Missions
Rock and Rollodillo
To get the Power Star, Mario must first get the Rock Mushroom trapped in a glass cage in the first planet. To do so, he has to defeat the three Octoombas protecting it. After getting the Mushroom, Mario will transform into Rock Mario, which allows him to roll and break things.
To process, the plumber has to use his Rock form to hit the rised bridge and make it fall. Then, he should bowl over the Pinhead and process to the next planet. Here, he has to get to the Launch Star trapped in a glass cage. To do so, he must defeat all the Octoombas found in this planet. When using the Launch Star, he'll find himself on a planet with a Luma who tells him that if he uses the shiny spots on the ground, he'll gain some health. To proceed, he has to use his Rock Form again and break the giant purple Crystal where the next Launch Star is trapped. After using it, he'll get to a yellow crystal planet with a Midway Point and a Launch Star which blasts him to the boss planet.
After defeating Rollodillo, he'll be defeated and leave a Power Star which Mario has to get.
C'mere, Goomba
To unlock this mission, Mario must get a letter from Gold Gearmo saying that he needs help in Boulder Bowl Galaxy. After reading the letter, Mario has to go to this galaxy and make his way to the Boulder Planet. He'll find Gold Gearmo searching for a Goomba. The plumber can find one by breaking one of the rock spikes found on this planet. He can do so by using his Rock Form. When the Goomba comes out, he'll chase Mario. Mario must lead the Goomba to Gold Gearmo's trap. With the enemy caught, Gearmo will thank Mario and reward him with a Power Star.
Rolling Crabber Romp
Mario has to go to this galaxy when the Prankster Comet is unlocked. He'll end up on the Cage Planet that, this time, is full of thirty Crabbers. Mario has sixty seconds to defeat all of them using the Rock Mushroom. If done so, he'll be granted with a Power Star.
Green Star 1
Instead of getting the Rock Mushroom, and knocking the bridge down, use the sides to wall jump. At the top, will be the Green Star 1. If Mario knocks down the bridge then there will be no way to get to the Green Star and the Player must restart the Galaxy.
Green Star 2
Get the Rock Mushroom, and knock the bridge down. However, instead of rolling up the ramp, walk up it. Green Star 2 is floating in the air right behind it.
Green Star 3
Get the Rock Mushroom, knock the bridge down, and use the ramp. This time, search the edges until finding Green Star 3. It will be floating in the air. Template:Endspoiler
