| '''Cosmic Cove Galaxy''' is a galaxy in [[World 2 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 2]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is primarily a water-themed level, where players can freeze the water in the first mission to skate on the ice and up waterfalls, or swim through caverns to find key objects. [[Penguin]]s such as [[Coach (Super Mario Galaxy)|Coach]] and [[Penguru]] appear as inhabitants of this galaxy, where they can assist players by giving them helpful hints. Common enemies here include [[Skeeter]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s, as well as underwater enemies such as [[Snoodle]]s. This is the only galaxy in World 2 with two main missions. One of its levels, [[Catch That Star Bunny]], makes Cosmic Cove Galaxy the only galaxy in the game that has a mission that involves catching a [[Star Bunny]].
| |
|
| |
|
| No [[Prankster Comet]]s appear in this galaxy until the [[Green Star]]s become available.

| {{conjecture|section=yes}}
| | This planet consists of a vast lake with lots of corals in it, [[Koopa]]s, Snoodles and [[Cheep Cheep]]s as well. There are several Penguins here. There is also a stone tower with a [[Ground Pound Switch]] on the other side of the lake that freezes the lake when ground pounded on. [[Sling Star]]s can be found in the water that hurl Mario or [[Luigi]] up in the air so the player can collect [[Star Bit]]s |

| Players land on a sandy shore whose only inhabitants are the [[Coach (Super Mario Galaxy)|Coach]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]]. Players need to use the [[Green Shell]] provided by the Koopa to swim through the next area. Many [[Snoodle]]s are found inside the underground tunnel, and a [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]] can be found at the end of the tunnel.

| After players emerge from the tunnel, they appear in this vast area. The entire area is underwater except for some platforms and a tower. The [[Comet Medal]] is located inside one of the giant shells underwater. A [[Jam-o'-War]] lurks underwater as well as many [[Skeeter]]s striding on the water and [[Cheep Cheep]]s. There is a [[Hungry Luma]] here that will transform into the Holey Planet if fed 15 coins. [[Penguru]] can be found on one of these platforms. During the first mission, there is a switch that can freeze the water, allowing the player to traverse it with ease.

| ====Twin Falls==== | | ===Water Maze=== |
| [[File:SMG2 Penguru.png|thumb|left|200px|Penguru explaining to Mario what to do at the Twin Falls.]] | | This area has a body of water hovering in the space, surrounded by several small [[Black Hole]]s. All the liquid of the area forms a maze, with some platforms floating over the surface. Near the end of the area there are some red-framed tubes with large cubical water bubbles moving through them, and a bunch of [[Star Bit]]s forming a [[Star]] in the background. [[Mine]]s, [[Goomba]]s and a [[Jellyfish]] can be found here. Mario visits this planet to move around in a side-scrolling effect to find a [[Key]] and meet a Penguin in this spot. This area can be only accessed through [[Warp Pipe]]s. |
| This area consists of two large waterfalls. After freezing the water, players can [[Wall Jump]] up the waterfalls and onto the pieces of land on which they flow. A [[Power Star]] is located here during the "[[Twin Falls Hideaway]]" mission.

| [[File:SMG2 Cosmic Cove Cosmic Cavern.png|thumb|200px|Mario swimming in the Aquarium Planet A.]]
| |
| The Aquarium Planet A<ref name=Noclip></ref> consists of an underwater sidescroller section with a few Penguins, [[Brick Block]]s and [[Gringill]]s in it. Many [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s grow from the walls of this cavern. A [[Warp Pipe]] that leads to the Aquarium Planet B is found at the end.

|
| ===Aquarium Planet B===
| | After feeding the [[Hungry Luma]] in the first planet fifteen coins, it'll transform into this planet and some Skeeters. It has a [[Star Bunny]] that challanges Mario to catch it. It also has a blue [[! Switch]] that freezes the water if Mario pounds it. The player must be careful not to fall in the [[Black Hole]] in the center of the planet. |

Near the end of the area, there are some red-framed tubes with large cubical water bubbles moving through them and a group of [[Star Bit]]s forming a star in the background. [[Mikey Mine]]s, [[Goomba]]s, a [[Paragoomba]] and a [[Jammyfish]] can be found here. The player visits this planet to move around in a side-scroller to find a [[Key]] to free a [[Luma]] in the [[#Starting Area|Starting Area]].

| ===Drill Water Spring Planet=== | | ==Missions== |
| [[File:SaturnRockPlanet.png|thumb|200px|Mario heading toward the Drill Water Spring Planet.]]
| | {{spoiler}} |
| The Drill Water Spring Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref> is a spherical rock with a large stone wall splitting both halves. Players arrive on bottom side of the planet full of [[Fizzlit]]s here. There is also a [[Spin Drill]] that players must use to get to the other side of the planet. Here, there are some [[Mechakoopa|Micro Mecha-Bowser]]s which players must destroy to unlock the shield protecting a dust patch. After players use a drill on it, water comes out and floods the planet. Players have to swim to the platform where the [[Power Star]] is located. Captain Toad appears near this planet with his [[Starshroom]], wanting to take a swim for his vacation, although he cannot due to the water being frozen.
| | ===Twin Falls Hideaway=== |
| {{br}}
| | To complete this mission, Mario has to dive underwater and swim until he reachs a couple of stairs. Then, he must climb them to get to the top of the stone tower where a switch is located. After pounding it, the water in this area will freeze making Mario able to reach the twin falls' tops. To do so, he has to make a [[Wall Jump]] on each one of them. The [[Power Star]] is in a crystal on the left area. After breaking the crystal, the Star will go to the other side. Mario must jump there and get it. |
|
| |
|
| ===Skate Hole Planet=== | | ===Exploring the Cosmic Cavern=== |
| {{conjecture|section=yes}}
| | Upon entering the galaxy for the second time, Mario will find a [[Luma]] trapped in a glass cage. And, since he activated the switch in the first mission, the water in this one is also frozen. To get the [[Key]] and free the Luma, Mario has to run across the frozen water until he reaches a green [[Warp Pipe]]. He must use it to get into an underwater cavern. Here, he has to make his way to its bottom and use another Warp Pipe. This one will lead him to the last area. Here, he has to dive in the globes of water. He should make his way through them until he finds the area with the key. |
| [[File:StarBunnyPlanet.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario on the Skate Hole Planet.]]
| |
| After players feed the [[Hungry Luma]] in the Cosmic Cove area fifteen coins, it transforms into the Skate Hole Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref>. It has a [[Star Bunny]] that challenges Mario to catch it. It also has a blue [[! Switch]] that freezes the water if Mario pounds it. The player must be careful not to fall in the holes that lead to the [[black hole]] in the center of the planet and be wary of the [[Skeeter]]s that lurk here.

| ===Enemies===
| | After getting the key, the plumber must go through the last warp pipe which takes him back to the galaxy's entrance. The Luma will thank Mario and transform into a [[Launch Star]]. |

| | In the next planet, Mario has to use the [[Spin Drill]] on the right spot to get to the other side. Here, he has to defeat all of the enemies using the drill. When done so, the shield protecting a dust patch will be disabeled. When using the drill on it, water will come out and cover all the planet. Mario has to swim in it to reach the [[Power Star]]. |
| ====Green Star 1====
| |
| [[File:CosmicCoveGS1.png|thumb|200px|Mario jumping to the first Green Star.]]
| |
| Players should do the mission Twin Falls Hideaway. After players freeze the water and wall jump the Twin Falls, they should skip breaking the crystal for freeing the Power Star. Instead, they should jump off the edge of the cliff where the Power Star is to get the level's first Green Star.
