Step to the Beep

Step to the Beep is the first mission of the Beat Block Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The objective is to clear the course and collect five Silver Stars at the end. The mission's name is a pun on the phrase "step to the beat".

Mission
The galaxy is made up of many Beat Blocks, which alternate between tangible orange or green platforms, signified by the beeps coming out of the Wii Remote's speaker (or the television, if the Wii Remote's speaker is turned off). The platforms alternate every four beeps, and the enemies change based on the platform color as well, with orange having Goombeetles and green having Octoombas. The player simply needs to cross the alternating blocks until they reach the pyramid at the end. At the pyramid are five Silver Stars the player needs to collect while the blocks are alternating. Once all five of the Silver Stars are collected, the Power Star appears at the top of the pyramid and the Beat Blocks stop changing.
