Star 2: Kamella's Airship Attack

Did you find?

• 1-Up Mushroom on platform after first ship.
• Third ship: go down funnel or ground pound grille for hidden area.
• Life Mushroom in chest on third ship

Boss fight.

Star 3: Tarantox's Tangled Web

Did you find?

• Life Mushroom in crystal on rocket ship.
• During or after boss fight, you can find coins if you fire yourself into the rocky platforms.

For the time being, ignore the Hungry Luma you meet on this level.

Boss fight. Jump into a 'sling pod' (a sticky part of the web), pull yourself back using the pointer, and launch yourself at the Tarantox's backside. Tarantox will turn upside down, and you should then launch yourself at the three weak points on its underbelly. Repeat.

Star 4 (Speedy Comet): Pull Star Path Speed Run

Available when a Prankster Comet is in this Galaxy. Do the same as for Star 1, only within a 4 minute time limit. There are more coins to collect on this level than during Star 1. The time limit shouldn't be a problem on this level, but be careful not to die, as there are no mid-level checkpoints.

Star 5 (Purple Comet): Purple Coin Spacewalk

Available when a Purple Comet is in this Galaxy. Collect 100 Purple Coins within a 2 minute time limit.

Star 6 (Hidden): Yoshi's Unexpected Appearance

Enter Star 3. Proceed through the level as for Star 3. When you meet the Hungry Luma, feed it 50 Star Bits to create a new planet in the shape of Yoshi's head. Default all the Goombas on this planet to gain the Star.
