Surf, Sand, and Silver Stars

"When I woke up this morning. I saw these Silver Stars things all over the islands!"

- Pianta

Surf, Sand, and Silver Stars is the first mission of the Starshine Beach Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Mission
After Mario lands on the Starting Planet, he'll use the Launch Star to travel to the Starshine Beach Planet. Here, he will need to collect the five Silver Stars with the help of Yoshi. The first Silver Star is located in a structure near the beginning of the planet that can only be broken open by a Spiny being spit out by Yoshi. The second Silver Star is found on an odd platform that has a trampoline on the top and can be rolled around in the water. Mario must position the trampoline below the Silver Star, then jump to grab it. The third Silver Star is found on the top of the Grand Pianta Statue. Yoshi must use the Flower Grapples to get to the top, then flutter jump to reach it. The fourth Silver Star is located at the surface of the water next to the half-hidden tower. It is easier to get this star using Dash Yoshi. The fifth and final Silver Star is found at the top of the large tower surrounded by Cheep Cheeps. Blimp Yoshi is needed to reach it. After all five Silver Stars are collected, they will transform into a Power Star.

The Comet Medal can be found in an underwater passage. It can be entered from the main water reservoir or through a hole close to a green Warp Pipe.
