Matching Missions in "Super Mario Galaxy" Quiz

Answer: Sweet Sweet Galaxy

If you feed the Hungry Luma waiting outside the Terrace Dome the hefty toll of 400 Star Bits, it'll shoot into the cosmos and create the Sweet Sweet Galaxy, home to a single complicated obstacle course in which Mario has to leap across moving platforms and holes to reach a sweet surprise at the end.

The Mission, Rocky Road, is unsurprisingly sweet-themed, but the task of crossing the cut-outs is anything but sweet for a less-than-agile player.

Answer: Deep Dark Galaxy

By sinking to the bottom of the underground lake and blowing up the explosives there with a Green Shell, Mario will be able to shoot himself to a contained box of a planet that will be nearly empty save for a rolling mine and a Boo. The Power Star here, a hidden one, is within the Boo, but getting it out means playing with the gravity settings enough to get it into the only ray of light that might be able to crack in. Getting this done and resetting the box will get him the Power Star.

Answer: Toy Time Galaxy

A stage reminiscent of the 'secret' levels of "Super Mario Sunshine" this Mission has Mario shot off into a distant planet that appears as a flat plane in the image of his 8-bit classic self. The difference is that the colours of his image are made from flipping yellow platforms, shrinking green platforms, and red lava. You need to collect five Silver Stars and return to the starting point to get your Power Star when it's all said and done, so make sure you leave a path for yourself.

Answer: Gusty Garden Galaxy

A secret Power Star hidden away in the Gusty Garden Galaxy (in the Bedroom Dome), The Golden Chomp can only be obtained if Mario makes his way through the third Mission, Gusty Garden's Gravity Scramble, and pays close attention to what he collects. In the early part of the Mission, there is a series of large gold coins he can collect, and if he gets them all, the Golden Chomp will be found on a later planet. Running into the Chomp while invincible will net a hidden Star.

Answer: Bubble Blast Galaxy

There are only three Galaxies on the Planet of Trials and each of them features a particularly difficult series of courses that Mario will need to beat to the best of his abilities. The Loopdeeswoop Galaxy involves another Manta Ray course, the Rolling Gizmo Galaxy brings him to a new rolling ball challenge, and the Bubble Blast Galaxy puts him into a handful of deadly mazes, all of which need to be navigated with the motion control bubble blowing technique.

These stages are only accessible if Mario gets all three Green Power Stars.

Answer: Gold Leaf Galaxy

The Gold Leaf Galaxy looks a lot like the Honeyhive Galaxy, and that's because they're almost mirror images of one another. When visiting this Galaxy you should know your way around, at least on the main planet, and that's why the third Mission, When It Rains, It Pours, should lead you right where you need to be. Once you find a Bee Mushroom you can flutter up along all the rainclouds, following the path provided to the uppermost platforms.

At the top of a tower, an Undergrunt Gunner manning a water bazooka will be the only thing between you and a Power Star.

Answer: Flipswitch Galaxy

One of the earlier Mystery Galaxies Mario can unlock, the Flipswitch Galaxy appears in the Terrace Dome when he's collected a total of seven Power Stars. The premise of this Mission is simple: Mario will land on a three-sided planet of flat panels, all of which will default to blue faces. Walking on them turns them yellow (and then blue again if he walks back on them). All he needs to do is make sure all panels go yellow to shut off the obstacles and claim the Power Star waiting at the end.

Answer: Ghostly Galaxy

The Purple Coin challenges only start appearing when the purple Prankster Comet comes into orbit around a planet, and these only start appearing when the game's final Galaxy, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, is beaten, so Purple Coins in the Bone Pen is likely to be the last Mission you'll encounter in Ghostly Galaxy, one of the locations in the Kitchen Dome.

In these types of Missions you need to collect one hundred Purple Coins, and in this case, it's in the Pull Star racecourse earlier seen in A Very Spooky Sprint.

Answer: Good Egg Galaxy

Although Mario will get the hang of things by meeting with Dino Piranha in his first boss battle for Good Egg Galaxy's first Mission, A Snack of Cosmic Proportions is the one to follow, and it's one that simply has Mario floating through the planets looking for a Power Star to construct at the end. To get there, however, he'll need to collect enough Star Bits to feed a hungry Luma.

The total needed is 100, and once that happens, a new planet will be revealed, giving him the necessary jumping point he needs to wrap up the Mission.

Answer: Space Junk Galaxy

Though Yoshi himself doesn't appear in this game as a playable character or helpful buddy (saving it for "Super Mario Galaxy 2"!), he does make a bit of a cameo in the Space Junk Galaxy where, if you head into the third Mission (Tarantox's Tangled Web), you'll meet a Hungry Luma looking for fifty Star Bits to quell its hunger.

This will create a new planet shaped like Yoshi's head, crawling with Goombas. If you defeat all the Goombas, you'll get a secret Power Star.
