The Snow Cap Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. It is a galaxy that has Mario chase down Star Bunnies on a snow-covered planet. The Fire Flower makes an appearance in this galaxy. It is accessed via the Hungry Luma next to the Garden, which only appears after The Sinking Lava Spire has been completed.

Missions[]

Star Bunnies in the Snow[]

Mario must catch three Star Bunnies within a 150 second time limit. Succeeding rewards Mario with a Power Star. If he fails he loses a life and has to try again.

Glass Planet[]

This is a see-through, spherical glass planet with solid areas on the north and south poles. The south pole has a Green Shell, which must be used to open a treasure chest on the north pole to reveal a Sling Star, taking Mario to the next planet.

Snow Cap Planet[]

This is the main planet of the galaxy. It is cylindrical, with mechanical-looking areas on the ends and snow surrounding the middle portion. The snow can be removed with your cursor by moving it around your screen, but it will reappear after a little while. Multiple mounds of snow and snowmen are in the snow patches. There are some Flipswitch Panels scattered in the snow, and when they are all pressed a hole on one end opens up, revealing a Fire Flower. There is a path without snow connecting the two ends, which is where the Star Bunny hunt begins.

Star Bunny Locations[]

  • One of the Star Bunnies is found inside a hole in the snow. Wiping away the snow with your cursor will reveal it, and Mario can then chase it.
  • One of them is found inside a snowman. Mario must press all the Flipswitch Panels and use the Fire Flower to melt it, revealing the rabbit.
  • The final Star Bunny is inside a treasure chest at one end, which can be opened via a Green Shell found inside another snowman.

A strategy to help catch the bunnies is to lure them into the holes on the ends, so they cannot escape. Hitting all of the Flipswitch Panels right away will help with this.

Trivia[]

  • This galaxy requires the most Star Bits in the game to unlock (1600).
