'''Beat Block Galaxy''' is a galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. This is a very unique stage in which [[Beat Block]]s disappear and reappear to the beat of the music, as the name suggests (it is a pun on "beat-box", where one uses his mouth to make the sounds of hip-hop and electronic music). Another unique feature is that the Wii Remote will beep three times before the blocks swap. These three beeps are also heard elsewhere in the game such as the [[Flipsville Galaxy]], [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]], [[Battle Belt Galaxy]] and [[Flash Black Galaxy]]. Enemies here include [[Octoomba]]s (on the green blocks) and [[Goombeetle]]s (on the orange blocks), although they aren't present in the prankster comet mission. Mario can visit this galaxy after he feeds a [[Hungry Luma]] one thousand [[Star Bits]]. The theme that plays here is a remixed version of the underground theme from ''Super Mario Bros.''

===Beat Block Starting Path===
[[File:BeBlG1.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario on the {{conjecturaltext|Beat Block Starting Path|area}}.]]
[[File:SMG2beatblock.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
This is the first area the player will travel through. It is basically an L-shaped path. In the first part of the area are a few Beat Blocks separated by purple platforms. Near the end of the path, more Beat Blocks are added and a purple platform connects this path with the second path. Inside the Crystal there is a [[Goomba]].

===Beat Block Path 2===
[[File:BeBlG2.png|thumb|200px|Mario on {{conjecturaltext|Beat Block Path 2|area}}.]]
This path is a more advanced version of the first one. The first part of the area is completely made of Beat Blocks, so there is no safe spot. There will be a [[Midway Point]] shortly after and then a path connecting to the final area.
The Comet Medal is on this path.

===Beat Block Pyramid===
[[File:BeBlG3.png|left|thumb|200px|Mario on the {{conjecturaltext|Beat Block Pyramid|area}}.]]
[[File:BeBlG4.png|thumb|200px|Mario on the {{conjecturaltext|Beat Block Pyramid|area}} during the second mission.]]
This area is basically one large pyramid made completely of Beat Blocks except for the corners and platform at the top with five [[Silver Star]]s spread throughout the area. During the [[#Step to the Beep|Step to the Beep]], [[#Green Star 1|Green Star 1]], and [[#Green Star 2|Green Star 2]] missions, only half the pyramid is present. However, during the [[#Silver Stars in Double Time|Silver Stars in Double Time]] mission, the pyramid is complete. The only enemies on here are [[Octoomba]]s and [[Goombeetle]]s. When [[Mario]] has collected the five Silver Stars here, the beat blocks that comprise the pyramid will stop alternating and beeping, and the player is free to collect the [[Power Star]].

==Enemies==
*[[Octoomba]]s (Green Beat Blocks only)
*[[Goombeetle]]s (Orange Beat Blocks only)

==Missions==
===Step to the Beep===
[[File:Step to the Beep.png|thumb|200px|Mario collects Silver Stars.]]
The player will land at the beginning of [[#Beat Block Path 1|Beat Block Path 1]]. They must simply listen to the beat of the music and the sounds of the [[Wii|Wii Remote]] to carefully cross over the many Beat Blocks to the end. The blocks switch after about every four seconds. The first path should be generally easy as there are very few Beat Blocks and the path is short. The second path, however, is completely made of Beat Blocks and is quite long. The [[Comet Medal]] can be obtained halfway down the second path. There will be a [[Midway Point]] and a path that connects to the Beat Block Pyramid. The player must then collect the five [[Silver Star]]s throughout the area to make the [[Power Star]] appear and the Beat Blocks stop moving.

===Silver Stars in Double Time===
[[File:Silver Stars Double Time.png|thumb|200px|Mario quickly collects the last Silver Star.]]
The [[Prankster Comet#Double Time Comet|Double Time Comet]] must be in orbit in order to select this mission. The player will redo the [[#Step to the Beep|Step to the Beep]] mission in this level. However, the Beat Blocks move four times as fast: just a second (despite the course name), the pyramid is complete, the [[Silver Star]]s have been rearranged, and there are no enemies present, apart from one [[Goomba]] in a [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]. Also, [[Yoshi]] is available to ride, and this can help the player by allowing some quick flutter-jumps to prevent falling.

===Green Star 1===
[[File:BeBlG GS1.png|thumb|200px|Luigi near the first Green Star.]]
The player will redo the [[#Step to the Beep|Step to the Beep]] mission. When the player reaches the purple platform that connects the two paths, they should break the [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)| Crystal]] and then backflip followed by a Star Spin to get the [[Green Power Star]] in the top left corner. Alternatively, it is possible to reach this Green Star by performing a [[Triple Jump]] along the Beat Blocks; rotating the camera so that the Star is in front of Mario facing upwards helps.

===Green Star 2===

The player will redo the [[#Step to the Beep|Step to the Beep]] mission. When the player reaches the [[#Beat Block Pyramid|Beat Block Pyramid]], they should go to the purple platform on the right side. The player must climb on the nearby orange Beat Block and perform a backflip off it followed by a [[Star Spin]] to get the Green Power Star.

*A similar mechanic is used in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' at World 4-3, and Special 3-3 where blocks appear and disappear to the beat of the music.
