Gold Leaf Galaxy

The Gold Leaf Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. The galaxy greatly resembles, and is basically a mirror of, the Honeyhive Galaxy, with even the exact same music, though it has an autumn environment and some changes, such as the disappearance of a cave behind the waterfall and several more planets. Also, the watch tower is now an observatory and is found in another place. Cataquacks can be found here.

This is one of the three bee-themed galaxies, the other two being the Honeyhive Galaxy and Honeyclimb Galaxy.

This planet is almost identical to the Honeyhive Galaxy's main planet but with a few differences. The planet is also always in fall (or autumn). In the first mission, there are five Blue Star chips scattered across the planet that Mario must find. Thankfully, Mario is given hints by the Star Bunnies as to where the star chips are. In the second mission, lots of blue Cataquacks that are owned by the Bees cover the starting planet. In the third mission there is a huge tower called the observation deck. The tower is taken over by an Undergrunt in a bubble cannon called the Undergrunt Gunner. The planet is also filled with small piles of leaves that, when the player spins into it, a coin or three Star Bits will pop out.

This is a big wooden planet with several water pools with grates over them. There is a switch that can move the grates and make wooden pegs pop out of the ground. There are also blocks that resemble flat ? blocks that slide around and seem to be made of ice.

This is a small wooden planet with a small pool, two Wigglers, and a Cataquack. Mario must get the Cataquack to stand on its symbol and get it to launch Mario up to go to the next planet.

This is a small planet that looks a lot like the Puzzle Cube from the Gusty Garden Galaxy. Mario must lead the Cataquack on the planet through the maze, get it to stand on its designated symbol and then launch Mario up to the next planet.

This is a line shaped like an "M". It has three Cataquacks and Mario must get one of the Cataquacks to stand on the end of the planet and get it to launch Mario up to go to the next planet to proceed.

This is a big round planet with a grass area, a dirt area, a pool area, two tall towers (one that looks like a Jenga tower), and a floating flower garden. This is also most likely where the Cataquacks come from. The power star is at the end of the flower garden.

Star Bunnies on the Hunt
In this mission, several Star Bunnies are searching for Blue Star pieces. After Mario collects them all, they create a Pull Star path which allows the player to reach a planet where the player must catch another Star Bunny. After successfully catching it, Mario will receive a Power Star.

This level is playable when a Purple Comet is in orbit. Mario must search Gold Leaf Galaxy in most of the area of When It Rains, It Pours for all 100 Purple Coins before the time limit finishes. The Bees help remind the player how many Purple Coins they should have by the time they talk to them, if it is less then the player has missed some and must backtrack, wasting valuable time.

The Bell on the Big Tree
There is a big tree in a corner of the galaxy's main planet that has a bubble machine at its base. While in the bubble, Mario must knock the bell on the tree with the Star Cursor and float around, collecting all the Musical Notes. Once all the notes are collected, a secret Power Star will appear.

Trivia

 * There is a group of Star Bits to the immediate left of the starting area that form a large letter "L", most likely referring to Luigi. They are in the same position (mirror-wise) as the group of Star Bits to the right of the starting area in the Honeyhive Galaxy, which form a large letter "M", most likely referring to Mario.
 * It is possible to knock the bell on the tree when on the starting area. Simply look in first person mode and aim at the bell, and it will be knocked as if knocked in the normal way.
