The '''Buoy Base Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. The galaxy contains a large fortress floating atop a large, semispherical pool of water.  Mario has to climb this fortress in order to get the main [[Power Star]] in this galaxy. The galaxy is one of two galaxies (the other one being the [[Gateway Galaxy]]) to only feature two [[Power Star]]s. It is also the only bonus galaxy to have more than one Power Star.


An arrangement of this galaxy's music appears as one of the selectable songs that can be played in events in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''.

The '''Buoy Base''' is the main part of the Buoy Base Galaxy that consists of a large pool of water and an area above it which contains many obstacles, including [[Topman|Topmen]], [[Thwomp]]s, and [[Amp]]s. The main objective of this part of the planet is to collect five blue [[Star Chip]]s to form a [[Pull Star]] leading to a sphere planet filled with water. Submerged in the large pool of water at the bottom of the planet are multiple [[Bill Blaster]]s and [[Torpedo Ted]]s. A secret caged [[Warp Pipe]] in the pool of water leads to the underside of the planet, where more Bill Blasters and a cage containing a [[Green Power Star]] can be found.

The '''Water Sphere Planet''' is a giant sphere filled with water above the Buoy Base. It has a screw on it that Mario must Star Spin to open the planet and retrieve a power star inside of it and also two pulse-wave generating machines, one of which is actually the screw. It is remarkably small in comparison to the Buoy Base and is similar (or a possible reference) to a ''{{wp|gashapon}}'' capsule. It also bears resemblance to a [[List of Super Smash Bros. series items#Poké Ball|Poké Ball]] from the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon|''Pokémon'' franchise]] as mentioned in the [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide.

*The second mission in the [[Space Storm Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' appears to be partially based on the first mission in the Buoy Base Galaxy, even utilizing the same background music and [[Space Storm Galaxy#Topman's Tower|a similar-looking tower]], which features many of the same obstacles and enemies, such as [[Thwomp]]s and [[Amp]]s, and has an overall similar appearance (excluding of course the wide portion towards the bottom of the tower on the Topman Tower Planet).

**Unlike Gateway Galaxy as well as the two-star galaxies in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the mission select screen shows the two Power Stars on top of each other rather than side-by-side.
*Buoy Base is one of two galaxies (the other one being [[Gateway Galaxy]]) that feature two Power Stars to collect.
*Buoy Base has a [[List of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content#Unused planets|unused low poly version]] that shows much more islands and content under the level. The low poly version indicates it was originally going to be part of a much larger galaxy.
