Super Mario Galaxy 2 Walkthrough

#1 #2

Huge Trouble with Big Wigglers

This super-sized level will test both your long-jumping and wall-jumping skills. The massive Goombas can be killed with spin attacks but many of the other blown-up enemies are invincible.

Near the first of these Goombas is the galaxy's Comet Medal hanging precariously in the air between two blocks. To reach it you'll need to simply long-jump across the span (Run forward, press Z to duck and then quickly press JUMP).

Use the wall-jump on the massive coin to climb to the next area. Cross the pipes carefully, waiting for the piranha plant to recede. The final pipe will lift you to the next area.

Here you can learn about the long jump by accessing the green sign. Interestingly, you can also use this sign to get infinite 1-Ups. Grab the 1-Up Mushroom with a long jump and return to the sign to watch the video. After watching it, the 1-Up will reappear!

After you stock up on 1-Ups, jump over to the massive Thwomps. Run under the first Thwomp and stop between the two. Once the Thwomps slam down, use them to wall-jump to the top of the colossal enemies to grab another 1-Up Mushroom. Drop down the right side of the second Thwomp and use the launch star to continue.

Follow the Koopas counterclockwise and grab the Spin Drill. You can use this to kill the Koopas. Follow closely behind one Koopa to drill through the planet and catch another one from beneath. Defeat the remaining Koopas in this manner and then use the launch star to blast to the next area -- grab some star bits along the way in the green pipe.

Spin into the Goombas to defeat them. Soon you'll come across a ? Coin that makes four rows of coins appear. Long-jump to collect them. A series of yellow platforms lie ahead -- don't get caught on the middle one as it plummets downward!

This small planet just before the Wigglers is filled with coins and star bits. Run around it to make them appear (Note: The Hidden Star "Huge Trouble with Big Wigglers" can be found by making all the flowers appear on this planetoid).

The final stretch is the perfect place to exercise your long-jumps. Time them carefully and you'll be able to weave through the Wigglers and even grab a 1-Up along the way. The Power Star is at the end of the cylinder.
