Tall Trunk Galaxy

Tall Trunk Galaxy is one of the many galaxies in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. The level takes place in a peaceful forest with a huge tree. The tree has many branches which can be climbed to reach the top. This galaxy introduces the Blimp Fruit. Many Spiky Plants appear to hinder the player. Scuttlebugs are common enemies here.

Starting Planet
The player will land on the base of an enormous tree. During the Flotacious Blimp Fruit mission, Yoshi can be found on the bottom of the planet as well as numerous Item Crystals with Star Bits and coins. Many Scuttlebugs appear on the tree during the said mission and only a single Whittle appears. The use ofBlimp Yoshi is required to reach the Launch Star. During the Tall Trunk's Big Slide mission, Yoshi cannot not found nor Scuttlebugs. The player will need to use Flower Swings to get to the top of the tree and to the Launch Star. A significant amount of Whittles can be found here during the said mission.

Log Planet
This planet is a large log, and is the next site for the player to arrive from the Starting Planet during The Floatacious Blimp Fruit mission. Here, the player and Yoshi will move around the planet in side-scrolling effect to collect Star Chips and create another Launch Star. A Midway Flag, a Comet Metal and some Blimp Berries are also found in the planet. Spiky Plants can prove to be a nuisance when collecting the Star Chips. Fortunately, this planet has a strong gravity field, so Mario cannot fall off this planet.

Trunk Wheel Planet
The planet is a huge section of a trunk with a passage in it where the player arrives. Here, the heroes find another Midway Flag, Star Bits and Blimp Berries. Just as in the Log planet, the exploration in this planet is in a side-scrolling manner. In The Flotacious Blimp Fruit mission, there is a Power Star that Mario must get by going up in the passage with the help of Yoshi eating the Blimp Fruits, while evading some obstacles such as the Paragoombas and Spiky Plants.

Trunk Slide Planet
The planet is a long and hollow trunk. The player will land on an area with many Whittles. They will then have to take the slide. Wigglers and Spiky Plants can be found here. There are a few Spinies in the beginning and many gaps in the slide. This planet is first visited in the galaxy's second mission, Tall Trunk's Big Slide. A remix of the The Princess's Secret Slide theme from Super Mario 64 is played here. At the end, the player will be rewarded with a Power Star, depending on the mission's requirements.

The Flotacious Blimp Fruit
Mario starts this mission in the starting planet. Here, the plumber must find Yoshi hidden underneath the piece of land of the tree so that the dinosaur can take the Blimp Fruits and become a balloon to reach the platforms surrounding the tree's trunk. In case Yoshi has used all the air, he can take again the blue fruits in some platforms and keep going up to reach the uppermost part of the trunk. Over one platform, The plumber and the dinosaur will find a Launch Star that will send to the Log planet. There, after taking the Midway Flag, it is needed to collect the Star Chips scattered in the planet, providing mainly with the Blimp Fruits to reach some inaccesible parts where Star Chips are found. Collecting all the pieces, another Launch Star forms, and the heroes will arrive to the Trunk Wheel planet. Mario and Yoshi again find another Midway Flag and a Power Star. However, they need to fall first from a passageway that leads to an area with a Blimp Fruit that Yoshi eats and so propel towards the Star. Paragoombas and floating Spiky Plants will hinder the path of Yoshi and Mario to reach the star, but many Blimp Fruits in the way can be taken to keep going up and get finally the Star.

Tall Trunk's Big Slide
In this level Mario must use swings to reach the top platform on the starting planet to reach the Launch Star. It should be noted that the level's original music changes when doing this challenge. After Mario uses the Launch Star he will be taken to a planet with a Midway Flag and several Whittles. Mario can then enter the slide and The Princess's Secret Slide music will start playing. The slide is a long and hollow log. It has many obstacles such as pits, Spinies and Wigglers. There are balloons throughout the slide that Mario or the player can pop for extra Star Bits. When Mario gets to the end there are more Whittles. When Mario talks to one it will give him the Power Star. This level has a Cosmic Guide.

Tall Trunk's Purple Coin Slide
Mario must collect 100 Purple Coins for a Gearmo. The first 4 are before the slide entrance. There are 136 more coins on the slide, so a maximum of 40 can be missed. Like in Rolling Coaster Galaxy, Battlerock Galaxy, and Dreadnought Galaxy in the first game, if Mario reaches the end without a total of 100 coins, he won't get the Power Star and instead lose a life.

Green Star 1
The player will redo The Flotatious Blimp Fruit mission. However, instead of going for the Launch Star, the pkay should make their way to the area with the Life Shroom. Directly above it is the Green Star, which can be easily be obtained by the use of Yoshi.
