'''Cosmic Clones''' are shadowy duplicates of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They copy Mario or Luigi's every move, even his death animation if he loses a life. They appear to be a successor to [[Cosmic Mario]]: They are strikingly similar to it, sharing the same voice as it, and their theme is the [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic Comet|Cosmic Comet]] theme from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' (a {{wp|semitone|half step}} higher pitch and an edited opening section, which in turn is a cover version of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] and [[Underground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The only difference is their color and the Cosmic Clones' glowing yellow eyes.


==History==
'''Cosmic Clones''' (or '''Shadow Clones''') are shadowy duplicates of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Cosmic Clones are created once a certain point is reached in a [[galaxy]] and will follow behind Mario or [[Luigi]], performing every movement the plumber makes. Once the way out of the area Mario is in is revealed, they will disappear, leaving behind a multiple of 3 [[Star Bit]]s. If Mario touches a clone, he will take damage, so horizontal movement is necessary for survival. [[Boards (Super Mario Galaxy)|Boards]] usually warn the plumber that Cosmic Clones are present in the area. Cosmic Clones also are able to walk where there is no platform if it is necessary for following Mario. Also, Cosmic Clones will do whatever Mario did, even if the landscape has recently been change. Upon contact the single cosmic clone dies, so if there is only a certain amount Mario can kill them all by walking into them though taking damage. Once the Cosmic clones vanish, due to the requirements of a galaxy being met, they will scream for a few seconds.
===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Cosmic Clones are created once a certain point is reached in a [[galaxy]] and follow behind Mario or Luigi, mimicking every movement he makes. [[Boards (characters)|Boards]] usually warn Mario and Luigi that Cosmic Clones are present in the area, although they also appear when a [[Prankster Comet#Clone Comet|Clone Comet]] orbits a galaxy.  


Cosmic Clones mimic whatever Mario or Luigi does, even if the landscape has recently been changed. For example, they can [[jump]] on a [[platform]] where Mario or Luigi was standing, even if it has disappeared or moved. If Mario or Luigi gets hit by a clone, he receives damage and the clone vanishes, with the rest of the clones then mimicking the player character taking damage. Once the way forward is revealed, the clones scream, disappear, and release three [[Star Bit]]s each.

Only the first clone uses voice clips when jumping. If the player is hurt by the first Cosmic Clone, the other ones only play sound effects.

Cosmic Clones appear in the Special Worlds of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where they resemble [[Small Mario]]. Regardless of which character encounters a Cosmic Clone, the clones always resemble Mario's appearance more than Luigi's. They act as they do in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', but they have a purple outline instead of a red one, and only one appears instead of a group; this one does not vanish if Mario or Luigi touches it. Mario or Luigi can defeat the Cosmic Clones by touching them while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] or by touching the level's [[Goal Pole]]; they give three [[coin]]s upon defeat. Upon the player reaching a certain area (normally the level's halfway point), the Cosmic Clone disappears. If the player leaves that area, the Cosmic Clone appears again, even if it has been defeated with a [[Super Star]].

This game also introduces [[Big Cosmic Clone]]s, which have a slower and lower-pitched voice and are four times as big. They can also destroy [[Brick Block]]s on contact, and they give ten coins when defeated.
 
The clones' theme music is the same as in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', albeit with most of the fading cosmic synth pads removed.

==Trivia==
<references/>
*The Cosmic Clone's theme is a remix of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' overworld and underground theme, like Cosmic Mario's (or Cosmic Luigi's) theme from the prequel.
 
*Cosmic Clones also share the same tone of voice as Cosmic Mario's and Cosmic Luigi's: a high-pitched voice that is strikingly similar to Bowser Jr.'s, and another trait is that Cosmic Clones look like Cosmic Mario or Luigi, but Cosmic Mario or Luigi cannot hurt the brothers, and they have a starry display and their bodies are blue.
*Another noteworthy thing is that Cosmic Clones, perhaps the reason that Cosmic Clones will follow Mario or Luigi ''anywhere'', they obviously are not too bright, this is because if Mario or Luigi fall from the stage, they will do so.
