'''Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet''' is a galaxy in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is located in [[World 4 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 4]]. The level is based entirely on gravitational forces. Most of the level involves sidescrolling, except for the beginning and the end. The level is covered in lava, but there is one part where Mario will need to swim through water to get through the level. [[Magikoopa]]s are common enemies here and can summon [[Li'l Cinder]]s at will. [[Firebar]]s are placed throughout the whole level, even underwater. Fireballs also defy gravity because they can change direction in midair. When Mario reaches the end, [[Bowser]] will challenge Mario to a battle. Bowser battles in the same manner as in World 2, except he can create shockwaves and leave a trail of fire.

The starting planet a large fortress where there appears to be almost no normal gravity at all. The castle is surrounded by lava and fireballs shoot from these fiery seas. When Mario enters the castle, he will find more fireballs jumping out of the lava. As he progresses, he will switch to walking on the walls and eventually on the great ceilings. Beyond these, there is an underwater section with [[Firebar|firebars]] and [[Cheep Cheep]]s. Near the end is a spinning platform and a small section with a [[Whomp]], just before the door before the Bowser Battle Planet.

==={{conjecturaltext|Large Door Planet|planet}}===

A circular planet where Mario must Ground Pound three [[Meteorite]]s at three large locks in order to open the door leading to the next battle with Bowser. Additional Meteorites will rise up from the ground whenever Mario Ground Pounds the previous ones to launch them at the locks on the large door. A [[Checkpoint Flag]] is also found here, along with two [[Item Crystal]]s; one contains a [[Life Mushroom]], the other contains some [[Star Bit]]s.  

==={{conjecturaltext|Throne Planets|planet}}===

A small planet shaped like a star, in front of which is another planet that acts as Bowser's throne. When Mario first appears here, Bowser will be absent, but will quickly come crashing down to the planet. After talking to Mario, Bowser will send him to the Bowser Battle Planet.

It is very similar to the first battle planet, except for the fact that it is more deteriorated. It is a small planet made out of small bricks and a few rocks with coins.

==Missions==

===Breaking into Bowser's Castle===

First, Mario lands on Bowser's Castle. They need to pass a [[Dry Bones]], Four [[Podoboo]]s and a [[Firebar]]. Mario then gets on a Metal Platform and the gravity changes, and there is a [[Magikoopa]]. Then the gravity changes and Mario avoids eight Firebars. A [[Life Mushroom]] can be found on the corner. The gravity changes again and again until Mario enters the castle. Mario can find a Checkpoint here. On top of a [[Brick Block]], Mario can find the Comet Medal. After the gravity changes four more times, Mario enters some water. Enemies in the water include [[Cheep Cheep]]s and Firebars. When Mario exits the water, there is another Checkpoint. Above it Mario can find a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. The gravity changes and Mario comes to two Whomps. The gravity changes again and Mario finds a Firebar Spinning Platform, and a [[Launch Star]]. The player comes to the Big Door Planet. Mario needs to jump onto the [[Meteor]]s and [[Ground Pound]] them into the locks. The door draws Mario in and he end up on the Bowser Throne Planet. Upon arrival, Bowser does not seem to be there. [[Luma]] is puzzled and looks around for him. A grumble is heard, and Bowser appears. Then Mario and Bowser battle. To defeat him, Mario must hit him with a Meteor four times, much like the last battle. After a few hits, Bowser gets angry. Once defeated, he loses another [[Grand Star]] and shrinks back to regular size. He says that his Master Plan is going well and Mario can't stop him. Then, Mario obtains the fourth Grand Star and travels back to [[Starship Mario]], where the portal to [[World 5 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 5]] is opened.

The [[Prankster Comet#Speedy Comet|Speedy Comet]] must be in orbit in order to selection this mission. This [[Power Star]] is at the very end of Bowser's Castle, on the left side of where the launch star was. To collect the power star, the player must [[Wall Jump|wall jump]] on the wall that separates half on the final part to collect the star, and Mario must do this within the time alloted to finish the level by getting [[Timer (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|Stopwatches]] along the way.

===Green Star 1===

The first [[Green Power Star|Green Star]] in this galaxy is on a sunken pillar in lava near the entrance to the castle. Mario can backward somersault onto the pillar. Also, Mario can jump into the lava to bounce up onto the pillar and grab the Star.

===Green Star 2===

The second [[Green Power Star|Green Star]] in this galaxy is at the end of the castle above a [[Question Block]]. Mario can backward somersault and [[Star Spin|Spin]] to get the star. It is ideal to get the star with [[Luigi]] instead of [[Mario]].
