Starshine Beach Galaxy

The Starshine Beach Galaxy is a galaxy in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is found in World 4. The galaxy uses a beach theme, and is more of an exploration-based galaxy. There are a total of three power-ups used here: the Blimp Fruit, the Dash Pepper, and the Cloud Flower. The level shares similar themes with those used in Super Mario Sunshine. Piantas are residents of this galaxy.
==Missions==
===Surf, Sand, and Silver Stars ===
The objective of this mission is to find and collect 5 Silver Stars scattered across all of Starshine Beach.
===Climbing the Cloudy Tower ===
This mission requires Mario to find a Cloud Flower, and take it to the Cloudy Tower to climb it and obtain a Power Star. The Cloud Flower is obtained after hitting a switch at the top of the ocean tower, and Mario can use a Leaf Raft to transport himself to the Cloudy Tower to avoid losing the power-up.
===Purple Coin Beach Dash===
This mission is only accessible, unless already completed, when a Purple Comet is in orbit. This mission makes Mario collect 100 out of 140 Purple Coins in a strict time limit, using Yoshi and the Dash Pepper to dash across the beach.
===Green Star Missions===
====Green Star 1====
This is found in the Surf, Sand and Silver Stars mission. It is found above a ? Block on a palm tree near the ocean, which requires the Blimp Fruit to access.
====Green Star 2====
This is found in the Surf, Sand and Silver Stars mission. It is above the surface of the ocean, by the ocean tower. It requires the Dash Pepper and a well-timed Flutter Jump and dismount.
====Green Star 3====
This is found in the Climbing the Cloudy Tower mission. After obtaining the Cloud Flower, Mario can use a Leaf Raft to head to the bouncy buoy, and high above it is the Green Star.
==Layout==
===Starting Planet===
The starting planet is an unremarkable spherical water planet with one platform sticking out. There is a Launch Star here and nothing else, other than a random chance of Luigi appearing to play as instead.
===Starshine Beach===
This planet is a very large beach, quite possibly one of the biggest planets in the game. This is broken into sections.
====The Ocean====
The ocean is where Mario will lose his cloud power.
====Cloudy Tower====
The Cloudy Tower is an area found on the opposite side of the planet as the ocean. It is an area with a tall tower, and a small moat surrounding it. In the first mission, there is only a Silver Star on the top of it. A nearby Blimp Fruit can allow Mario to reach it. In mission 2, the tower is surrounded by clouds, and has a Power Star on the top instead. There are some Water Shooters which shoot bubbles of water, which can make Mario lose his Cloud Suit.
====Bonus Areas====
There are two bonus planets in this galaxy. One is found via a teleporter, which makes Mario fight Crabbers in a time limit for the chance to get 3 1-Up Mushrooms. The other area is found by a Warp Pipe on a small island, and it contains three Chance Cubes.

==Trivia==
*If the player is using a level editor, they will see a Dry Bones placed near the main planet's side and above the void, causing it to fall and die before a player gets a chance to see it. However, Dry Bones don't really fit in beach themed levels, so this is likely a mistake made during the making of this galaxy.
*The level Surf, Sand and Silver Stars is an obvious pun on Surf, Sand and Sun.
