| '''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. | | '''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 orbiting a galaxy, which can be either [[Honeyhive Galaxy]], [[Freezeflame Galaxy]], [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]], or [[Sea Slide 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]]. |
|
| |
|
| [[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. | | 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. |

|
| 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. However, Cosmic Luigi sounds the same as Cosmic Mario, despite normal Mario & Luigi having different sounding voices. |

| | 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. |

| | *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'', which may suggest that Cosmic Mario is Il Piantissimo disguised using the Paintbrush. |
