'''Balloons'''<ref> | '''Balloons'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 97, 131, 169.</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as uncommon objects. They look like multicolored party balloons with strings, and they are always suspended in midair. They come in five different colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) can pop them simply by touching them. When popped, the balloons make a small popping noise, release five or six [[Star Bit]]s, and then disappear. The Star Bits that are released from balloons home in on Mario if they are popped this way, so the player does not need to use the [[Star Pointer]] to collect them. Balloons can also be popped by shooting a Star Bit at them. If the player pops a balloon this way, the Star Bits that are released do not home in on Mario but instead fall downwards. | ||
Balloons are found solely in the [[Wild Glide Galaxy]], the [[Fleet Glide Galaxy]], [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]], and [[Honeyhop Galaxy]]. In the former two [[galaxy|galaxies]], both of which Mario must glide through with [[Fluzzard]], the player must steer Mario and Fluzzard towards the balloons scattered throughout the galaxies to pop them and get the Star Bits inside them. In Tall Trunk Galaxy, balloons appear only in the galaxy's second mission, [[Tall Trunk's Big Slide]]. In this mission, they float above the slide at various intervals, and Mario must [[jump]] up at precisely the right time while [[slide|sliding]] in order to pop them and collect the Star Bits inside. In Honeyhop Galaxy, three balloons are found hovering in the air over the gap between the [[Honeyhop Galaxy#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]] and the [[Honeyhop Galaxy#Queen Bee Planet|Queen Bee Planet]]. While the player crosses the gap by using [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]], they can optionally pop the three balloons and get some extra Star Bits along the way. | Balloons are found solely in the [[Wild Glide Galaxy]], the [[Fleet Glide Galaxy]], [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]], and [[Honeyhop Galaxy]].
