Windy Skies Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 3)

Windy Skies Galaxy, a galaxy unlocked early on in Super Mario Galaxy 3, introduces the player to the Propeller Mushroom for the first time. Similar to the Floaty Fluff, from Super Mario Galaxy, Propeller Mario has the ability to fly great lengths, such that he wouldn't normally by merely jumping. There are certainly parallels between Windy Skies Galaxy and Cloudy Court Galaxy, from Super Mario Galaxy 2, however Windy Skies appears to focus more on electrically-generated wind production, rather than the natural windmills seen in Cloudy Court. Gearmos also roam the galaxy, and will often offer Mario advice and hints, particularly concerning the Propeller Mushroom. When Mario first meets Reginald in 'Propelling Through the Windy Skies', he appears to be having an argument with a Gearmo.

==Missions==
===Propelling Through the Windy Skies===
The primary aim of this mission, is to rescue the Toad Brigade. When Mario lands, he'll notice a smoking, red Starshroom flying across the horizon. A persuing Airship will be following closely behind, whilst firing a number of projectiles. The Starshroom will then crash on a planet in the distance. Unbeknownst to the player at the time, the Starshroom has a Power Star on board, as well as a number of Toads. Mario will have to transverse the galaxy in order to reach the crashed ship. On the first planet, a Blue Luma is sat nearby to where the player lands. Although on the first run he'll simply give Mario some friendly encouragment, when the mission is replayed, he'll transform into a Blue Shortcut Star, which will enable the player to fly straight over to the Airship and skip most of the level. Whether the player opts to take the Shortcut Star or not, they will eventually reach the Airship. To advance from there, they will have to defeat a Boomerang Bro, as well as a number of other enemies. Once the Airship has been cleared a Sling Star should appear, allowing the player to continue. When the player reaches the Starshroom, Captain Toad will inform Mario that they lost Toadsworth in the commotion, before presenting him with the Power Star.
COMPLETION REWARD(S):
*Propeller (Banktoad Alternative Outfit)
===Fly Guy Sky Race===
The primary aim of this mission, is to win a race against Fly Guy. When Mario has aquired 23 Power Stars, Mailtoad will present him with a letter, adressed from a mysterious character. The letter will instruct him to return to Windy Skies Galaxy in order to put his skills to the test. If the player does indeed return, they will meet Fly Guy, a light-coloured Shy Guy, who appears to be rocking a large propeller on his back. He'll challenge Mario to a race across a section of the galaxy, whilst utilising the Propeller Mushroom. If the player takes the victory, he'll be given a Power Star as a reward.
COMPLETION REWARD(S):
*Luigi Cap (Lubba Alternative Outfit)
*Wario Meets Tarantox (Secret Battle Stage)
===Windy Sky's Hidden Ride===
The primary aim of this mission, is to reach the end of the 'Hidden Ride'. Whilst transversing their way through the stage, the player will cross paths with a Hungry Luma. It's wise to note, however, that if Mario uses the Shortcut Star at the start, the Luma will be missed. The Hungry Luma requests a mere 30 Star Bits to crush its cravings. Upon receiving the snacks, it'll transform into a Launch Star, which can take the player to a previously undiscovered planet.
