Part 20

At the moving platforms, get the Cloud Flower and drop below the 2nd platform to collect a star (1). Use a cloud to save yourself.

Wait until it is clear to reach the upper side. Pass the Thwomp and stand atop the crates, then long jump towards the stationary clouds with a star (2) and a Cloud Flower to refresh.

Long jump further back to the main area and around to two crates that reveal a Sling Star.

Backflip in that area and use 1-2 clouds to reach a row of clouds.

Long jump to a star (3) in between two rows of clouds.

Head to the top of the fortress around the left side with the Piranha and rotating platforms to refresh your clouds on top and backflip.

Use about 2 clouds to reach the last star (4) atop the Bowser image on the ground. The star will appear here.

Head to Battle Belt Galaxy and start Mini-Planet Mega-Run. Defeat the Goomba to start and use the Sling Star.

Spin at the fiery rocks and long jump over a lava hole in the lower right side, then take the new Sling Star.

Use the Fire Flower to destroy the 3 spiked balls, then use the Sling Star and fire at the crabs.

Find a 1-Up on the sandy planet and use the Sling Star to reach the Starshroom ship.

Hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag (checkpoint) on the bottom and use the Sling Star.

Spin at the pumpkin Goombas, then stomp/spin each one to get a key that frees a pipe on top.

Use the pipe and swim down to the Koopa shell at the bottom. The light coming from it will defeat each Boo, so just aim at each one.

Use the Sling Star to return back, and then use the Sling Star at the bottom.

Use the Luma Shop if you want at the bottom side, then use the 2nd Checkpoint Flag and the Sling Star on top.

On the icy planet, spin into the icy rocks, then use the Sling Star.

Pound the ground near the Monty Moles, then stomp/spin each one.

Use the key to reach the pipe. Defeat the 3 enemies when their spikes are facing down. One is safe to stomp in blue/down gravity and two in red/up gravity.

Once finished, wait for red/up gravity to reach the pipe, then use the Sling Star on the opposite side.

Spin at the green bulbs to knock out each Silver Chomp and use the key to release the Star.

To get Secret Star #1- Snacktime For Gobblegut, re-enter Mini-Planet Mega-Run and collect at least 20 coins from the enemies and a few lying around.

On the icy planet just after the 2nd Checkpoint Flag, feed the Hungry Luma at left 30 coins to use its Launch Star. You'll reach a new version of the miniboss Gobblegut.

Use the same strategies to fight it as earlier, but this time, you can't touch an inch of the dragon as it's entirely on fire. Watch out for the lava pools that appear on the planet after the 2nd phase. You win the Star for defeating it.

Head to Bowser's Galaxy Generator and start Bowser's Fortified Fortress. Head to the far left to the pole and climb it for a Life Mushroom at the top.

Backtrack a bit and head up, timing your jumps between the fireballs and rotating firebars.

Use the Luma's Launch Star, then defeat the 3 Hammer Brothers.

Spin at the Floaty Fluff ahead and ride a seedling over the lava, avoiding the fireballs being shot out. Spin to gain altitude (a max. of 3 times).

Drop at the end to the platform and grab the Spin Drill, then drill in the soil patch.

Head up and hit the Checkpoint Flag.

Wait for the Banzai Bill to pass, then duck to the left to avoid it. Head up and quickly drill before it returns, then head right, avoiding the next one and stand in the left corner of the fence.

Duck left to avoid the next one, then on the right side. Drill there to get a 1-Up, then return and drill at the spot in front of the chute.

Use the Launch Star to continue.

Hit the 2nd Checkpoint Flag and wait for the moving platform to arise from the lava.

Jump right between the fireballs to reach the Cloud Flower.

Drop at the right to get the Life Mushroom and use a cloud to save yourself. Refresh, then backflip and use clouds, avoiding the Bullet Bills.

Refresh, then get the ? coin, dropping into a row of coins and then use a cloud to ride the vent's wind right.

Refresh again and head up more, refreshing again between the Bullet Bills.

Backflip and use a cloud all the way, then refresh again and head up left to the Luma.

Use its Launch Star to move on.

Hit the 3rd Checkpoint Flag and head up the bridge, defeating the Magikoopa.

Head right on the tipsy platform and get Yoshi.

Backtrack left and use the swinging flowers.

Head left, swinging quickly over the lava where plumes emerge.

The 1-Up in back is probably not worth it, but if you defeat the Hammer Bro and swing left to it, it's yours.

Head left and defeat the 2 Boomerang Bros. to open the doors ahead.

If you lose Yoshi, get it again at left in the nest.

Use the Dash Pepper and head right, then left, avoiding the towers, then straight, slightly left, and back into the middle.

Use the Sling Star, then ride the purple platform ahead getting the Life Mushroom, then head right over the lava and firebars.

Jump/float left, then back right to avoid the lava monsters.

Swing on the flowers to get the Comet Medal, then jump/float back onto the purple platform.

Wait for the lava monster to appear, then use the blimp fruit to float around it and get back on the purple platform.

Ride straight up to the last Checkpoint Flag.

Dismount Yoshi (if you still have him) and climb the pole up. A Life Mushroom sits at left if you need to refresh (it will be a 1-Up if you have a 6).

Pound the golden ball 3x to break the stone locks and be pulled through the door to the Bowser fight.
