'''Cosmic Mario''' is a character that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. His physical shape is identical to [[Mario]], while his outer appearance is blue with stars, resembling space. He also has a high-pitched voice. If Mario enters a [[galaxy]] when a [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic Comet|Cosmic Comet]] is orbiting that galaxy, Cosmic Mario appears at the beginning of the [[level]] and challenges the player to a race. The player must then race through numerous obstacles and reach the [[Power Star]] before Cosmic Mario does. If Cosmic Mario manages to reach the Power Star first, Mario loses a life and must restart the race. Colliding with him during the race causes him to release [[Star Bit]]s.

At the start of a race, if the player holds {{button|wii|Stick}} up, then {{button|wii|Z}} when the timer reaches "2," and then hits {{button|wii|A}} just as the race starts, Mario or [[Luigi]] gets a [[Rocket Start|Start Dash]], shown by a yellow color appearing on Mario/Luigi, shrinking gradually as a marker of the end of this effect.

'''Cosmic Luigi''' also appears, replacing Cosmic Mario when the player plays as Luigi. He is very similar to Cosmic Mario, with the only major difference being that he takes advantage of shortcuts more often and uses a large number of [[Long Jump|long jump]]s, making it faster and harder to beat than his counterpart.

'''Cosmic Mario''' is a character that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. His physical shape is identical to Mario, while his outer appearance is blue with stars all over, as if he were made out of cosmic matter. He also has an unusually high-pitched voice. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] enter a galaxy when a [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic_Comet|Cosmic Comet]] is orbiting a galaxy, Cosmic Mario appears at the beginning at the level and challenges the [[player]] to a race. The player must then race through numerous obstacles and reach the finish before Cosmic Mario to earn a [[Power Star]].


If the player is playing as [[Luigi]], Cosmic Luigi will appear in place of Cosmic Mario. Cosmic Luigi utilizes short cuts and many [[Long Jump (move)|long jump]]s. As a result, he is faster and much more difficult to beat than Cosmic Mario.  
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', despite not being in the game while the player plays as Luigi, [[Cosmic Clone]]s behave very similarly, being slightly faster.


Cosmic Mario appears to be the equivalent of [[Koopa the Quick]] and [[Il Piantissimo]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', respectively. [[Spooky Speedster]], also from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', is a racer as well.

Similar entities based on Cosmic Mario appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the form of the [[Cosmic Clone]]s and the [[Cosmic Spirit]]. Cosmic Clones are slightly different in appearance and mimic Mario's movements, all the while spawning more of themselves, usually in areas where if Mario waits too long, they'll multiply to the point where he can't get around and they'll catch up to him. The Cosmic Spirit is the equivalent of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'''s [[Super Guide Block]], controlling Mario to guide him to a [[Bronze Star]] (the Gold Star can only be obtained without the help of the Cosmic Spirit).

Another entity of the Cosmic Clones resembling Cosmic Mario appears in the Special Worlds in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', but is in [[Small Mario]] form. He seems to conduct the same tactics as before, with the addition of him attacking Mario when he gets in his way. In the latter Special World courses, there is a giant version of him which slows things down whenever Mario or Luigi gets too close to him.

==Trivia==
*An unused variant of the Cosmic Mario Race in [[Space Junk Galaxy]] is found in the game files. When players start a race, they start at the coordinate 0,0,0, which is the air that they land on the starting planet. Cosmic Mario cannot win on this race, and players still have to use [[Star Chip]]s to unlock a [[Launch Star]], but Cosmic Mario does not need to use the Star Chips to use a Launch Star. Cosmic Mario does not use voice clips in this variant.<ref>

*Cosmic Mario/Cosmic Luigi's theme uses a similar arrangement to [[Shadow Mario]]'s theme of the same music, the [[Underground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
*On the covers for the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2 Original Soundtrack]]'', Mario's silhouette is dark blue covered in stars, resembling Cosmic Mario.
*Prior to Cosmic Mario's debut, [[Metal Mario]] had an alternate color scheme where he can be selected into blue in ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]].
