Honeyhive Galaxy

## How do I unlock Honeyhive Galaxy?

Complete "A Snack of Cosmic Proportions".

## Star #1: Bee Mario Takes Flight!

In the first planet, which is the same starter planet as the Gold Leaf Galaxy starter planet, and is the starter planet for all 6 Power Star, walk a bit forward, and then a Bee will say, "Welcome to the Honeyhive Kingdom! Our queen rules this land.¨. However, if you decide to go back, you will go to 1-UP Mushroom, but just jump off carefully, because if you don´t, you will die. You will find a few bushes that have Star Bits. You will also find a circular pattern of rocks that will give you 8 Star Bits. Watch out for Rolling Boulders for Star Bits! You will find a big ? Coin, which will unlock a new power-up, the Bee Mushroom. Go to the bottom of the waterfall. You should be able to see it. Once you get it, fly to the cave to go to the other side. You will find 4 bugs that will try to attack you, but just go straight.

Fall down the tree trunk hole to go down a slide, and once you do, fly over the cliff to go to the next section. Avoid the honey, because you won´t jump well on it, but once you reach the Launch Star, shake to launch yourself over to the next planet. The next planet has floating flowers that will force you to be Bee Mario, because if you don't, you will fall right through. The middle flower has a lot of Star Bits, while another one has a 1-UP Mushroom on it. Go to the top one first, and once you go there, in the middle, fly up until you reach the Launch Star. Once you launch, go to the honeycombs (which only Bee Mario can go to) and climb to the top. Once you do, destroy the Piranha Plant to grow a vine to go to the very top.

Once you land on the giant plant, Queen Bee will tell you, "And who might you be? A physician, we presume? No matter. We are in the most vexing predicament and require assistance. The most furious itchiness plagues our entire being! It must be stopped! Please find the source at once!"

What you have to do is to get all 5 Star Chips on her body to make a new Launch Star. Once you get all 5 Star Chips, Queen Bee will say, "My thanks! You have shown much bravery, New Bee. We trust that we may rely on you in the future!", right before spawning a Launch Star. Launch yourself to the tree in the first planet, where you will find the Toad Brigade. Once you talk to them as Bee Mario, they will say, "AAAAUGH! A BEE! ...What?! Mario? Hey...It's YOU! We escaped from Peach's Castle too! But then we thought Bowser would get us, and then we got lost with Luigi...Oh! I just remembered! We found a Power Star! I'm sure you need this, so here, take it.", before he throws the Power Star in the center of the platform, so Mario, or Bee Mario, can get it. Once you go back, instead of going to the Terrace, you go to the Observatory, where you will start Observatory Cutscene #2.

 Observatory Cutscene #2: Toad Brigade

Rosalina will say, "Mario...Your name is Mario, isn't it? That is what I heard from your friends who just arrived. Mario...It has such a nice ring. Your friends are waiting for you in the Garage. I think they want to tell you something, so you'd best hurry on over there."

## Star #2: Trouble on the Tower

This time, there are many more Ground Pound rocks (which will release Star Bits), and the cave entrance is block by a honeyhive wall. This time, destroy a specific Ground Pound to grow a vine that will send you to another vine to go to the next section. There is a shortcut that allows you to get to the next area much more easily. Close to where you land, there is a Star Bit ? block with a spring underneath. What you have to do is to go to the Sling Star that has a spring underneath to go to the area where there is a Ground Pound switch to flip over a Wiggler, then just jump on it.

The Ground Pound switch will also have a platform appear, and it will allow you to wall jump to the next area, where you have to do some more wall jumping to do, before going to a Launch Star to launch yourself to the next planet.

## Star #3: Big Bad Bugaboom

In this Power Star, purple flat big bugs (Bugabooms) have infested the starter planet of Honeyhive Galaxy. In order to defeat them, you have to Ground Pound on them, but they go towards you in a straight line, then go back, so be careful. Go to the same cut log that you saw in Star #1 to talk to the Queen Bee, which will say, "The Neighbors are causing trouble again! We would be most grateful for your assistance!, right before making a Launch Star on the cut log.

Once you launch yourself to the next planet, you NEED the Bee Mushroom to continue. If you don't, the dandelions that you shoot from, which are a death trap if you don't have a Bee Mushroom, you will die, but if you fly at the right time, you will reach the next mini-planet, then do the same thing again to go to the next planet with the Bugaboom boss and a giant tree. In order to hit him the first time, just fly over him to Ground Pound to hit him.

After the first hit, the Bugaboom boss will fly, but not too far from being out of reach. Once you Ground Pound him again, the Bugaboom boss will turn red and it also will fly and spin from time to time, and if you hit him before or after spinning, you can get the Power Star over a tiny lake over a rock. Get the Power Star to complete the level. Remember, after collecting enough Power Stars will send you a Hungry Luma that, when fed, will have Sweet Sweet Galaxy.
