The gameplay is similar to ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', with a focus on platforming based on and around 3D planets of varying sizes and with many different types of surfaces. Power-ups, such as the [[Bee Mushroom]], [[Boo Mushroom]], [[Spring Mushroom]], and [[Fire Flower]] make a return, along with new ones such as the [[Rock Mushroom]] and the [[Cloud Flower]], as well as various enemies and [[Airship]]s. [[Launch Star]]s reappear for interplanetary navigation, along with a [[Baby Luma|Luma]] and [[Mario]]'s [[spin]] action. Additionally, the concept of "dark matter" appears as the medium of which [[Cosmic Clone]]s are composed, and as a portal through which Airships emerge. 2-D stages featured in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' are also included in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', introducing many new features.

Mario is controlled with the analog stick and can jump with the {{button|wii|A}}. The {{button|wii|Z}} works just as the {{button|n64|Z}} trigger did in ''Super Mario 64''. The player uses it to make Mario crouch, do [[Somersault]]s, and do [[Long Jump]]s. The {{button|wii|C}} centers the camera behind Mario, while the {{button|wii|Pad}} can adjust the camera angle manually. By pressing the upper part of the {{button|wii|Pad}}, the player can enter a first-person perspective. | Mario is controlled with the analog stick and can jump with the {{button|wii|A}}.
