Bee Mario Takes Flight
Template:Missionbox Bee Mario Takes Flight (known as Bee Luigi Takes Flight when using Luigi) is the first Power Star in the Honeyhive Galaxy.
Mission
This mission (as well as the rest in this galaxy) starts on the largest planet in the Honeyhive Galaxy. The player must take the path up the hill with a ? Coin, which makes the Bee Mushroom appear when obtained. The Bee Mushroom must be collected in order to fly up to the nearby ledges. A tree stump that has a hole in it is found at the end of a tunnel after reaching said ledges. The player must fall down the hole and use the slide. Following this, there is a path way with honey puddles that must be traversed in order to reach a Launch Star. The next planet is a pond filled with lily pads, and one of the platforms has a Fling Flower that is used to spin up and gain height. This flower is also used to reach some spinning flower platforms, which must then be crossed while avoiding the water jets to reach another Launch Star. The first honey wall is encountered after reaching the Launch Star. Once the wall is climbed, the Queen Bee is encountered. She starts to complain about a horrible itching plague, and asks the player to find the source of her itch, which turn out to be Star Chips. Then, using a Launch Star leads the player to the top of a tree on the Starting Planet. The leader of the Toad Brigade presents the player with a Power Star. When this mission is completed, the Toad Brigade appears on the Comet Observatory.
It is possible to do a huge skip in this mission. There is a glitch that allows players to climb slopes by backflipping onto them, then continuously holding forward and jumping while sliding, then holding back and spinning, or by simply walking up slopes while continuously spinning. The player can use this method to climb the slope at the beginning of the galaxy, then walk towards a fence at the back of this area, then climb up the fence to a circular platform where the Wiggler would be in the second mission. They can then backflip and spin to a small walkway near the top, then use the slope climbing glitch to climb the slope and backflip and spin towards the wall-jump section from the second mission. The player should then wall-jump up the two pillars, then backflip and spin from one of them to get on top of the first tree. The player should slope climb up the tree until they reach the top and will then begin belly-sliding off the edge. Once the player reaches the edge, the camera angle will switch and the player should quickly spin before falling off the tree. They should then wall-jump and spin off the side of the second tree, then slope climb up the rest of the way and skip straight to the platform at the end with the Toad Brigade.
