The '''Dusty Dune Galaxy''' (also called '''Dusty Desert'''<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=193|date=November 9, 2007|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-7615-5643-5}}</ref>) is a galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', accessed via the [[Bedroom (Super Mario Galaxy)|Bedroom]]. As a desert-themed location, it mostly consists of planets covered in yellow sand and quicksand, as well as references to stereotypical desert sights such as cacti and Egyptian pyramid-shaped planets and [[tornado]]es. Also owning to its theme, the main enemies found in Dusty Dune Galaxy are [[Dry Bones]] and [[Bone Twister]]s.

 

This galaxy is tied with the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] for the most number of Power Stars in the game, with a total of seven.

 

Along with the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]], this is the only galaxy to play the Speedy/Daredevil Comet theme in a non-comet mission.

[[File:SMG Sand Tide Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario on the {{conjectural|Sand Tide Planet|planet}}.]]

This planet is a small planet with several cones on it. The planet also expands and shrinks slowly. This planet has many [[Crabber]]s, a [[giant prickly plant]], and several [[coconut]]s. A stump with three coins above it is revealed when the sand lowers. There is another stump on this planet that when pounded, will cause music notes to appear. If all the music notes are collected, a [[Sling Star]] will appear taking the player to one of the disk planets. This is necessary to complete to get the hidden star, [[Bullet Bill on Your Back]].

These are two small planets with a [[Big Pokey|Pokeynut]] on the northern one and tons of [[coconut]]s on the southern one. The player needs to defeat the Pokeynut by spinning to throw the coconuts found on the planet. Then, a [[Launch Star]] will appear, taking Mario to the next planet.

[[File:Double Pyramid.png|200px|thumb|The accessible {{conjectural|Pyramid Planet|planet}}.]]

There are two double-sided pyramid planets. One is not accessible and not solid, while the other is after Mario feeds a [[Hungry Luma]] with twenty [[Star Bit]]s. On the inside of the accessible side lies a maze of rising and falling sand that Mario can access when he enters a [[Warp Pipe]] (although it'll close once Mario makes his way inside, trapping him in there until the mission is completed). Here, Mario must find five [[Silver Star]]s, which will make a [[Green Star]] appear. This planet can only be accessed after feeding the Hungry Luma. The player can raise or lower the sand by stepping on some green platforms found in the area. The player must collect all the Silver Stars without being crushed. Once all the Silver Stars are collected, most of the sand will drain out of the pyramid, and the Green Star will reveal itself.

*If the player goes into first-person view on a certain spot on the sinking tower planet, the player can see a Launch Star hovering between two pyramids. It can only be used by a flying hack. If the player does use it, it will lead back to the sinking tower planet.<ref>{{cite|author=SwankyBox|date=May 20, 2019|url=youtu.be/oQaLsJuvXLc|title=The Launch Star You Can Never Reach in Super Mario Galaxy|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=January 12, 2023}}</ref>

*The portion of Dusty Dune Galaxy's theme right before it loops sounds similar to the [[Coin Heaven]] theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
