Follow this detailed walkthrough for 'Topmaniac and the Topman Tribe' in Super Mario Galaxy, covering boss phases, strategies, and collectibles in Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by dealing with the Monty Moles on the initial saucers. They throw spanners, but can be stunned by Star Bits or ground pounds. Use Pull Stars to advance.
  2. 2
    Use a Sling Star to reach a flying saucer that navigates a minefield. Another Launch Star awaits at the end.
  3. 3
    The next Launch Star leads to a trapped Luma. Defeat the Spiky Topman by spin-attacking it into electric wires to free the Luma, which transforms into a Launch Star.
  4. 4
    After landing on yellow blocks, destroy the wooden crate behind the Monty Mole to reveal a Warp Pipe to the next area.
  5. 5
    Navigate the gravity chamber by spin-attacking arrows to change gravity direction, avoiding Electrogoombas and Goombas. Reach the end, change gravity to walk on the ceiling, and carefully progress.
  6. 6
    At the opposite end, drop down and make your way along the room, avoiding crushing hazards. Drop into a normal gravity area and enter the Warp Pipe.
  7. 7
    In the next room, jump over the Jump Beamer's laser rings and use it to launch into a Sling Star, reaching a platform on the ceiling.
  8. 8
    Hit the two Spikey Topmen into the electrical gate to disable it from both sides. Take the Launch Star to the final area.
  9. 9
    Topmaniac Boss Fight:
  10. 10
    Phase 1: Jump on Topmaniac to incapacitate it (avoiding its spikes initially). Spin it into the side electrical barriers. A few Topminis will also be present.
  11. 11
    Phase 2: Similar to Phase 1, but with more Topminis. Repeat the process to damage Topmaniac.
  12. 12
    Phase 3: A couple of Spikey Topmen will appear. Focus on Topmaniac, ignoring the Spikey Topmen if possible, to defeat it.
  13. 13
    Upon defeating Topmaniac, a Power Star will spawn.
