Well, why not a section of the actual climbing being an ascent up a cavern inside the mountain, and emerging considerably farther up?

It would be a nice touch to have a small slightly grassy/rocky area with a slowly increasing slope with jutting-out rocks and assorted enemies, like the Slimy Springs end or the Garden (observatory), or the Baron Brr mountain without the ice theme, but with lots of rocks. Then a Launch Star up to a middle section with a high slope, without grass, only rock. Then into the cave, starting with just darkness, water, Swoopers, and rock, but with ice slowly appearing the higher he goes. Then an icy exit near the top, with ice and rock platforming. Finally, with the Star at the summit plateau.
Each section should be relatively short to compensate for the possible difficulty.

Eh. It's supposed to be more a mountain theme than an ice theme.

I was actually thinking of bringing back the Yoshi's Island mountain hill things. Also, it's not just about climbing the actual hills, it's also about actually getting to them (possibly through a blizzard)

Okay.
Anyway, maybe the Golden Chomp should actually be rolling on a different track from the player, but weaving around and up & down and getting stopped a few times, and so that Mario's actions trigger the blockage being lowered. This'll make the star a puzzle, not a quickly-run-to-the-switch-and-lower-it-at-the-right-time thing the Chompworks used. For example, perhaps a gate could be lowered so that a Bullet Bill could smash a crystal or something blocking the Chomp on its path, or perhaps getting across a room of enemies to press a switch to lower a gate, or maybe raising a gate to block a Ledge Hammer from blocking the Chomp etc.
Essentially, the Golden Chomp won't break, but it'll stop until Mario finishes the mini-puzzle. Homing things or switches preferred.

I'd like this galaxy in general to be an actual giant factory, unlike Chompworks. If a mechanical indoors background is possible.
(Note: something like "Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword"'s Lanayru Mining Facility. Search google images, find the "indoor" looking ones, because the video is about half an hour. Pretty much, it involves a mine cart and a factory. Sand* gcchanical/time theme.)

That would be really cool. I liked the feel of how that dungeon was. The only problem with buildings is that Mario will have to PRACTICALLY get in there. Possibly like in SMG1 where the launch star made you break some glass.

Actually no the mansion was my main idea for this galaxy, and I would like to keep it as such. We literally have only 2 ghost galaxies and I think that we should use the boo mushroom in both. Also, my idea for the mansion was to show off what we could do with the camera, though it might be kinda iffy. We'll work it out

The mansion part was really just included because there's not enough ideas for a graveyard galaxy.
Out of the 3 or so ghost galaxies so far (in SMG1/2), all of them have been mansions, disconnected things floating in space, or weird-looking planets.
In my opinion, one mansion star is enough, and that's only because it's supposed to be a haunted blasted-apart mansion, not a regular haunted one.
