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. Also, the galaxy is inhabited by many Whittles.

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 of Blimp Yoshi is required to reach the Launch Star. During the Tall Trunk's Big Slide mission, Yoshi is not found nor Scuttlebugs. The player will need to use the Flower Grapples 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. It is possible to climb up the big tree without Yoshi but this is not recommended.

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 five yellow Star Chips and create another Launch Star. A Midway Flag, a Comet Metal and some Blimp Fruit are also found on 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.

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.

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. Ther are also many Balloons scattered throughout 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 of the slide, the player will land on the Ending Planet, and be rewarded with a Power Star, depending on the mission's requirements.

This planet is found directly at the end of the Trunk Slide Planet, and houses nothing more than three Whittles and a few giant trees. When Mario lands here, a Whittle (or a Gearmo, during the purple coin mission) will reward him with the Power Star for that mission. This planet also appears in the credits, and once one has gained 120 Power Stars or more, a Bee Mushroom will appear on it too, alongside four whittles.

Tall Trunk's Big Slide
The player will first arrive on the Starting Planet. They will need to use the Flower Swings to get to the Launch Star at the top. This will take them to the Trunk Slide Planet. The player can then enter the slide, which also plays a remix of The Princess' Secret Slide. The slide is a long and hollow log. It has many obstacles such as pits, Spinies and Wigglers. However, the main obstacle here are Spiky Plants. There are balloons throughout the slide that the player can pop for extra Star Bits. When the player gets to the end they will be awarded with a Power Star.

Tall Trunk's Purple Coin Slide
In order to play this mission, the Purple Comet must be in orbit. The player will start on the Trunk Slide Planet. The goal of this mission is to collect 100 Purple Coins for a Gearmo. The first four are before the slide entrance. There are 136 more coins on the slide, so a maximum of forty can be missed. Like in Rolling Coaster Galaxy, Battlerock Galaxy, and Dreadnought Galaxy in the first game, if the player reaches the end with ninety-nine coins or less, they won't get the Power Star, and instead lose a life.
