Mario... IN SPACE!Mario is on his way to visit Princess Peach so that they can observe a comet streaking past the Mushroom Kingdom together, but suddenly, Bowser returns once again to kidnap Princess Peach. The attack launches Mario into space and he awakens on a strange small planet, where he meets Rosalina, a person that protects the cosmos and living star-shaped creatures called the Lumas. After taking Mario to her Comet Observatory, she explains that Bowser has stolen all power from the Comet Observatory to fuel his army and create a new kingdom for himself. Mario must retrieve all the stars for Rosalina so the Comet Observatory can venture to the center of the universe where Bowser awaits...Released in 2007, Super Mario Galaxy is a Platform Game for Nintendo's Wii with gameplay similar to Super Mario 64, though unlike Super Mario 64 and Sunshine, the gameplay is noticeably more linear with less focus on exploration. In this game, Mario flies around from planet to planet with the help of Rosalina and the Lumas to retrieve Power Stars. There are additional gameplay elements utilizing the Wii Remote, such as spinning to attack enemies and jump higher. Power-ups return to this series, two of which are from the original game that started it all.The game is also notable for being the first Mario game to feature music played by a live orchestra. Though Mario series veteran Koji Kondo was in charge of the soundtrack, the orchestrated bits were done by Mahito Yokota, who was previously the composer for Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. As a result of working on this game, Yokota has become the go-to guy for orchestral arrangements for games that Kondo has composed for.A direct sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, was released on May 23, 2010. The game also got a high definition Updated Re-release on March 22, 2018 for the Nvidia Shield TV in China only, and on September 18, 2020 for the Nintendo Switch as part of Super Mario 3D All-Stars for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., featuring the same improvements as the Nvidia Shield TV version. | |

"Get Back Here!" Boss | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_10f5b375 | comment |
"Get Back Here!" Boss: Bowser, who will run away from the player in his battles after burning his tail on a lava core on the arena planet. Due to the small size and gravity, it's easy to head him off by walking around the planet. Major Burrows will run away from the player once popped out of the ground, though the last time, he'll chase the player faster in a rage and need to be popped out again. While it's not her entire tactic, Kamella pulls this in her rematch by moving upwards on the arena after a few hits. | |

| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_11204355 | comment |
Coup de Grâce Cutscene: Upon delivering the final hit to Bowser, a cutscene will always play of Mario delivering said final hit and its after-effect (which is usually just Bowser getting knocked back down to his castle, except after the final boss fight where he gets knocked into his own artificial star). | |

Earn Your Bad Ending | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_132e865c | comment |
Earn Your Bad Ending: A downplayed example in that it's for a level rather than the whole game. In Battlerock Galaxy and Dreadnought Galaxy, the purple coin challenges are autoscrolling levels, in which if you don't collect all the purple coins, you lose a life. If you manage to collect zero coins, unique dialogue plays, with the Gearmo who would otherwise award the star pointing out that you must have done that on purpose. | |

Antepiece | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b | comment |
Antepiece: Nearly every boss level features a game mechanic or enemies with unique defeat strategies (if the boss is a King Mook) that will be used to defeat the boss. At the very first part of Gateway Galaxy, the Baby Luma that you meet grants you the Spin Power-Up. You'll be using that a lot in these boss battles (prime examples include the Dino Piranhas and Bowser). Both of King Kaliente's encounters (Good Egg Galaxy and Bowser Jr's Lava Reactor) will see you fight some Octopus enemies (Roctos) who spit coconuts before he can proceed. Defeating them involves spinning their coconuts back into them, teaching you how to beat King Kaliente, whose fight consists of playing tennis with him when he shoots a non-flaming coconut. Mandibugs can only be defeated with a ground pound. Bugaboom is a giant-winged Mandibug, so... The only way to break the cage with the Launch Star leading up to the Megaleg fight is by luring the Bullet Bill to it. Megaleg clearly has the Grand Star protected with material that can only be destroyed via Bullet Bill. The "Kamella's Airship Attack" level revolves around throwing Koopa shells to break chests and progress through the level. Kamella is defeated by throwing the shells she summons at her. A much later mission featuring airships has you do the same thing with Bowser Jr. "Tarantox's Tangled Web" introduces the Sling Pods, particularly in the planets leading up to the fight. The only way to defeat Tarantox is by using the pods. Topmen can only be defeat when they are spun into electricity. Topmaniac is an enlarged Topman, so... Bomb Boos are introduced in Ghostly Galaxy's "Beware of the Bouldergeist" mission, and can be used to break stone. Guess what you have to use to defeat the Bouldergeist himself? Major Burrows' minions are the Undergrunts, enemies you have to ground-pound to get them out of the ground, and then jump on them/spin them to kill them. Major Burrows is a very large Undergrunt, so naturally, the same strategy is required, though you have to chase him once he's out of the ground. Baron Brrr is an enlarged Li'l Brrr. The Li'l Brrrs are defeated by spinning them (they float) to extinguish their ice cloud and bring them to the ground. They will turn darker and bounce around the ground, trying to fall into ice water to revive themselves. If you kick them by walking into them in this state, they will be defeated, and drop a coin. Their Baron is very much the same, but with added attacks. An example between levels comes with Bonefin Galaxy, featuring the Kingfin boss fight. The fight takes place underwater while you ride Koopa shells and throw them to hit the boss. Drip Drop Galaxy precedes the level, teaching you about this style of fighting as you're tasked with hiting three Gringills underwater with Koopa shells. In fact, Bonefin Galaxy only becomes available after clearing Drip Drop, ensuring the player has a safer tutorial for underwater fighting before they take it to the boss. The Spring Mushroom is featured very prominently in Toy Time Galaxy. Since the Undergrunt Gunner boss is located on top of a tower, the aforementioned power-up is required to defeat him. Throughout, in various levels, there are rolling geode/boulder obstacles that can be destroyed by spinning their red crystalline cores. In the first phase of the Final Battle, Bowser takes on a boulder covering, and due to the boulders before, the player should have learned by this point that spinning his exposed face breaks it. This might work the other way, however- it's not the most intuitive to try to break the giant invincible boulders, so the final boss may instead suggest that the obstacles are vulnerable. The second phase of the Final Battle does not have lava within glass to harm Bowser, so what does Mario have to do? The rubbery bulbs seen throughout many galaxies that harm enemies when hit can also harm him, so... On a level standpoint though... The first mission in Toy Time Galaxy has Mario either screw or unscrew setpieces that are attached to walls and floors, which can be done by shaking the Wiimote (or the Joy-Cons in the 3D All-Stars version); and in the second half, he begins using the Spring Mushroom to jump onto high areas. When time comes to storm Mecha-Bowser at the end, Mario has to disable its parts by screwing some parts and unscrewing others, and eventually he has to reach the head by using the Spring Mushroom so he can Ground Pound it and destroy the whole structure. Sand Spiral Galaxy only becomes available after completing the first mission of Ghostly Galaxy (which introduces the Boo Mushroom that Sand Spiral prominently features in its first half)note Sand Spiral Galaxy also requires the second mission of Sea Slide Galaxy to unlock, but the two share no themes, and the unlock requirement only seems to be because Sea Slide is found in the Engine Room and Sand Spiral is tied to the Engine Room's Hungry Luma; Bigmouth Galaxy features a similar case due to it only being unlocked after the first star of the unrelated Dusty Dune Galaxy, as does Snow Cap Galaxy (unlocked after the first star of the unrelated Melty Molten Galaxy). The Hungry Luma leading to Sling Pod Galaxy is only unlocked after the third mission of Space Junk Galaxy (which introduces the titular Sling Pods). The Hungry Luma leading to Drip Drop Galaxy itself is only unlocked after the first mission of Beach Bowl Galaxy (which teaches the player how to swim underwater). And lastly, Matter Splatter Galaxy is only unlocked after the first mission of Toy Time Galaxy (which introduces the Spring Mushroom that is required to use for part of Matter Splatter). | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: This time, Bowser goes beyond kidnapping the Princess, and actually trying to taking control of the whole galaxy/universe. And said galaxy gets destroyed and recreated. Add to that the aforementioned Cerebus Syndrome and the result is a Mario game with more than just the usual Princess that needs saving. Downplayed in that it is still quite cheery, though. | |

During the prologue, when Bowser captures Peach and carries both her and her castle high up into space, when Mario starts to go after Bowser as he is about to fly away with his airship brigade to save the princess, a Magikoopa immediately swoops down and attacks him, sending Mario toward a small planetoid nearby and knocking him unconscious. According to the tie-in trading card game, that Magikoopa is actually Kamek (which confirms a piece of early Fanon). | |

Musical Gameplay: Coins that pop up out of blocks or bushes will have their usual coin SFX be in tempo and harmony with the backing music. Additionally, when fighting King Kaliente, every time you hit one of the coconuts (or it hits him) a musical cue plays. The harp glissandos heard when using Launch Stars and Sling Stars are also matched to the music track, and the noises that play when stepping on blue switches are as well. | |

Hard Mode Filler | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_19b89d63 | comment |
Hard Mode Filler: Most of the Prankster Comets in the game just make a previous mission harder for a new Star. Speedy Comets give you a time limit and take away checkpoints, Fast Foe Comets make hazards move faster (thankfully you're usually only forced to redo a segment of a mission), and Daredevil Comets make you redo a boss, or even a whole mission, with one hit point (turning Bouldergeist from a relatively easy foe to a much harder one). However, the Cosmic Comets (a race against a shadowy doppelganger) and Purple Comets (a coin hunt) are unique. | |

The Cameo: Yoshi actually makes a brief appearance in this game as two different planets: one as the save file avatar, and the other as a Hungry Luma planet in Space Junk Galaxy (in the level "Yoshi's Unexpected Appearance"). During the prologue, when Bowser captures Peach and carries both her and her castle high up into space, when Mario starts to go after Bowser as he is about to fly away with his airship brigade to save the princess, a Magikoopa immediately swoops down and attacks him, sending Mario toward a small planetoid nearby and knocking him unconscious. According to the tie-in trading card game, that Magikoopa is actually Kamek (which confirms a piece of early Fanon).

Boss Arena Recovery | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_1bfc720a | comment |
Boss Arena Recovery: Many of the boss arenas have little lights or plants on the ground that you can shoot Star Bits at to produce coins to restore your health. Some of the fights even have coins and star bits in the arena itself, and Bouldergeist sometimes throws coin-producing rocks in his fight. Daredevil Comet missions with boss fights remove all of these to keep Mario at one hit point. | |

Villain Ball | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: The only thing that sets Mario on Bowser's trail is Peach's kidnapping. When the game begins, it can safely be assumed that Bowser is incredibly far into his plan, and at this point, Mario has no idea about it. Kidnapping Peach was such in irrelevant part of the plan that Bowser clearly did it just to piss Mario off. If Peach was left alone, Mario would have had no clue about his plan and Bowser would have won. | |

Ominous Latin Chanting: Bowser's battle theme invokes this for both the regular boss battles and his final boss battle, although no actual words are spoken; it's a choir singing "ah" and "ooh" in the style of ominous Latin chanting. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The red Koopa shells home in on nearby enemies and NPCs. "A physician, we presume?" The theme to Toy Time Galaxy is audibly based on "Mario Syndrome", a 1986 Alternative Dance remix of the Super Mario Bros. overworld theme. The more New Order-inspired elements like gated drums and high-register bass are removed, but apart from that the instrumentation and arrangement is nearly 1:1 with "Mario Syndrome". | |

Gravity Screw | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_2864490b | comment |
Gravity Screw: A recurring theme, most often exercised with rounded planets that have all-around gravity that can be walked around like a sphere or cube and jumped between into other planets' gravity, though there are other variations. The second mission of the Dreadnought Galaxy has platforms going up, upside down and sideways at various points along a route where Mario is being fired at by various cannons. Gravity Walls have the power to control the direction of gravity. They appear in several galaxies, most notably in Bowser's Dark Matter Plant, where they give you four directions of gravity! Bowser's Galaxy Reactor features gravity spotlights that pull the player to the nearest wall or planet while he stands in them. | |

Misbegotten Multiplayer Mode | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_2b9272d7 | comment |
Misbegotten Multiplayer Mode: There aren't many occasions where the second player is really useful, besides freezing the occasional rolling rock. The super jump requires perfect timing, and any areas it can be used to get to can be reached more easily with other techniques. Trying to freeze an enemy close to Mario can throw off the first player's timing, or worse, cause Mario to jump at exactly the wrong moment. The sequel adds an onscreen character and a pair of actions that greatly increase Player 2's utility. | |

Checkpoint Starvation: The Prankster Comets disallow checkpoints (namely those triggered when Mario or Luigi lands onto a new planetoid in a level), so their objectives must be completed in one run without dying.

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: Although this game has received top-notch QA, some glitches exist, making Mario die if he spend too much time orbiting around a planet without actually landing on it (especially frequent with Luigi, by abusing the long jump/lock-on spin, or with some glitchy planetoids like that bouncing ball), but they merely send you at the start of the level. However, it is painfully played straight under some circumstances. In the final level in front of Bowser, no less, where you can cause it to freeze before the final confrontation with him by managing to go up to him before the Event Flag that activates the meteor shower, and then try to activate said Event Flag. It's possible. | |

Ground Pound | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_3401240 | comment |
The first mission in Toy Time Galaxy has Mario either screw or unscrew setpieces that are attached to walls and floors, which can be done by shaking the Wiimote (or the Joy-Cons in the 3D All-Stars version); and in the second half, he begins using the Spring Mushroom to jump onto high areas. When time comes to storm Mecha-Bowser at the end, Mario has to disable its parts by screwing some parts and unscrewing others, and eventually he has to reach the head by using the Spring Mushroom so he can Ground Pound it and destroy the whole structure. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: An odd example, but Bowser kidnapping Peach could be seen as this. Despite the fact that he does it in practically every game, kidnapping Peach was completely unnecessary for his overall plan in this one, as he was already well on his way to conquering the universe. That means he did it either because he couldn't help himself, to piss Mario off, or both. Before his boss fight, Major Burrows can be seen chasing after a terrified and defenseless Star Bunny for no real reason other than to be a dick. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: In both the original and the sequel, Mario is this compared to Luigi. His weaker jumps make extreme feats harder to perform, but they are still always sufficient to complete the level, and his higher traction makes him easier to control and reduces the risk of accidentally falling to your death. However, Luigi has a separate playthrough from Mario on the same save file, so they cannot be chosen between. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: Topmaniac has to be fought four times: twice in regular battles ("Topmaniac and the Topman Tribe" in Battlerock Galaxy and "Revenge of the Topman Tribe" in Dreadnought Galaxy), once in a daredevil battle ("Topmaniac's Daredevil Run" in Battlerock Galaxy), and once as part of a speed run ("Topman Tribe Speed Run" in Dreadnought Galaxy). Kamella and Bowser have to be fought three times each (Kamella in "Kamella's Airship Attack" in Space Junk Galaxy, and "The Underground Ghost Ship" and "Ghost Ship Daredevil Run" in Deep Dark Galaxy; Bowser in "The Fiery Stronghold" in Bowser's Star Reactor, "Darkness on the Horizon" in Bowser's Dark Matter Plant, and "The Fate of the Universe" in Bowser's Galaxy Reactor) and there are several other bosses you have to fight twice. | |

Climax Boss: The second fight against Bowser in his Dark Matter Plant from the Bedroom dome. Afterwards, you only need to collect a certain number of Power Stars to reach Bowser's Galaxy Reactor (you can skip the Engine Room and Garden domes entirely). The rematch against King Kaliente from the Engine Room dome, as it's technically the last Grand Star mission before you face Bowser one last time. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Princess Peach is saved and Bowser's plans are thwarted, but the Lumas end up sacrificing themselves to stop the universe from being sucked into a black hole, resulting in the destruction of Mario's galaxy. However, the cycle of life begins anew, with a brand new galaxy filled with all of Mario's new friends taking its place. The storybook's ending. Rosalina's mother is "sleeping under a tree" and she‘ll likely never see her father and brother again. And the Luma she was traveling never found his own mother either. However, they decide to create a new family together, with Rosalina becoming the "mama" of a large group of Lumas and devoting herself to protecting the cosmos, while the Luma is reborn as a comet that powers the Comet Observatory. | |

Kamella summons Magikoopas during the last phase of her boss fights in Space Junk Galaxy and Deep Dark Galaxy. Kingfin summons Fishbones (that attack in the same way as Torpedo Teds) during his battle. | |

Inconveniently-Placed Conveyor Belt: Conveyor belts are frequent in the first mission of Toy Time Galaxy in the Engine, and one is also present in the third mission.

Toggling Setpiece Puzzle | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_442304c0 | comment |
Toggling Setpiece Puzzle: There are levels where Mario (and later Luigi) can find green arrows that point at the current direction of gravity. When one of these arrows is hit with a spin attack, they turn red and lean 90 or 180 degrees (depending on the case) to a new direction, shifting the gravity at it. In the case of Gusty Garden Galaxy, this is best illustrated by the color and brightness of the gizmos with toggleable gravity: When a planetoid is being pointed at by a green arrow, its biggest tiles are colored yellow with big red exclamation marks; when the arrow is hit and becomes red, those tiles turn off and become deep-green with clear-green question marks, indicating that their gravity has been turned off (Mario and Luigi then fall onto a previously-weightless planetoid that is now turned on, pointed at by the hit arrow). Using these arrows is important to make way into one of the level's stars. | |

Collect-a-Thon Platformer | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_48bd46f | comment |
Collectathon Platformer: In general, the game matches the description, though it is a rather downplayed example. Power Stars are the only real collectible (though there are a couple of special variants that unlock additional things, but they still count toward the star count), and the levels are much more linear in structure than is typical of the genre. So much so that when Nintendo discussed Mario's history upon the release of Super Mario Odyssey, they grouped the Galaxy games as "course games," putting them alongside games like Super Mario 3D World and even Super Mario Bros. 3. | |

Opening the Sandbox: If you collect all the Stars in the galaxies as they become accessible to you, you'll very quickly reach the point where you can take the remaining Star missions in any order you want. In fact, two of the domes (namely the Engine Room and the Garden, not counting the Gate due to its status as the tutorial) are completely optional because the 60 stars needed to fight Bowser at the center of the universe can all be obtained in the first four domes, and the level itself is unlocked after fighting Bowser in the Dark Matter Plant (though it still can't be entered unless the aforementioned 60 stars are collected). One of the Grand Stars (from Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor) can even be skipped in this manner, the only time across both Galaxy games where a Grand Star is optional. | |

| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_4b220918 | comment |
Godhood Seeker: Not quite as literal as in the sequel, perhaps, but Bowser has definite shades of this trope in this game. Seriously, he's trying to destroy the universe so he can recreate it as his own galactic empire. With Princess Peach as his (probably unwilling) queen. Granted, it blows up in his face at the end (rather literally, too), but then the universe nearly gets destroyed in the aftermath anyways. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The Ice Flower makes its main series debut in this game. Rather than a light blue colored outfit and the ability to toss ice balls, the power-up turns Mario into a living ice sculpture that freezes the water he touches. The next game would feature an Ice Mario with closer abilities to Fire Mario, while this version would almost completely fade away (being the most notable power up to not return in the sequel. | |

Do Well, But Not Perfect: In the levels where you have to swim behind Guppy and go through the rings that he puts out, if you're such a fast swimmer that you actually catch up to Guppy, the knockback from when he hits you can easily cause you to miss a ring. | |

Reincarnation | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_50f5dabe | comment |
Reincarnation: A major theme of the game. Lumas are born from star dust, and grow into stars, moons, and planets, the latter of which have people on them. Eventually, they decay and crumble back into star dust, which goes on to create new Lumas. With the ending, this game has been interpreted by some as looking very, very Buddhist. | |

Single-Biome Planet: There are plenty of Single Biome bodies, in single biome galaxies. You've got the Good Egg Galaxy, which has a planet of each elemental type, Melty Molten Galaxy which is all lava planets, Beach Bowl/Drip Drop/Bonefin Galaxy which is all water planets and quite a few more strange single biome ones including a haunted house galaxy (Ghostly Galaxy), Hailfire Peaks (Freezeflame Galaxy), two battlestation themed galaxies/planets (Battlerock and Dreadnought Galaxies), a Level Ate galaxy (Sweet Sweet Galaxy), and one where all the planets are autumn themed. This also applies to the levels of Super Mario Galaxy 2, of which there are even more per world. | |

Bookends | |

Bookends: The first boss in the game is Dino Piranha, and the last boss (not counting Bowser) is Fiery Dino Piranha. In fact, Dino Piranha is the first Star in the first galaxy (not counting the Gateway Galaxy), and Fiery Dino Piranha is the last Star in the last galaxy (not counting Prankster Comets or bonus galaxies). In the opening of the game, you're in the Mushroom Kingdom, celebrating the Star Festival. Guess when and where the Grand Finale Galaxy is situated? The first challenge you do in the game is play hide-and-seek with bunnies on a small planet. The last Hungry Luma level involves you finding bunnies in a smaller, snowy planet. | |

All the Worlds Are a Stage: The final level is Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, and consists of a large path to Bowser's whereabouts filled with obstacles and planets based on past levels: A crumbled castle passageway like those of Bowser's previous boss levels, a lava planet based on Melty Molten Galaxy and the fiery side of Freezeflame Galaxy, an ice planet based on the snowy side of Freezeflame Galaxy. a desert planet based on Dusty Dune Galaxy, a path that builds itself as you traverse it like in the first star mission of Space Junk Galaxy, and a hollow cylindrical lava area that mixes assorted elements like Bullet Bills and sinking platforms. Even the final battle against Bowser takes place on different planets, continuing the trend and crossing over with Multi-Stage Battle. | |

Throw the Mook at Them: Kamella and Bowser Jr. are both fought by using Koopas in their shells as projectiles. Bouldergeist, a ghost that encases itself within stone. Normally it would be invincible to Mario's attacks. However, during the fight it will occasionally throw a black rock at Mario, which will become a Bomb Boo, which in turn Mario can use against Bouldergeist to break apart his stone casing. When it reaches its vulnerable phase, guess what it still intentionally spawns? | |

New Game Plus: Getting all of the stars with Mario unlocks Luigi, and lets you play through the game again with him. He runs faster and jumps higher than Mario, but has less traction and is flung farther when an enemy touches him. He also loses extra oxygen when spin-boosting through water, and his Cosmic Comet races are harder. He gets more 1-Ups from the Mailtoad in exchange, though. | |

| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_6a47a1e2 | comment |
Knight of Cerebus: Surprisingly, Bowser. He's depicted as a hugely threatening and surprisingly cunning villain, and whenever he appears, the atmosphere gets much more tense. It helps that his boss themes are marked by Ominous Latin Chanting. | |

The Lost Woods: Honeyhive and Gold Leaf, which are a bit more whimsical than your standard Lost Woods, but they do have giant bugs, lots of bees (including a power-up), and in Gold Leaf, rabbits. Enemies that are standard fare for these worlds appear too, like Wigglers and Monty Moles. | |

Nominal Importance | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_6e70b12b | comment |
Nominal Importance: For some reason, the English translation didn't give names to any Lumas, while the original Japanese (which called them Chikos) did indeed have names for some of them. You know the Luma that grants Mario's ability to spin? The one that Rosalina introduces with the line, "To save your special one, you'll need to power to travel through space. Luma can give you this power. I will entrust you with his care"? He is named Tyke in the Japanese version. They also didn't mention the name of the black/dark brown Luma who is always at Rosalina's side and in the observatories. His name is Polari, after the star Polaris. This oversight makes the storybook a tad confusing in the English version, since upon meeting the Lumas for the first time, Rosalina makes a point of thinking up names for all of them. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The Cosmic Comet races become much easier once you learn the technique to get a speed boost at the beginning, and the speed boost is extremely helpful in beating Cosmic Luigi. The only problem? The game not only does not tell you how to execute it, it doesn't even tell you it exists. Deep Dark Galaxy's hidden Star, "Boo in a Box", gives you no indication on how to reach it. You're supposed to throw a shell at the mine enemies in the underground lake in order to blow up the shipwreck and reveal the Launch Star to the next planet, but the game directs you away from the area if you select the first mission for the hidden Star (which is what the game tells you to do), and besides the presence of a shell underwater, there's nothing making it clear that all of the mines will explode or that they need to be detonated. Oddly enough, this exists for a simple collectible: the 1-Up Mushroom on top of the tall skinny tree in the Gold Leaf Galaxy, which is probably the hardest extra life to get in the game, and one that most players probably haven't. Not only is it easy to miss, but it can't be platformed to, and flying to it from the top of the waterfall with the Bee Suit doesn't get you to the tree, either. It requires a trick of the Bee Suit, that button-mashing the fly button gets more distance than holding it, which is never explained to the player. Doing that will allow you to reach the branches and fly up to the top. | |

Disney Death: Bowser collides with the artificial star that he was creating when he is defeated. However, in the next cutscene, Bowser is still alive and well, witnessing his own galaxy falling apart around him. Every main character also suffers this when a Black Hole sucks the Universe in and the Lumas stop it. Even Bowser survives his ordeal in the gravitational abyss. | |

Baby Planet | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_723e61b3 | comment |
Baby Planet: Practically all of them. Heck, some planets aren't much bigger than Mario himself, yet still have enough gravity to hold him down. The most extreme example is in Deep Dark Galaxy, where Mario can encounter a bonus planet that, once he undoes a screw to reveal a circle of coins, starts shrinking. No matter how small said planet gets, Mario won't escape from its gravitational pull until the planet vanishes completely. Also quite literal as some Lumas (which are literally babies) will explode into planets when you feed them enough Star Bits. Some will explode into galaxies as well. | |

In the storybook, what happened to the girl's father and brother? At the start of the game, Peach tells Mario to come to the Star Festival because "there's something I'd like to give you." We never find out what that something is. It may be the Luma. Kamek blasts Mario off into space in the opening, then completely disappears from the game. | |

Living Ghost: Mario is capable of turning into Boo Mario in both this game and its sequel, giving him the ability to phase through walls like a Boo. He's even required to turn back to normal to calm down a trapped Luigi. | |

Conspicuous Electric Obstacle: Battlerock and Space Junk Galaxies have two types of these. First are pair of small greenish metal spheres with electricity flowing in between them. Such electricity can also bend, depending on the obstacle. The second type are slightly larger metal spheres that frequently emit obvious electricity. | |

Gimmick Level | |

Gimmick Level: The game has several Gimmick Levels, the most recognizable ones being those involving the Wiimote's motion-sensing abilities to control different actions, like balancing Mario on top of a rolling ball, riding a manta ray around a course, or using a fan to blow a bubble around an electrified maze of doom. Those types of levels appear at least twice each: One where you can practice with them, and then a harder variation that appears later. | |

Suspicious Videogame Generosity: There is always a Life Shroom just before a boss or difficult section, often sold by a Luma Shop. The area right before the Luma Shop would also tend to have just enough star bits to pay for the item, which is also the checkpoint area so you can buy the item again in case you get killed by the boss. And a Musical Spoiler where it changes to the 'Tension' theme. Both of these are in the sequel, too. | |

Absurdly Short Level | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_966decaf | comment |
Absurdly Short Level: The game has galaxies that only contain one Power Star, which are mostly opened by feeding Hungry Lumas or by returning to earlier parts of the Comet Observatory with enough total stars. Some of them have good length to their missions, but ones like Flipswitch Galaxy (a single three-sided planet made entirely of flipswitch panels), Hurry-Scurry Galaxy (a short intro path followed by a planet made entirely of vanishing platforms), Drip Drop Galaxy (a shallow water planet where the only goal is to defeat three Gringills), and Snow Cap Galaxy (Mario starts on a tiny glass bubble, with the actual mission being on a pill-shaped planet he launches to) don't take much more than a couple minutes to explore and complete. | |

Then there's the special trio of minigames (Manta Ray riding, ball guiding and the bubble flight), whose motion controls were implemented to show off the controller's potential. | |

| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_9a692ae9 | comment |
13 Is Unlucky: A subtle example, but the first Prankster Comet will always appear immediately after Mario collects his thirteenth Power Star, no matter what order the levels are played in. The effects of these comets on the galaxies range from merely unusual (such as making Purple Coins appear, initiating a race against Cosmic Mario), going through potentially dangerous (making enemies and hazards move faster, dying if a Power Star isn't collected under a time limit) to genuinely lethal (dying upon the first hit from an enemy). In fact, that last effect is the most common. | |

Difficult, but Awesome: In both the original and the sequel, Luigi is this compared to Mario. His lower traction makes him more difficult for the player to control, but he also runs faster and jumps higher/further, making him capable of crazy feats such as going into orbit around a small planetoid using only a long jump, or using his superior jumping to Sequence Break past part of a platforming sequence. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass Bowser. In previous titles, his goals are to kidnap Peach and take over the Mushroom Kingdom (or the world). In Galaxy, capturing Peach seems to just be a bonus for him; his real goal is the conquest of the entire universe. Some bosses in the game do get stronger on much later missions, especially those fought in the Garden Dome galaxies. Not only is the Engine Room King Kaliente rematch much harder (you're fighting him entirely on lava with sinking platforms, he summons lava bubbles already at the start of the fight, and meteors fall on the last phase), you have to fight him for the Grand Star. Kamella also takes more hits in her Ghost Ship battle in Deep Dark Galaxy than on her personal airship in Space Junk Galaxy (not to mention, unleash an additional attack where she transforms into an orb and teleports constantly around the arena). The icing on the cake? She'll get smart and have the second half of the fight be on the Crow's Nest. Oh, there's also another mission where you fight her on Daredevil Conditions. Topmaniac is fought once again on Dreadnought Galaxy, but his arena has electric barriers that move around (making it a little harder to electrocute him). Oh, and he'll summon Spiky Topmen much earlier this time. Dino Piranha has a brand new fiery counterpart that'll make a relatively easy boss much tougher to handle (his tail leaving flames, and his last phase spitting fire balls). | |

Interface Spoiler: Like Super Mario 64, the game advertises having 120 stars to collect. Players going for 100% Completion will notice two things: first, unlike minor galaxies, the game won't display "Galaxy Complete!" for each of the fifteen main ones (as well as Gateway Galaxy) even after collecting seemingly all the stars there, suggesting that there are more to unlock. Second, if one collects every available star before travelling to Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, they'll only come up with 104 stars, spoiling the fact that the final fifteen are only unlocked afterward, before the game introduces the Purple Comet sidequest to you. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Crushing is instant death no matter what. Unlike previous Mario titles, this even applies for mooks like Thwomps, which prior had only dealt the standard damage by their respective game's health system. Poison water and dark yellow quicksand cause Mario to sink and lose a life regardless of health, both of which are marked with signs showing skulls and Xes on them. Dark matter functions the same way, but the animation of falling in to it shows Mario being disintegrated instead. In contrast, lava and the very cold ice in the final level simply cause Mario to bounce off while losing one health point. | |

Glory Hound: Downplayed. After rescuing Luigi from Battlerock Galaxy, he reveals that he found a Green Star but says he won't hand it over unless Mario personally credits him to Rosalina. He doesn't do this for any other star that he finds (whether the Green Star is the exception due to its rarity or another reason is unknown), and his threat to withhold the star is a bluff given he hands Mario the Green Star immediately after he's done talking (the player also doesn't get the opportunity to tell Rosalina that Luigi found the Green Star). | |

Variable Mix: All over the place: Gateway, Battlerock, Beach Bowl, Buoy Base, Sea Slide, and Freezeflame Galaxies all feature instrument variations in their background tracks depending on what you're doing or where in the stage you are. Other tracks that change up at will include stage select domes, the ball rolling minigame, rabbit chasing, and any boss fight with Bowser. That a significant number of these tracks were recorded by a full orchestra makes the switchovers all the more impressive. Additionally, no matter what stage you're in or what song is playing (including Rainbow Star, Fire Flower, or Ice Flower tracks), touching a Launch Star or Sling Star adds a matching harp to the music, with the arpeggio varying in intensity with how big the star is. | |

Convection, Schmonvection So off the wall here, it has to be mentioned twice. The final fight between Bowser and Mario has them fighting on an exposed battleground inside an artificial star. Not to mention Melty Molten Galaxy, which takes place on a planet made of lava! Ice Mario can freeze lava. As said below, Rule of Cool. In the Freezeflame Galaxy's third mission, not only can you skate on a ring of ice with several stars embedded in it, but you can stand as close as physically possible to lava before you actually go in it and not get hurt. Surprisingly, it is averted in the final cutscene after the final boss fight. Bowser falls into the artificial star, and he starts burning even before he physically touches the lava, like he would in real life. | |

Dungeon Bypass | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_b4d6aa7d | comment |
Dungeon Bypass: Downplayed, but good platformers can find several shortcuts in the game. For example, in the Bigmouth Galaxy, you're supposed to find Star Chips in the large underwater section, to create a Sling Star up to an upside-down pool of water a little bit above the one you're in. Or you can swim to the top of your pool and wall-jump on the wall between the two pools to get into the upper one. In Freezeflame, it's possible to reach the ice planet's summit with minimal uses of the Ice and Fire Flowers. And in Deep Dark Galaxy's second mission, you're supposed to defeat the Undergrunt Gunner over the cannon to launch to a planet with a Fire Flower to light a torch that will give you an Ice Flower to climb some fountains to the upper section of the cavern. Or you can run right past the Gunner and backflip and wall-jump onto a ledge that will take you to the upper level you're supposed to unlock with the fight and Ice Flower. | |

Kamella is one to the Magikoopas. Tarantox can be considered as one to the spider enemies, mainly the Sproings and the Spranglers. Topmaniac is one to the Topmen. Bouldergeist is one to the Bomb Boos (especially once his true form is revealed). Major Burrows is one to the Undergrunts. The Undergrunt Gunners fought in later missions are these (to a lesser extent). Baron Brrr is one to the Li'l Brrrs. Kingfin is one to the Bonefins. As a matter of fact, the Bonefins only appear during the fight against Kingfin. And of course, Bowser and Bowser Jr. themselves are one to the Koopa Troopas. | |

All Gravity Is the Same | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_bb96aefb | comment |
All Gravity Is the Same: The gravity of the various planets, planetoids and other structures in no way affect how Mario (or Luigi if you're playing as him) moves. In the case of artificial platforms and starships like Rosalina's Comet Observatory, it is possible that the Artificial Gravity accomodates to Mario's personal sense of gravity, but the miniature planets (both regular whole ones and the crumbling shells with quantum singularities at their centers) are less justifiable. The scientific implications of this according to Austin on THE SCIENCE are "god damn terrifying!" | |

Genius Bruiser: Bowser, in stark contrast to his depiction in various spinoffs. He came up with a master plan to establish a galactic empire involving his own galaxy reactor, which implies that he knows how to use (and possibly build) galactic-scale technology to achieve his ends. Moreover, it speaks volumes to his intellect that his master plan nearly works even with Mario's intervention, and it would have gone without a hitch if he had just waited to kidnap Peach until after his galaxy had been created (as Mario wasn't even aware of Bowser's plan until that point). | |

Bubble Gun | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_c1c008cf | comment |
Bubble Gun: The Water Shooter obstacles create powerful water bubbles that can trap the player in a bubble and carry them in the bubble's trajectory if the player doesn't Spin to break out. Most of the time, the bubbles are a nuisance if not outright hazardous, but the second mission of Deep Dark Galaxy requires you to ride said bubbles to go to further planets. The blue Water Shooters, yellow electric orb shooters and red flamethrower spouts encountered throughout the game also serve as a Call-Back, since they're all very similar to the head of the F.L.U.D.D. pack from Super Mario Sunshine. The electric versions are essentially identical, since the F.L.U.D.D. pack is also yellow. | |

Bonus Feature Failure: The Grand Finale Galaxy. You'd think this would be a tough bonus stage designed to reward players for getting 100% Completion like Grandmaster Galaxy or World S8 Crown, right? It's not, it's just the game's intro scene, with purple coins added and all the characters present. The atmosphere is nice enough, but it's not really much of a level nor a decent true finale. | |

Musical Spoiler | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_c6dccfb7 | comment |
Musical Spoiler: There's an example heard in a few cases, there's a certain ominous theme appropriately titled "A Tense Moment" in the small section of the level before a boss battle, as can be seen when on the UFO before fighting Topmaniac, the small section of level before Tarantox and before the first King Kaliente battle (although really, it's kinda ironic the only bosses this happens for are those that don't need the warning because they're generally easy). Similarly, there's a kind of dead obvious giveaway of the boss battle about to start in Bowser Jr's reactor levels, in that his theme tune starts just before the boss starts attacking (and Bowser Jr himself will fly in and taunt you.) This game and its sequel also use a method similar to Twilight Princess, in that during the fights with Bowser, Ominous Latin Chanting will be added to the music when he's vulnerable to attack. Galaxy subverts this with Bowser Jr's appearance in the final level, where at first it looks like you're going to fight him before actually fighting Bowser for the last time, but it turns out that you actually fight Bowser directly instead. Although he does rain meteors down on the stairway. | |

Serial Escalation: Previous games simply had Bowser trying to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, but the stakes have been raised considerably this time around. Now, Bowser means to create his own galaxy at the heart of existence from which he will conquer the entire universe and rule over it for all eternity. Since you can't really get much grander than that, later games toned down Bowser's goals. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight Purple Coins on the Battlerock and Battlestation's Purple Coins (in Dreadnought Galaxy) are linear levels that require you to collect 100 Purple Coins on a moving platform to get the star, or the Gearmo at the end kills you. Getting 0 coins will surprise her before berating you for pulling such a stunt (though in Dreadnought, she does acknowledge in that it might impress some). Amusingly, the normal Launch Star of the Dreadnought version of the level has the last Purple Coin in its path, but there's an out-of-the-way Sling Star that Mario can reach specifically for the purpose of ending with 0 coins. When you clear a level, you return to the Observatory and Mario will take off his cap and the Luma hiding underneath it will be floating above his head. If you play as Luigi, he will take off his hat in the same manner, and the Luma will also appear. However, since Luigi is quite a bit taller than Mario, the Luma will be bouncing off his head instead. In the Star Bit shooting tutorial, if your Star Bit count reaches zero before feeding Polari five Star Bits, another set of Star Bits will spawn to prevent a softlock. This will repeat until you have successfully completed the tutorial. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Those are not galaxies, those are clusters of asteroids, or small moons at most. And there is no implication that Mario is just visiting the part of the galaxy relevant to him. Each gateway also looks more like it's selecting from a solar system, and several of the dome-boss galaxies are very small compared to how they are viewed on the map from a large distance. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: There are 1-up Mushrooms scattered around the observatory, and more will appear when you unlock new domes, up to a total of 5. They will even respawn if you enter and exit a dome. Combined with an additional five 1-ups you receive from Peach's letter (or in Luigi's case, 20), you should be really well prepared to face the toughest challenges ahead without worrying about a Game Over so much. In Honeyhive Galaxy, if you fall off the tree platform in the first mission or the windmill tower in the second mission, then Launch Stars will appear back down on the mainland to take you back up there, saving you a lot of trouble of having to go all the way back through the long default route. In Dreadnought Galaxy, on the moving-platform sequence, it's possible to spend too much time on one of the stationary platforms scattered throughout and subsequently lose the platform you were riding, especially in the Purple Coins mission. Fortunately, if you do, another platform will come along in a few seconds so you can continue. Hidden Stars will show up as a question mark above the icon of one of the previous levels in the mission-select screen, alerting you to their presence and sparing you the trouble of figuring out which mission to look in. The bomb-exploding minigames are difficult enough as it is timing-wise, so the game tells you exactly where to aim the bombs by way of coin-dispensing lights on the ground that serve as guides. "Purple Coins in the Woods" in Gold Leaf Galaxy is set on a linear platforming challenge and has a time limit and no excess Purple Coins. As a result, the path has markers that tell the player how many coins they should have collected at each point, letting them know if they're on track or not. A few of the game's levels have a hungry Luma as the last stop before the boss fight, selling an extra life or a doubled health meter for only thirty star bits. This ensures the player has more wiggle room at the end of a particularly hard level. | |

Have a Nice Death | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_d933263 | comment |
Have a Nice Death: If you get to the end of the Battlerock or Dreadnought Purple Comet missions without all the purple coins, the Gearmo will mock you for not trying hard enough and then take away one of your lives. If you collect 0, they will comment that you had to have done it on purpose, and then take away your life. | |

Unlockable Content | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_d94a0b6 | comment |
Unlockable Content: Getting all of the Stars with Mario unlocks Luigi, and lets you play through the game again with him. He runs faster and jumps higher than Mario, but has less traction and is flung farther when an enemy touches him. He also loses extra oxygen when spin-boosting through water. And, his Cosmic Comet races are harder. | |

Galaxy subverts this with Bowser Jr's appearance in the final level, where at first it looks like you're going to fight him before actually fighting Bowser for the last time, but it turns out that you actually fight Bowser directly instead. Although he does rain meteors down on the stairway. | |

Breakout Character: Rosalina is one of the most prominent examples in the Super Mario Bros. series; while she was originally intended to only appear in this game, she made a cameo in the sequel and has since been playable in multiple iterations of Mario Kart, the fourth and fifth installments of Super Smash Bros., Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and is even unlockable as a secret character in Super Mario 3D World. | |

Action Bomb: Bob-ombs as usual, though they lose their legs when attacked and become throwable inanimate bombs. Bob-ombs can also be found in this inanimate state from the start, and those ones light when picked up. This game introduces the Bomb Boos, explosive shadowy Boos that you swing by their tongues into obstacles. They explode on impact, but also have a roughly 10-second timer to prevent players from holding onto them forever. | |

| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_e08fcc99 | comment |
Battle Theme Music: This game has a wide array of boss music, meaning that each theme will only be shared by three bosses max and some will be unique to only one. Galaxy is also the first 3D Mario game to incorporate Variable Mix in certain themes, like when Mario is throwing back a projectile from King Kaliente or viceversa or when Bowser is being stunned. The latter's theme evolves into full Ominous Latin Chanting during the last phase of the last battle, even without the need of variable mix. | |

Dub Name Change: The galaxies all had English names even in the original Japanese version. A few of them stayed the same, but most were changed despite the fact none of them really sounded very Engrish-y (for instance, Melty Molten Galaxy was called Hell Prominence Galaxy in the Japanese version). This is averted in other language versions of the game, such as Spanish and French. | |

Helpful Mook: Plenty! Cataquacks fling you high into the air and deal no damage. Koopas can be stomped to make them retreat into their shells, which can then be used as projectiles or swimming aids. Bob-ombs and Bullet Bills can destroy things the Mario Bros. are too weak to shatter, like glass cases. Green Topmen and Jump Beamers have a spring in their body which can be exposed if they're damaged, allowing their heads to be used as trampolines. | |

| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_f53dd5eb | comment |
Mutually Exclusive Power-Ups: Most combinations of the power-ups in the game (Fire Flower, Ice Flower, Spring Mushroom, Bee Mushroom, Boo Mushroom, Red Star, and Rainbow Star) are impossible. Attempting to combine them will result in either the old power-up losing its effect or Mario kicking away the new power-up. | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_f821e963 | comment |
The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, taking place in the center of the universe. It has multiple planets, and it's there where Mario faces Bowser for the last time in the game. It can be accessed when five Grand Stars are retrieved and a minimum total of 60 stars overall are collected. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: During one mission in Space Junk Galaxy, you'll encounter a Toad trapped in a sling pod. To progress, you have to get him out of the sling pod so you can use it yourself, but the game progresses whether you fling him to a safe spot or launch him offscreen into open space. Many players get a sadistic kick out of doing the latter. (Not that it ultimately matters, since he shows up again on the Comet Observatory either way.) | |

Flight of Romance: Mario and Peach have such a moment after he delivers an epic beatdown to Bowser at the end. He catches her as she falls from Bowser Jr.'s airship and whisks her away with the final Grand Star. | |

No-Damage Run | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_fac8c4d6 | comment |
No-Damage Run: invoked The daredevil comets force you to complete a challenge without taking any damage. Usually it's redoing a boss fight, but one of the more sadistic ones— "Lava Spire Daredevil Run" in Melty Molten Galaxy— forces you to replay an ENTIRE LEVEL like this, namely, the "The Sinking Lava Spire" mission (this is probably because a daredevil run against Fiery Dino Piranha would be even more sadistic than that). There's also the second segment of "Scaling the Sticky Wall" in Honeyclimb Galaxy, when meteors can, in a single hit, rob you of your bee suit and send you falling to your death by black hole. | |

Leap of Faith | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_fbcdeede | comment |
Leap of Faith: Played straight by certain sections of Space Junk Galaxy and the final dungeon, which both feature paths that magically form from debris floating around as you approach, and certain sections of both will require you to jump without seeing the path in front of you. Averted during the Freezeflame Galaxy Purple Coins mission, as you can actually see the platforms you're leaping to the whole time. | |

Portal Endpoint Resemblance | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_fcf4a4bb | comment |
Portal Endpoint Resemblance: Most galaxy domes in Rosalina's observatory avert the trope, as they're based on the specific areas of what was originally her house (a bathroom, a kitchen, a bedroom, etc.), instead of the galaxies you can access from them. However the Engine Room plays it straight, because many active mechanisms and gizmos can be seen in it, with a Gearmo maintaining it, and one of the galaxies you can be launched onto from it is the mechanical Toy Time Galaxy (it being inhabited by multiple Gearmos also helps). | |

Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_febb58e2 | comment |
Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught: In the second mission of Beach Bowl Galaxy, "Passing the Swim Test", you have to retrieve a golden shell in the ocean and bring it back to the coach in order to pass the test and get the Power Star. However, there aren't any golden shells lying around on the ocean floor. One of the other penguins eventually clues you in that the actual way to pass the test is to find a penguin carrying a shell and steal it from him. | |

What Other Galaxies? | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_fee27b35 | comment |
What Other Galaxies?: Exaggerated. Rosalina claims Earth's sun is the center of the whole universe. So, it's less "what other galaxies?" and more "what other planetary systems?". This is coupled with Everything in Space Is a Galaxy given that the individual levels are called galaxies yet, in truth, are no more than weirdly-shaped planetoids. Oh, and groups of five galaxies comprise a dome. In turn, the Galaxy mentioned in the title is the complete collection of domes. Yeah, confusing but fun. | |

Racing Minigame | |
| Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game) / int_ff542b7c | comment |
Racing Minigame: Several. To start with, there are the four Cosmic Comet races. In two levels ("A Very Spooky Sprint" in Ghostly Galaxy and "Racing the Spooky Speedster" in Boo's Boneyard Galaxy), you race a helmet-wearing Boo to a Power Star. You also race a group of penguins in "Faster Than a Speeding Penguin" in Sea Slide Galaxy, and there are at least four levels in which you encounter rabbits who want you to chase them. Then there's the "Surfing 101" mission in Loopdeeloop Galaxy and the "The Galaxy's Greatest Wave" mission in Loopdeeswoop Galaxy, in which you have to make one lap around a watery course on a manta within a (fairly generous) time limit. The game designers apparently think players can't get enough racing. | |
