The '''Flipswitch Galaxy''' is the smallest [[galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and contains only one mission. The galaxy is composed of 18 [[Flipswitch Panel]]s which [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) must step on. After all of them have been turned yellow, a [[Power Star]] appears. The background is a scene from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', as shown in the pictures. They periodically switch between variations of [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-1]] and [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]]. The level features a [[Spring Vault]] that produces circular lasers which can damage Mario. Some Flipswitch Panels are also covered with moving [[Spike Trap]]s that can hurt Mario. The music used for this galaxy is an arrangement of the [[Underground Theme|underground theme]] from ''Super Mario Bros.'' This music returns in later games, such as ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.

The Starting Planet is the largest planet in the Flipswitch Galaxy and the only accessible one. It is covered in Flipswitch Panels (18 of them exactly) and several hazards such as spiked platforms and [[electric rail]]s. The platforms and electric rails move around the planet creating hazards for Mario to dodge as he goes through them.

The only other resident of the planet is a Spring Vault that releases circular shockwaves as Mario goes through the planet. Mario must flip all the Flipswitch Panels from blue to yellow and then, when they are all flipped, they will turn green. Once the Flipswitch Panels are green the laser-shooting Spring Vault will turn into a [[Trampoline]] and release a Power Star for Mario to get. The electric barriers and spiked platforms will also be deactivated.

Before Mario lands on the Starting Planet, he flies past 49 [[Brick Block]]s floating in space, which cannot be reached other than through hacking. Each of these blocks contains one [[coin]].<ref>The Beaverhouse (January 31, 2010).

==Trivia==
*At random intervals in the galaxy, the backgrounds will change from level to level from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
*The Flipswitch Galaxy is the smallest galaxy in the game.
*The music used for this galaxy (as well as many other galaxies) is a cover of the underground theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'' This music returns in many later 3D platformers, such as ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. These versions use slight variations, such as an additional, quieter beat in the formerly-silent areas.
