Chapter 3: Gateway Galaxy
Mission 1: Grand Star Rescue
BOOM! Mario lands on the first planet to start off his brand-new galactic adventure. Upon entry is another Luma there waiting…
"Hi there, Good to see you!" said the Luma. "I have some bad news though." "See, I HAD a Launch Star all ready for you, but a meteor smashed it up!" continued the Luma. "You can't leave without it, so find all the Star Chips to fix it." "Oh and be sure to not fall in the black hole!" finished the Luma.
Following the instructions, Mario smashes through the many crystals on the planet finding coins and a 1-Up mushroom on a high rock stump…
"Where are all those star chips?" said the Luma in the background.
Defeating a couple of goombas and dodging meteors as well he then finds all 5-star chips and they combine to form the next Launch Star…
"Yay, the Launch Star is ready to go now!" said the Luma. "Spin to blast off!"
SPIN! POW!
"In trouble?" said the Luma as Mario blasts off. "Spin!"
The next planet instantly seen in view we find shock wave generators that stun enemies in range and a Luma trapped inside a glass dome case…
"Get me out of here!" said the trapped Luma. "One of those enemies should have the key!" "You can spin to make them dizzy." finished the Luma. "Once they're stunned, just run into them!"
Mario spins and smacks the shock wave generator taking out all enemies at once finding the key. The dome disappears releasing the captured Luma from inside…
"Thanks, would you mind rescuing my buddy in that base up there too!?" said the freed Luma. "I'll transform into a sling star." finished the Luma. "Just jump into me after I… TRANSFORM!"
POOF! The luma transforms into a sling star which is a small version of a Launch Star that takes you to neighboring places…
SPIN! BLING!
"Spin enemies!" said the other trapped Luma who is also floating over a pipe. "Then run into them when they're stunned to boot them!"
Collecting more star bits and smashing more crystals with items inside Mario goes to the next generator with a Mega Goomba walking near it. Pretty obvious this one would have the key so let's move on ahead…
"Hurry!" said the Luma. "Down here!"
Exiting the pipe Mario is inside the planet where a giant machine is seen on top of another glass dome with a giant power star inside. Surrounding the dome and planet's inside are a bunch of flip switch panels…
"We've been waiting for you!" said the Luma. "That's a Grand Star and we have to save it!" "They're using the Grand Star to power that awful machine!" continued the Luma. "It looks like it's making…something." "We have to do something before the Grand Star's power is drained!" finished the Luma. "Quick, find a way to stop that terrible machine!"
Mario sprints with blinding speed dodging enemies and the many long electric platforms moving across the area and surrounding panels as he shuts them off one by one. Making his way to the machine there is a final square ring of panels left around the Grand Star and a Luma…
"Turn off the flip switches on the floor to shut down this machine!" said the Luma beside the star.
The last set of panels now shut off the machine shrinks down and disappears releasing the Grand Star that sparkles and glows a bright shiny yellow.
"Thank You!" said the Luma beside the star. "Now go save the Grand Star!"
"You did it!" said the other luma at the entrance. "Now hurry and take the grand star back to our Mama!"
"Hurry the Grand Star!" said the Luma beside the star.
Mario jumps up and grabs the Grand Star. As the victory music plays Mario flies around the star then spins it around twice before grabbing it and raising it up high…
"Take the grand star back to our Mama!" said the other Luma.
YOU GOT A GRAND STAR!
