Hot-Stepping Dash Pepper
In this mission, the turbo pepper appears for the first time. Once you have arrived on the first planet, first go over the suspension bridge. Then take Yoshi and go up the hill until you get to the turbo pepper. Eat this one with Yoshi and you will come up the hill. watch out when you are upstairs to be about in the middle, as it goes right on. If you are too far to the right or left, you fall down. In the rest of the planet, you have to be careful not to fall down, as the turbo pepper acts all the time. When you come to Launch Star, use it. The next planet is mainly vertical. Take the turbo pepper and go up. Along the way, you can collect a large? coin that makes some coins appear. Try to stay right and also cross the “hill” to get to the Launch Star.
Use the Launch Star to get to the next planet.
The next planet is partly not fixed. Once you go on gray platforms, they fall down immediately. You still have to create the first part without a turbo pepper, but this is still easy because the platforms are not so long yet. Before the second part, collect the turbo pepper and race over the platforms. Be careful not to fall left or right. Especially with the fixed ramps you have to pay attention. Attention: On the last, falling platform, it could be that the turbo pepper is not enough and the platform falls with you. Jump to the platform in front of you in time before you crash into the depths.
Use the Launch Star to advance to the last planet.
At the beginning of the next planets there is a checkpoint. Go ahead and eat turbo peppers with Yoshi and run upstairs. Watch out here, you can easily collide with something and then fall down. Jump over the corners if you have to and dodge the poles. Once you fall down, you have almost no chance of landing down anywhere. But if you manage to “step” left or right with Yoshi, then you can save yourself. If you have made it further, go over the suspension bridge. Here you see a Hungry Luma you must address in the secret mission. But now grab the turbo pepper and run up.
Comet Medal
In a small column at the top right, the Comet Medal floats.
Take care of the movable platform. Continue with a turn to the left, careful of the obstacles! Then it goes back down and the turbo pepper loses its effect. Next you have to hang out over flowers. Once you've done that, you get to the last part. The last part is a bit tricky. You already see the star from the point where you arrived. Grab the turbo pepper and run up. Master the semicircle without bumping.
Once you have done that, run to the right and try to reach the star. This usually takes a few attempts, but at some point you hold your next star in your hands!
Hightail Falls Speed Run
Select this challenge when the Prankster Comet appears.
This mission is the same as the first mission, except that you now have only three minutes, comets fall and parts are broken off. There is no teleporter. Otherwise, everything is the same as in the first mission. There is only one tactic: Run as fast as possible. The star is in the same place again.
Silver Stars in Hightail Falls
This is a secret star in the first mission.
Collect as many coins as you can on the way to the Hungry Luma, you must have 30 coins together! When you arrive at the Hungry Luma, speak to him and give him the 30 coins. Shortly after, it turns into a planet and a pink Launch Star appears. Use it to come to the newly created planet.
On the planet you will see several beings called Blunkel. They run around the planet and possess either a Silver Star or a coin that they carry on their head. Some also carry nothing with them. Either you take Yoshi and eat her with Yoshi, you jump on her, or you make a spin. When you have collected the five Silver Stars, the Power Star appears. Collect it.
Comet Medal
Keep Dash Yoshi running up the slope with the moving platform. At the sharp left turn at the top, steer through the medal before continuing to the grapple flowers.
Green Stars — unlock requirement
Collect all 120 regular stars and defeat Bowser again to unlock the Green Star hunt. Choose the corresponding Green Star mission from this galaxy’s mission screen. Follow the detours below rather than collecting the normal mission’s ending star.
Green Star 1
On the first huge ramp, keep Dash Yoshi on the left-hand route. Avoid the obstacles and take the second Dash Pepper to maintain speed all the way to the star at the top.
Green Star 2
At the slope where the route turns left, run beyond the usual turn towards the upper edge. Flutter onto the purple block, then jump towards the green star to its right.
Green Star 3
Reach the grapple flowers near the end of the sloping course. Swing up to the highest flower, release towards the star on the right and extend the jump with Yoshi’s flutter. Dismount only if the final extra height is needed.
Check each numbered Green Star on the mission screen after collecting it. The routes finish immediately when the star is touched, including stars suspended over a gap.
