Break the glass ball near the green hill with the Launch Star.

Use the Checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) Flag (a save point).

Go upwards along the thinner platforms.

Use the Spiny move with Yoshi to launch them at the distant glass globes.

The left and right glass globes contain Star Bits; the middle one has a Luma who gives you a Launch Star.

If you use the Launch Star in midair, you'll end up in a different area.

Several planets offer Star Bits and coins; there is a 1-Up under a planet to the left.

Make your way to the top middle planet with a Launch Star.

Aim where he is as soon as he lands or aim where he WILL be shortly.

Collect the Star.

On the World map, head right to a Hungry Luma.

Feed the Hungry Luma 300 Star Bits by targeting him and holding B (trigger button) to unlock a new galaxy. You should have enough Star Bits.

Spinning switches blue/red tiles and leaves some holes.

Use the red platforms to go upwards, then jump and spin upwards to blue ones.

Jump and spin to red and up again.

Jump (do not spin) to the next tile, then long jump to safety.

Long jump twice more to the Comet Medal, then to the crystal.

Jump and spin for red, then jump (do not spin) between electric fields, then jump and spin to blue.

Long jump to the red tile to set yourself up for an easier end.

Head right to the Spin Drill and spin/drill into the hole you are standing in to the opposite side where you started.

Head left a little and spin/drill into the hole for a 1-Up.

Head back and around left, then spin/drill into a new hole for coins.

Spin/drill into the small hole near the bottom of the planet with a coin to reach the top of the tower with a Luma and Launch Star.

In the new area, grab the Spin Drill atop a sandy platform.

On the next planet, head around right for a Spin Drill.

At the very bottom near the rock, spin/drill inside the hollow part for coins.

Spin/drill in the top part and Launch to the Starshroom ship.

Use the Luma Shop if you can afford the 30 Star Bit cost for a 1-Up or Life Shroom.

Use the Checkpoint Flag and Launch Star at the bottom of the ship to reach Digga-Leg.

Head to the Spin Drill and aim/spin/drill to the glass dome holding the star when it sits under the robot's head.

After each hit, the dome flips to the top and sends drill enemies after you.

If you hit the feet, you will bounce back. Keep trying.

After 3 hits, you win the star.

Use the warp pad in the inside part of the left ear of the Starshroom ship to reach it and get the 1-Up.
