'''Starshine Beach Galaxy''' is a galaxy located in World 4 of the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The galaxy is beach-themed and has some elements from the game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''{{'}}s [[Isle Delfino]], including [[Pianta]]s that can hurl the player to other parts of the galaxy and a statue similar to the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] in [[Delfino Plaza]]. The tower in this galaxy also bears a resemblance to the [[Shine Tower]] from [[Gelato Beach]]. The galaxy is also slightly shaped like a dolphin, much like Isle Delfino, and the background music uses similar instrumentation to ''Super Mario Sunshine''{{'}}s [[Delfino Plaza]] music. [[Yoshi]] is also found in this galaxy. [[Crabber]]s and [[Lakitu]]s are common enemies. [[Dash Pepper]]s and [[Blimp Fruit]]s are also found in this galaxy.

====Green Star 3====
[[File:SMG2 Starshine Beach Green Star 3.png|200px|thumb|Luigi right below the Green Star.]]
The third Green Star is found during the [[Climbing the Cloudy Tower]] mission. They have to activate the [[ground-pound switch]] on the top of the tower to make a [[Cloud Flower]] appear. The player has to use the Cloud Flower as well as the [[leaf raft]], and go to the floating trampoline that is located nearby this tower (the trampoline should be facing upwards, where the Green Star's shadow should be in the small space). Once the player fixes the angle at which the trampoline faces, they should proceed to jump on it and get launched into the air. From there, the player should continuously create clouds until they reach the Green Star.

*"''Starshine Beach looks like a wonderful place to vacation, but with [[Princess Peach|Peach]] in peril and [[Bowser]] plotting, you have no time to catch a few rays. With [[Yoshi]] at your side, you must find the [[Power Star]]s of Starshine Beach to keep pushing deeper into the cosmos.''"

==Trivia==
[[File:SMG2 Hidden Dry Bones.png|thumb|200px|The hidden [[Dry Bones]]]]
*The clouds that appear in the background of this galaxy are identical to the ones that appear around Isle Delfino. 
*If this galaxy is hacked and viewed in a level editor, one can view a [[Dry Bones]] in the air off one side of the galaxy, above the sky. It is impossible to see it during actual gameplay, as it is right above a death plane and immediately dies upon loading the galaxy.<ref>SwankyBox. (March 10, 2019).
