'''Yoshi Star Galaxy''' is one of the many [[galaxies]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. This is the first galaxy in which [[Yoshi]] is found, however, before Mario can break [[Yoshi Egg|Yoshi's Egg]], he must defeat a [[Magikoopa]] to break the barrier surrounding the egg. The galaxy itself consists of lush meadows, with many flowers, grassy paths and an active volcano.

{{conjecture|section=yes}}
The player will land at the beginning of a path. The pathway ahead of the start goes uphill, dominated with [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Electrogoomba]]s and [[Spiky Plant]]s. Ahead after the pathway, there is a force field around a [[Yoshi Egg]] on a nest guarded by a [[Magikoopa]]. After it is defeated, the force field disappears and the Yoshi Egg can be cracked open to release [[Yoshi]]. Just up ahead of the egg's nest are some [[Berry|Berries]] and enemies that Yoshi can eat for [[Star Bit]]s. To the left of the berries is a small hill with a [[Comet Medal]] on top. There is a small waterfall with a rushing current nearby as well. To the right are several terraces of land which contain [[Item Crystal]]s and [[Flipbug]]s. There is also a huge volcano, where the player and Yoshi find the [[Launch Star]], after a giant golden berry is eaten by Yoshi. In the second mission, the majority of this area is infested with [[Lakitu]]s and a whole mess of [[Spiny|Spinies]].

The player will land at the beginning of a path. The pathway ahead of the start goes uphill and is filled with many [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Octoomba]]s, and [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s. Ahead after the pathway, there is a force field around a [[Yoshi's Egg]] on a nest guarded by a [[Magikoopa]] that uniquely summons [[Mini Goomba]]s. After it is defeated, the force field disappears and the Yoshi's egg can be cracked open to release [[Yoshi]]. Just up ahead of the egg's nest are some [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruits]] and enemies that Yoshi can eat for [[Star Bit]]s. To the left of the fruits is a small hill with a [[Comet Medal]] on top. There is a small waterfall with a rushing current nearby as well. To the right are several terraces of land which contain [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s and [[Flipbug]]s. There is also a huge volcano, where the [[Launch Star]] appears after Yoshi eats the giant golden fruit. When blasting off from the Starting Planet, the volcano will erupt similarly to the volcano in [[Melty Molten Galaxy]] from the first game, except that this volcano has smoke. In the second mission, the majority of this area is infested with [[Lakitu]]s and [[Spiny|Spinies]].

===Earth Planet===
[[File:YSG1.PNG|thumb|200px|left|Mario and Yoshi on the Earth Planet.]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
After using the [[Launch Star]] from the first planet, Mario and Yoshi land on a tiny planet, where they can pass by a [[Midway Point]]. It has [[Item Crystal]]s, insects, and a [[Chance Cube]]. One of the crystals reveals a [[Launch Star]], which Mario must take to travel to the next planet.

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.

==={{conjecturaltext|Tower Planet|planet}}===
===Tower Planet===
[[File:YSG2.PNG|thumb|200px|Mario and Yoshi on the Tower Planet.]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
In this planet, the player and Yoshi must climb up the tall planet to reach the Launch Star. There are [[Piranha Plant]]s and [[Spiky Plant]]s which cover up most of the pathways, but fortunately, Yoshi can dispose of them by eating them. At the top, there are [[Electrogoomba]]s and a flower grapple. Using his tongue, Yoshi can swing up to a tiny wooden orb with the Launch Star. This planet is almost physically identical to the [[Good Egg Galaxy#Tower Planet|Tower Planet]] in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] in the [[Super Mario Galaxy|first game]], except for a bone-like platform at the bottom and a few blue springboards. This planet is also one of three planets that appear on the cover of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

===Fossil Planet===
[[File:YSG3.PNG|thumb|200px|left|Mario and Yoshi approaching the Fossil Planet.]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
After using the Launch Star from the Yoshi Tower Planet, the player and Yoshi will arrive on this large planet. There is a Midway Point in front of where the player and Yoshi landed. This planet is infested with [[Scuttlebug]]s and [[Paragoomba]]s, both of which can be a nuisance at some points. The player and Yoshi can navigate through the planet by jumping between the blocks, using the flower grapples, pulling moveable blocks, and using the moving platforms. By using the flower grapples, the player and Yoshi can reach the top area where the Power Star is trapped in crystal.

===Spiny Shooting Planet===
[[Image:YSG7.PNG|thumb|200px|Mario and Yoshi on the Central Shape Planet.]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
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 [[Midway Point|Checkpoint Flag]]. Enemies here include a [[Lakitu]] and several [[Spiny|Spinies]] which the Lakitu spawns. There are also three cages, two of them containing [[Star Bit]]s, 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 eating and spitting out a [[Spiny]] towards one of the cages.

[[File:YSG4.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Mario and Yoshi on the Solar System Planet.]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
During the second mission, [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] can land on this planet when using the [[Launch Star]] in midair after beginning to blast off from the Central Shape 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 [[Berry|Berries]]. Mario and Yoshi can use the Launch Star on the planetoid located at the top to blast off to the next planet.

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.

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.

|mission1=[[Saddle Up with Yoshi]]
The player begins the level on the Main Planet where there is a [[Yoshi Egg]] being protected by a barrier created by a nearby [[Magikoopa]]. The Magikoopa summons [[Goomba]]s to fight the player. They must simply defeat the Magikoopa to be rid of the Goombas and destroy the barrier guarding the egg. After breaking the Yoshi Egg, [[Yoshi]] will pop out. The player must use Yoshi to get through the Main Planet. There are tons of things to eat around the main planet. After clearing out the area, the player must travel through the muddy path leading away from the main area of the planet until they gets to a golden [[Berry]]. Yoshi must eat the berry to make a [[Launch Star]] appear leading off to the Earth Planet. The Earth Planet is covered in crystals, has a [[Midway Point]] and a [[Chance Cube]]. The player should break open one of the crystals to reveal a Launch Star, which transports the player to the Tower Planet. The Tower Planet has a path that winds up one of the big mountains, which Yoshi and the player must go up, eating or hopping over all roadblocks on the way.

|summary1=This mission's objective is to use [[Yoshi]] to climb the Fossil Planet.
Once at the top there will be a single [[Flower Grapple]]. Using Yoshi's tongue, the player must use the grapple to reach the small planet with a Launch Star. This Star takes the player to the Fossil Planet. On the Fossil Planet, there will be numerous things like drawers for Yoshi to pull open, Flower Grapples, enemies such as [[Scuttlebug]]s and [[Paragoomba]]s, and moving platforms. Mario must travel through the only path to get to the top and reach the crystal containing the [[Power Star]] sealed inside. After breaking the crystal, the player will need to use the Flower Grapples to reach it.

After visiting the galaxy for the second time, the player will find the Starting Planet, along with others, infested with [[Spinies]] and [[Lakitu]]s. The Starting Planet is also littered with cages containing different items, such as [[Star Bit]]s, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, and even the [[Teleporter (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|teleporter]] to the bonus planet. The player needs to bust open the cage containing the Launch Star, though. On the Central Shape Planet, the player will need to use Yoshi to eat a Spiny,get on top of a wooden platform and spit it at the cage with the Luma. The Luma will transform into a Launch Star. During the flight, the player can either take the Launch Star in midair to the Solar System Planet or simply go to the Marble Block Planet.
 
After reaching the top of the Marble Block Planet and breaking the cage, the player can reach the final planet. On this planet, the player will face [[Giga Lakitu]]. After he has been defeated, the player can take the [[Power Star]].

Yoshi Star Galaxy is one of the many 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 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.

Planets[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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario in the Yoshi Star Galaxy
Mario in the Yoshi Star Galaxy
The start of the Starting Planet.
Luigi, Yoshi, and the Co-Star Luma on the Starting Planet

The player will land at the beginning of a path. The pathway ahead of the start goes uphill and is filled with many Piranha Plants, Octoombas, and prickly plants. Ahead after the pathway, there is a force field around a Yoshi's Egg on a nest guarded by a Magikoopa that uniquely summons Mini Goombas. After it is defeated, the force field disappears and the Yoshi's egg can be cracked open to release Yoshi. Just up ahead of the egg's nest are some fruits and enemies that Yoshi can eat for Star Bits. To the left of the fruits is a small hill with a Comet Medal on top. There is a small waterfall with a rushing current nearby as well. To the right are several terraces of land which contain Crystals and Flipbugs. There is also a huge volcano, where the Launch Star appears after Yoshi eats the giant golden fruit. When blasting off from the Starting Planet, the volcano will erupt similarly to the volcano in Melty Molten Galaxy from the first game, except that this volcano has smoke. In the second mission, the majority of this area is infested with Lakitus and Spinies.

Earth 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Luigi, Yoshi and the Co-Star Luma on the Earth Planet.

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, where it acts as a bonus planet and is covered in Goombas.

Tower 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

On this planet, the player and Yoshi must climb the tall tower to reach the Launch Star. There are Piranha Plants and prickly plants which cover up most of the pathways, but can be eaten by Yoshi. At the top, there are Octoombas and a flower. Using his tongue, Yoshi can swing up to a tiny wooden orb (using the flower) with the Launch Star. This planet is almost physically identical to the Tower Planet in the Good Egg Galaxy in the first game, except for a bone-like platform at the bottom and a few blue springboards. This planet is also one of three planets that appears on the cover of Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Fossil 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

After using the Launch Star from the Yoshi Tower Planet, the player and Yoshi will arrive on this large planet. The player will find a Checkpoint Flag shortly after landing. This planet is infested with Spanglers and Paragoombas. The player and Yoshi can navigate through the planet by jumping between the blocks, using the flowers, pulling moveable blocks, and using the moving platforms. By using the flowers, the player and Yoshi can reach the top area where the Power Star is trapped in a crystal.

Spiny Shooting 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario and Yoshi on the Spiny Shooting Planet.

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[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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario and Yoshi on the 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 coins 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[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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario and Yoshi on the 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 Bits. 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[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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario and Yoshi on the 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 infinite Flutter Jump glitch towards the dark clouds in the background mid-battle, they would get electrocuted and fall into the abyss. Trying to infinite flutter away from the planet during a battle with King Lakitu results in the player losing a life.
