Learn how to get the 'The Golden Chomp' hidden star in Super Mario Galaxy's Gusty Garden Galaxy by collecting Golden ? Coins and defeating the Golden Chomp.

Alright, let's go grab that tricky 'The Golden Chomp' hidden star in Gusty Garden Galaxy! This one's a bit different because you need to collect some special coins first to even get a shot at it. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Collect the Golden ? Coins: To even get to the Golden Chomp, you first need to collect five Golden ? Coins. These coins spawn one after another, so you have to grab them in order. Once you get all five, you'll get a Rainbow Star power-up.
  2. 2
    First Three Coins: The first three Golden ? Coins are out in the sky while you're riding on a Floaty Fluff. You'll need to keep your height up and time your boosts carefully to snag all three.
  3. 3
    Fourth Coin: After the Floaty Fluffs, you'll land on a planet with a Piranha Plant. Defeat it, and a Sproutle Vine will appear. The fourth Golden ? Coin is waiting for you there.
  4. 4
    Fifth Coin: Continue to the next planet. On the upside-down part of this planet, you'll find the final Golden ? Coin. Grab it, then defeat the Piranha Plant that appears. This will spawn another Sproutle Vine.
  5. 5
    Get the Rainbow Star: At the end of that last Sproutle Vine, you'll find a Rainbow Star power-up and a Launch Star. Grab the Rainbow Star immediately!
  6. 6
    Destroy the Golden Chomp: Now, quickly use the Launch Star to get to the new planet. As soon as you land, run straight for the Golden Chomp. You'll need to dash through the Boulders and spiny flowers to reach it. Remember, the Rainbow Star power-up is timed, so don't waste any seconds! Run straight into the Golden Chomp while powered up.
  7. 7
    Claim Your Star: Once you hit the Golden Chomp, it will drop a Power Star for you. Congratulations, you've got the hidden star!
Tips
  • Timing your boosts on the Floaty Fluffs is key for the first three coins. Don't be afraid to try a few times to get the hang of it.
  • When you're going for the Golden Chomp, just keep running forward. Don't stop to fight anything or get distracted by the obstacles; your goal is to hit the Chomp before the Rainbow Star wears off.
