WORLD 5-1. BOO, BOO, BOO!!!

SPACE STORM GALAXY

(GALAXIA ESTACIÓN ELÉCTRICA)

FOLLOW ME, BOB-OMB

(¡SÍGEME, BOB-OMB!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY
I think this Galaxy has the best soundtrack of the whole game. I hear it and I start singing it. This Galaxy has a really difficult part. But before that, what you have to do is to us the Bob-ombs, Bowser´s bombs to destroy the glasses that will allow you to continue. You will have to advance by using the blue Stars and without being touched by the electric bombs. 

You only have one opportunity. If you get buzzed...


ENEMIES
You need that stupid Bob-ombs to continue, but there are also some monsters called Topmans, that can push you to the Bombs. 

You shouldn´t make this guy feel angry. He´s a little bit.. EXPLOSIVE!!! Ja, ja,ja. Bad joke.
Oh, yeah, The electricity is the worst enemy in this Galaxy. It is everywhere, and if you get buzzed, you die. 

MY ADVICE
RUN, RUN, RUN, MARIO, RUN!!!
These were my exact words when I saw this Galaxy. And it can be useful for every gamer. The electric balls will not wait for you. And you can end... TOO BAD!! 

C´MERE, TOPMAN

(¡SÍGUEME, TROMPO!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

This is a hidden Star in the previous Galaxy. Do you remember the Gearmo from the Boulder Bowl Galaxy?

YEAH, THAT ONE. Well, one of her friends wants you to bring her a Topman so she can give you the Star. It is easier than the other mission, because this enemy can´t make you lose 1 HP if it hits you, but you must take care of it, so electricity doesn´t kill the Topman. However, the Topman can push you out of the platforms, If you can do it, the Gearmo will give you a Power Star. 

ENEMIES

TOPMANS!!!! And Topminis, and Bob-ombs, and electricity: To sum up, all the enemies of the previous Galaxy.

TOPMAN                                                                                                             TOPMINI

MY ADVICE

You could eliminate the Topminis, so they don´t disturb you, but there are tons of them: INFINITE DISTURBING TOPMINIS. You should guide that Topman, without hitting youself against them. 

Altough they don´t make you lose 1 Health Point, they can push you out of the platform. 

TO THE TOP OF TOPMAN´S TOWER

(A DOS VELOCIDADES EN LA TORRE)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY.

Well, the title sais what you have to do: climb to the top of the Topman´s tower. It won´t be easy: everything will be extremely fast. However, there are some blue buttons that you can press to make the enemies move slowly. You must use the Green Topmans to advance through this Galaxy, by jumping on them so they make you fly. As I´ve said before, the only thing that Topmans do is pushing you. 

ENEMIES

Do I have to say that there are lots of Topmans? Well, and electric balls called Amps, but you surely have seen them in previous Galaxies. But  the most dangerous enemies are the Thwomps-they can smash you if you don´t control the time. There are also Water Shooters that can push you out of the platforms. 

TOPMAN´S RING (MINIBOSS)

Here you must push two Topmans to the electricity barrier that is surrounding you. By doing this, a Green Topman will appear and it will push you to the Star.

MY ADVICE

Trying to climb the Tower without making the enemies go slowly is a very risky idea. I recommend doing a Bomb Jump on the blue buttons, so the enemies are not so dangerous.In addition, slow-enemy motion seems like  black and white TV. But before the effects disappear, you should found another blue button. 

BOO MOON GALAXY

(GALAXIA LUNA BOO) 

SILVER STARS POP-UP

(ESTRELLAS DE PLATA EN LA CASA DESPLEGABLE)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

If you thought that Boos wouldn´t come back, you were WRONG! They are in this moon to disturb you. You will have to obtain 5 Silver Stars in a Pop-Up house. It will go up and down. But before reaching this, more trials are waiting for you: a dark labyrinth, a moon with 5 Star Ring pieces and a walk in pink panels over a deadly pond. 

ENEMIES

BOOS AND OCTOBOOS!!! They are undefeatable, and they will be disturbing you the whole Galaxy. This would be a good Galaxy for Luigi, the Green Brother. 

 

I´M USED TO DEAL WITH BOOS, BUT I´M AFRAID OF THEM. 

MY ADVICE

It may seem a very difficut Star, but it is quite easy. The only thing you have to worry about is following the pink path without falling to the pond, but even that is easy.  Collect the 5 Silver Stars but don´t forget about the Boos or they will hit you. 

HAUNTING THE HOWLING TOWER

(MARIO FANTASMA, ¡A FLOTAR!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

This is a Galaxy prepared for you to use a special Power-Up: Boo Mario. You land in the dark labyrinth of the previous Star. But now you must look for a pipe that will send you to a Howling Tower, full of monsters and windmills. Mario will have to fly to get the Power Star, but how do we do that?

BOO MARIO

This is a Super Mario Galaxy Power-Up. It will allow you to fly whenever you want and to pass through the walls, just like Boos. However, if you receive damage, you will lose your Power-Up, but there will always be a Boo Mushroom,, so you can keep flying. 

Mario behaves as a Boo! I hope Luigi isn´t there. He would get scared.

ENEMIES

Boos, Octoboos... and Spiny Hermits. But now it´s even more difficult to avoid them. Because Boo Mario can´t hit the enemies and he moves very slowly. To sum up, it is impossible to hit, but easy to get hit. 

MY ADVICE

Practise with Boo Mario, and contol the timing, because otherwise, the enemies will hit you and you will to start all over again. 

And thanks God that King Boo isn´t here. He would be a tough boss.

THE STAR IN THE SINKING SWAMP

(UNA LUNA COMO UNA CUNA)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

This is a hidden Star in the first mission. Instead of jumping on the Star Ring when you´re on the pink path, jump to another hidden path, but without falling to the swamp, until you reach the hidden Star. 

YES, Luigi is coming to the Boo Moon. But was he forced to do it? I thought Luigi was resting at home, while Mario was trying not to fall into the Swamp.

ENEMIES

The same than in the previous Star: Boos and Octooboos (my hypothesis is that they are the spirits from all the Octoombas we´ve killed, and the population in this Moon will increase if we kill more enemies).

MY ADVICE

Run, because the path will be appearing and disappearing really fast, but if you´re focused, you´ll get it (even if you play as the frightened Green Brother).

UPSIDE DIZZY GALAXY

(GALAXIA MANSIÓN SUBE Y BAJA)

A WALK ON THE WEIRD SIDE

(UN CAMINO SIN PIES NI CABEZA)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

This looks like the Gravity mansion in World 1. Do you remember it? But now, the Gravity platforms are moving and in one part, the gravity will change every 5 seconds. So you must be cautious, so you don´t fall down or you get hit by the electricity. This is the real Gravity challenge. Avoid the enemies, go with correct timing, and you´ll get the Power Star.

ENEMIES

The electric walls appear to be the principal enemy, like in the Space Storm Galaxy. Paragoombas and Swaphoppers (the same enmies that in Rightside Down Galaxy) are minor enemies.

MY ADVICE

The music can give you a clue of when the gravity is going to change. Listen to the music so you don´t fall into the electric panels.

BURNING UPSIDE DIZZY

(¡DE NUEVO A FUEGO LIMPIO!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

Welcome to another hidden Star. As in the Rightside Down Galaxy, in World 1, here there is a Burning-Box mission. You will have to destroy all the boxes with fireballs in 20 SECONDS!!!!

So the Gearmo gives you the Star.

WORK, WORK, AND DESTROY THE BOXES. I´M EXPLOITING YOU AND I´M ONLY GIVING YOU 1 POWER STAR.

ENEMIES

Aaah... Remember that Paragoomba?

YES, THAT ONE. 

"I WILL DEFEAT MARIO THIS TIME!!" HE WILL NOT REACH THE GEARMO POWER STAR!!

How many times has this enemy said that? The Paragoomba is the most stomped enemy in the game.

MY ADVICE

Don´t throw a lot of firaballs in one place, because one fireball can destroy all the boxes in its way. 

And use Luigi if you can. It is not essential, but after a lot of attempts with Mario, I tried with Luigi and I got the Star.
