Editing Yoshi Star Galaxy

'''Yoshi Star Galaxy''' is one of the many [[Galaxy|galaxies]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. This is the first galaxy in which [[Yoshi]] is found; however, before [[Mario]] can break the [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]], he must defeat a [[Magikoopa]] to break the barrier surrounding the egg, making this galaxy the first and only one in which Yoshi cannot be accessed without a certain method. The galaxy itself consists of lush meadows, with many flowers, grassy paths and an active volcano.

After using the Launch Star from the first planet, Mario and Yoshi land on a tiny planet, where they can pass by a [[Checkpoint Flag]]. It has Crystals, insects, and a [[Chance Cube]]. One of the Crystals reveals a [[Launch Star]], which Mario must take to travel to the next planet. In the second mission, it can be accessed from the [[Teleporter (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|Teleporter]], where it acts as a bonus planet and is covered in [[Goomba]]s.

During the second mission, the player and Yoshi will land on this planet after using the Launch Star from the main planet. Here, they can pass a Checkpoint Flag. Enemies here include a Lakitu and several Spinies which the Lakitu spawns. There are also three cages, two of them containing Star Bits, and the other containing a [[Luma]] which will transform into a Launch Star once it is set free. The cages can only be broken by having Yoshi eat and spit out a [[Spiny]] towards one of the cages.

===Orbiting Planetoids===

During the second mission, [[Mario]] and Yoshi can land on this planet if the player activates the Launch Star in midair while flying from the Spiny Shooting Planet. This area has a set of small, flat planetoids that are orbiting around a slightly larger spherical planet. These platforms contain a [[1-Up Mushroom]], a [[Life Mushroom]], a few [[coin]]s and some fruits. Mario and Yoshi can use the Launch Star on the planetoid located at the top to blast off to the next planet. In the first mission, it can be seen to have Goombas on it, likely for a similar purpose as the Earth Planet mentioned above, but cannot be accessed.

===Marble Block Planet===

During the second mission, the player will land on this planet where they must use Yoshi's tongue to pull out platforms to climb up. The player must also have Yoshi eat a Spiny and spit it out toward a cage with Launch Star inside to blast off to the final planet. Enemies here include a Lakitu and Spinies. There are also crystals containing Star Bits and a coin and the platforms that Yoshi can pull out contain a [[1-Up Mushroom]], coins, and [[Star Bit]]s. There is also another 1-Up Mushroom on top of the planet, to get it the player should jump on the cage with Yoshi then flutter jump up to get it.

===[[King Lakitu]] Planet===

This is the final planet during the second mission. The player and [[Yoshi]] will land on this area after blasting off from the Marble Block Planet. Here, they can pass a Checkpoint Flag. Using Yoshi's tongue, they can swing up to the top area where [[King Lakitu]] is fought. There are two crystals on this planet, each with a coin inside of them. Should the player use the [[List of Super Mario Galaxy 2 glitches#Yoshi's infinite Flutter Jump|infinite Flutter Jump glitch]] towards the dark clouds in the background mid-battle, they would get electrocuted and fall into the [[pit|abyss]]. Trying to infinite flutter away from the planet during a battle with King Lakitu results in the player losing a life.
