Have you ever wanted to fly around the Comet Observatory as Mario? But didn't know how? Then read on!
Steps
-
1Collect 40-50 Power Stars and open the Upper Level domes. That means you have to collect the Grand Star in Bowser Jr's Lava Reactor. 5 Grand Stars Total - Collect all enemy bases and energy spikes EXCEPT Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
- Mission: King Kaliente's Spicy Return. Beat King Kaliente before opening the Gate. If done correctly (with dodging meteors), you finally get the "Grand Star" and open the gate and the Garden.
-
2Open Gateway Galaxy's second and final mission. That doesn't mean you chase down those bunnies anymore! You can immediately go to the place where you bumped into Rosalina for the 1st Time!
-
3Talk to Rosalina, then the red Luma. She will not give you the little Luma this time, this time she'll trust Mario/Luigi to take the Red Star. This will transform you to red and black.
-
4Take the Red Star. Spin in mid-air to fly!
-
5Collect all the Purple coins. Beware! Stay safe! It is more likely to encounter enemies and thorns while having 100 Purple coins.
-
6Take the Red Power Star. You know it will earn a hungry luma right where the gate HUD is.
-
7Fly around the Comet Observatory. Once you rescued the Red Power Star, you have the ability to have a power up in the Comet Observatory.
- Fly around the Comet Observatory by jumping, then spinning in mid-air. You can go from the Observatory to the gate.
- You can even long jump, backward somersault or do a triple/multiple jumps.
- Don't fly from the observatory to the trial planet, use a Trial Launch Star, or touch any enemy or hazard.

QuestionHow do I unlock Bowser Jr.'s lava reactor?
Community AnswerEvery level is unlocked when the player reaches these two criteria: The world in which the level is must be unlocked. Lights on the floor lead to unlocked worlds. The player must have enough stars for the level. Each progressive level is locked until a certain amount of stars is reached.
Warnings
- While using Flying Mario in the Comet Observatory, be careful. You'll return to regular Mario if you touch a trial launch star.Thanks!
