Snow Cap Galaxy

The Snow Cap Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, accessed via the Hungry Luma outside the Garden. It is comprised of two small planets. It's always snowing on the main planet, but the player can use the Star Cursor to push the snow apart, revealing anything hidden. The background of the stage features an Aurora.

Starting Planet
A glass orb with a chest on top and a Koopa Shell on the bottom. Mario must use the shell to hit the chest to reveal the Launch Star.

Snow Planet
A pill-shaped planet covered in snow. It is inhabited by three Star Bunnies.

Star Bunnies in the Snow
Three Star Bunnies ask Mario to play another game of hide-and-seek on the main planet. This time, the Bunnies make it much harder than previous missions. Mario must first find and stomp several hidden miniature Flipswitches, which will reveal a Fire Flower. Mario must then use it to find the Bunnies. One is hiding in a snowman, another in a hole in the ground, and the third is hiding in a chest which has to be opened with a Koopa Shell. On top of all this, the mission has a time limit of 2:30. If Mario can pull it all off, the Bunnies award him with a Power Star. The best and fastest way for the player to catch the bunnies is by trapping them in the depressions on either end of the planet. This will make it much easier to get them.

Trivia

 * A snow cap is a cap of snow on a mountain, glacier, etc.
 * On the first planet, the player can see Mario's reflexion in the glassy planet, but not the Koopa Shell's when he is holding it. The same thing happens when the player sees Mario's silhouette through a wall.
