Your guide to snagging the 'Choosing a Favourite Snack' Power Star in Super Mario Galaxy! Learn about power-up choices and navigating the barrel planet.
Alright, let's dive into the Sand Spiral Galaxy in Super Mario 3D All-Stars! This is the only Power Star in this galaxy, and it's all about feeding that hungry Luma. You'll need 1000 Star Bits for it. Just a heads-up, you need to have grabbed the 'Faster than a Speeding Penguin' and 'Luigi’s Haunted Mansion' Power Stars before this galaxy even shows up.
- 1You'll kick things off on what's left of an Airship. Keep an eye out for a Magikoopa right away – it'll start chucking fireballs and warping around. It's a good idea to take it out quickly, otherwise, it just adds more trouble later.
- 2Once you're past the airship, you'll find a Sling Star. This will launch you towards the entrance of a cool barrel-shaped planet.
- 3Right at the entrance, you've got a choice to make: the Boo Mushroom or the Bee Mushroom. Pick the one you feel most comfortable with, as they both have their own challenges.
- 4If you choose Boo Mario: You'll need to dodge a bunch of moving beams of light and watch out for Boos that are drawn to you.
- 5If you choose Bee Mario: You'll have limited flight. If you miss a platform, you'll fall into the sand below and lose a life. Luckily, there are poles and platforms scattered around to help you land. Watch out for the Water Shooters, as getting hit by them will make you lose your Bee Mario power-up! There are also two bats near the end, but they're pretty easy to avoid if you fly over them.
- 6After navigating the barrel planet, you'll reach another Sling Star. This one sends you to the next part of the level.
- 7You'll arrive in an area with a ring of platforms circling a moon that has the Power Star on top. On your starting platform, grab the Rainbow Star. This makes you invincible, letting you zoom through any mines in the area.
- 8Hop onto the spiraling platform and start moving along with it. You'll find more Rainbow Stars along the way to keep you invincible.
- 9As you get closer to the central moon, you should be able to make a jump and get pulled towards it by gravity.
- 10Once you land on the moon, just jump up to grab your Power Star! You can use your long jump to reach the moon a bit sooner.
- Don't forget to grab those Rainbow Stars on the spiraling platform – they're key to safely reaching the Power Star!
- Use your long jump when heading for the central moon to get there a bit faster.
