Scaling the Sticky Wall

Master the Sticky Wall challenge in Super Mario Galaxy! Learn how to use Bee Mario's flight, avoid hazards, and collect all the stars with our expert guide.

Alright, so you've made it to Honeyclimb Galaxy in Super Mario 3D All-Stars! This is the only level here, and you'll need 42 Stars to unlock it. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward once you know the drill.

Bee Mario is Back!

As soon as you land, you'll see a Bee Mushroom. Grab it! This turns you into Bee Mario, and he's essential for this level. To fly, just hold or tap the A/B button. Keep in mind, your flight power is limited, so you'll need to land on platforms or those sticky honeycomb hexes to recharge. Oh, and a crucial tip: Mario loses his Bee form if he touches water, so steer clear!

Sticky Wall - Part 1

The first part of the honeycomb wall is pretty chill – no enemies here! Just take your time flying from one hex to another. You'll spot a Golden ? Coin a few hexes up. Fly through it, and some moving honey hexes will pop up. Use these to keep climbing. Once you reach the top, hop into the Star Launcher to move on.

Sticky Wall - Part 2

This section is a bit more active. You'll be making your way from west to east across the honey hexes, but you've got falling boulders to dodge. If you need to speed things up, you can fly past them quickly. At the end of this path, you'll find another Star Launcher.

Sticky Wall - Part 3

Watch out on this last sticky wall! You'll encounter Mandibugs, and they're not afraid to charge. The easiest way to deal with them is to wait for them to charge at the hex in front of you, then quickly move past them as they reset. Alternatively, you can just fly past them quickly before they reach you. This part has a bunch of bugs, but just keep pushing upwards, and you'll reach the Power Star at the top!
