The '''Hightail Falls Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' for the [[Wii]]. This galaxy introduces the [[Dash Pepper]], and the bulk of the galaxy accommodates its use, which transforms [[Yoshi]] into [[Dash Yoshi]] and allows him to scale walls and steep slopes; it is from this that the galaxy derives its name (the word "hightail" meaning "move quickly"). The background of this galaxy consists of several large waterfalls cascading over rocks.

[[File:HTFG1.png|200px|thumb|[[Mario]] on the {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}.]]
On the Starting Planet, there is a small rope bridge, in the middle of which is a single [[Paragoomba]]. After crossing the bridge, Mario must crack a [[Yoshi Egg]] to release Yoshi. Mario and Yoshi must move up a near-vertical ramp by using a Dash Pepper to turn Yoshi into Dash Yoshi. After the ramp flattens out, there are a set of [[platform]]s that fall and then a second ramp, after which is a [[Launch Star]].

This large ramp comprises the second planet of the galaxy. The planet itself has two main paths. If Mario takes the left path upward, he finds [[Penguru]] at the top, who advises Mario to collect as many [[Coin]]s as possible; if Mario aims the camera to the left of Penguru, he can collect many [[Star Bit]]s. The right path is shorter in length and easier to navigate, and ends with a Launch Star.

The Launch Star from the Giant Ramp Planet leads Mario to this planet, where Yoshi must incorporate the Dash Pepper's speed capabilities to quickly race across the falling platforms of the planet. Two different types of platforms exist here: solid, unmoving blocks, and grey, touch-sensitive plates. The latter will fall a short time after Mario and Yoshi have stepped on them. Few Coins litter the expanse, found only on touch-sensitive platforms. The mission's [[Teleporter (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|Teleporter]] is located here as well.

After Mario and Yoshi get past the Falling Platforms Planet, they end up on this planet. Yoshi must eat a Dash Pepper and run up the left ramp. After navigating the turns, along with the various pegs protruding from the surface, they end up on the other side, where there is a bridge that connects this planet to the Left Turn Slope Planet.

After crossing the bridge from the Double Slope Planet, Mario and Yoshi end up on this small, yet difficult, slope. To the right of the slope is a [[Hungry Luma]] who transforms into the Kleptoad Planet if fed thirty Coins. Yoshi needs to eat a Dash Pepper in front the slope to be able to run up it. There is one big moving platform and a sharp left turn at the top; the [[Comet Medal]] is located at this turn. After the two reach the other end, they must use the [[Flower (grapple)|flower]]s to reach the U-Turn Slope Planet.

Once Mario and Yoshi cross the gap via flowers, they end up on this final slope. This slope proves challenging because Mario and Yoshi need to make a sharp U-turn at the top, and because there are many blocks that protrude from the slope and act as obstacles. The [[Power Star]] is located on top of a diamond-shaped block.

The player repeats the [[Hot-Stepping Dash Pepper]] mission. They must make their way to the [[#Left Turn Slope Planet|Left Turn Slope Planet]] once again. However, they need to use Dash Yoshi to reach the end of the planet and the area with the [[Flower (grapple)|flower]]s. The Green Star is floating in the air to the right of the flowers. The player has to climb to the top of the grapples and execute a perfectly-timed Flutter Jump to obtain the Green Star (or Flutter Jump and then [[jump]] off Yoshi).

According to page 82 of the [[Prima Games]] guide, this Green Star was originally located at the top-left corner of the Left Turn Slope Planet, floating in mid-air beside the pole above the upper blue ramp. The player would have had to steer Dash Yoshi off the wall's top-left corner to collide with the Green Star.
