Climbing the Cloudy Tower

"Let's do this!"

- Pianta

Climbing the Cloudy Tower is the second mission of the Starshine Beach Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Mission
This mission requires use of both the Cloud Flower and Leaf Raft. Mario or Luigi will land on the Starting Planet. He must walk over to the large half hidden tower on the other side of the Starshine Beach Planet. There, he must take the underwater entrance and proceed to navigate through the interior of the tower. There will be a launch star that will fling the player onto the top of the tower to hit a switch that will make a Cloud Flower appear. Mario or Luigi must then jump down and grab the flower, and then Long Jump across to the Leaf Raft nearby. The player must guide the leaf raft to the Cloudy Tower and jump up to the top using Cloud Flowers, where the Power Star is located. This star can be obtained without using the Leaf Raft, but it is obviously much harder.
