'''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, and gives the galaxy its name (the word "hightail" means to move quickly). 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]]'' for the [[SNES]].

At the start there is a bridge with a [[Paragoomba]] that must be crossed. After crossing, Mario must crack a [[Yoshi Egg]] to release Yoshi.

The ramp is the second planet of the galaxy. It is split into two halves: if Mario takes the left side up, he'll find [[Penguru]] at the top, who will advise Mario to get as many coins as possible. If Mario aims the camera to the left of Penguru, the player can collect a lot of [[Star Bit]]s. The right side is shorter in length and easier to navigate, and ends with a [[Launch Star]].

Two different types of platforms exist here: solid, unmoving blocks, and grey, touch-sensitive plates. The latter will fall after a short time after Mario and Yoshi have stepped upon them. Few coins litter the course, located only upon the touch-sensitive platforms. The level's [[Teleporter (SMG2)|Teleporter]] is located here as well.

When Mario arrives on this planet, he has to get Yoshi out of the Yoshi Egg. He has to guide him to the [[Dash Pepper]] so he can cross the slope and use the [[Launch Star]] located at the end of it.

After using it, Mario and Yoshi arrive at the [[#Giant Ramp Planet|Giant Ramp Planet]], where they must again collect a Dash Pepper to traverse the slope.

After crossing the bridge to the [[#Left Turn Slope Planet|Left Turn Slope Planet]], Mario and Dash Yoshi need to go up the slope and make a left turn at the top.

At the top of the planet, a sharp U-turn has to be made; the [[Power Star]] resides at the top right section of the bottom segment of the planet.

“Climb fast!”
—Whittle, Super Mario Galaxy 2

The 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 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. The music heard in the galaxy is an orchestrated arrangement of the athletic theme from Super Mario World for the SNES.

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. Template:BoxTop

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. Template:BoxTop

Mario and Yoshi approaching the Falling Platforms Planet.

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. Template:BoxTop

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.

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 Flower Grapples to reach the U-Turn Slope Planet. Template:BoxTop

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

Once Mario and Yoshi cross the gap via Flower Grapples, 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. Template:BoxTop

Missions

Hot-Stepping Dash Pepper

File:HTFG M1.png
Mario and Yoshi about to get the Power Star.

When Mario arrives on the Starting Planet, he has to get Yoshi out of the Yoshi Egg by jumping on it. Mario must then ride Yoshi to the Dash Pepper and have him eat it to turn into Dash Yoshi so they can cross the slope and use the Launch Star located at the end of it. After using it, Mario and Yoshi arrive at the Giant Ramp Planet, where they must again collect a Dash Pepper to traverse the slope. The Launch Star is located on a platform to the right. After the Launch Star blasts them off, Mario and Yoshi land on the Falling Platforms Planet. To get across, Yoshi has to eat a Dash Pepper again. The Launch Star can be found at the end of the planet.

After using it, Mario and Yoshi are led to the Double Slope Planet. Mario and Dash Yoshi must run across the slope to the other side while avoiding pegs. After crossing the bridge to the Left Turn Slope Planet, Mario and Dash Yoshi need to go up the slope and make a left turn at the top. After crossing a few Flower Grapples thereafter, Mario and Yoshi end up on the U-Turn Slope Planet, where Yoshi has to eat one more Dash Pepper. At the top of the planet, a sharp U-turn has to be made; the Power Star resides at the top right section of the bottom segment of the planet.

The Speedy Comet must be in orbit in order to access this mission.
