The '''Beach Bowl Galaxy''' is one of the [[galaxy|galaxies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. The galaxy is accessed from a dome called the [[Kitchen (Dome)|Kitchen]]. The largest planet in this galaxy is a beach area filled with [[Penguin]]s. Its tropical setting is similar to many levels in [[Super Mario Sunshine]].

==Planets==
===Starting Planet===
[[Image:Beach_BowlGbg.jpg|thumb|The Beach Bowl's starting planet.]]
[[Image:Beach Bowl.jpg|thumb|left|Mario and some Penguins on the Beach Bowl Planet.]]
This planet is shaped like a bowl (as the name of the galaxy implies). It is divided into 2 sides: the first, mostly underwater, has a few floating islands and some underwater ruins. The other side has a shallow pool in the middle ringed with grassy knolls. The dividing line between the 2 sides is a steep mountain with a waterfall falling out onto the first side. There is also an underground cave that opens up into the second side of the planet which shelters [[Swooper]]s and [[Goomba]]s. The planet is home to some penguin swimming school students and their teacher, as well as some sea life ([[Urchin]]s and [[Gringill]]s). In the back there is an area with a few [[Piranha Plants]] and some Music Notes in the first Mission. There is also a Secret Underground Cave, reached by launching a [[Koopa Shell]] into a cracked wall.

===Waterfall Planet===
[[Image:Waterfall_Planet.PNG|thumb|The Waterfall Planet.]]
This planet is reached when a treasure chest is opened on the far side of the starting planet (using a Koopa Shell) and using the [[Launch Star]] that appears. It is filled with numerous waterfalls that can be wall-jumped upon using an [[Ice Flower]]. There are 2 [[Cataquacks]] on this planet, which are used in order to obtain a [[Question Coin]], which makes the previously stated Ice Flower appear. In an early image of the game, this planet can be seen in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]].

===Glacier Planet===
[[Image:IceSkatinginSMG 65.jpg|thumb|220px|left|The Glacier Planet.]]
This planet is similar to the starting one, but with an icy design. It is reached when finding a Launch Star while wall-jumping of the waterfalls of the Waterfall planet. There is a giant body of water in the bowl filled with tiny icebergs. At the beginning of the planet, there is an [[Ice Flower]] encased in a crystal. It is used to transform into [[Ice Mario]], and skate across the water and reach the icebergs. There is also a Cataquack, which can be used to obtain [[Coin]]s, [[Star Bit]]s, and even a [[Power Star]].

===Cyclone Stone===
[[Image:Beach_BowlGbg2.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A portion of the galaxy known as the Cyclone Stone.]]

A rather unusual planet for this galaxy, reached when finding a Launch Star in the Secret Underground Cavern of the starting planet. The planet itself is a twisted stone path filled with [[Thwomp]]s and [[Tox Box]]es. In the center is a large path of rushing water, leading into a [[Black Hole]]. The end is graced with a [[Power Star]] encased in a crystal. When a [[Prankster Comet]] is in orbit, the enemies move twice as fast.

==Levels==
===Sunken Treasure===
The swim students are distracted by the 5 [[Star Chip]]s under the water. [[Mario]] needs to collect all of them. The resulting [[Launch Star]] blasts Mario to the upper part of the main planet. The player will have [[Ground Pound]] the red switch to activate some platforms, and Mario will have to quickly backflip and [[Spinning|Spin]] onto the platforms to reach the top of the planet. The player needs to Ground Pound the red switch here to activate some timed walls that Mario can use to [[Wall Jump]] to the [[Power Star]].

===Passing the Swim Test===
The player needs to talk to the Penguin Coach, and he will tell Mario that the final swim test is today. To pass the swim test, he must obtain the [[Golden Koopa Shell]]. The gold shell is in the possession of a fast-moving penguin underwater, so Mario must catch up to him and Spin to steal the shell away. Mario will have to take the gold shell to the Penguin Coach to obtain the Power Star.

===The Secret Undersea Cavern===
To enter the undersea cavern, the player needs to simply dive underwater, grab a Koopa Shell, and toss it at the breakable blocks in the wall that lines the ocean. Then the player has to swim through the tunnel to reach the land on the other side and Mario needs to break the crates in the fence and the crates on the other side to reveal a Launch Star. The Launch Star will send Mario flying to an area called the Cyclone Stone. The Cyclone Stone is a long stone path filled with [[Tox Box]]es and [[Thwomp]]s. Mario must dodge all enemies to reach the end of the path, where the [[Power Star]] awaits. In a pre-release version of the game, this star is known as ''Keepers of the Sky Gauntlet''.

===Fast Foes on the Cyclone Stone===
[[Image:Cyclonestone.jpg|thumb|left|The Cyclone Stone]]
This [[Power Star]] is accessible when a [[Prankster Comet|Fast Foe Comet]] appears over the Beach Bowl Galaxy. Mario begins this level on the Cyclone Stone encountered in ''The Secret Undersea Cavern''. He must reach the other end of the Cyclone Stone to gain the Power Star, as before, but this time the [[Thwomps]] and [[Tox Box]]es move much more quickly.

===Beachcombing for Purple Coins===
This Power Star is accessible when a Purple Comet appears over the Beach Bowl Galaxy. Mario must collect the hundred [[Purple Coin]]s scattered around the main planet. Only five of them are located in the sea; the rest are scattered around the landmasses. There is a [[Spring Mushroom]] located behind the waterfall that will aid in the collection of some Purple Coins. This Purple Coin mission has no time limit.

===Wall Jumping Up Waterfalls===
This hidden Power Star is accessible from both ''The Secret Undersea Cavern'' and ''Passing the Swim Test''. The player will have to grab a Koopa Shell and break the chest located to the right of the waterfall (when facing the main landmass), revealing a Launch Star. Mario will land on a planet with many waterfalls, a ? Coin floating high in the air, and a [[Cataquack]]. The player needs to lure a Cataquack under the ? Coin to collect it, which will make an [[Ice Flower]] appear. After obtaining the item, [[Mario]] has to wall jump up waterfalls. The Power Star floats high above an isolated snowy island, and another small island contains a Cataquack. Mario must grab the Ice Flower, head to the Cataquack's island, and then create an icy bridge to allow the Cataquack to reach the island with the [[Power Star]]. However, the icicles moving in the water may break your icy bridge, costing the player some time. The Cataquack will then launch Mario into the [[Power Star]], completing the mission.

==Trivia==
*The Cyclone Stone planet made an appearance in [[Super Mario Galaxy 2]] as it's own galaxy called [[Stone Cyclone Galaxy]]. It has some minor changes but the biggest change is that it has even faster foes than the "Fast Foes on the Cyclone Stone" mission.
