WORLD 1-1. THE GREAT COSMIC ADVENTURE BEGINS

SKY STATION GALAXY

 (GALAXIA JARDINES SIDERALES) 

PEE-WEE PIRANHA TEMPER TANTRUM 
(¡EL BERRINCHE DEL BEBÉ DINOPIRAÑA!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY? 

After you enter in the Star Ring, you are thrown to the Sky Station Galaxy. A Luma will tell you that Bowser has stolen the Power Stars. You have to climb to the roof of Yoshi´s house. Here a Star Ring will throw you to the next phase.

 The Lumas will help you to advance through the Galaxy, and will tell you news about Bowser: He has scaped with Peach and the Power Stars. After defeating the boss in the end, you will get the first star of the game.

This is how Yoshi´s house looks.

 

RAINBOW MARIO 

In one point of the Galaxy, you will find a coloured star, that will transform you in Rainbow Mario. It will give you invulnerability for a short period of time. You will kill all the enemies you touch. Do you know the Rainbow Mario song? I like to sing it, although it is in Spanish:

Soy invencible,

no puedes tocarme, 

puedes correr, 

pero no esconderte...

ENEMIES.

In this Galaxy, you can find Goombas-the normal Mario enemies, and its cosmic variation,  the Octoombas.

You can defeat both of them by jumping on their heads. But the real problem is to defeat the boss. 

PEE-WEE PIRANHA (BOSS)

He is still a baby, so his attacks are not really difficult to evade. You must hit him in the egg twice to find the butt and hit him there. He will get angry and you will have to repeat this process. 

MY ADVICE.

This is not a very difficult Galaxy, (even my mother could defeat Pee-Wee Piranha) but I recommend getting the Red Mushroom (It will allow you to have 6 HP) to avoid surprises with Pee-Wee Piranha. You can get a lot of 1-Up mushrooms, so do not worry if you die. 

STORMING THE SKY FLEET 

(¡ASALTO A LA ESTACIÓN BALÍSTICA!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY?

To enter to the Sky Fleet, you will need to get a key so you can help the Luma that will transport you to this spaceship. You will have to find the hole to get inside the spaceship and to keep going through this Galaxy.

ENEMIES

In this Galaxy there are a lot of Banzai Bills, huge, enormous bullets that can destroy you. You can only kill them with Rainvow Mario.

There is a mini-boss in the end, a huge Piranha Plant, that you will have to destroy to get the Star. 

You will find another enemies, such as Chain Chomps (we´ll talk about them in another Galaxy and Amps (do you remember the video of 128 ways of dying here?).

MY ADVICE

This Galaxy would be easy if we removed one enemy: The freaking Cosmic Clones. They are the worst characters in the game!!!! They are chasing you and you cannot stop or return to a place. They will hit you. I hate them!!! They are just.... AAAARGH impossible! 

Fortunately, in this Galaxy, they only appear in the Switch part (you have to turn yellow all the Switches to eliminate them) but they will return. 

Here´s a compilation of the Cosmic Clones. 

(In the first 17 seconds, the mission of the Sky Fleet)

EVIL CLONES NEVER DIE!

YOSHI´S STAR GALAXY

(GALAXIA ESTRELLA DE YOSHI)

SADDLE UP WITH YOSHI 

(¡A LOMOS DE YOSHI!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY?

This Galaxy is focused on Yoshi, so we can say he is the Star of the Galaxy (Ok, I recognise it was a bad joke).  At the beggining, Yoshi is prisioned at his egg. You need to defeat Kamek to free him.

It is like a tutorial of how to use Yoshi. He can eat fruit and some enemies. You can jump higher with him. When you spin, he will move his head. He can use flowers to keep flying.  

BUT... IF AN ENEMY HITS HIM, HE WILL RUN AWAY.

ENEMIES.

There is a huge amount of enemies. Appart from the Goombas and the Octoombas, you will find Piranha Plants, Flipbugs (what I call the Suicide Mosquitoes) and Kamek, who you need to kill to free Yoshi.

MY ADVICE.

Honestly, the Galaxy isn´t very difficult: There are plenty of 1-Ups, it is almost impossible to fall to the floor. But i´ve got an advice: Do not walk in the mud. It will be impossible for you to jump, and you can die there. Look what it happens (5:51- 6:03)!!!!

SPINY CONTROL

(¡LANZAMIENTO DE PINCHONES!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY?

After returning from Mario´s spacehip, you se that something has changed. There are a lot of Spinies. You can eat them and throw them to glasses covering coins, 1-Up mushrooms or even Star Rings and Lumas. The Spinies can break the glasses.  According to this video there is an easy way to do it.

But you will have to defeat a boss in the end...

ENEMIES.

The basic enemies here the Spinies and the Lakitus. As the second ones are always regenerating to throw more monsters from their clouds, it will be impossible to defeat them all. Just try to break the glasses with the Spinies that Yoshi can eat.

GIGA LAKITU (BOSS)

Well, it was expectable, no? If the only enemies here are Spinies and Lakitus, one of them should be the boss. 

Giga Lakitu will throw you Spinies. You must eat them and counter-attack throwing them back to him. He´s moving, so it will not be easy. In addition, he can throw thunder and hit you, so you lose Yoshi. Fortunately, you can recover the Green Friend. After hitting him twice, he will turn red.

You must hit him three times to defeat him and get the Star.

MY ADVICE

I recommend to practise throwing the Spinies, becuse you must be pretty accurate to hit the boss three times. Try to get a 6-Point Red Mushroom so it is easier for you. What I have is a question about the boss: Why are the glasses the last thing falling to the ground? 

SPIN-DIG GALAXY 

(GALAXIA ESQUIVA Y EXCAVA)

DIGGA-LEG´S PLANET

(EL PLANETA DE PATALADRO)

HOW IS THE GALAXY

As the previous one, this Galaxy is a tutorial of how to use the Spin Drill. You will have to advance through the planets by drilling and finding the Lumas that will transport you to the next phase. 

Before the battle against the boss, you will find Captain Toad, in his Mushroom Spaceship. He encourages you to fight against the boss. 

SPIN DRILL

The first Power-Up in the game after Rainbow Mario. It will allow to dig in the planet and to reach new places. The only thing you must do is spinning to activate it and dig, dig, dig. You will lose it if an enemy hits you or if you touch a Star Ring.

ENEMIES

In the upper photo you can see the enmies  of these Galaxy: the Diggas, robts that can make you lose 1 HP. Another enemy is the Twirlip, an enemy that seems like a flower.

DIGGA-LEG (BOSS) 

This boss is bigger than the planet where he is fighting. It is a massive robot that can create Diggas to disturb you. But he has a weak point: his belly. Hit him there three times and you will get the Star. 

Here is when I discovered that when you die, you lose all your coins. This horrendous robot stole me 80 coins!!! I hated him so much.

MY ADVICE

You will  find a Hungry Luma that will give you a mushroom if you pay 30 Star Bits before the battle against the boss. If you have the 30 Star Bits, buy a 6-HP Red Mushroom. Digga-Leg can be tough, and this is not the only time you will fight him. 

DIGGA-LEG WILL TAKE REVENGE!

SILVER STARS DOWN DEEP 

(¡DESENTIERRA LAS ESTRELLAS DE PLATA!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY? 

Here you will need the Spin Drill again. After escaping from the Cosmic Clones, you will obtain some herbs that will help you to reach new phases. 

The last phase of the Galaxy is a planet in which there are 5 Silver Stars. According to one Toad called Toadbert, after collecting them, the 5 Silver Stars will join and form a Power Star. 

ENEMIES

Yes, the Diggas are back, and in the first phase you will have to deal with the Cosmic Clones. There are also Goombas, Amps... Many enemies to stop the plumber.

( In this video you can see that it is possible to play as Luigi).

MY ADVICE

After the battle against the boss, this is a really calmed Galaxy. However,  be careful with the Amps and use the Spin Drill when you need it. I died once because of these monsters.

FLIP SWAP GALAXY 

(GALAXIA VUELTA Y VUELTA)

THINK BEFORE YOU SHAKE

(¡AGITAR ANTES DE PISAR!)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY 

You will get here after feeding a Hungry Luma with 300 Star Bits. In this Galaxy there are Red and Blue panels. You can switch from one another by shaking the Wii remote. But (although it may be repetitive) THINK twice before shaking or you will die. If you don´t want to shake you can try to do like  in these videos:

ENEMIES

You will find Goombas, Octoombas and Chain Chomps. This huge dogs can push you out of the platforms if you touch them. However, they will fall if they can´t advence throgh the red or the blue panels.

MY ADVICE.

You will need to combine Jumps with Spins. My advice is to contol the timing, and jump and shake in the correct moment, or you will die. Go to 4:09 of the video.

THAT HAS BEEN ALL FOR TODAY! SEE YOU IN PART 2!
