in the mountain with the Green Star in plain sight. The player will need to simply [[Flutter Jump]] to the star to get it.

During the [[Saddle Up with Yoshi]] mission, the player should make their way to the top of the [[#Fossil Planet|Fossil Planet]]. They should use the [[Flower (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|flower]]s at the top to move their way left where the Green Star is located. A timed backflip or using the infinite flutter glitch is needed to reach the star.

*''"The Yoshi Star Galaxy is where [[Mario]] first meets [[Yoshi]] on his travels across the cosmos. With this [[Yoshi|faithful buddy]] at Mario's side, [[Bowser]] doesn't stand a chance. [[Yoshi]] loves to nosh on berries, baddies, and power-ups, so indulge [[Yoshi]]'s rumbly tummy and reap the benefits."''

*If the player plays as Luigi, it is possible to get through the whole galaxy without Yoshi using precise jumping, with the exception of the Golden Berry, which the player cannot get rid of without Yoshi.
