Starshine Beach Galaxy

"We're all working on the strongest Pianta contest!"

- Pianta

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 Piantas 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. Crabbers and Lakitus are common enemies. Dash Peppers and Blimp Fruits are also found in this galaxy.

Planets
NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.

Starting Planet
The Starting Planet takes place in a small tower surrounded by water and colorful coral. There is a Launch Star below the tower which will launch Mario down to the Starshine Beach Planet. It also bears a slight resemblance to the Water Planets from Good Egg Galaxy.

Starshine Beach Planet
A huge planet inhabited by Piantas. Crabs and a Lakitu can be found in the surface. Underwater, there are Cheep Cheeps, Bloopers, a Clampy and Gringills. There is a tower on the west side of the planet. On top of it is a tree. To the right of the starting point is a hill with a small hut-like structure. In the center of the planet is a Pianta fountain and on the east side is a big underwater section with a bottle-like floating platform and a big underwater structure which rises above the water.

Bonus Planet
This bonus planet is inhabited by Crabbers, and if Mario defeats them all within the time limit, he'll get three 1-Up Mushrooms.

Green Star 1
The player will redo the Surf, Sand, and Silver Stars mission. The first Green Star is located above a ? Block which is located atop a palm tree, next to the floating buoy. The player must use the Blimp Fruit to reach the tree and then use the flutter jump to reach the green star.

Green Star 3
The player will redo the Climbing the Cloudy Tower mission. They'll have to activate the Ground-Pound Switch on the top of the tower to make a Cloud Flower appear. The players will have 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 players should continuously create clouds until they reach the star.
