Going after Guppy¶

The goal of this level is to follow Guppy the orca around the course. The whole galaxy consists of a circuit like area that will loop around. Guppy will leave behind eight rings that you need to swim through. Swimming through all of them will make Guppy give you the Power Star.

Enemies¶

• Guppy - Guppy isn’t an enemy per say but is your main obstacle in this level. You need to prove your worth to him by following him as he swims through the course and pass through the rings he leaves - Making him hand over the Power star.

• Whirlpools - These are hazards you will find as you’re submerged in the water and will be pushed around by these underwater twisters. These will only serve to inconvenience you.

Faster than a Speeding Penguin¶

During this level you’ll need to compete in the penguin race and win to gain the Power Star. Speak to the red penguin to sign yourself up for the race and after you agree, you’ll be warped to the water and the race will begin.

To gain the upper hand and maintain the advantage, you should go for the shells that will be placed along the course. Not only do they make swimming easier and help you keep up with the penguins, the shells can be thrown at the penguins and tempoarily stun them. There are also boost rings placed on the course which you can use to secure your victory.

Bee Mario’s power will wear off if you touch water and considering this is the Sea Slide Galaxy it’s best to proceed with some caution.

Enemies¶

• Cosmic Mario - Cosmic Mario shares a lot of similarities with Mario in terms of shape and ability. Everything you have to your disposal, Cosmic Mario has too.
