Template:Quote2 A gravity field[1][2] is a special area that first appears in Super Mario Galaxy. It controls and indicates the direction of gravity inside.
In 2D sections, the back wall of a gravity field has arrows pointing along the direction of gravity, and is color-coded: blue for down, red for up, green for right, and gray or purple for left. Some Arrow Switches are connected to them. These gravity fields are the main mechanic of Bowser's Dark Matter Plant in Super Mario Galaxy, and Rightside Down Galaxy and Upside Dizzy Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They usually point in cardinal directions, with an exception in Battle Belt Galaxy.
A type of gravity field navigated in 3D appears in Toy Time Galaxy. It is a hexagon-textured, usually pink surface that pulls gravity toward it. These gravity fields are green on Mecha-Bowser. Occasionally, nearby arrows help indicate the gravity direction of a field.
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the background of Flipsville Galaxy has similar arrows to a 2D gravity field. However, Mario or Luigi changes their direction by flipping between sides of a planetoid, by Ground Pounding grates or drilling through dirt patches. Unlike true gravity fields, they do not affect all of the objects they encompass, only indicating the player character's gravity.
Gravity fields return in Super Mario Odyssey, where they appear in some of the 2D sections accessed by 8-Bit Pipes. Inside the Inverted Pyramid, the arrows on the gravity fields are designed after the pyramid itself.
Gravity field areas
Super Mario Galaxy
Galaxy | Mission | Area | Colors (down / up / right / left) |
---|---|---|---|
Good Egg Galaxy | A Snack of Cosmic Proportions | Many sections of the Pill Planet feature gravity fields. | Blue / Orange |
Battlerock Galaxy | Topmaniac and the Topman Tribe | The inside of the Gravity Planet has many gravity fields, but their direction is inverted, with blue going up and red going down. | Red / Blue |
Bowser's Star Reactor | The Fiery Stronghold | Roughly in the middle of the level is a short section of gravity fields. | Blue / Pink |
Bowser's Dark Matter Plant | Darkness on the Horizon | Almost the entire level consists of many different sections of gravity fields surrounded by dark matter. | Blue / Pink / Green / Gray |
Bowser's Galaxy Reactor | The Fate of the Universe | A short section of gravity fields appears behind the Cosmic Blocks. | Blue / Pink |
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Galaxy | Missions | Area | Colors (down / up / right / left) |
---|---|---|---|
Rightside Down Galaxy | Breaking the Laws of Gravity, The Great Crate Incinerator, Green Star 1, Green Star 2 | The entire galaxy is composed of many sections of gravity fields. | Blue / Red / Green / Lavender |
Flipsville Galaxy | Flipsville's New Digs, Purple Coin Spin Speed Run | Inside the Dirt Tower Planet is an area with nine separate sections of gravity fields, which alternate in time with the music. | Blue / Red / Green / White |
Upside Dizzy Galaxy | A Walk on the Weird Side, Burning Upside Dizzy, Green Star 1, Green Star 2 | The entire galaxy is composed of many sections of gravity fields. | Blue / Red |
Battle Belt Galaxy | Mini-Planet Mega-Run, Mini-Planet Daredevil Run | Inside the Undergrunt Planet is a circular section of gravity fields, which alternate in time with the music. | Blue / Red |
Super Mario Odyssey
