'''Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada''' is a Bowser Jr. [[galaxy]] found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. This galaxy is actually a very large group of [[Airship]]s, including a flagship piloted by [[Bowser Jr.]] which [[Mario]] must attack and sink. Also, Mario will be attacked by many enemies while trying to get to Bowser Jr. to get the [[Grand Star]]. Several languages, including the original Japanese, refer to the galaxy as a factory that manufactures the airships. The music of this galaxy is the same arrangement of the [[Airship Theme]] that is heard when [[Bowser]] attacks [[Peach's Castle]] at the beginning of both ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

===Airships===

When Mario arrives on the first Airship, he will find several Electrogoombas on board the ship. Past the enemies is a cannon, which Mario can use to fire himself to the second airship. Here, the player should avoid several [[Sentry Beam]]s and a [[Magikoopa]], and make way to the next cannon, proceeding to the third Airship, avoiding some [[Bullet Bill]]s. However, at the first airship, by aiming towards the left, the player should be able to shoot to the third airship and grab the pull star, skipping the second airship. The third Airship marks a [[checkpoint]] and contains [[Wiggler]]s, a [[Mandibug]], [[Lumalee]] and [[Captain Toad]]. When Mario hits a switch on a platform, it will start to move. Once Mario avoids the [[Cannonball]]s fired from several unreachable galleon-class airships and makes it to the other side, the player will arrive at the fourth and final Airship. Here, Mario must battle Bowser Jr. and his flagship. If [[Bowser Jr.]] is hit with a [[Star Bit]] or [[Koopa Shell]] during the battle, he falls over and releases 20 Star Bits. This only happens once. When Bowser Jr. is taken down, Mario will receive a Grand Star, unlocking The [[Bedroom (Super Mario Galaxy)|Bedroom]].

===Trampoline Planet===

If Mario aims to the right on the first Airship's cannon, he will spot a tiny green planet with several Goombas on it. The planet is very bouncy, allowing Mario to easily squish the [[Goomba]]s. If he destroys them all, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] will appear. A sling star will take [[Mario]] to the second airship.

===Invisible Box===
[[File:SMG Invisible Box.png|thumb|left|200px|The area of the invisible box]]
Just beyond the boss area, there is a large invisible box<ref>SwankyZone (January 19, 2018). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1sfEFXUALM&t=3s The MASSIVE Invisible Box in Space! (''Super Mario Galaxy'')]. ''YouTube.'' Retrieved May 6, 2018.</ref> in the asteroid field. This box does not let Mario in, but objects like the [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] [[Green Shell|shells]] and [[Bullet Bill|Bullet Bills]] can pass through it with no problem. The purpose of the box is to stop the player from boarding Bowser Jr.'s ship, despite the fact that it is impossible to access normally.

==Trivia==
*The battle with [[Bowser Jr.]] in this galaxy and the battle with [[Megahammer]] in [[Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet]] are similar in that each features the use of a [[Sling Star]] during the battle. Incidentally, these two battles are the only situations between the two games in which a Sling Star may be used in a battle with either [[Bowser]] or Bowser Jr.
*This galaxy is the only boss galaxy where [[Lumalee]] appears in the original game, as well as one of two boss galaxies between both ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games where one is present, the other being [[Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet]].
