BGM: Space Junk Road (Super Mario Galaxy)
"You sure we're going the right way?" Toadette asked as they were in the Starshroom.
"Of course we are!" Captain Toad grinned. "Why wouldn't we be going the right way?"
"Because you don't have a map." Purple Toad told him.
"Oh relax, we'll be fine!" He said. "…The question is, where in the world are they?"
"I'm sure Rosalina is here somewhere… right?" Green Toad asked.
"Agh, how hard is it to find an observatory?!" Yellow Toad yelled.
"I'm sure we'll find something… hey, what's that up ahead?" Blue Toad wondered.
"Hmm?" Captain Toad looked ahead. "Looks like a galaxy up ahead!"
"Let's go take a look!" Toadette grinned.

Back at the Starship…
BGM: Starship Mario A (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
"So, hold on a second." Marisa said, sitting down and looking at Pichu. "This little guy KO's himself if he uses any of his moves?"
"That's right." Samus nodded. "He can't really properly channel his electricity properly and accidentally hurts himself all the time."
"How is he even in Smash? No, how is he even alive?"
"He's a strong little guy and he's determined to do it anyway. To him, he does it for his mother." Samus smiled and looked at Pichu playing with the Lumas. "I actually find it very sweet."
"Eh, can't argue with that, I suppose. Still, it kinda sucks that he always hurts himself."
"He's always willing to try it no matter what. He's not afraid of hurting himself, no matter the cost. If I'm in danger or not, he's always willing to risk it."
"I see." Marisa chuckled. "Stubborn little fella."
"Hmm…" Mario mused, checking out the Galaxies that popped up, consisting of Spin-Dig Galaxy, Fluffy Bluff Galaxy, and Rightside Down Galaxy, then turned around to check out everyone going about their day, and then pounded his fist into his palm. "I got it!"
A few minutes later…
"There we go." Mario said.
"You sure they'll handle it?" Samus asked.
"Yeah. I'm sure they will."
Samus chuckled. "What am I worried about, of course they will." She said and then noticed something on the map. "Hold on a second, is that a Hungry Luma?" She wondered, as the Hungry Luma flew over to the Starship.
"Hello~!" The Hungry Luma grinned. "I'd like 300 Starbits please!"
"300 Starbits?!" Cirno yelled from the side. "Are you crazy?!"
"That's nothing." Mario said, and then fired 300 Starbits at it.
"Oooh, I'm so full… I think I'm gonna TRANSFOOOOOOORM!" He yelled and quickly flew off, as a new galaxy was formed on the map.
"What just happened?" Futaba wondered.
"Lumas can transform into anything they desire. Planets, comets, galaxies, you name it." Nitori said.
"Wait, so Lumas can just turn into anything they want just like that?" Ann asked.
"Pfft! Like that could happen!" Ryuji rolled his eyes.
"See for yourself." Samus said, pointing to the map as they watched the Hungry Luma move toward the open space before it exploded, transforming into the Flip Swap Galaxy.
"WHAT?!" Ann yelled.
"What… ARE YOU FOR REAL?!" Ryuji yelled.
"Amazing… a star creature can transform into anything it desires. I believe I found my next art piece!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Huh, so that's why Vincent gets along with this guy." Sonic mused. Still find it weird that he and Chrom have the same voice though. Creepy.
"Alright, so who's going to that galaxy?" Mario asked.

At Spin Dig Galaxy…
BGM: Spin Dig Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
The Three Links, Zelda and Haru landed on the ground. "This is interesting." Zelda mused as they looked around, watching some Diggas going around.
"Wonder what that does." Link wondered as he picked up the Spin Drill and used it, going toward the other side of the planet. "WHOA! WHOOOOOOA!" He yelled and then popped out on the other side of the planet. "Phew."
"That looks fun!" Toon Link said as he and Young Link did the same.
"I want to join too!" Haru grinned.
"Hold on a second, Haru." Zelda stopped her. "I'm sensing some dark power." She said as she turned around and Cosmic Clones started appearing. "I knew it." She said as her hand caught on fire and used Din's Fire to destroy a few, but more kept coming. "Mmph. We might be here for a while."
"Oh, don't worry, I got this." Haru said, pulling out her mask. "Persona!" She yelled, turning into her Phantom Thief attire, Noir, and Astarte appeared behind her.
"Hmm?" Zelda wondered. "Do you have anything in mi-" Noir pulled out her axe. "Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed as Noir swung her axe down, hitting a Zelda Clone on the head to get rid of it as she swung her axe repeatedly on the other cosmic clones before jumping back and then shot a Toon Link Cosmic Clone with her grenade launcher, making the other Cosmic Clones stop in their tracks.
"Now, you guys be good clones and run away now… before I break every bone in your body, starting with your skulls!" Noir threatened with a raised tone in her voice, as the Cosmic Clones panicked, hugging each other and silently screaming as they ran away and disappeared. "That's what I thought!" She smiled sweetly and returned back to her normal attire.
Zelda just stared, her eyes bugging out into two white blank circles and wide as dinner plates with a horrified expression on her face. "Wh-what in the name of Hylia…" She whispered, unaware of a Piranha Plant cowering in fear behind them, and when Haru turned to look at it, it started to panic and went to dig itself a hole, making a Launch Star appear out of thin air.
"Excellent!" Haru said sweetly as she walked over to the Launch Star. "You coming, princess?"
"U-uh… r-right!" Zelda said. Sweet Hylia, what is with this girl? She thought as the Links had launched away to the Drill Zone Planet where they saw spots where they could easily drill from as they grabbed more Spin Drills, while Young Link fired Fire Arrows at the Twirlips to burn them up, and then made their way to the top of a tower and went to the Steel Ring Planet and when they landed, they made their way forward while being mindful of the yellow disappearing platforms, Link taking the lead and attacking the Twirlips that came to them and then reached the Launch Star, blasting off toward the Dirt Tower Planet, finding more Spin Drills while knocking away some Goombas as they drilled inside the planet, collecting some coins and then going to the opposite side and getting to the Launch Star.
"What's that up ahead?" Toon Link asked.
"Looks like we got ourselves a fight." Link said and then landed on the planet.

The machine lit up, looking around before letting out some steam. Digga Leg was ready for action.
BGM: Digga Leg (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
Diggaleg flipped around and dug into the ground, summoning some Diggas to distract them, but Toon Link and Young Link quickly fired arrows to destroy them. "Master!" Fi called out from the Master Sword. "I just collected data from this enemy. It is called Digga Leg. It's weakness is the cage protecting the Power Star. If you can get a few clean hits on it, you should be good."
"Well, how do we know if it's vulnerable?" Link asked.
"Probably get lucky." Young Link responded as he grabbed the Spin Drill and dug into the ground, hitting the cage with a direct hit and harming Digga Leg, forcing it to turn around and jump across the planet as Toon Link pulled out a bomb and threw it at the ground before rolling away as Digga Leg landed underneath the bomb, with it exploding at the cage, causing the machine to be erratic and then turned around, digging into the ground and summoning Diggas.
"Master! I advise that you use Urbosa's Fury."
"Got it!" Link said. Please work! He thought and then snapped his fingers, as a massive lightning bolt came down from the other side of the planet and struck Digga Leg's cage, freeing the star and having Digga Leg explode.
End BGM
"Sweet!" Toon Link exclaimed after hitting a Digga with his sword as they walked over to the Power Star and took it, then flew back to the Starship.
With Zelda and Haru…
"Okay, that's four Silver Stars." Zelda said. "Where's the last one?" She asked, and then Haru came out of the ground with a Spin Drill, with a Silver Star in her hand.
"Got it!" Haru smiled as the Silver Stars formed into the Power Star.
"Neat!" Zelda beamed as they took the Power Star and flew off with it, though Zelda kept her distance from Haru. Something about this chick was freaking her out a little.
At Fluffy Bluff Galaxy…
BGM: Fluffy Bluff Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
The Pits and Palutena landed on the ground. "Oh wow, this place looks cool!" Pit exclaimed.
"It sure does!" Palutena grinned.
"Eh, it's alright." Dark Pit said as they walked ahead and then noticed a Flaptack coming toward them as it tried to impale them with its spike on its head, but Palutena used Explosive Flame to destroy it as they walked ahead while Dark Pit decided to split up and wander around the planet while Pit and Palutena noticed two Cloud Flowers.
"Oooh, I wonder what this does?" Pit wondered as he took it, as his clothing remained the same, but there was a thin mist covering his wings, and his wreath on his head had some clouds sprinkled on it. "Oh, nothing?"
"Hold on a second. I'm seeing some mist on your wings."
"Eh? Wonder what that's all about?" Pit wondered while Palutena absorbed the Cloud Flower, as the bottom of her dress suddenly got a bit puffier as some clouds were underneath the dress while a Lakitu Cloud appeared on top of Palutena's staff.
"Fascinating…" Palutena mused as they got up to the platform and wandered ahead, with Pit seeing an Elite Octoomba as he pulled out his Palutena Bow and fired an arrow, and thansk to the Cloud Flower, a row of clouds followed the arrow, piercing through the Elite Octoomba to destroy it.
"Whoa! So that's a Cloud Flower!" Pit exclaimed.
"It sure looks like it." Palutena said. "Wonder what I could do?" She wondered as Pit fired another arrow at the cliffside to make a ramp as the two of them walked up the cloud ramp.
With Dark Pit…
Dark Pit took a Cloud Flower he found after collecting a lot of coins in the Warp Pipe behind a tree. "Wonder what this does." He mused and then absorbed it, and unlike Pit's clothing, his wardrobe changed into Pit's wardrobe, his hair changed to a light brown, but not Pit's natural hair color, his wings started getting puffy and white, and them some mist appeared in his wings and his wreath was decorated in clouds. "What happened to my look?" He asked and then looked at the reflection in the water, and then his eye started to twitch.
"Can someone tell me…. WHY I LOOK LIKE A DORK?!" He yelled, but since no one answered him, he let out a growl and used his power of flight to launch himself toward a tree, with the Cloud Flower giving him a boost of air where he landed in a Sling Star and launched to a cloud with a bunch of coins and a Hungry Luma.
"Oh hi there! I need 100 coins please!"
"And I need to get back to being myself."
"Why's that?"
"Because I look like that dorky angel that they call my twin! There's no way I am going to look like a freak!"
"Aww, I think you look rather nice. Quite a charming individual too."
"I don't want to look charming!"
"Eh, suit yourself, I guess…" The Hungry Luma shrugged as Dark Pit collected the coins and shot 100 coins directly at the Hungry Luma, where he flew off and transformed into the Cloud Tower Planet as Dark Pit flew off and landed on the bottom of the tower, grumbling to himself as he activated the Power of Flight again to get the boost he needed to grab himself the Power Star.
"Great. I got the star. Now I need to get this ridiculous look off of me before anyone else notices." He said and then flew off with the Star.
Back with Pit and Palutena…
"I wonder where Pittoo went?" Pit wondered as they landed on the Stone Mountains Planet.
"No idea." Palutena replied. "Though, I could've sworn I heard him screaming something about looking like a dork." She said.
"Really? Eh, I wouldn't worry about it." Pit shrugged and then noticed a few distraught Toads. "Hey, isn't that the Toad Brigade over there?"
"Why, so it is." Palutena said as they walked over to them.
"Huh? Oh look, it's Pit and Palutena!" Blue Toad exclaimed.
"Maybe they'll help us!" Green Toad said.
"What's wrong?" Pit asked.
"We were looking for anyone up in space and the Observatory, but we found this Galaxy instead and, now we lost out captain." Toadette said. "I think he went somewhere up there but hasn't returned yet."
"We'll go take a look." Palutena said and then opened up a Heavenly Light. "Go in here. That's where most of us are."
"Thank you!" Toadette said as they went in with the Starshroom, then they started climbing the mountain, taking out the Piranha Plants, Flaptacks and Elite Octoombas in the area before they started climbing the tree and found Captain Toad panting.
"Stupid… monkey…" Captain Toad groaned.
"You alright?" Pit asked.
"Not really. That stupid monkey challenged me to a race for that Power Star and… gah, I'm out of breath." He sighed. "I think I need to start lifting weights…"
Or maybe take that backpack off. Palutena thought to herself. "Tell you what. We'll handle the monkey, you go back to the Starship." She offered, summoning a Heavenly Light.
"Thanks." Captain Toad said as he walked into it. "…Wait, what's this about a Starshi-" The Heavenly Light disappeared with Captain Toad, and then Pit and Palutena went over to the monkey on top of the mountain.
"Oh, now isn't this somethin'?" The monkey chuckled. "An angel and some tall woman. Y'all are looking for a challenge, I take it?"
"What would this challenge be?" Pit asked.
"Simple, you catch me and I'll give you this Power Star. What do you say?" He smirked. "I won't take no for an answer so you're gonna do it anyway!"
Palutena frowned. "How about we don't do any monkey business?" She asked as she aimed her staff above him as a dark cloud appeared above him, and then a lightning bolt struck him.
"YAAAARGH! …Alright, fine. I'll give you the Power Star. I'll keep in touch." He said, handing them the Power Star and jumped away.
"What was that for?" Pit asked.
"Oh, I had this feeling he was gonna try something that'd be funny to him, but annoying for us." She said and took the Power Star. "Sadly, I think he's already devising something, so let's not worry about it for now."
"Uh, if you say so." Pit shrugged as they took off back to the Starship.

At Rightside Down Galaxy…
BGM: Rightside Down Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
Flandre and Reimu landed in a Warp Pipe and hopped off inside of the building, though they were upside down and fell to the ground. "OOOF!" Reimu groaned. "Really? Warp pipes on the ceiling?" She asked as she got up after Flandre got off of her. "Something tells me the gravity is gonna get annoying."
"Ah, I'm sure it won't be that bad." Flandre said as they hopped down and knocking the Paragoombas out while collecting a few coins as they flew over and saw a gravity field with a Swaphopper hopping around where Flandre noticed a Warp Pipe on the ceiling. "Oooh!" She grinned as she flew over on top right as Reimu hit the switch out of curiosity, and then she fell to the ceiling.
"WHOOOA!" She yelled and slammed into it. "Ow…" She groaned. "Won't be that bad, huh?"
Flandre hopped off of the Warp Pipe and spotted a Fire Flower. "Oh, I wonder what I could do with a Fire Flower?" She wondered as she took the Fire Flower and absorbed it, with her hair turning white, the crystals on her wings ignited into flames while her wings turned orange, her outfit had fire painted on it with Flandre's dress turning white and her socks turning orange with some fire painted on them and her shoes turning black. "Ooooh, sweet!" She grinned and then looked at the boxes surrounding her as she smirked and summoned her lavatein, as it ignited into flames as it turned into a gigantic fire sword as she swung it, sending out fiery shockwaves in the process and turning the whole place ablaze until she found another warp pipe, and she curiously went into it.
"Argh! Why does everyone throw away their trash here!" A Gearmo exclaimed in annoyance. "Ugh… now they're doing it in boxes! Terrific!"
"What's the problem?" Flandre asked. "I could easily destroy them in five seconds."
"Ha! Five seconds, that's a good one. This is gonna take a few minutes to-" Flandre swung her giant sword down, creating the shockwaves needed to destroy all the boxes in a few seconds. "…Get… rid… of them…"
"Ta-dah!" Flandre grinned.
"Oh my…" The Gearmo whispered before handing her a Power Star. "I'm gonna lie down for a bit."
"Thank you!" Flandre smiled and then flew off.
Back with Reimu…
"Stupid gravity…" Reimu thought to herself as she destroyed some Goombas with a Yin Yang Orb and walked further when she noticed a Fire Flower. "Ooooh! This looks promising!" She said as she took it, where her hair turned orange, her outfit turned charcoal black with red trim as some fire was painted on her chest while her ribbon was a smoky gray. Without even hesitating, she threw a fiery Yin Yang Orb at some boxes blocking her way. "Awesome!" She grinned as she flew off, knocking out any Goombas with the fireballs as she flew ahead and worked her away around the Chain Chomps and the Thwomps, grabbing a Comet Medal along the way before getting to the end, working her way through the gravity and then took the Power Star.
"Gotcha!" She said as she flew off, but then turned around and noticed the whole place was on fire. "What the…? Did I do that?" She wondered, unaware of Flandre unintentionally setting the place ablaze before she flew back to the Starship.

At Flip Swap Galaxy...
BGM: Flip-Swap Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
Peach and Daisy landed on the ground. "What is this place?" Peach wondered.
"I'm guessing it's a place with tiles." Daisy pointed out.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious." Peach teased as they walked over to the first set of tiles. "Okay, how does this work?"
Daisy rubbed her chin in thought and then had an idea as she jumped up, where the tiles flipped over. "Oh, that's interesting!"
"And a bit dangerous if we slip up." Peach said and then pulled out two Propeller Mushrooms. "Just to be safe." She said, tossing one to Daisy, both absorbing the Propeller Shrooms as both of them had jumpsuits on in their respective colors and then they started jumping to get the hang of it, using their powers just in case.
They went over to the next area, crossing carefully and then flying over the electric gates, then landing on the tiles before going into the next area, where a Chomp was rolling across it's set oath before falling into the abyss, before another Chimp came out of thin air.
Daisy whistled and then jumped up, causing the Chomp to abruptly fall into the abyss. "Ha! That's hilarious." She chuckled as they quickly made their wait to the next area where they were greeted by a few sets of Chomps, but they were able to make their way through while ending the Chomp's lives a little early while Peach also getting the Comet Medal.
"Has anyone asked Lubba what this does?" Peach asked.
"Not entirely sure." Daisy shrugged as they worked their way to the final area, where they had to go through faster electric gates, but they were able to get through them safely as they grabbed the Power Star at the end.
"Yay!" Peach beamed.
"We rock!" Daisy exclaimed, high fiving Peach and then they flew off together.
Meanwhile, somewhere else...
A ship popped out of its slipstream. "Huh?" A boy asked as he looked on the radar. "This isn't the way we were going." He said.
"Sora, did you make a wrong turn again?" A duck asked in annoyance.
"No, I'm pretty sure we went the right way. I thought it said we were heading toward that San Fransokyo world."
"I told you not to take a shortcut! You didn't listen to me!"
"Not my fault that it was a long trip!"
"Gawrsh, maybe we can find something in this area!" A dog piped up, intervening on their argument. "What's the area on the map, anyway?"
"Oh... something called Puzzle Plank Galaxy."
"WAK! GALAXY?! You took us out of our own galaxy!" The duck yelled, his face turning red with rage.
"I could've sworn we were still in our own..." The boy, Sora, mused. "Oh, what the heck! A little peek wouldn't hurt! We'll be back before you know it!"
"I hope so..." The duck grumbled, muttering some incoherent duck noises as they flew toward Puzzle Plank Galaxy.
Wouldn't be a proper remake if I didn't bring in those knuckleheads now, would it? ;)
Two things though.
One: How in the world does Smash Bros VR work?
Second: Fire Piranha Plant in Aces. First we get the regular guy in Smash, then the Venus Fire Trap in Aces... What's next? We get a Putrid Piranha Plant as a playable racer in Mario Kart 9? A Frost Piranha playable in the next 3D Mario? A Ptooie as a partner in the next Paper Mario game? An Inky Piranha Plant as an ally in the next Mario and Luigi game? I'm onto you, Nintendo!
