'''Dark matter''' is an obstacle in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It can be found in patches and has a swirly purple-and-black appearance to it; its appearance is similar to that of [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]]. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] touches any dark matter, he disintegrates and loses a life. Dark matter can also burn holes in the ground that make Mario or Luigi lose a life should he fall into one. In the first game, dark matter appears in [[Bowser's Dark Matter Plant]]. Dark matter is rarely found in the second game, appearing in the mission [[Boomsday Machine Daredevil Run]] in [[Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker]] and the mission [[Silver Stars in the Purple Pond]] in the [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]].

==Trivia==
*In reality, {{wp|dark matter}} is a theoretical substance that takes up a significant portion of the universe and explains how the outer edges of a galaxy move faster than projected in their rotation curve. It does not emit or absorb a significant level of radiation of any sort, making it difficult to detect.
