Master the Pull Star Path in Super Mario Galaxy! This guide covers collecting Star Chips, freeing Toads, and grabbing Silver Stars to get the Power Star.

Alright, let's tackle the Pull Star Path in Space Junk Galaxy! This is actually the very first galaxy you'll unlock in the Fountain dome, which becomes available once you snag the Grand Star from the Terrace dome. Don't worry, it's a pretty straightforward one to get us started.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll kick things off on a platform. Look ahead, and you'll spot a cool prism-shaped glass planet. Before you jump over, take a moment to walk around the underside of your starting platform – there are Star Bits hiding there, easy pickings!
  2. 2
    To reach that prism planet, you'll need to use the Pull Star. If you're playing in handheld mode, just tap it. If you're using a controller, aim your cursor at the Pull Star and press the A button. Once you're attached, give a spin attack, and it'll launch you right over to the planet.
  3. 3
    Once you've landed on the prism planet, you'll see a trail of more Pull Stars ahead. Follow this trail carefully! It's super important not to drift off into space, so keep your jumps precise.
  4. 4
    This trail will lead you to three spherical glass planets. After you've pulled yourself across the void, you'll find yourself here.
  5. 5
    Now, the mission is to collect five Star Chips scattered across these three planets. You need all five to activate the Launch Star. Keep an eye out for the Big Amps roaming around; they can be a bit of a nuisance while you're searching. The Star Pieces themselves are pretty easy to spot once you're looking.
  6. 6
    After grabbing all the Star Chips, you'll land on a rocket-shaped planet. Here, you can grab some more Star Bits and Coins. Keep moving, and you'll encounter more Blue Star planets that you need to pull yourself towards, followed by even more Pull Stars to navigate around asteroids.
  7. 7
    Next up is a T-shaped planet that looks a bit like a tower. This is where you'll meet the Spoings. Don't worry too much about them; they don't chase you and just jump around. You can either use your spin attack to deal with them or just carefully maneuver around them.
  8. 8
    Keep following the path, and you'll arrive at a platform with several Toads encased in crystal. Free them using your spin attack! Once they're all freed, a Starshroom will appear. It has a Sling Star on top that will zip you over to the Assembly Block Area.
  9. 9
    As soon as you step off the platform in the Assembly Block Area, the surrounding blocks will start moving, forming a path for you. There are five Silver Stars hidden in this area, and you absolutely need to collect all of them for the Power Star to show up.
  10. 10
    Once you've collected all five Silver Stars, the Power Star will materialize back on the platform where you first entered the Assembly Block Area. Just head back there, and claim your prize!
Tips
  • Don't forget to check the underside of your starting platform for some easy Star Bits!
  • Be extra careful when using the Pull Stars to cross gaps; drifting off means starting that section over.
  • The Big Amps on the glass planets can be tricky, so try to avoid them while you're hunting for Star Chips.
  • The Spoings on the T-shaped planet are harmless unless you get too close, so a quick spin attack or just running past them is the way to go.

Collecting all five Silver Stars in the Assembly Block Area will make the Power Star appear, allowing you to complete the Pull Star Path mission.
