Introduction
This is the Loopdeeloop Galaxy. It is a huge racing course. Once you are on the Galaxy, you have to prove yourself that you are a swimmer.

Loopdeeloop Planet
The Loopdeeloop Planet is a large planet made almost entirely of water with several coins floating in it and a few gates. It is the very first planet visited by Mario in the level Surfing 101; the only level in this galaxy. At the very beginning of the planet there is a large grassy platform with several Penguins and Coach on top of it. Coach will offer to train Mario to surf on a Manta Ray named Ray for the big race.

Once Mario completes his training he must go to the actual arena where there is a possibility that he will fall off the sides. Mario must then race down the planet on top of Ray avoding fish and getting the Coins and Star Bits. There are also numerous 1-Up Mushrooms and gates along the way. After passing the finish line Mario is automatically transported to the Prize Planet to claim victory.

Prize Planet
The Prize Planet is a large stone planet off to the side of the Loopdeeloop Planet. It is accessed automatically as soon as Mario crosses the finish line on the Loopdeeloop Planet and is the last planet in the galaxy. On one side of the planet there is a podium with three different levels labeled 1, 2 and 3. Under the number 1 on the tallest step, a carving of a Manta Ray (possibly Ray himself) shows that whoever stands on this position won the race.

Off to the other side of the planet, Coach is standing there and he congratulates Mario on achieving victory and then releases a Power Star which goes and settles on top of the center of the podium.

Terrace Planets
The Terrace Planets are numerous stone platforms floating in the air around the Loopdeeloop Planet. They are inaccessible to Mario and are covered in Penguins who are cheering him on from the sidelines. They look exactly like the Prize Planet except for the lack of the podium and Coach is not there.

Surfing 101
In this Mission, you have to prove yourself to the penguin that you're a good swimmer (or at least you can swim). Then, you practice swimming. After you've gotten the hang of it, you can now race. You have to beat the race in under 1:30 minutes. If you beat it in under 1 minute and 30 seconds, you win the power star.

1-up Mushroom
There is only 1 1-up Mushroom in this course.
