'''Hightail Falls Galaxy''' is a galaxy that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' for the [[Wii]]. The bulk of the galaxy accommodates the use of the [[Dash Pepper]], which allows [[Yoshi]] to scale walls and steep slopes. The background in the galaxy features high waterfalls and rocks. Additionally, the music heard in the galaxy is an orchestrated arrangement of the "Athletic" theme from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. The music goes fast when the Dash Pepper is used.

The '''Hightail Falls Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' for the [[Wii]]. This galaxy introduces the [[Dash Pepper]], and the bulk of the galaxy accommodates its use, which transforms [[Yoshi]] into [[Dash Yoshi]] and allows him to scale walls and steep slopes; it is from this that the galaxy derives its name (the word "hightail" meaning "move quickly"). The background of this galaxy consists of several large waterfalls cascading over rocks.
 
==Planets/Areas==
'''NOTE''': Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.


==Planets==
===Starting Planet===
===Starting Planet===
This planet has two [[Whittle]]s, [[Luigi]], a [[Yoshi Egg]], and the [[Dash Pepper]].
[[File:SMG2 Hightail Falls Starting Planet.png|200px|thumb|[[Mario]] on the {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}.]]
On the Starting Planet, there is a small rope bridge, in the middle of which is a single [[Paragoomba]]. After crossing the bridge, Mario must crack a [[Yoshi Egg]] to release Yoshi. Mario and Yoshi must move up a near-vertical ramp by using a Dash Pepper to turn Yoshi into Dash Yoshi. After the ramp flattens out, there are a set of [[platform]]s that fall and then a second ramp, after which is a [[Launch Star]].
{{br}}


===Giant Ramp Planet===
===Giant Ramp Planet===
It's just a hupe ramp. If [[Mario]] takes the left side up, he'll find [[Penguru]].
[[File:SMG2 Hightail Falls Giant Ramp Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario approaching the {{conjectural|Giant Ramp Planet|planet}}.]]
This large ramp comprises the second planet of the galaxy. The planet itself has two main paths. If Mario takes the left path upward, he finds [[Penguru]] at the top, who advises Mario to collect as many [[Coin]]s as possible; if Mario aims the camera to the left of Penguru, he can collect many [[Star Bit]]s. The right path is shorter in length and easier to navigate, and ends with a Launch Star.
{{br}}


===Falling Platforms Planet===
===Falling Platforms===
[[File:SMG2 Hightail Falls Falling Platforms Area.png|200px|thumb|Mario and [[Yoshi]] approaching the {{conjectural|Falling Platforms|area}}.]]
The Launch Star from the Giant Ramp Planet leads Mario to this planet, where Yoshi must incorporate the Dash Pepper's speed capabilities to quickly race across the falling platforms of the planet. Two different types of platforms exist here: solid, unmoving blocks, and grey, touch-sensitive plates. The latter will fall a short time after Mario and Yoshi have stepped on them. Few Coins litter the expanse, found only on touch-sensitive platforms. The mission's [[Teleporter (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|Teleporter]] is located here as well.
{{br}}


===Double Slope===
===Double Slope Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Hightail Falls Double Slope Planet.png|thumb|200px|left|Mario and Yoshi nearing the {{conjectural|Double Slope Planet|planet}}.]]
After Mario and Yoshi get past the Falling Platforms Planet, they end up on this planet. Yoshi must eat a Dash Pepper and run up the left ramp. After navigating the turns, along with the various pegs protruding from the surface, they end up on the other side, where there is a bridge that connects this planet to the Left Turn Slope Planet.
{{br}}


===Left Turn Slope===
===Left Turn Slope Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Hightail Falls Comet Medal.png|200px|thumb|Mario and [[Dash Yoshi]] on the {{conjectural|Left Turn Slope Planet|planet}}.]]
After crossing the bridge from the Double Slope Planet, Mario and Yoshi end up on this small, yet difficult, slope. To the right of the slope is a [[Hungry Luma]] who transforms into the Kleptoad Planet if fed thirty Coins. Yoshi needs to eat a Dash Pepper in front the slope to be able to run up it. There is one big moving platform and a sharp left turn at the top; the [[Comet Medal]] is located at this turn. After the two reach the other end, they must use the [[Flower (grapple)|flower]]s to reach the U-Turn Slope Planet.
{{br}}


===U-Turn Slope===
===U-Turn Slope Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Hightail Falls U-Turn Section.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario and Dash Yoshi running along the {{conjectural|U-Turn Slope Planet|planet}}.]]
Once Mario and Yoshi cross the gap via flowers, they end up on this final slope. This slope proves challenging because Mario and Yoshi need to make a sharp U-turn at the top, and because there are many blocks that protrude from the slope and act as obstacles. The [[Power Star]] is located on top of a diamond-shaped block.
{{br}}


===Grassy Planet===
===Kleptoad Planet===
[[File:Grassy Hightails.png|200px|thumb|Mario and Yoshi looking for [[Silver Star]]s on the {{conjectural|Kleptoad Planet|planet}}.]]
After feeding the Hungry Luma thirty [[Coin]]s, it flies off into the distance and transforms into this planet. The planet is spherical and has a mixture of grassy and dirt terrain. The player must track down the [[Kleptoad]]s that inhabit this planet in order to find five of them that are carrying one of five [[Silver Star]]s. After recovering all five Silver Stars, they turn into a Power Star.

The player repeats the [[Hot-Stepping Dash Pepper]] mission. This time, they must make their way to the [[#Left Turn Slope Planet|Left Turn Slope Planet]]. The player must use Dash Yoshi to get to the top of the slope. However, instead of making a left turn, the player must go out of boundaries on the top portion and [[Flutter Jump]] to the purple block. The Green Star is floating in the air on the right and must be obtained by using a Flutter Jump.

After the Launch Star blasts off the two heroes, they'll get to a planet with black falling platforms. To get across, Yoshi has to eat a Dash Pepper again. The Launch Star can be found at the end of the level.
====Green Star 3====
[[File:SMG2 Hightail Falls Green Star 3.png|thumb|200px|Mario and Yoshi about to get the final Green Star.]]
The player repeats the [[Hot-Stepping Dash Pepper]] mission. They must make their way to the [[#Left Turn Slope Planet|Left Turn Slope Planet]] once again. However, they need to use Dash Yoshi to reach the end of the planet and the area with the [[Flower (grapple)|flower]]s. The Green Star is floating in the air to the right of the flowers. The player has to climb to the top of the grapples and execute a perfectly-timed Flutter Jump to obtain the Green Star (or Flutter Jump and then [[jump]] off Yoshi).


After using it, Mario and Yoshi will get to the planet with the Power Star on it. Mario, has to use Dash Yoshi to cross the slopes and the ramps found in this planet, and then use Yoshi's tongue to reach the daisies found in bubbles. After using the Dash Pepper again, Yoshi has to make his way to the [[Power Star]] by walking on walls.
According to page 82 of the [[Prima Games]] guide, this Green Star was originally located at the top-left corner of the Left Turn Slope Planet, floating in mid-air beside the pole above the upper blue ramp. The player would have had to steer Dash Yoshi off the wall's top-left corner to collide with the Green Star.


===Hightail Falls Speed Run===
;Planets visited
This mission is the same as the first one, only there is a time limit of three minutes. Mario and Yoshi have to get the Power Star within three minutes. It's also more difficult as meteors fall and the platforms are partially destroyed.

The Hightail Falls Galaxy is a galaxy that appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Wii. This galaxy introduces the Dash Pepper, and the bulk of the galaxy accommodates its use, which transforms Yoshi into Dash Yoshi and allows him to scale walls and steep slopes; it is from this that the galaxy derives its name (the word "hightail" meaning "move quickly"). The background of this galaxy consists of several large waterfalls cascading over rocks.

Planets/Areas[edit]

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.

Starting Planet[edit]

Mario on the Starting Planet.

On the Starting Planet, there is a small rope bridge, in the middle of which is a single Paragoomba. After crossing the bridge, Mario must crack a Yoshi Egg to release Yoshi. Mario and Yoshi must move up a near-vertical ramp by using a Dash Pepper to turn Yoshi into Dash Yoshi. After the ramp flattens out, there are a set of platforms that fall and then a second ramp, after which is a Launch Star.

Giant Ramp Planet[edit]

Mario approaching the Giant Ramp Planet.

This large ramp comprises the second planet of the galaxy. The planet itself has two main paths. If Mario takes the left path upward, he finds Penguru at the top, who advises Mario to collect as many Coins as possible; if Mario aims the camera to the left of Penguru, he can collect many Star Bits. The right path is shorter in length and easier to navigate, and ends with a Launch Star.

Falling Platforms[edit]

Mario and Yoshi approaching the Falling Platforms.

The Launch Star from the Giant Ramp Planet leads Mario to this planet, where Yoshi must incorporate the Dash Pepper's speed capabilities to quickly race across the falling platforms of the planet. Two different types of platforms exist here: solid, unmoving blocks, and grey, touch-sensitive plates. The latter will fall a short time after Mario and Yoshi have stepped on them. Few Coins litter the expanse, found only on touch-sensitive platforms. The mission's Teleporter is located here as well.

Double Slope Planet[edit]

Mario and Yoshi nearing the Double Slope Planet.

After Mario and Yoshi get past the Falling Platforms Planet, they end up on this planet. Yoshi must eat a Dash Pepper and run up the left ramp. After navigating the turns, along with the various pegs protruding from the surface, they end up on the other side, where there is a bridge that connects this planet to the Left Turn Slope Planet.

Left Turn Slope Planet[edit]

Mario and Dash Yoshi on the Left Turn Slope Planet.

After crossing the bridge from the Double Slope Planet, Mario and Yoshi end up on this small, yet difficult, slope. To the right of the slope is a Hungry Luma who transforms into the Kleptoad Planet if fed thirty Coins. Yoshi needs to eat a Dash Pepper in front the slope to be able to run up it. There is one big moving platform and a sharp left turn at the top; the Comet Medal is located at this turn. After the two reach the other end, they must use the flowers to reach the U-Turn Slope Planet.

U-Turn Slope Planet[edit]

Mario and Dash Yoshi running along the U-Turn Slope Planet.

Once Mario and Yoshi cross the gap via flowers, they end up on this final slope. This slope proves challenging because Mario and Yoshi need to make a sharp U-turn at the top, and because there are many blocks that protrude from the slope and act as obstacles. The Power Star is located on top of a diamond-shaped block.

Kleptoad Planet[edit]

Mario and Yoshi looking for Silver Stars on the Kleptoad Planet.

After feeding the Hungry Luma thirty Coins, it flies off into the distance and transforms into this planet. The planet is spherical and has a mixture of grassy and dirt terrain. The player must track down the Kleptoads that inhabit this planet in order to find five of them that are carrying one of five Silver Stars. After recovering all five Silver Stars, they turn into a Power Star.
