There is a tower on the west side of the planet. On top of it are some trees. To the right of the starting point is a hill with a small hut-like structure. In the center of the planet is a Pianta fountain, and on the east side is a big underwater section with a bottle-like floating platform and a big underwater structure.

Surf, Sand, and Silver Stars
Mario will land on the Starting Planet. He should then take the Launch Star to travel to the Starshine Beach planet. Here, he will need to collect the five Silver Stars, with the help of Yoshi. The first star is located in a structure near the beginning of the planet that can only be broken open by a Spiny that was spit out by Yoshi. The second star is found on an odd platform that has a trampoline on the top and can be rolled around in the water. Mario must position the trampoline below the star, then jump to grab it. The third star is found on the top of the giant Pianta statue. Yoshi must use the Flower Grapples to get to the top, then flutter jump to reach the star. The fourth star is located at the surface of the water next to the half hidden tower. It is easier to get this star using Dash Yoshi. The fifth and final Silver Star is found at the top of the large tower surrounded by Cheep-Cheeps. Blimp Yoshi is needed. After all five Silver stars are collected, they will transform into a Power Star.
