Now that all the Sprixie Princesses are freed from Bowser, we can go to a new area with a Rocket crafted by the Sprixie Princesses, and the new area is World Star. One of the levels is inspired by Super Mario Galaxy, and there is a surprise when going through that level.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

I have defeated Bowser and saved the Sprixie Kingdom, and now the Sprixie Princesses have constructed a Rocket which will take us to a new bonus world, which has some Super Mario Galaxy references, and a bunch of cameo appearances.
First level is Rainbow Run, the main mechanic is those rainbow paths from platforms to rolling platforms, and Plessie makes another appearance. Our first cameo appearance in World Star is the floor tiles accessed with the Cloud Cannon, and when you light up all the tiles, it will be an 8-bit sprite of Link from the Legend of Zelda series, and a remix of the Legend of Zelda theme song plays, so that is a good detail.
Now this is where things get interesting, Super Galaxy, doesn't have Mario in the middle of the name, is what you would expect, it is based off Super Mario Galaxy, with Rotating Panels and the common enemies being the Octoombas, or Octogoombas from Super Mario Galaxy, and Lumas make an appearance. The one thing I do not like about this level is that there are no power-ups and the Cat Suit is required for the Stamp of this level, otherwise it is very tricky. I wonder if Shigeru Miyamoto is being stingy about this, because this level is very difficult without power-ups, and they don't even provide them. At the end of the level, the Comet Observatory can be seen in the background and Rosalina makes a cameo appearance.
It turns out that it is not a cameo, Rosalina is the fifth playable character in the game, and you unlock her by completing the level. What sets Rosalina apart from the other playable characters is that she can use Spin attacks when she doesn't have any power-ups, so I feel like this level was best suited for Rosalina than any of the others, she can jump higher, but not higher than Luigi, and she sprints the soonest, the second being Peach. Rosalina is the slowest runner out of the five, once again Peach being the second, and the downside to Rosalina is that she loses the Spin attack when she has a power-up, like a Fire Flower.
The third level of World Star is Rolling Ride Run, and this level isn't too difficult as you have the rolling cylinders as the main mechanic of that level, and there is a Character Switch that only Rosalina can activate, and there is only one Double Cherry in this level for the Multi-Vator, or you can just do 2 players to activate it. I do like how good Rosalina is in levels with limited power-ups, because that is the one thing that sets her apart from Mario and the others.
