| '''Cosmic Mario''' is a character that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. His physical shape is identical to [[Mario]], while his outer appearance is blue with stars, resembling space. He also has a high-pitched voice. If Mario enters a [[galaxy]] when a [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic Comet|Cosmic Comet]] is orbiting that galaxy, Cosmic Mario appears at the beginning of the [[level]] and challenges the player to a race. The player must then race through numerous obstacles and reach the [[Power Star]] before Cosmic Mario does. If Cosmic Mario manages to reach the Power Star first, Mario loses a life and must restart the race. Colliding with Cosmic Mario during the race causes him to release [[Star Bit]]s.

| At the start of a race, if the player holds {{button|wii|Stick}} up, then {{button|wii|Z}} when the timer reaches "2," and then hits {{button|wii|A}} just as the race starts, Mario or [[Luigi]] gets a [[Rocket Start|Start Dash]], shown by a yellow color appearing on Mario/Luigi, shrinking gradually as a marker of the end of this effect.

| ==Cosmic Luigi==
| | '''Cosmic Mario''' is a character in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He appears as a starry clone of [[Mario]], similar in appearance to [[Shadow Mario]]. When a [[Cosmic Comet]] is a galaxy, Cosmic Mario will appear from it and challenge Mario to a race. Mario then has to get through numerous obstacles against Cosmic Mario to get the [[Power Star]]. |
| '''Cosmic Luigi''' also appears, replacing Cosmic Mario when the player plays as Luigi. He is very similar to Cosmic Mario, with the only major difference being that he takes advantage of shortcuts more often and uses a large number of [[Long Jump|long jump]]s, making him faster and harder to beat than his counterpart. | |

| | If the player is playing as [[Luigi]], Cosmic Luigi will appear in place of Cosmic Mario. Cosmic Luigi is far more intelligent, making use of short cuts and many long jumps. As a result, he is much faster than Cosmic Mario. This is done to add some extra challenge when playing as Luigi. |

| *[[Shadow Mario]] | | *Cosmic Mario's appearance is similar to Shadow Mario, a disguise of [[Bowser Jr.]] which he created with the [[Magic Paintbrush]]. However, the Magic Paintbrush was found by the runner [[Il Piantissimo]] on the beach in the ending of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and he could have used the Paintbrush to become Cosmic Mario. |

| *An unused Cosmic Mario race in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] is found in the game files. When players start a race, they start at the coordinate 0,0,0, which is the air on which they land on the starting planet. Cosmic Mario cannot win this race, and players still have to use [[Star Chip]]s to unlock a [[Launch Star]], but Cosmic Mario does not need to use the Star Chips to use a Launch Star. Cosmic Mario does not use voice clips in this variant.<ref>

| |
