Super Mario Galaxy/Honeyhive Galaxy

Honeyhive Galaxy is accessible from the Terrace observation dome. You need 3 Stars to enter.

This Galaxy is rather different from the Good Egg Galaxy, so much so that when you land you could almost forget you were in space. It consists of fewer, larger, planets, and the gravity is more traditional, for the most part.

There are many nooks and crannies to find in this galaxy, and from now of this guide won't point them all out to you. Feel free to explore.

Star 1: Bee Mario Takes Flight
Head along the path to the right and up the hill, past the rolling rocks. Touch the ? Coin in the fountain to make a new object appear below you. Collect this object, which is a Bee Mario suit. While Bee Mario you can fly up into the air by pressing and holding A, but don't get hit or touch water, or you will turn back into regular Mario, and will have to find the Bee Mario suit again.

Fly up near the waterfall, and up again into the large tunnel through the rock. At the far end of the tunnel is a tree stump with a hole in it, which you should enter. Slide down to the bottom, where you will reach a high wall. Fly up and make your way along the ledge. The honey on the ground will slow you down. At the end of the ledge, use the Launch Star to fly to the second planet, one which contains many pink flowers.

Here you need to use the flower stems (by spinning) to fly into the air and land on the pink flowers. Only Bee Mario can stand on the pink flowers, so if you lose the suit you will need to find it again. Fly from flower to flower until you reach the highest one, where a Launch Star will take you to the final planet.

To reach the top of this planet you will need to climb the wall. Luckily Bee Mario can stick to honey on vertical surfaces. Near the top, defeat the Piranha Plant to release a Sproutle, and use that to take you topside.

Meet the Queen Bee! She has a problem, with something tickling her. Fly to a furry part of her body, and collect the five pieces of a Launch Star. Once all have been collected, use the Launch Star to return to the first planet, on top of a tree. Talk to the toads there to find the first Star of this galaxy.

Star 2: Trouble on the Tower
Head along the path to the right, and Ground Pound the flat circular stones that you see. The second hides a Sproutle, which you should use to reach the left side of the planet. Go past the large tree and Ground Pound the jump pad to reach a small Launch Star above. Jump up by the Wiggler, and Ground Pound the red switch to reveal a walkway.

Past the walkway, use another switch to lower the platform. You will need to use Wall Jumps to reach the top. At the top, wall jump between the two vertical surfaces in the water to reach a Launch Star, which will take you to a new pair of small, wooden, mushroom-shaped planets.

Here, defeat or avoid the Piranha Plants and Wigglers, to reach a small Launch Star on the bottom of the lower planet. This will take you to another small planet, where you can use the ? Coin to find a Rainbow Mario suit, and use the to kill the Piranha Plants, if you wish. To proceed, dump down the hole in the tree stump to reach a new area on the first planet.

You need to climb the structure, defeating Mandibugs on the way. Ground Pound the red switch to star the windmill moving, and use a platform to reach the top. Ground Pound the two Mandibugs to find the Star.
