How do I get the 1st star (Big Bob-omb on the Summit)?
1 of 5: This star is named after the big boss on this level.
2 of 5: You have to go fight him to get his star.
3 of 5: To beat him, you have to pick him up and throw him to the ground (use the "B" button).
4 of 5: But, you can't throw him off the edge.
5 of 5: After you throw him to the ground three times, he will surrender and give you a star.
