| |variant_of=[[Block]] | | '''Space Junk''' or '''Cosmic Platforms''' are special platforms appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They come in different varieties, including red or brown octagons, purple cubes, and green and blue rectangular platforms, which are the most common. Normally, they will float around randomly in space; however, when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] comes near them, they will suddenly move into place around him, creating a path for him above a [[Pit|bottomless pit]]. |

These [[platform]]s appear in red or brown octagons, purple cubes, and green and blue rectangular varieties, the latter being the most common. Cosmic blocks normally float around but move into place around [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] when approached, creating a path for him above a [[pit|bottomless pit]].
| | In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', they appear in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] and [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]]. In the Space Junk Galaxy, Mario encounters many of these platforms at the end of the [[Pull Star Path|first mission]]. These platforms branch out into five different pathways, each one holding a [[Silver Star]] at the end. Mario has to traverse the Cosmic Platforms and collect the five Silver Stars to form a [[Power Star]]. Mario also finds Cosmic Platforms in the [[Pull Star Path Speed Run|Speedy Comet mission]] and the [[Purple Coin Spacewalk|Purple Comet mission]] for that galaxy, as both missions involve the same Cosmic Platform area. The format for the Cosmic Platform path is different in the Purple Comet mission, to accommodate the 100 [[Purple Coin]]s. |

| ==History==
| | In [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], pieces of Space Junk appear near the Ice Planet and in the fifth area, being the only means to traverse these areas. These platforms are different, as they are fragile and will shatter several seconds after the path is formed. Near the Ice Planet, there are cube-shaped Space Junk platforms made of ice that Mario can skate on. The fifth area is composed almost entirely of floating Space Junk in the shape of rectangular prisms. Mario must walk along these platforms in 2-D, while avoiding [[Fire Bar]]s and encountering [[gravity field]]s. |

| Cosmic blocks are first encountered in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]], where many appear at the end of the [[Pull Star Path|first mission]], branching out into five pathways, each with a [[Silver Star]] at the end. When a cosmic block moves to form part of a pathway, it makes a sound effect similar to that of a [[shrinking platform]]. Cosmic blocks also appear in the [[Pull Star Path Speed Run|Speedy Comet]] and the [[Purple Coin Spacewalk|Purple Comet]] missions, both taking place in the same cosmic block area. The format for the Space Junk path is different in the Purple Comet [[mission]], to accommodate the 100 [[Purple Coin]]s.

| Pieces of cosmic blocks appear near the ice sphere and in the fifth area of [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], being the only means to traverse these areas. These platforms are fragile and shatter several seconds after the path is formed. Towards the end of the planet are cube-shaped cosmic blocks made of ice that Mario can [[skate]] on. The fifth area is composed almost entirely of floating cosmic blocks in the shape of rectangular prisms. Mario must walk along these platforms in 2D while avoiding [[Fire Bar]]s and encountering [[gravity field]]s.

| | In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Space Junk appears in the [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]] and [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]]. Space Junk appears only in the [[Cosmic Clone]]s mission in Cloudy Court Galaxy, where they form paths for Mario in lieu of the [[Cloud Flower]]. Mario also encounters Space Junk acting as walls, as Mario needs to [[Wall Jump]] up a specific area instead of using clouds. Only the green-and-blue rectangular variety of Space Junk appeared here. |

|
| ===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
| | In the Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy, Space Junk appears on the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy#Palette Planet|Palette Planet]]. Mario must ride the [[Star Ball]] across a short pathway of these platforms. Again, only the green-and-blue rectangular variety appear here. |

| Cosmic blocks are encountered in the [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]] during the [[Cosmic Clone]] mission and in the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]] on the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy#Palette Planet|Palette Planet]]. In the Cloudy Court Galaxy, cosmic blocks form paths for Mario in lieu of the [[Cloud Flower]], though some act as walls, requiring Mario to [[Wall Jump|wall-jump]] up a specific area instead. In the Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy, Mario is required to ride the [[Star Ball]] across a short pathway of cosmic blocks. Only the green and blue rectangular variety of cosmic blocks appears in both galaxies.
