'''Flip-Swap Galaxy''' is a galaxy that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is located in [[World 1 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 1]] and is based on levels from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Performing a [[Spin Jump]] will make the red and blue [[Red-Blue Panel]]s flip over and swap places. [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s also appear on the red and blue platforms, along with other enemies, like [[Goomba]]s. A [[Star Bunny]] also makes an appearance here and gives out a hint.

==Planets/Areas==
===Flip-Swap Planet===
The {{conjectural|Flip-Swap Planet|planet}} is split up into five different areas, each with their own gimmicks and perks.
{{br}}
====Area 1====
[[File:SMG2 Flip Swap Starting Section.png|thumb|200px|Mario in the first area.]]
The first area of this galaxy is rather simple. It only consists of a few [[Red-Blue Panel|flipping panels]] that change when the player performs a [[Star Spin]]. The player simply needs to time their spins to reach the other side of the planet.
{{br}}

====Area 2====
[[File:SMG2 Flip Swap Second Section.png|thumb|200px|left|Mario in the second area.]]
The next area introduces electrified, moving fences. However, these fences move rather slowly, so they should not be a huge nuisance. In the [[Think Before You Shake]] mission, the panels are attached to each other. However, during the [[Purple Coin Flip 'n' Sprint]] mission, the panels are spread apart, more electric fences are added, and the area is larger. The [[Goomba]]s and [[Octoomba]]s on the platform between Area 1 and Area 2 are gone as well during the Purple Coin mission.
{{br}}

====Area 3====
[[File:SMG2 Flip Swap Third Section.png|thumb|200px|Mario about to access the third area.]]
This next area is rather small and the only real hazard featured here is a large [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]] that rolls around the red panels. During the [[Purple Coin Flip 'n' Sprint]] mission, an electric wire moving back and forth appears on the platform connecting this area with Area 2.
{{br}}

====Area 4====
[[File:SMG2 Flip Swap Fourth Section.png|thumb|200px|left|Mario in the fourth area.]]
In this area, there are now four sets of Chomps. The area is rather large as well. The [[Comet Medal]] as well as the [[Cosmic Guide]] are also found here.
{{br}}

====Area 5====
[[File:SMG2 Flip Swap Final Section.png|thumb|200px|Mario in the fifth area.]]
The final area features faster moving electric fences and the panels are also spread out. During the [[Purple Coin Flip 'n' Sprint]] mission, the electric fences are replaced with two fast-moving electric wires that move across two separate sections of the area.

===Green Stars===
====Green Star 1====
[[File:SMG2 Flip Swap Green Star 1.png|thumb|200px|Mario about to get the first Green Star.]]
This star is found above one of the red platforms in the [[#Area 2|second area]]. The player has to perform a [[Triple Jump]] and [[Spin]] or a well timed [[Somersault|backwards somersault]] and Spin to reach this [[Green Star]]. If the player misses the star, then they can try again if they manage to land on the platforms which will be flipped from the Star Spin.

====Green Star 2====

This Green Star is found above a red platform where the [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s are rolling around in the [[#Area 4|fourth area]]. The player has to perform a [[Triple Jump]] or a well timed [[Somersault]] to reach it while avoiding the Chomp that spawns nearby.
