Super Mario Galaxy 2 Walkthrough

Follow Me, Bob-Omb

The blue stars in this galaxy can be grabbed by pointing your cursor at them and hitting A -- don't hit B or you'll waste precious star bits (even though you'll still grab the blue star). Grab the star in the adjacent planet to zoom over and then use the floating blue stars to get to the launch star.

In the cylindrical maze you cannot fall to your death -- but you can be zapped by the green barriers! You'll actually need to fall to lower platforms to progress through the area -- it's kinda counterintuitive.

Just past the rows of rotating platforms is a Comet Medal. Ride the final rotating platform "down" until it touches the electricity and then long-jump to the right to grab the Medal. Take the launch star on the far right to the next area.

The Bob-Omb that appears below the glass will follow you -- you can watch the video at the green sign if you need help with this. Walk over the Bob-Omb and then walk towards the glass globe and it will faithfully follow along on the path below. Get it near the globe and it will blast it to bits, leaving a hole for you to drop into. Grab the Life Mushroom and use the launch star to leave the area.

In the next area you'll encounter Topmen enemies -- these spinning menaces will knock you right off the edge of the level. Spin to destroy the Mini-Topmen. You have to push the large ones off the level with spins, though. You can just run past them for now, however.

If you want to grab the 1-Up in the globe, don't bother leading the Bob-Omb into it. Just spin to stun one and pick it up. Spin again to throw it at the globe to destroy it.

The final stretch is a long string of blue stars that you can cruise through fairly quickly. If you stop then you'll most likely get nailed by the many electrical projectiles. The Power Star at the end of the line is actually kind of tough to get to. While hanging onto one of the blue stars, try to cross the area by grabbing a distant star and then correct your course at the last second to grab the Power Star. It may take a few tries!
