Alright, so you've found a Cosmic Comet in Honeyhive Galaxy, which means it's time for a rematch with our speedy pal, Cosmic Mario! This race is all about precise jumps, so let's get you across the finish line.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start the race, and Cosmic Mario will be right there. Your main goal is to keep pace and execute a few key moves.
  2. 2
    When you reach the waterfall, look for a small brown block. You'll need to jump onto it and then immediately perform a backflip (jump and then press jump again in mid-air) while facing away from the cliff. This will get you onto the ledge above.
  3. 3
    You'll encounter another similar platforming challenge. Do the same thing again: jump onto the small brown block and backflip away from the edge to reach the next platform. Don't worry too much if you mess up slightly, as Cosmic Mario can also stumble here, giving you a small buffer.
  4. 4
    Once you're on the higher platform, run towards the edge and jump into the hollow tree trunk. This leads to a familiar slide section you might remember from other parts of Honeyhive Galaxy.
  5. 5
    After the slide, you'll be on a big brown block. You need to jump from here to the higher platform. You have two options: either perform another backflip or use a triple jump. Choose whichever feels more comfortable!
  6. 6
    The final stretch involves jumping across a series of platforms to reach the Power Star. Be extra careful here to avoid the honey-covered patches on the ground, as they will significantly slow you down.
Tips
  • Mastering the backflip is key for those early ledges. Practice it a few times if you're struggling.
  • The slide section is pretty straightforward, just keep moving forward.
  • For the jump to the final set of platforms, the triple jump might give you a bit more airtime if you're worried about falling short.
  • Watch out for those sticky honey patches – they're the biggest obstacle on the final approach.
