The galaxy opens up to the flower grapple planet. [[Yoshi]] is required on the flower grapples. Mario must be careful with Yoshi because mines, bullet bills, and [[goomba]]s are dangerous obstacles.
 
After this, a launch star above a flagpole leads to the flipswitch galaxy, where the player must navigate Mario around 21 flipswitches while avoiding [[Laser Robot]]s.
 
Once flipping all the switches, another launch star appears to the electric maze planet. The [[cloud flower]] is needed to make it up to the three clouds. The three cloud flowers should be used wisely as Mario glides by via windmill. Mario must avoid the electric fences since they damage him and make him lose his power-up, which is essential to walk on clouds. At the end of the maze is a launch star, which takes Mario to platform planet.
 
Here, Mario must dodge the electric walls which surge outwards. At the same time, flip panels fill most of the flooring. Mario makes his way through the course while avoiding the enemies and the flip panels. Not only that, but since [[Electrogoomba]]s appear half-way through the course, they can tempt Mario to strike them by spinning.
 
Once the galaxy is completed, the Mario finds a launch star awaiting, heading straight to the pull star galaxy. At the beginning, Mario must evade the moving electric fences that cross the blocks. After that are pull stars, which the Mario has to navigate through even more moving electric fences along with [[paragoomba]]s and mines. The last electric fence requires Mario to grip the penultimate pull star while avoiding the paragoomba and electricty to the launch star.  


Taking the launch star, Mario ends up in the last planet known as the [[Hammer Bro.]] planet. Like the name suggests, there are many Hammer Bros. throughout the way, leading to a trio of [[Boomerang Bros.]] at the end. Mario should defeat the three Boomerang Bros. to obtain the [[Power Star]].

Template:Galaxybox Grandmaster Galaxy is the final galaxy that appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The galaxy is located in World S. This galaxy is unlocked when the player gets all 240 stars and is an obstacle course with puzzles, enemies and Power Stars at the end. This galaxy contains two extra Stars: one for completing the level and another one for doing it again but with only one hit point. In the last case the player gets the star from Rosalina.

Missions

The Ultimate Test

Flower Grapple Planet

The first planet is where Mario must use Yoshi to swing on the flower grapples to reach the Launch Star. There are several obstacles along the way, such as Mines and Bullet Bills. Paragoombas also appear, but they are replaced by Choppahs in the second mission.

Flipswitch Planet

After using the Launch Star from the first planet, Mario lands on a planet with Flipswitches, with a backdrop showing moving sprites of items from Super Mario Bros.. The player must touch all the Flip Switches (while avoiding Laser Robots) to reveal the Launch Star.

Electric Maze Planet

After landing, Mario/Luigi finds a Cloud Flower and a fan making an upward gust. Mario/Luigi must use the cloud flower to make it to the Launch Star at the end of the maze. More flowers are supplied along the way. In The Perfect Run, Mario/Luigi is stuck with this status for the rest of the level.

Platform Planet

A planet that has many platforms that have electric walls moving through them, making it tedious. Also, platforms that shrink and platforms that move when Mario spins appear here too.

Pull Star Planet

A planet with a lot of electricity. In the beginning, there are some blocks with electricity on them. Later, there is a long segment of Pull Stars where the Mario must avoid the electricity and Paragoombas to get to the end, where he finds a Launch Star.

Hammer Bro Planet

This planet is highly infested with Hammer Bros., and Mario has to get past them to reach the other side. Flimps are also present in this area.

The end area has three Boomerang Bros. that Mario must take out. Defeating them reveals a Power Star (or a Launch Star in the Daredevil run).

The Comet Medal for this galaxy is on the far right side of this planet, next to some platforms.

The Gate Planet

This planet is only accessed during the Daredevil run. It's a small planet with a small house built on it. Mario also meets Rosalina on this planet, which strongly resembles the Gate in its prequel, Super Mario Galaxy. There is also a 1-Up Mushroom behind the house.


The Perfect Run

The Prankster Comet for this galaxy is unlocked when the player finds this galaxy's Comet Medal and gives Banktoad 9999 Star Bits.

Basically, the player redos the "The Ultimate Test" star, but under the Daredevil conditions. There are no checkpoint flags, and some of the Paragoombas are replaced with Choppahs.

If the Mario avoids all the obstacles, he runs into Rosalina, who thanks the player. The Perfect Run is considered by many the hardest Power Star to collect in the entire game.

Music from the original Super Mario Galaxy is played as well. The music that is played in order is Gusty Garden Galaxy, Good Egg Galaxy, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, and Comet Observatory.

Trivia

  • This is the only galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2 to not encounter the green stars. This is primarily because the player had to collect all the green stars to unlock this galaxy.
  • This is the only galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2 that requires the player to collect Star Bits in addition to collecting the Comet Medal for a Prankster Comet to appear.
