Think Before You Shake

Template:Missionbox Think Before You Shake is the first mission of the Flip-Swap Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Layout

The entirety of the galaxy relies on the player Spinning to flip Red-Blue Panels and cross the galaxy. The first area is a series of platforms leading to a standard platform with two Goombas and an Octoomba. The second area has Electric Fences moving around the platforms, and the player needs to cross through the gaps between them to reach the end of the path. After climbing up large stair platforms, the third area has a large Chomp that will role along the red platforms, even changing the angle of its roll at the corner. After some more steps, the fourth area has many Chomps that will roll along either the red or blue platforms, so the player needs to Spin accordingly to pass by them and reach the end of the area. The final area has many Electric Fences the player needs to pass between while also jumping across gaps between the platforms. The Power Star is found at the end of this area.
