Need help finding all the Purple Coins on the Puzzle Cube in Gusty Garden Galaxy? This guide shows you how to collect 100 coins and grab the Power Star within the time limit.

Alright, so you've beaten the main story in Super Mario Galaxy and now a Purple Comet is orbiting Gusty Garden Galaxy. That means it's time to tackle the 'Purple Coins on the Puzzle Cube' mission! Don't worry, this one's pretty chill. You need to snag 100 Purple Coins out of a possible 150, all within two and a half minutes. The good news? Most of them are super easy to grab, so you won't need to pull off any crazy, risky jumps.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Where am I? You'll start on the Puzzle Cube, a giant cube with different faces.
  2. 2
    What do I see? Lots of Purple Coins scattered around each face, and some Goombas wandering about. There's also a Power Star waiting at the end.
  3. 3
    What do I do? Your main goal is to run around the cube and collect as many of the easily accessible Purple Coins as you can. Focus on speed and efficiency. Keep an eye out for those Goombas and try to avoid them or deal with them quickly so they don't slow you down.
  4. 4
    Why this way? You only need 100 coins, not all 150. Trying to get every single coin might waste precious time and lead to mistakes. Stick to the obvious ones!
  5. 5
    Where am I? Still on the Puzzle Cube.
  6. 6
    What do I see? The Power Star is visible above the fountain area.
  7. 7
    What do I do? After you've collected at least 100 Purple Coins, you'll need to make your way back to the starting side of the cube. The Power Star will be waiting for you above the fountain.
  8. 8
    Why this way? You have a strict time limit of two and a half minutes for both collecting coins and grabbing the star. You need to remember your path to get back quickly without getting lost.
Tips
  • Don't stress about collecting every single Purple Coin. Focus on the ones that are easy to reach.
  • Keep an eye on the clock! Two and a half minutes goes by fast.
  • Watch out for Goombas; they can be a nuisance.
  • Remember where you started so you can get back to the Power Star without wasting time searching.
  • The trellises offer a slightly riskier but potentially faster way to grab coins if you're feeling brave, but it's not necessary.
