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.


'''Honeyhive Galaxy''' (also known as the '''Honeyhive Kingdom''') is a [[galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is full of flowers, [[Honeycomb Wall‎]]s, and is inhabited by friendly [[bee]]s. The kingdom and its bee subjects are ruled by the [[Queen Bee]]. The [[Bee Mushroom]] debuts here and the plumbers learn how to use the [[Bee Mario|Bee Suit]] here.
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.

====Planets/Areas====
The first Planet that Mario visits contains many [[Bee]]s, [[Boulder]]s which come out of a cave and, on occasion, [[Mandibug]]s. The first [[Bee Mushroom]] is located on this planet. There are also red flying insects on this planet, as well as large waterfall in the back. The area behind the waterfall has a lot of honey on the floor which slows Mario down, along with a [[Launch Star]] at the end of the area of the planet which will lead the player to the Flower Planet. A treetop here contains the [[Toad Brigade]] and the first [[Power Star]]. On 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. In mission three, Queen Bee is behind the water, asking for Mario's assistance. A Launch Star appears later on, taking Mario to the [[Bugaboom]] 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 Flower 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.


===={{conjecturaltext|Observation Deck|area}}====
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]].
[[Image:Honeyhive_Galaxy4.PNG|200px|thumb]]
{{multiple image
The Observation Deck is a wooden platform with three stories. The star and level two's mini-boss are found here. A swing can be found here, which can get Mario across the pit, which has a trampoline at the bottom of it. 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 lead Mario up to the second level, which also has two Mandibugs and two walls for Mario to jump so that he can get to the third level. In the third level, Mario must [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] a button, avoiding another Mandibug, so the windmill starts, and helps Mario to climb up to where the mini-boss is, two Mandibugs stacked on top of each other.

=====Observation Deck=====
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Honeyhive Galaxy4.png|200px|thumb]]
The Observation Deck 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]].

==={{conjecturaltext|Flower Planet|planet}}===
=====Flower Planet=====
[[Image:Flowerplanet.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
This planet contains many 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 and some Piranha Plants reside around the edges of the pond. Mario must reach the spinning flower platforms floating above this planet by using the [[Fling Flower]]s and the Bee Suit. In the middle of the floating flower platforms is one 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 not careful.

==={{conjecturaltext|Queen Bee Planet|planet}}===
=====Queen Bee Planet=====
[[Image:SMGHoneyhive.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Queen Bee planet.]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
The planet starts with a honey wall. At the bottom of the wall, a bee 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, coins, 1-ups, 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.

==={{conjecturaltext|Hat Planets|planet}}===
=====Mushroom Twin Planets=====
[[Image:Honeyhive_Galaxy2.PNG|200px|thumb]]
{{dev data|section=yes}}
These are two planets which twist around and have many enemies. Several Piranha Plants are on the top hat planet, which Mario can defeat in order to receive star bits and coins, and 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. To defeat a Wiggler, Mario must [[Spin]] it and then jump on it after it flips over. If Mario doesn't jump on it in time, it will flip back over and chase Mario angrily. At the bottom of this planet, a Launch star can be found, which leads to the Rattle Planet.

==={{conjecturaltext|Bugaboom Planet|planet}}===
=====Bugaboom Planet=====
[[Image:Honeyhive_Galaxy5.PNG|200px|thumb|left]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[Bugaboom]] is fought here. When Mario arrives at the planet, two platforms are found, each one with a [[Fling Flower]], the first with a [[Bee Mushroom]] and the second platform with three coins. Mario must use the Bee Mushroom to reach the Fling Flowers 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 Fling Flowers, honey on the tree and a river of water in the way of scenery on the planet. There is also a Bee Mushroom which helps in the fight against Bugaboom.

Mario begins this level and all others on the largest planet in the Honeyhive Galaxy. Mario needs to follow the path up the hill with a ? Coin, which reveals the game's first Bee Mushroom. The player has to collect the power-up and fly up to the nearby ledges. At the end of the tunnel a tree stump with a hole in it can be found. Mario has to jump down the hole and use the slide. After that, Mario has to fly and jump across the ledges with honey to reach the Launch Star. Mario lands next to a pond filled with lily pads, one of the platforms has a Fling Flower that Mario can spin up to gain height. The flower can be used to reach the flower platforms in the air, and Mario has to carefully fly across them while avoiding the water jets to reach the Launch Star. Here is where the first Honey Wall is faced. Mario has to climb up the wall to reach the pond where the Queen Bee resides. The Queen Bee will then complain about 'a horrible itching plague' (she is covered in Star Chips), so Mario has to fly over to her and climb on her to collect them. Then Launch Star has to be used to end up at the top of a tree on the main planet. The leader of the Toad Brigade presents Mario with a Power Star. After the completion of this mission, [[Toad]]s walk around the [[Comet Observatory]], and begin construction of the [[Starshroom]].

Some enemies from a neighboring planet, the Mandibugs, have taken residence in the Honeyhive Kingdom. With the aid of a Bee Mushroom, Mario must climb up the enormous main planet and traverse a few smaller ones, to end up on the Tower of the Kingdom. Mario begins this level on the starting planet, a 1-up and an "M" of Star Bits are found in this planet. Mario must advance up the path past the boulders.

|mission6=[[Luigi in the Honeyhive Kingdom]]
Mario must then destroy the second stone on the path to release a sproutle which brings him to the next part of the planet. Two trampolines can be found here, the first leads to a ? block with star bits in it, to bounce up to a [[Sling Star]] which sends Mario to a platform with a Wiggler and a button. Using the button, Mario must open the next part of the path where he must wall jump to the top of a staircase. At the top, he has to proceed to the wooden boards that lead to a [[Launch Star]]. The Launch Star leads to the Hat Planets where Mario must first face a barrage of Piranha Plants and then of Wigglers. At the end of the second Hat Planet, Mario finds another Spin Star which takes him to the rattle planet. On the rattle planet, several Piranha Plants, one more Wiggler and a ? coin are found. There is a tube for Mario to go through which takes him to the Observation Deck. There, he must defeat several Mandibugs and use trampolines to get to a wall jumping platform which he can wall jump up to get to the upper level. In this level, he can ground pound a button, activating a windmill which takes him to the very top where there is a mini boss in the form of two Mandibugs stacked on top of each other. Mario must ground pound the one on top and then do the same to the one on the bottom to defeat it and release the [[Power Star]] that they were guarding.

===Big Bad Bugaboom===
[[Image:Bugaboombooom.jpg|200px|thumb|left|[[Bugaboom]] attacks [[Mario]]]]
The Mandibug infestation has hit, and it seems that to end the invasion, the leader of the Mandibugs, the ferocious Bugaboom, must be defeated. To get to him, Mario must travel through the starting planet, once again, avoiding boulders, Slurples and Piranha Plants, along with Mandibugs as well. Using a Bubble Blaster, he must go to the area at the bottom of the waterfall and travel through the tunnel to meet Queen Bee. If Mario goes down a pole, it is possible to stop on the other side of the starting planet for a Life Mushroom and some enemies. Queen Bee asks Mario to help her and gives him a Launch Star so that he can get to the Mandibug Planet.
[[Image:Honeyhive_Galaxy1.PNG|200px|thumb|The Starting Planet]]
There are two small platforms before the Mandibug Planet which can help Mario reach the planet via the use of Fling Flowers and the Bee Mushroom. Mario then lands on the Bugaboom Planet. To defeat Bugaboom, Mario must ground pound his back multiple times. The first time, Bugaboom charges at Mario on the ground and Mario only has to use a Bee Mushroom to get higher than it then ground pound. However, the second time Bugaboom starts flying and Mario must fly up to nearby honeycombs and remain there until Bugaboom passes, while avoiding the bombs shot out of his stomach. Finally, on the third time, Bugaboom grows angry and starts flying faster and on his side so that Mario cannot defeat him. Mario must use the Fling Flowers with the correct timing to get above him when he is not on his side and ground pound him. When Bugaboom is defeated, Mario gains a Power Star.

As ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'' reuses Rosalina's golf animations from ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', the Honeyhive Galaxy reappears during her best post-hole animations.
Upon entering this level, a cosmic doppelganger of Mario/Luigi appears. Mario has to race [[Cosmic Mario]] and Luigi must race [[Cosmic Luigi]] for the Power Star. If Cosmic Mario or Cosmic Luigi reaches the Power Star first, Mario or Luigi loses a life. As is the case for every Cosmic Comet mission, the Luigi version is much more difficult, as Cosmic Luigi is faster, uses a lot of long jumps and doesn't hang around one area to make a jump. However he makes one vital flaw - he gets stuck in the honey floor near the end of the race. To begin the race, at the start, Mario must move forward a few feet. Cosmic Mario appears and challenges him. They must both charge down the path to the bottom of the waterfall and backflip up the block to get to the top. One more backflip and Mario is in the tunnel which leads to the tube. Once at the bottom of the slide, Mario must backflip once again to get to the area with honey. Running through this area avoiding the honey and the deadly pits, Mario must get to the end where the Power Star is.

===Luigi in the Honeyhive Kingdom===
[[Image:Luigihoneyhivecard.jpg|200px|thumb|[[Luigi]]'s postcard requesting help]]
After rescuing Luigi from the Haunted Mansion of the [[Ghostly Galaxy]], [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and [[Battlerock Galaxy]], his fourth destination is the Honeyhive Galaxy. Once again, he needs Mario (or the playable Luigi) to rescue him, this time from a 'big, scary bug'. He can be found clinging to a tree in the first mission of the Galaxy. After completing this mission and meeting up with the NPC Luigi in the Comet Observatory, he decides that searching for Power Stars is too scary, and gives up. In this mission, Luigi gives Mario a [[Power Star]]. To get to Luigi, Mario must use a Bee Mushroom to fly up the hill at the start of the level into the next area. In that area, he must climb up the thin wooden wall without falling down into the black hole to the top, or use the Bee Mushroom. At the top a tree is seen, which Luigi is clinging to as he is afraid of the big scary bug. When Mario jumps into him or shoots a Star Bit at him, he falls and gives Mario the Power Star.

Honeybee, Super Mario Galaxy

The Honeyhive Galaxy (called the Honeybee Galaxy[1] in prerelease material) is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. It is the site of the Honeyhive Kingdom that is ruled by the Queen Bee and inhabited by friendly Honeybees. This forest-based galaxy is full of flowers and honey walls. 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[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Planets/Areas[edit]

Starting Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Mario landing on the Starting Planet.

The first Planet that Mario visits contains many Honeybees, Ruby Rocks, Slurples, and on occasion Mandibugs. The first Bee Mushroom is located on this planet. There are also Flipbugs 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 Flower 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 jumps, 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 Bits 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[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Honeyhive Galaxy4.png

The Observation Deck 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 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, so that he can get to the third level. In the third level, Mario must ground pound a button while avoiding another Mandibug. After doing so, the windmill starts, and helps Mario reach the mini-boss, a Mandibug Stack.

Flower Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Flowerplanet.png

This planet contains many 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 Octoguys, a Flipbug, and some Piranha Plants reside around the edges of the pond. Mario must reach the spinning flower platforms floating above this planet by using the Banandelions 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.

Queen Bee Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Honeyhive Galaxy and Queen Bee
The Queen Bee planet.

This planet is what the Honeybees call the "Queen's castle". The 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, coins, 1-Up Mushrooms, 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.

Mushroom Twin Planets[edit]

The title of this section is official, but it comes from development data such as an internal filename. If an acceptable public source is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Honeyhive Galaxy2.png

The Mushroom Twin Planets[2] 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.

Tubed Relay Planet[edit]

The title of this section is official, but it comes from development data such as an internal filename. If an acceptable public source is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Honeyhive Galaxy3.png

The Tubed Relay Planet[3] 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.

Bugaboom Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Honeyhive Galaxy5.png

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.
