Traveling the Galaxies
You’ll control Mario as he ventures from the Comet Observatory out into wild and alien galaxies to collect all of the scattered Power Stars.
Look for Power Stars
Mario will explore many galaxies. In most galaxies, you will need to do many things to find a Power Star. When you obtain the star at the end of a mission,
you will open up the next mission in that galaxy, if Power Star there are any.

Galaxy Screen
When your life meter reaches zero from getting hit by enemies, thorns, or other dangerous things, or if you fall into a black hole, the number of your remaining lives will go down by one. If you lose your life while you have zero remaining lives, the game will end and you will return to the title screen. Information other than your life meter will appear
themselves, collecting information from Lumas as you go. When you collect the Grand Star in the last galaxy of one dome, the next dome will open.
