Buoy Base Galaxy

The Buoy Base Galaxy is a galaxy that appears in Super Mario Galaxy. The galaxy contains a large fortress floating atop a large, spherical pool of water. Mario has to climb this fortress in order to get the main Power Star in this galaxy.

The Floating Fortress
In this level, the objective is to scale the fortress and receive the Power Star, located on a planetoid above the fortress. In order to do this, the player must first enter the pool of water and release the weight from within by directing the attacking Torpedo Teds towards the weight. Then Mario must begin his ascent, surviving the various traps that have been put in place to stop Mario, collecting the five blue star chips, to eventually lay out a path of Pull Stars towards the next planet.

On this planet, Mario has to head to the top of the planet, where it is opened by spinning on a gold screw. The player then dives in to retrieve the Power Star.

Secret of Buoy Base
This time, when Mario dives into the surrounding pool of water, where he must seek out a caged green pipe, open it by luring the Torpedo Teds into it. The pipe takes Mario to the outside of the planet, where Mario must this time lure Bullet Bills to a cage. Within the cage is the Green Power Star.
