Matching Missions in "Super Mario Galaxy 2" Quiz

Answer: Boulder Bowl Galaxy

A secret Mission for the Boulder Bowl Galaxy unlocked when Mario receives a specific letter from the Mail Toad, C'mere, Goomba has him responding to a call for help from the local Gearmos who, as it turns out, have a bit of an odd infestation on their hands.

There's a single Goomba hiding away on a planet there, and Mario needs to locate it, lure it out, and get it caught in the Gearmo's trap to get the Power Star as a reward, dodging Chomps along the way.

Answer: Honeybloom Galaxy

It's not a complete beginning, but it's definitely the start of keeping old habits. Bumble Beginnings will likely be the first Mission in the game where Mario returns to using the Bee Mushroom, allowing him to float around from platform to platform across the floral and cloud-based surfaces in the Honeybloom Galaxy.

This planet unlocks only if you pay the Hungry Luma on the world map. It'll eat seven hundred Star Bits to create the path.

Answer: Clockwork Ruins Galaxy

Is it much different from Mario's regular platforming adventures? Probably not, but this first Mission in the Clockwork Ruins Galaxy, found in World 6, has Mario navigating through an old ruin filled with massive millstones that threaten to squash him into a pancake.

There are a few elements to this Mission, each on different planets-- one that has him maneuvering in cylindrical, spinning obstacles, one which appears to be a multi-dimensional maze, and one which has him ascending a tower of deadly blocks.

Answer: Slimy Spring Galaxy

A late-game underwater Galaxy (at least for the most of it), the Slimy Spring Galaxy's main Mission has Mario holding on tightly to Green Shells as he careens through underwater caverns en route to safer and greener land. If he can maneuver all the way to the end and avoid running out of air or health, he'll find a chest he can break open to find... a Toad. That said, the Toad, who fell asleep inside after getting stuck, will hand over the Power Star. No harm, no foul.

Answer: Space Storm Galaxy

Although the Space Storm Galaxy's second Power Star will have Mario playing around with the speed of time, the area's first Mission, Follow Me, Bob-omb, leans more into Mario's awareness of his surroundings. Partway through this mission, Mario will land on a planet with a cylindrical, glass shell, and gazing inside he'll need to navigate a Bob-omb around, allowing it to chase him along a narrow path to a blocked entryway that will get him closer to the end of the level.

Answer: Boss Blitz Galaxy

In this gauntlet of a Mission, Mario needs to face off against five different bosses as featured, originally, in "Super Mario Galaxy", and while that does mean that their mechanics are a bit more on the basic side (nothin here is particularly new if you played the first game), it is still a bit of a trial to undergo. You start with Dino Piranha, then King Kaliente, then Major Burrows, then Bouldergeist, then Fiery Dino Piranha.

This Galaxy is found towards the end of World S, which should be indicative of its difficulty.

Answer: Fluffy Bluff Galaxy

A hidden Power Star in the Fluffy Bluff Galaxy, this Mission is one of the earliest in which you'll need to lean on the capabilities of a Hungry Luma to get what you want. Early in this Galaxy, you'll learn how to use the Cloud Flower upgrade to create a handful of platforms, and doing this will get you on top of the giant tree near the starting position.

Here, if you can afford to feed the Hungry Luma 100 coins, you can jet off to a new planet with this Power Star at the top.

Answer: Honeyhop Galaxy

The Honeyhop Galaxy is one of the lightest ones in the game in terms of Mission quantity since you'll probably only make a visit or two there, and only once early on. Found halfway through World 4, it could actually be missed since you can head to the Flipsville Galaxy instead. Honeyhop Galaxy's main Mission is The Sweetest Silver Stars, where Mario has to take the Bee Mushroom and ascend the waterfall-laden cliffs to collect five Silver Stars, one of which will be on the Queen Bee's back. You'll return to this Galaxy later when The Chimp sends a letter via Toad Mail.

Answer: Rightside Down Galaxy

Some of the more unique early Galaxies that Mario will encounter in the game will be ones like the Rightside Down Galaxy, whose sole purpose is to make use of an interesting game mechanic that may come back in a subsequent Mission as part of a bigger platforming puzzle.

The Breaking the Laws of Gravity Mission (one of two here) is specifically placed to teach Mario about the different gravity fields he can encounter, flipping him between several spaces that have him walking on floors, walls, and ceilings depending on visual cues.

Answer: Shiverburn Galaxy

It's a silly name, but it kind of gives everything you need to know about this Prankster Comet Mission in the Shiverburn Galaxy. Set almost entirely on a big sheet of ice, the goal here is to skate around on the slippery surface while maintaining your invincibility with Rainbow Stars while knocking out all the octopus foes present in the space. If you can beat them all in fifty seconds, the Power Star will materialize.
