'''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 all over. He is similar in appearance to [[Shadow Mario]]. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] enter a galaxy when a [[Prankster Comet|Cosmic Comet]] is orbiting a galaxy, Cosmic Mario appears at the beginning at the level and challenge the player to a race. The player must then race through numerous obstacles and reach the finish before Cosmic Mario to earn a [[Power Star]].

'''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.
If the player is playing as [[Luigi]], Cosmic Luigi will appear in place of Cosmic Mario. Cosmic Luigi utilizes short cuts and many [[Long Jump (move)|long jumps]]. As a result, he is much more difficult to beat, and faster than Cosmic Mario.

'''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.
Cosmic Mario has a very high-pitched voice. Cosmic Luigi has the same voice as Cosmic Mario, despite the fact that their regular counterparts, Mario and Luigi, have different voices from each other. However, when Cosmic Mario appears in front of Mario, he says, "Come on!" while Cosmic Luigi says, "Let's go!"

Cosmic Mario appears to be the equivalent of [[Koopa the Quick]] and [[Il Piantissimo]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', respectively. [[Spooky Speedster]], also from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', is a racer as well.

==Trivia==
*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>
SPG64 (August 20, 2021). [https://youtu.be/0uioif9olew Unused Space Junk Cosmic Race in Super Mario Galaxy]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved January 2, 2023.</ref>
*Cosmic Mario/Cosmic Luigi's theme uses a similar arrangement to [[Shadow Mario]]'s theme of the same music, the [[Underground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
*On the covers for the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2 Original Soundtrack]]'', Mario's silhouette is dark blue covered in stars, resembling Cosmic Mario.
*Prior to Cosmic Mario's debut, [[Metal Mario]] had an alternate color scheme where he could be selected into blue in ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]].
*The Cosmic Mario/Cosmic Luigi races are the only races in the game that do not have placement markers for what place Mario/Luigi is in.
