The '''Honeyhive Galaxy''' (called the '''Honeybee Galaxy'''<ref>{{cite|author=Shoemaker, Brad|date=October 17, 2007|url=www.gamespot.com/articles/super-mario-galaxy-hands-on-the-early-galaxies/1100-6181060|title=Super Mario Galaxy Hands-On - The Early Galaxies|publisher=GameSpot|accessdate=May 12, 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20190621211146/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/super-mario-galaxy-hands-on-the-early-galaxies/1100-6181060}}</ref> in prerelease material) is a [[galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is the site of the '''Honeyhive Kingdom''' that is ruled by the [[Honey Queen|Queen Bee]] and inhabited by friendly [[Honeybee]]s. This forest-based galaxy is full of [[Flower (environmental object)|flower]]s and [[honey wall]]s. The [[Bee Mushroom]] debuts here, transforming Mario into [[Bee Mario]]. This is one of the three bee-themed galaxies, the other two being the [[Honeyclimb Galaxy]] and [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]]. The aforementioned Gold Leaf Galaxy is also a mirror version of this galaxy, except with an autumn environment on the main planet and a few minor changes to the surrounding planets. In early versions of the game, Gold Leaf Galaxy planets could be found in Honeyhive Galaxy and/or vice versa, suggesting that they were originally planned as one larger galaxy.

While the galaxy does not return in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]] and [[Honeyhop Galaxy]] share the same bee-themed traits as this galaxy, and the Queen Bee makes a reappearance in the latter. The music theme of the galaxies is a remixed version of the theme playing in this galaxy, with additional instruments.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
====Planets/Areas====
'''NOTE''': Most planets in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' are not names. Unless otherwise noted, all names are informal descriptors.
=====Starting planet=====
[[File:Honeyhive Galaxy1.png|thumb|left|Mario landing on the Starting Planet.]]
The first Planet that Mario visits contains many Honeybees, [[Boulder|Ruby Rock]]s, [[Slurple]]s, and on occasion [[Mandibug]]s. The first [[Bee Mushroom]] is located on this planet. There are also [[Flipbug]]s on this planet, as well as a large waterfall in the middle. The area behind the waterfall has a lot of [[honey]] on the ground which slows Mario down. A [[Launch Star]] at the end of this area will lead the player to the pond-like planet. The [[Toad Brigade]] and the first [[Power Star]] can be found on the top of a large tree here. During the second mission, Mario can use a [[Sproutle Vine]] to reach an area with a [[Sling Star]], leading to another area with a button and a [[Wiggler]] around it. When Mario presses it, it leads to the side of the starting planet, an area with boxes on them and a Launch Star leading to the Hat Planets. The area can also be reached in other missions with skilled [[jump]]s, though the Launch Star is not present. In mission three, the Queen Bee is behind the water, asking for Mario's assistance. A Launch Star appears later on, taking Mario to the Bugaboom Planet.

There is a group of [[Star Bit]]s to the immediate right of the starting area that form a large "M", in reference to [[Mario]]. There is another group of Star Bits in the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]] that are in the same position as these Star Bits (mirror-wise, of course), which form a large "L", in reference to [[Luigi]].

=====Observation deck=====
[[File:Honeyhive Galaxy4.png|200px|thumb]]
The '''observation deck'''<ref>{{cite|quote=Those {{color|red|Mandibugs}} have taken over our {{color|blue|observation deck}}! Ooooh, they make me so mad!|author=[[Honeybee]] in [[Trouble on the Tower]]|title=''Super Mario Galaxy''}}</ref> is a wooden platform with three stories, which only exists in the [[Trouble on the Tower]] mission. The mini-boss and Power Star of Trouble on the Tower are found here. Mario must use a [[trapeze|swing]] here to get across the [[pit]]. At the bottom of this pit, a [[trampoline]] can be found. If Mario falls into the pit, there is a [[Life Mushroom]] guarded by two Mandibugs on the bottom level of the observation deck. Two trampolines can be used to get Mario up to the second level, which also has two Mandibugs and two walls for Mario to [[Wall Jump|wall jump]], so that he can get to the third level. In the third level, Mario must [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] a button while avoiding another Mandibug. After doing so, the [[Lift|windmill]] starts, and helps Mario reach the mini-boss, a [[Mandibug Stack]].
{{br}}

=====Pond-like planet=====
[[File:Flowerplanet.png|thumb|200px]]
This planet contains many [[Flower (platform)|floating flower platforms]]. The bottom of the planet is full of lily pads floating in water that work as landing spots for Bee Mario. Several rock-spitting [[Octoguy]]s, a Flipbug, and some [[Piranha Plant]]s reside around the edges of the pond. Mario must reach the spinning flower platforms floating above this planet by using the [[Banandelion]]s and the [[Bee Mushroom]]. In the middle of the floating flower platforms is a gigantic flower platform, above which is a Launch Star that takes Mario to the Queen Bee Planet when used. In between the flower platforms, several fountains are found, which continually blast water into the air and will turn Bee Mario back into Mario if he is hit.
{{br}}

=====Queen's castle=====
[[File:SMG Queen Bee Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|The Queen's castle.]]
This planet is what the Honeybees call the "'''Queen's castle'''". The [[Honey Queen|Queen Bee]] and some Honeybees occur here. This planet starts with a honey wall. At the bottom of the wall, a Honeybee and a Piranha Plant can be found. To climb up the wall, Mario must run into it and go upwards. It requires one jump and [[fly]] period and the rest is climbing. There are some optional jump and fly periods for shortcuts, [[coin]]s, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, etc. At the very top of the wall, a Piranha Plant can be seen holding down a sproutle. When Mario defeats it, it releases the sproutle, which brings Mario right in front of Queen Bee. Queen Bee is hovering in the middle of the Queen Bee planet. The Queen Bee Planet is filled with water and has a rim of ground going around it. It is possible to stick to Queen Bee and climb around her.
{{br}}

=====Mushroom Twin Planets=====
[[File:Honeyhive Galaxy2.png|200px|thumb]]
The '''Mushroom Twin Planets'''<ref>The file name for the Mushroom Twin Planets</ref> are two planets which twist around. They have many enemies. Several Piranha Plants are on the top mushroom planet, which Mario can defeat in order to receive star bits and coins. Then he must proceed to the bottom of the planet. Once there, Mario can jump and land in a ring of star bits on the second planet, which contains two Wigglers. At the bottom of this planet, a Launch Star can be found, which leads to the Mushroom Twin planets Planet.
{{br}}

=====Tubed Relay Planet=====
[[File:Honeyhive Galaxy3.png|200px|thumb|left]]
The '''Tubed Relay Planet'''<ref>The filename for the Tubed Relay Planet</ref> is shaped like a rattle with, as the name suggests - a hollowed out "tubed" tree trunk as the handle. There is also a large bulb at the top. On the bulb at the top, many Piranha Plants are found. Defeating them will give Mario star bits or coins. A [[? Coin]] is found nearby, which releases a Rainbow Star so that Mario can defeat all the Piranha Plants.
{{br}}

=====Bugaboom's planet=====
[[File:Honeyhive Galaxy5.png|200px|thumb|left]]
Bugaboom is fought here. When Mario arrives at the planet, two platforms are found, each one with a [[Banandelion]]. The first one also has a Bee Mushroom, and the second platform has three coins. Mario must use the Bee Mushroom to reach the Banandelions and then fly on to the next platform. This planet is large and has a gigantic tree in the middle of it. There are several Banandelions, honey on the tree and a river of water in the way of scenery on the planet.

===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
Part of the Honeyhive Galaxy appears in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' during [[Rosalina|Rosalina's]] [[Eagle]], [[Albatross]], and [[Hole-in-One]] animations. Additionally, the music of the [[Wiggler Park]] course is a cover of this galaxy's music.

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
As ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'' reuses Rosalina's golf animations from ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', the Honeyhive Galaxy reappears during her best post-hole animations.

==Trivia==
*Planets identical to the ones from Honeyhive Galaxy appear in ''Duludubi Star'', a {{wp|Counterfeit consumer good|knockoff}} of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' published by {{wp|Fantawild}}.<ref>{{cite|author=DidYouKnowGaming|date=February 29, 2020|title=China's Super Mario Galaxy Rip-Off - Region Locked ft. @ashens|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbKc7-sW1Ds|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 23, 2024}}</ref>
*This galaxy and the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] are the only galaxies with two back-to-back boss missions in the original ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', counting only "main" missions. Coincidentally, both have the boss in the last two major missions.
