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.
The '''Dusty Dune Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] in the [[Wii]] game, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It has many enemies, including various [[Pokey]]s, [[Tweester]]s, [[Cluckboom]]s, and [[Dry Bones]], as well as many floating sand structures. It can be compared to [[Shifting Sand Land]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
 
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.

[[Image:Drybonessmg.jpg|200px|thumb]]
[[File:SMG Sand Tower.png|left|thumb|200px|The tower on the planet.]]
This is a very large quicksand planet with several pyramids, stone platforms, many tornadoes,
[[File:SMG Welcome to Dusty Dune.png|200px|thumb|The {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}]]
and a few huge dark sand pits. On one side of the planet, there is a very tall tower with a waterfall of sand pouring down the side. Mario must scale this tower to get to the [[Power Star]]. There is also a underground tunnel with [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Thwomp]]s and one huge boulder. This tunnel is the only way between the beginning and the tower.

On one side of the planet, there is a very tall tower with a waterfall of sand pouring down the side. Mario must scale this tower to get to the [[Power Star]] for the mission [[Soaring on the Desert Winds]]. There is also an underground tunnel with [[Piranha Plant]]s that are hanging upside down, [[Thwomp]]s, currents of sand that can force the player back, and a large boulder that can be destroyed by [[Fire Mario]]. This tunnel is the only way between the beginning and the tower. It is possible to defeat the Piranha Plants that are hanging upside down by stepping on them. This can be done by jumping and aiming carefully for their necks.


===Ring Planet===
===Ring Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
This planet is a small stone ring accompanied by four small platforms; on the underside, is a [[Hungry Luma]] and a few items containing a [[Life Mushroom]], a [[Rainbow Star]], and some [[Item Crystal]]s. There are also four [[boulder]]s rolling around the ring.
[[File:SMG Dusty Dune Boulder Ring.png|200px|thumb|The {{conjectural|Ring Planet|planet}}]]
This planet is a small stone ring surrounded by four small platforms. Four [[boulder]]s can be found rolling around the ring. On the underside of the largest platform is a [[Hungry Luma]] and a few [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s with [[Coin]]s and [[Star Bit]]s. A [[Rainbow Star]] can be found on the underside of the middle platform, and a [[Life Mushroom]] can be found on the underside of a smaller platform. If the Hungry Luma is fed, it will transform into the Pyramid Planet.


===Speedy Sand Planets===
===Speedy Sand Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
These three stone planets have some very fast sand moving on them. The first planet is shaped like a snaking line, the second is a ring and the third is a sphere. When [[Mario]] steps in the sand it pushes him forward. On the second planet there are five blue [[Star Chip]]s that Mario must collect in order to progress. There is a [[Warp Pipe]] on the surface of the third planet that leads to the interior.

These three stone planets each consist of stone boulders connected by fast sand currents that move [[Mario]] when he stands in them. The first planet is shaped like a slightly curved tube, the second is a ring, and the third is a sphere. On the second planet, there are five blue [[Star Chip]]s that Mario must collect in order to progress. There is a [[Warp Pipe]] on the surface of the third planet that leads to the interior and a shortcut to the Maze Planet.


===Maze Planet===
===Maze Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
This planet is a disk of quicksand with a two sided maze. One side is tan and the other is gray. This planet features tornadoes, Dry Bones, and a reversible tower.
[[File:SMG Maze Planet.png|thumb|200px|The {{conjectural|Maze Planet|planet}}.]]
This planet is a disk of quicksand with a two-sided maze. One side is tan and the other is gray. This planet features tornadoes, Dry Bones, a Thwomp, and a reversible tower that must be used for the mission [[Blasting through the Sand]] and its Speed Run. This is also the planet on which the mission [[Purple Coins in the Desert]] takes place. [[Captain Toad]] and the [[Toad Brigade]] can be found scattered around this planet during the purple coin mission.


===Disk Planets===
===Disk Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
There are two disk planets. One has a rising and sinking tower on one side and the other side is barren with falling blocks. The other disk has a sinking glass tower on one side and a rising and sinking tower with a Bullet Bill blaster on the other side.
[[File:Dusty Dune Disks.png|thumb|200px|The {{conjectural|Disk Planets|planets}}.]]
There are two disk planets. One has a rising and sinking tower on one side and a sinking glass tower on the other side. The other disk has a rising and sinking tower with a [[Bullet Bill]] blaster on one side while the other side is barren with falling blocks.


===Sand Tide Planet===
===Rising and Sinking Sand Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
This planet is a small planet with several poles sticking out of it to measure the tide of the sand. This planet also has a crab infestation and several coconuts.
[[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]].


===Pokey Planets===
===Pokey Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
Thes are two small planets with a giant pokey on the northern one and tons of coconuts on the southern one.
[[File:Pokey Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|{{conjectural|Pokey Planets|planets}}.]]
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.


===Pyramid Planets===
===Pyramid Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
There are two double sided pyramid planets. One is accessible while the other is not. On the inside of the one that is accessible lies a maze of rising and falling sand where Mario must find five [[Silver Star]]s.
[[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.

===Cacti Planets===
===Cacti Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
These are small cactuses that are apparently planets but are inaccessible. They only float around the Dusty Dune Galaxy.
[[File:Cacti Planets.png|100px|thumb|Six {{conjectural|Cacti Planets|planets}}]]
 
There are large cacti that can be seen, but are not solid or accessible.

===Soaring on the Desert Winds===
[[File:Dustydunetornado.jpg|200px|thumb|right|[[Mario]] scales the tower using tornadoes]]
Here the player must jump from platform to platform, and use the [[Galactic Tornado|tornadoes]] to progress. The player then goes inside a shaft in which they need to jump over sand, wheels and blocks to get out. Once outside again the player has to use the [[Tweester]]s and wall jump to get up the next structure. Once at the top the player needs to break the crystal to get the [[Power Star]].

===Blasting Through the Sand===
After [[Mario]] has defeated some Pokeys and traveled through a few planets in a variety of ways, he will land on a large disc-like planet with holes. Because of the gravity, the planet can be traversed on both sides. To make a large puzzle to reach a distant button which causes the land on the other side to pop up, then if the player runs all the way back to use the higher land to reach the [[Power Star]].

===Sunbaked Sand Castle===
Mario hits a button causing a castle to rise, then travels to a [[Dry Bones]] infested planet where he must get five [[Star Chip]]s. If Mario gets squished with a block that a castle raised up, a castle will stop rising and Mario will lose all of his Health Points in this game. A few planets later Mario must enter a hidden pipe to get into a glass building with a Power Star inside. Unfortunately, the sand begins to rise, and there is no way out, and another gimmick is that the player has to climb the structure upside-down.

==Missions==
===Purple Coins in the Desert (Purple Comet)===
{{SMG missions table|sortable=yes
This level is accessible when a Purple Comet is in orbit. 100 [[Purple Coin]]s are on the sand disc. Some are in the air so the player has to use the Tweesters. The player is not timed on this mission.

|mission4=[[Sandblast Speed Run]]
The player has to do the "Sunbaked Sand Castle" level as normal, until the player gets to the sand tide planet. Mario will have to find a log and ground pound it, causing a trail of [[Music Note]]s to appear. Mario needs to collect all the Music Notes, which will take Mario to a planet with a [[Bill Blaster]] and two switches. Mario will need to [[Ground Pound]] the blue switch and, at the same time, lure a [[Bullet Bill]] into any one of the cages that have risen out of the sand. The cages contain the [[Power Star]], a [[Rainbow Star]], and some [[Star Bit]]s. Also on the planet, there are many [[Dry Bones]], which the player and the Bullet Bill will have to dodge to get to the Star.

===Treasure of the Pyramid===
This hidden [[Power Star]] is accessible from "Blasting Through the Sand". The player must traverse the level until they reach the platform near the [[Boulder]]s, then feed a [[Hungry Luma]] twenty [[Star Bit]]s to create a [[Launch Star]] leading to the bottom of the planet. Once the player is inside the planet, Mario has to collect five [[Silver Star]]s in order to get the [[Green Power Star]].

*The Dusty Dune Galaxy is similarly named to a desert in a [[SNES]] game, ''EarthBound'', named Dusty Dunes Desert. This is most likely a coincidence however.

*The Dusty Dune Galaxy, as well as the [[Battlerock Galaxy]], has the most Power Stars in the game, with a total of seven.

==Trivia==
[[File:SMG Hidden Launch Star.png|thumb|200px|The hacked Launch Star.]]
*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>
**There is also a second unused Launch Star floating in mid-air that is visible in the first mission. This star takes players to the final planet in the second mission.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=IDLE|date=June 30, 2022|url=youtu.be/fhfIZkjD0SM|title=Dusty Dune Galaxy Unreachable Launch Star in Mission 1 - Super Mario Galaxy|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=January 11, 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]]''.
