| | '''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. 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]]''. 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 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.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| [[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. | | [[Image:Cosmic_Luigi.png|thumb|Luigi vs '''Cosmic Luigi''' in Freezeflame Galaxy.]] |

|
| 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.
| | 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. |

| | Similar entities based on Cosmic Mario appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the form of the [[Cosmic Clone]]s and the [[Cosmic Spirit]]. Cosmic Clones are slightly different in appearance and mimic Mario's movements, all the while spawning more of themselves, usually in areas where if Mario waits too long, they'll multiply to the point where he can't get around and they'll catch up to him. The Cosmic Spirit is the equivalent of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Super Guide Block]], controlling Mario to guide him to a Bronze Star (the Gold Star can only be obtained without the help of the Cosmic Spirit). |

| *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 does not use voice clips in this variant.<ref>

| |
