'''Cosmic Mario''' is a character that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He is a galactic clone of [[Mario]] and thus copies his physical appearance, though he is colored blue with multiple stars and has a higher-pitched voice than his normal counterpart.
'''Cosmic Mario''' is a character that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Its physical shape is identical to [[Mario]], while its outer appearance is blue with stars, resembling space. It 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 it during the race causes it to release [[Star Bit]]s.


Cosmic Mario appears when a [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic Comet|Cosmic Comet]] is orbiting a [[galaxy]]. Upon the player entering, Cosmic Mario appears at the beginning of the [[mission]] and challenges the player to a race. In order to complete the mission, the player must reach the [[Power Star]] before Cosmic Mario does. If Cosmic Mario reaches the Power Star first, the player 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 [[Start Dash]], shown by a yellow color appearing on Mario/Luigi, shrinking gradually as a marker of the end of this effect. This is similar to the [[Rocket Start]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games.

[[Luigi]] also has a cosmic clone, '''Cosmic Luigi''', who replaces Cosmic Mario if the player is playing as Luigi. Unlike Cosmic Mario, Cosmic Luigi takes advantage of shortcuts more often and uses a large number of [[Long Jump|long jump]]s, making him more difficult to beat.
==Cosmic Luigi==
'''Cosmic Luigi''' also appears, replacing Cosmic Mario when the player plays as Luigi. It is very similar to Cosmic Mario, with the only major difference being that it takes advantage of shortcuts more often and uses a large number of [[Long Jump|long jump]]s, making it faster and harder to beat than its counterpart.


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 or Luigi, shrinking gradually as a marker at the end of this effect.
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', despite not being in the game while the player plays as Luigi, [[Cosmic Clone]]s behave very similarly, being slightly faster.

*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>
