Super Mario Galaxy/Sea Slide Galaxy
Sea Slide Galaxy is accessible in the Engine Room with 36 Stars.
Star 1: Going after Guppy[edit]
Swim up to Guppy and talk to him. Follow him and go through eight rings that he makes. Collect a shell on the way to make it easier. Once you have gone through all the rings, collect the Star he releases.
Star 2: Faster Than a Speeding Penguin[edit]
At the underwater cavern with the giant eels, you have the option of taking the left-side or right-side path. Take the cavern on the right. Despite the fact that the left one has an accelerator circle, it is much easier to win by swimming through the shorter tunnel on the right. Note that if you pre-swim the course, you can kill the eel in the left cavern tunnel (with a shell) for a 1-up mushroom. The right-side eel will give you star bits if killed.
Star 3: The Silver Stars of Sea Slide[edit]
For the time being, ignore the Hungry Luma you meet on this level.
You need to find the five Silver Stars. First, swim to the island in front of you. Get the Bee Mushroom, then fly up the tree, onto the cloud, then onto the rock for the first one. Next, go into the cannon and launch to the Starshroom. Use the Pull Stars to get another one, and take the Sling Star back. Next, swim to the island with the lighthouse, get the Bee Mushroom, and use the blocks to fly up the tree. The third Silver Star is above the tree, so fly up to get it. Go back to the island where you started, get the Bee Mushroom if you don't have it anymore. Fly to the big tree, using the rock along the way to recharge your fly meter. Go up the tree, using the clouds along the way to help you. A silver star is at the top. For the last one, swim to the structure where Guppy is and spin the green valve. A jet of water appears; step in it to go to the island in the middle. Get the ? coin for notes if you want. The last star is at the top where Penguru (the old penguin) is. Take the launch star back to where you started. The Power Star appears there.
Star 4 (Cosmic Comet): Underwater Cosmic Mario Race[edit]
Grab a red shell. Use three rings to boost your speed. Jump out of the water and find the Star behind a building. You might want to throw away the shell (by spinning) to allow a long jump once on dry land.
Star 5 (Purple Comet): Purple Coins by the Seaside[edit]
100 coins, no time limit. All up high (Bee Mario - use short bursts rather than continuously holding down A to get from cloud to cloud) or on ground - none in water.
Star 6 (Hidden): Hurry, He's Hungry[edit]
Enter Star 3. Proceed through the level as for Star 3. When you reach the hungry luma, feed it star bits and it will turn into a cannon. Use it to shoot to the galaxy with the green platforms. Collect all the notes and the star will appear.
