Super Mario Galaxy 2 Part 5 walkthrough covering the Spin Drill, Fluffy Bluff Galaxy, and Rightside Down Galaxy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the sandy patch, spin/drill and jump over the electric ball to reach a pipe. Drill with good timing to avoid electric balls below. Use the red pipe, spin at the crystal, and use the Launch Star.
  2. 2
    On the ship, hit the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag (a marker that saves your progress) and use the next Launch Star.
  3. 3
    Jump right and around the track to find the Spin Drill power-up.
  4. 4
    Use the Spin Drill to head up, drilling at the corner lip to find the first Silver Star.
  5. 5
    Head left for the second Silver Star, then drill to return.
  6. 6
    Head left again and drill on the corner lip to go diagonally left.
  7. 7
    Drill down on the right side to find the third Silver Star.

    Drill up the track around to a lone star, the fourth Silver Star.
  9. 9
    Drill right from there to find the fifth Silver Star.
  10. 10
    Drill back to the outside track, then head around to find your Power Star.
  11. 11
    At the ship, you will be taken to a museum where the Spin Drill is added to your inventory. It is stored in a cave just under the hat brim of the ship.
  12. 12
    The green Banktoad is near the World Map access pedal in the bottom left. Deposit Star Bits with him to reach a total of 9999 to access the comet star of the very last level of the game. Talk to Toad and press/hold A on Deposit. Banktoad also transfers your bank total to other game files on your game disc.
Tips
  • Drill with good timing to avoid the electric balls below you.
  • Notice the enemy has a second or so pause in midair.

  • Deposit Star Bits with the Banktoad to reach 9999 to access the comet star of the very last level.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head across the bridge, dodging the bird enemy, and go forward to the tree on the right. Behind it, use the pipe to find a ? coin minigame. Grab the coin and quickly follow the paths of coins in 3 different patterns to earn a 1-Up (or more).
  2. 2
    Near there is a platform with the Cloud Flower, which gives you the ability to create cloud platforms (up to 3). Backflip and spin to get the most height out of it, then go left to the red-bordered platform and onto the bridge.
  3. 3
    Head up and use the stationary clouds, then use your own clouds up to the Checkpoint Flag.
  4. 4
    Cross the clouds by long-jumping all the way to the platform with a Toad calling you. Wall jump between the boxed-on wall to the Launch Star.
