Bigmouth Galaxy

The Bigmouth Galaxy is a rather strange galaxy appearing in Super Mario Galaxy. The galaxy consists of one large planet shaped like a fish with a big mouth. It is a mostly a water level with a large pool of water in the mouth. It has normal Bloopers in the water as well as several Boos and Preying Mantases.

Bigmouth's Gold Bait
Mario begins this level on a beach outside of the fish's mouth, where there sits a gold treasure chest. The old penguin on the beach remarks that the chest can only be opened by a gold Koopa Shell. Mario will have to dive into the fish's mouth and Mario needs to attack the brick wall by Star Spinning, and the player would have to swim through. There are five Star Chips in this area that will form a Launch Star. The Launch Star sends Mario into a watery pool located directly above the pool that contained the Star Chips (separated by a thin strip of air). This pool contains the gold Koopa Shell, so the player has to grab it and swim back to the beginning of the level. Mario should break open the treasure chest to reveal the Toad Brigade leader, who will hand over a Power Star.

Shortcut
Instead of collecting the Star Chips, use the Koopa Shell to jump onto the top half of the planet and get the golden shell. This may take a bit of practice. If a Koopa Shell is not on hand, a wall jump will do in a pinch.
