Right after you've saved
Luigi in the Ghostly Galaxy, you'll receive a letter from the mail-toad informing you that Luigi is stuck somewhere and needs to be rescued. Toad will show you a picture where you can see Luigi standing on a roof. He is located in the Good Egg Galaxy in the Dino Piranha Mission of Super Mario Galaxy. Upon arriving on the planet, you'll immediately spot Luigi on the roof. If you don't feel like walking all the way around, you can reach Luigi the fastest by performing a triple jump or executing a backflip with a spin at the highest point. This trick can be done with both Mario and Luigi (once you've unlocked him), but with Luigi, you can jump slightly higher, making it almost certain that you'll succeed in one go...

How do you complete the first star in the Rolling Gizmo Galaxy without using the Star Ball?
| Milan |
| 865 |
Go to the Rolling Gizmo Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy and complete the first star. At the beginning, walk without the star ball and when you reach the bridge that you have to drop, use the long jump. If that jump is not far enough, shake just to be sure. You will have come quite far by then. But then you can't go any further. It's useful to have defeated all the Goombas, so you don't have to do that with the star ball. Finish the level with the star ball, but don't collect the star just yet. You can walk quite a way back again. But you can't walk on those rails.

How do I prevent myself from ice skating in Super Mario Galaxy?
| LolxD |
| 4367 |
| 18 jaar |
When you smash something in levels where you walk on ice by hitting the controller, you immediately start skating, which can be very annoying because you might skate into an enemy or skate right off the level, leading to frustrations.
To prevent this, hold down Z on the
nunchuck before you hit. This way, you can smash something without starting to skate afterwards in Super Mario Galaxy. A real must-know if skating isn't your thing or if you've lost a life dozens of times because of this!

However, in the game, you can also find the Bee Power-Up, which transforms Mario into Bee Mario. When you then come face to face with a little mosquito, it's your turn to flee. Apparently, the mosquitoes find bees very attractive...

One of the best Mario adventures with an incredible amount of variety and very good use of the new Wii features.
