The [[Pull Star]] is used much more here than in many of the other galaxies. Also, the [[Toad Brigade]] is found here on a large T-shaped platform covered in crystals; if [[Mario]] frees the Toads trapped in the crystals, the main [[Starshroom]] will appear to take Mario to the next location. There is also a hidden wooden planet shaped like [[Yoshi]]'s head.

===Star Dust Rolling Step A===

[[File:SMG Star Dust Rolling Step A.png|200px|thumb|Mario on the Star Dust Rolling Step A.]]

The Star Dust Rolling Step A<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/StarDustRollingStepA.arc).</ref> is a small prism-shaped planet made out of glass. It has two metal plates on either base. There are three [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s that contain Star Bits on its surface.

===G Capture Tutorial Zone===

[[File:SMG Space Junk Pull Stars.png|thumb|left|200px|G Capture Tutorial Zone]]

These are two small fields of asteroids that Mario passes through in all of the missions but the second mission in the G Capture Tutorial Zone<ref>File name of the zone, GCaptureTutorialZone.</ref>. There are two fields one at the beginning of the galaxy and one near the [[Assembly Block]] area. Mario uses small paths of pull stars to navigate himself through the fields. Strangely one of asteroids in the first field is shaped like an "L". If Mario positions himself correctly he can land on these asteroids by using nearby planet's gravity, as these asteroids do not have their own gravity.

===Lava Transparent Planet===

[[File:Orb Planets.png|200px|thumb|Mario collecting Star Chips on one of the three Lava Transparent Planets.]]

The Lava Transparent Planets<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/LavaTransparentPlanet.arc).</ref> are three spherical glass planets with [[Amp]]s moving around them. These planets have a ring of metal around their surface and two metal plates on either side. There are five [[Star Chip]]s moving about on these planets. After collecting the Star Chips, Mario can use a Launch Star to go to the Rocket Planet.

===Planet Rockets===

[[File:SMG Planet Rocket.png|200px|thumb|left|The Planet Rocket.]]

The Planet Rockets<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PlanetRocket.arc).</ref> are a disconnected pair of big, long, red-and-tan space ships floating around in space. One is encountered in the first mission of the galaxy, and the other in the third. They have two Crystals containing coins growing out of its portholes. On the one in the third mission, the end of the planet features a Sling Pod, along with a few [[Spoing]]s and a [[Life Mushroom]]. These planets resembles [[Hocotate Ship|Olimar and Louie's ship]] from ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]''.

===T Shape Planet===

[[File:SMG T-Shape Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario facing some Spoings on the T Shape Planet.]]

The T Shape Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/TShapePlanet.arc).</ref> resembles a tower. It contains some [[Spoing]]s. It is also where Mario finds the [[Toad Brigade]], all of them trapped in a [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]. After Mario frees them all, the [[Starshroom]] will appear and the [[Toad Brigade]] theme will play. If Mario leaves and goes back to the Blue Star Capsule Planets, the main theme of this galaxy resumes again. Various items and a [[Goomba]] are also trapped in crystals. On the top of the Starshroom is a [[Sling Star]], which will take Mario to the Assembly Block Area.

===Assembly Block Planet===

===Grave Stone A===

[[File:SMG Grave Stone A Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|Grave Stone A]]

The Grave Stone A<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/GraveStoneA.arc).</ref> is a planet mostly made of gray stone. It has a sort of arch, as seen in the picture. This planet is an entrance to Tarantox's lair and marks a [[checkpoint]]. The pre-boss music begins when [[Mario]] lands on this planet, and the Grave Stone B planet is nearby. [[Spoing]]s also dwell here. To proceed, Mario must use the Sling Pod to launch the Toad to Grave Stone B, before launching himself also.

===Phantom Boss Spider Zone===

[[File:SMG Phantom Boss Spider Zone.png|200px|thumb|The Phantom Boss Spider Zone, with its shell over it, just before Mario breaks it in half.]]

The Phantom Boss Spider Zone<ref>File name of the zone, PhantomBossSpiderZone.</ref> is exceptionally large and looks like a giant version of the top of a [[Sling Pod]]. In fact, Mario uses a Sling Pod to get to the planet, breaking its shell open and revealing a giant sticky spider web, where he fights Tarantox, who is frozen inside the Sling Pod Planet. Several [[Coin]]s are also stuck in the web, and can be freed using the [[Star Pointer]] to restore some of Mario's health during the battle. After defeating Tarantox, Mario will get a Power Star. There's also a green [[Toad (species)|Toad]] inside the planet, stuck in a Sling Pod.

===Yoshi Head Planet===

[[File:SMG Wooden Yoshi Head.png|thumb|200px|left|The Yoshi Head Planet.]]

The Yoshi Head Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/YoshiHeadPlanet.arc).</ref> is a small wooden planet in the shape of [[Yoshi]]'s head that shoots steam out of its nostrils. This appears to be the third reference to Yoshi in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the first being the Yoshi game file icon, and the second being the [[Good Egg Galaxy#Egg Planet|Yoshi Egg planet]] from the [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. This planet is home to a number of [[Goomba]]s. These Goombas do not release any Star Bits or coins after they are defeated. When all of them have been destroyed by [[Mario]], he will earn a hidden [[Power Star]]. In addition, when Mario defeats two Goombas in a row by jumping on top of them without touching the ground in between, a counting total will appear on the screen beginning with the number 2. If Mario can continue doing this until he defeats a total of eight Goombas, he will receive an [[extra life]]. Any further Goombas that are defeated without touching the ground will also earn additional extra lives for Mario. This is the only planet in the entire game on which this is possible.

|image6=[[File:YoshiPlanet.png|200px]]

|summary6=This mission's objective is to feed a [[Hungry Luma]], then defeat all of the Goombas on the Yoshi Head Planet.
