Mario and Luigi will initially land on the grassy starting planet where blue Octoombas are found. He should then manoeuvre himself to the bottom of the planet where Goombas and Slurples are found. Multiple Item Crystals with Star Bits and a single ? Block filled with Star Bits are also found here, along with a constant stream of comets that fall on this planet that make Star Bits appear. Mario or Luigi should find a pathway that twists the gravity a little bit before reaching a Luma that transforms itself to a series of Pull Stars. Using these Pull Stars, Mario or Luigi can then access a Launch Star, which will launch them to the pear planet. Here, he can find Item Crystals with Star Bits, Goombas, and thorny flowers. This planet has a Launch Star that will take him to the rock planet or another Launch Star that will take him to the egg planet. Should Mario or Luigi have less than 100 Star Bits at the point of launching himself from the Launch Star, ten Star Bits will appear. Once on the rock planet, Mario or Luigi has to avoid Boulders and also find Item Crystals with Star Bits in them. There is a single Sling Star here that allows Mario or Luigi to grab three more Star Bits, and also a single Coin. There is a Launch Star here that will take him to the egg planet or another Launch Star that will take him to the pear planet. Once on the egg planet, Mario or Luigi will find a Hungry Luma that needs 100 Star Bits. The egg planet has a couple of Goombas and more Item Crystals with Star Bits. There is a Launch Star here that will take him to the pear planet or another Launch Star that will take him to the rock planet.

Once the Hungry Luma has been fed 100 Star Bits, the Hungry Luma will transform into the tower planet, leaving a pink Launch Star behind. Using the pink Launch Star, Mario or Luigi can access this newborn planet. Mario or Luigi has to climb this tower planet whilst manoeuvring around thorny plants and Goombas. He can also find some Crates that break upon spinning near them on this planet. After having accessed the top of the tower planet, he will then access a Launch Star that takes him to the pill planet. The exterior of the pill planet has many Item Crystals with Star Bits, and some Octoombas. It also an empty Item Crystal that blocks the access to the interior of the planet. Upon destroying this Item Crystal, Mario or Luigi can then access the interior of the pill planet. The interior of the pill planet is laid out like a circular 2D-side scrolling area with varying gravity. The background of the area decides what gravity applies: should the background be blue, downwards gravity is in play, but if the background is red, then upwards gravity is in play. The goal here is to climb all the way to the top of the planet's interior. Once Mario or Luigi has reached the top of the interior, three Goombas and a Launch Star are found. The Launch Star here will take him to the final planet of the mission, the star planet. The star planet has five blue Star Chips that should be collected to make five Pull Stars appear. Using the Pull Stars, he can then access the Power Star of the mission.
