The '''Cosmic Spirit''' is a new character in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The Cosmic Spirit has a female [[human]] shape, and has a strong resemblance to [[Rosalina]] from the [[Super Mario Galaxy|first game]].

The '''Cosmic Spirit'''<ref>"''In some galaxies, if you lose enough lives, the Cosmic Spirit will appear somewhere. Speak to her and ask for her help to activate Cosmic Guide. It will show you the way to the Power Star. But remember, any Power Stars you earn this way will be Bronze Stars.''" – ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' instruction booklet, page 22.</ref> is a [[list of characters|character]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. She highly resembles [[Rosalina]], and she appears when [[Mario]] loses too many lives in a [[level]]. She acts much like the [[Super Guide]], taking control of Mario to help the player complete the level. Accepting the Cosmic Spirit's help degrades the [[Power Star]] at the end of the level to a [[Bronze Star]]. Should the player wish to collect the true Power Star at the end, they must complete the level without the Cosmic Spirit's help. The Cosmic Spirit appears in only 20 [[galaxy|galaxies]], up to 22 Power Stars in total.


When Mario talks to the Cosmic Spirit, she asks if he needs to be shown the way to get to a Power Star. If the player agrees to do so, the Cosmic Spirit transforms into a blue orb and encircles Mario's body, gaining control of him and activating the Cosmic Guide mode. Unlike the Super Guide, the Cosmic Spirit does not disappear, even when the level is completed without her. The Cosmic Spirit leads Mario to the Power Star without collecting [[coin]]s or [[Star Bit]]s on the path she takes along the way, but she does not take too much effort in avoiding them. If the player feels that they can take care of the rest, they can press {{button|wii|+}} on the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] to regain control of Mario.  
When [[Mario]] talks to her, she asks if he needs to be shown the way to get to a [[Power Star|Star]]. If the player agrees to do so, the Cosmic Spirit will transform into a blue orb and encircle Mario's body, gaining control of him and carry out the Cosmic Guide mode. The Cosmic Spirit will lead Mario to the Power Star. If the player feels that he/she can take care of the rest, he/she can press the Direction pad on the [[Wii|Wii Remote]] to regain control of Mario. However, upon activating the Cosmic Guide, the Power Star will instantly degrade to a [[Bronze Star]].  Keep note however that the Cosmic Spirit will not appear unless the player lost too many lives trying to get a certain star.


The Cosmic Spirit has some similarities to [[Cosmic Mario|Cosmic Mario and Cosmic Luigi]]. They are all cosmic counterparts to actual characters. However, the main difference between them is that Cosmic Mario and Cosmic Luigi antagonize the player, instead of helping the player. Also unlike with Cosmic Mario and Cosmic Luigi, the Cosmic Spirit's voice is not a distorted version of Rosalina's, whereas the other Cosmic characters have distorted voices of their respective counterparts.
On a side note, the Cosmic Spirit has some similarities to [[Cosmic Mario|Cosmic Mario]] and [[Cosmic Mario|Cosmic Luigi]]; they're all cosmic counterparts to actual characters (Cosmic Spirit to Rosalina, Cosmic Mario to Mario, and Cosmic Luigi to [[Luigi]]). However, Cosmic Mario and Cosmic Luigi antagonized players instead of helping them.

==Trivia==
[[Category:Characters]]
*The coloration of the Cosmic Spirit is very similar to the coloration of the inside of [[Count Bleck]]'s shadowy cape, as both feature dark blue starry sky-like colorations that remain stationary independent of the movements of the character. Her appearance is also very similar to that of [[Cosmic Mario|Cosmic Mario/Luigi]], right down to the coloration and lack of visible eyes.
[[Category:Super Mario Galaxy 2]]
*Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla is the only boss galaxy in which the Cosmic Spirit appears, and therefore the only galaxy where one can potentially get a bronze [[Grand Star]] if she is used.
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the underside of Rosalina's dress is colored black/dark blue and has a glittery star pattern like the Cosmic Spirit, as opposed to being white or blue like in her other appearances in the games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].
*The Cosmic Spirit never appears for [[Luigi]], no matter how many times the player loses a life. If she was already seen in a certain level, she will reappear when the player switches back to Mario.
