Chompworks Galaxy
- “If ya got time to talk, then ya got time to keep the Chomps rolling!”
- —Gearmo, Super Mario Galaxy 2
Chompworks Galaxy is a galaxy appearing the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is the only galaxy to revolve around the use of the Spring Mushroom. Gearmos inhabit the area. Incoming Chomps, as the galaxy's name implies, are the most common enemy here, usually blocking the path to a Launch Star. There are also revolving platforms that resemble bolts that Mario must traverse to gain the Power Star. There are several Star Bit constellations that are shaped like Incoming Chomps.
Planets
Template:Conjecturaltext
The Chompworks planet has a platform with Chomps rolling on it; once they reach an obstacle, they'll break. To progress, Mario must stand on a platform that will lower with Mario's weight and wait until one of the Chomps is close to run. The Chomp will continue rolling and end up in a Gearmo's hole revealing a Launch Star.
Besides the Chomps, Mario will also encounter Octoombas.

This planet is surrounded by lava. To progress, Mario must take the path where the Incoming Chomps are rolling on, being careful not to get run over. An easier way to get past them is to use the platforms where mini chomps are rolling. This planet has two Gearmos that try to stop the Chomps in their path and a green Warp Pipe that leads to a room with Chance Cubes on the first platform with the mini chomps.

Just like in Flip Swap Galaxy, this planet has red and blue platforms that flip when Mario spins. There are also platforms that tilt to the side that Mario is standing on. He has to use the flip swap and tilting platforms to make the Incoming Chomp enter the Chomp Hole and reveal a Launch Star. Octoombas can be found on this planet.

This planet is also covered in lava. To progress, Mario must use the ! Switches to make the blue platforms raise for a few seconds and more platforms that sink under Mario's weight. At the end of the planet, a Golden Chomp is found rolling. Mario must bring him to the Chomp Hole at the entrance to make the first mission's Power Star accessible. The other enemies here are Metallic Goombas.

These two planets are inaccessible. They can be seen when leaving the Flipping Platforms Planet in Where the Chomps Are Made of Gold, or while Mario flies toward the Castle Planet in Spring into the Chompworks. They consist of nothing more than two spinning circular gear-like platforms (one green and one yellow) that contain four Chomp Heads each, which are connected by a large screw running directly through the center of the planet.

This planet is shaped like a castle. It is only accessible after beating the first mission. It also has some platforms that help Spring Mario reach its top and grab the Power Star. Some of them are shaped llike gears. The enemies encountered here are Paragoombas. This planet strongly resembles the Tower Planet from the Fluffy Bluff Galaxy.

Missions
Where the Chomps are Made of Gold
To get this Power Star and complete this mission, Mario has to make his way to the Raising Platforms Planet. To do so, he has to make one of the Incoming Chomps fall into the Chomp Hole in the first planet and take the Launch Star. Mario will find himself on the Lava Planet. Here, he has to make his way to the Launch Star while avoiding the rolling Chomps. On the next planet, he has to pull the lever found at the far left of the level and make the rolling chomp fall into another hole to reveal a Launch Star.
When Mario gets on this planet, using the ! Switches to make platforms rise, he has to jump on them before they go down again. Then, he has to bring the Golden Chomp, located at the planet's end, over to the entrance's hole. When he falls, he'll transform into a Power Star.

Spring into the Chompworks
When Mario visits this galaxy for the second time, he'll find Spring Mushrooms on planets. To complete this mission, Mario must use the first Launch Star located on the first planet's obstacle. On the Lava Planet, the player will notice that the small platforms disappeared. To get past the Incoming Chomps, Mario can jump over them using the Spring Mario form. He can also do a backflip then spin over them. When he gets past them, a smaller version of Incoming Chomps will roll toward him, though Mario doesn't need the Spring Mushroom this time. The Launch Star is located at the end of the planet.
When using it, Mario will get on the Castle Planet. He must use the Spring Mushroom to get to its top and grab the Power Star.

Cosmic Clones in the Chompworks
The player has to redo "Where the Chomps are Made of Gold", though there will be Cosmic Clones following Mario the entire time. Mario has to guide the Golden Chomp carefully to the hole without crossing these enemies. If done so, he'll get a Power Star.
