Revision as of 12:18, September 19, 2009
Honeyhive Galaxy, also known as the Honeyhive Kingdom, is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. It is full of flowers, Honey Walls, and friendly bees. The kingdom and its bee subjects are ruled by the Queen Bee. Mario will use the Bee Mushroom here for the first time. It is here that he learns how to use the Bee Suit and is now able to fly and stick on honeycombs.
Planets/Areas
Starting Planet
The first Planet that Mario always starts on contains many Bees, some Boulders, and, sometimes, Mandibugs. This planet is where the first Bee Mushroom is located. There are also some red flying insects on this planet, and a large waterfall in the back. The area behind the waterfall has honey all over the floor, with a Launch Star leading to the Flower Planet. There is a treetop here that 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 a button with a Wiggler around it. Pressing it leads the player to the side of the Starting Planet, an area with boxes on them and a Launch Star leading to the Hat Planets. In Mission 3, Queen Bee will be behind the water, asking for Mario's assistance. A Launch Star will then appear, taking the player to the Bugaboom Planet.
Flower Planet
The Flower Planet is an area that has flowers on the top of it, including a very big one at the end. The big flower contains a Launch Star that will take Mario to the Queen Bee Planet. There are also fountains of water in between the flowers, turning Bee Mario back to normal if he touches them. This planet has cricets and rock spitting enemys.
Queen Bee Planet
This planet starts out with a Honey Wall that Bee Mario must climb. At the top, he will ride a vine leading to Queen Bee. This planet is fill with more fountains and water. After Mario finds all the Star Chips on Queen Bee, he will find a Launch Star that takes him to a treetop on the Starting Planet.
Hat Planets
This area can be found in Mission 2. It has two planets shaped like hats, containing Wigglers and Piranha Plants on them. The Sling Star will take the player to the Rattle Planet.
Rattle Planet
This planet is shaped like a rattle. On the side of the planet is a Rainbow Star that Mario can use to destroy all the enemies for tons of Star Bits. When Mario goes through the log in the middle of the planet, he will fall to the Observation Deck.
Observation Deck
The Observation Deck has Mandibugs crawling all over it, and a button that activates a Pinwheel leading to the top of the deck, which contains two Mandibugs: a Normal one and a large one. After defeating them, Mario will get a Power Star. The Observation Deck also has a few Springs and a Swing.
Bugaboom Planet
This Planet is where Bugaboom, leader of the Mandibugs lives, and it is also where Mario must fight him. There are several platforms leading to the actual planet. There are several bee Mushrooms here, and a small Honey Wall that Bee Mario can climb. When Bugaboom is defeated, a Power Star appears.
Enemies
Levels
Bee Mario/Luigi Takes Flight!
Mario will begin this level and all others on the largest planet in the Honeyhive Galaxy. Mario needs to follow the path up the hill to a ? Coin, which reveals the game's first Bee Mushroom. The player has to collect the powerup and fly up the nearby ledges. (Do note that the Mushroom is not an absolute necessity at this point, but will help greatly). At the end of the tunnel is a tree stump with a hole in it. The player will have to jump down the hole and slide down the slide. Mario will have to fly and jump across the ledges with honey to reach the Launch Star. If Mario walks on the honey, he will be slowed down and his jumping power is reduced significantly. Mario will land next to a pond filled with lily pads. One of the platforms has a dandelion that Mario can spin up to gain height. The player can use the flower to reach the flower platforms in the air, and Mario will have to carefully fly across them whille avoiding the water jets to reach the Launch Star. Mario will be faced with his first honeycomb wall. Mario will have to climb up the wall to reach the pond where the Bee Queen resides. The Bee Queen is complaining about 'a horrible itching plague' (she is covered in Star Chips), so the player will have to fly over to her and climb on her to collect them. Then the player will have to use the Launch Star to end up at the top of a tree on the main planet. The leader of the Toad Brigade will present Mario with a Power Star. After the completion of this mission, Toads will walk around the Comet Observatory, and begin construction of the Starshroom.
Trouble on the Tower
Some enemies from a neighbouring planet, the Mandibugs, have taken residence in the Honeyhive Kingdom, though it is not quite a full-scale invasion. Of course, it is Mario's (or Luigi's) responsibility to put a stop to it! With the aid of a Bee Mushroom, he must climb up the enormous main planet, and traverse a few smaller ones, to end up on the Tower of the Kingdom. Mario or Luigi must find a switch and Star Spin it to let the platforms at the front of the tower spin. At the peak of the large wooden tower, Mario will find a Mandibug carrying a younger, smaller Mandibug on its back. When he ground pounds the small Mandibug, the larger one turns red with anger and charges at the player a lot faster - another ground pound is enough to defeat the angry Mandibug and take the Power Star he was guarding.
Big Bad Bugaboom
The Mandibug infestation has hit an all-time high, and it seems that to end the invasion, the leader of the Mandibugs, the ferocious Bugaboom, must be defeated. The player must traverse a small section of the main planet to get to the tree stump encountered in the first mission (though this time it has no hole in it). At this point, Queen Bee shows up and informs Mario or Luigi to take a Launch Star to the planet where Bugaboom lives, and defeat him. The boss can be defeated by ground pounding, but he is high up in the sky so assistance is necessary. Luckily, Bee Mushrooms, honey walls and the sling flowers seen in the first mission are abundant, giving the player the necessary height to defeat the increasingly angry boss to take his Power Star.
Honeyhive Cosmic Mario/Luigi Race (Cosmic Comet)
Upon entering this level, a Cosmic doppelganger of Mario or Luigi appears. Mario has to race Cosmic Mario and Luigi must race Cosmic Luigi for the star. If Cosmic Mario or Cosmic Luigi reaches the 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, in this race, he makes one vital flaw - getting stuck in the honey floor near the end of the race.
The Honeyhive's Purple Coins (Purple Comet)
100 Purple Coins have been scattered around the main planet of the Kingdom, and it is up to the Mario brothers to grab them all and save the star. This mission is notorious for being one of the longest stars in the game - a huge amount of exploration is necessary, and it is possible to accidentally die while travelling to the star - the player must be very careful, and make sure to look in every nook and cranny to find every single Coin.
Luigi in the Honeyhive Kingdom
After rescuing Luigi from the Haunted Mansion of the Ghostly Galaxy, and helping him out in the 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 hugging 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.
