When using the Launch Star, the player will find themselves on a planet with a [[Luma]] who tells the, that if he uses the shiny spots on the ground, he'll gain some health. On this planet, the player has to use their Rock Form again and break the giant purple [[Item Crystal]] where the next Launch Star is trapped. After using it, they'll get to an orange crystal planet with a Midway Point, [[Lumalee]], and a Launch Star which blasts them to the boss planet.

To unlock this mission, the player must first receive a letter from [[Gold Gearmo]] saying that she needs help in Boulder Bowl Galaxy. After reading the letter, the player has to go to this galaxy and make their way to the Boulder Planet. They'll find Gold Gearmo searching for a [[Goomba]]. The player can find one by breaking one of the rock spires found on this planet where the player first land. They can do so by using their [[Rock Mario|Rock Form]]. When the Goomba comes out, it'll chase the player. They must lead the Goomba to Gold Gearmo's trap. It's also wise to destroy the Boulders before grabbing the Goomba so it doesn't get crushed. With the enemy caught, the Gold Gearmo will thank the player and reward them with a [[Power Star]]. If all the Goombas are crushed or defeated by the player then the player will have to restart the mission.

Some planets included in the galaxy are made of rocks, soil and steel platforms. Bowling pin-like enemies called Pinheads are found in the galaxy, which Mario can bowl over by rolling over them in his boulder form. Rollodillo is fought here. The music in the level is the same as in Spin-Dig Galaxy.

The starting planet has a glass cage with a Rock Mushroom in it which is guarded by three Elite Octoombas. Two members of the Toad Brigade are found here. The planet also has a huge purple Crystal, where the Comet Medal is trapped inside. A giant, raised bridge that, after been dropped, can help the player access an area with Pinheads is also located here. The area has a ramp that leads the player to the next planet. A little bit beyond the Comet Medal there is a 1-Up Mushroom on a ledge. There are also some rock spikes. They either give the player some Coins, Star Bits, or Enemies.

Rolling Rocks Planet[edit]

This planet contains a glass cage and a Checkpoint Flag, but this time, a Launch Star is trapped inside the glass cage. The player has to defeat a group of Octoombas to open the cage. There are three Ruby Rocks rolling around the cage. The player only needs to kill the Octoguys and Elite Octoombas. The Ruby Rocks are optional to destroy as they just give the player Star Bits.
