| | A '''Chance Cube''' is an item that appears in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are found in numerous levels and can be found on the surface of [[Starship Mario]] and near below his right ear. Chance Cubes are depicted as a cube with pictures of a [[1-Up Mushroom]], a [[coin]], a [[Star Bit]], and [[Bowser]]'s face. When stationary, it just floats in place. When [[Mario]] hits it, the cube flies back and land in a similar fashion to a [[wikipedia:Dice|die]]. Whatever picture is face up is what Mario will earn. However, even through what will come up is random, they are almost all good things. The exception is the [[Goomba]], which will appear if the Bowser face is showing; but even then, it is not a total loss, for it will give a coin when stomped on or three Star Bits when stunned and kicked. If a 1-Up Mushroom is shown, Mario earns a 1-Up Mushroom. If a coin is depicted, Mario wins 10 coins. If a Star Bit is depicted, Mario earns a single Star Bit. However, if Bowser's face shows up, a Goomba appears. There is also a [[Luma Shop]] in Starship Mario found in a [[Warp Pipe]] next to the ship's "ear" once certain tasks are complete. This allows Mario to feed 30 Star Bits to the Luma to roll a Chance Cube that can give up to five 1-Up Mushrooms at once. Later on there is another one that allows Mario to roll five for 100 coins for a chance to win up to 25 1-Up Mushrooms. The Chance Cubes on Starship Mario have no sides with a Bowser face or a coin. There is a chance that the player either get a Star Bit, one, three or five 1-Up Mushrooms. The [[Co-Star Luma]] can also spin Chance Cubes. |

| '''Chance Cubes''' are items that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are found on [[Starship Mario]] and in several [[galaxy|galaxies]], usually in bonus rooms. Chance Cubes resemble dice, but each side shows either a [[1-Up Mushroom]], a [[coin]], a [[Star Bit]], or [[Bowser]]'s [[emblem]]. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits one, the cube flies back and lands in a similar fashion to a [[Dice Block]]. Whatever image is facing up determines what Mario or Luigi earns. If a 1-Up Mushroom is shown, Mario or Luigi earns a 1-Up Mushroom. If the coin side is facing up, the block bursts into ten coins. If the Star Bit side is facing up, Mario or Luigi earns a single Star Bit. However, if the Bowser emblem shows up, a [[Goomba]] appears.

| Chance Cubes can be accessed on Starship Mario via two [[Lumalee]]s in a [[Warp Pipe]] next to the ship's "ear," once certain tasks are complete. Their Chance Cubes are different, allowing Mario or Luigi to get either a Star Bit or one, three, or five 1-Up Mushrooms. One Lumalee asks for 30 Star Bits to transform into one cube; the other one asks for 100 coins to transform into five cubes.

| The [[Co-Star Luma]] can also spin Chance Cubes. Rolling into one as [[Rock Mario]], burning it with a [[fireball]] as [[Fire Mario]], hitting it with a [[double kick]], rolling a [[snowball]] towards it, or shooting one with a Star Bit also activates it, as does riding [[Yoshi]] and doing a [[Head Shake]]. Moreover, if Mario or Luigi uses a [[spin]] on the cube when it is still rolling, it stops instantly, making it easier to get the desired item. This technique can even cause the cube to stop in midair with precise timing.

| ==Notes==
| |
| *When a Chance Cube is rolled, the player hears a snare drum roll, ended by a cymbal crash once it has landed on an image. The longer it takes for the picture to reveal (an example being when it is rolling down a big hill), the longer the snare drum roll sound is and the later the cymbal crash is heard. However, the faster it reveals, the shorter the sound and the sooner the cymbal crash sound is heard. Sometimes a few snare drum beats can be heard when the player spins multiple Chance Cubes, during the drum roll sound.
