| | The '''Gateway Galaxy''' is one of the many [[galaxy|galaxies]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' for the [[Wii]]. [[Princess Rosalina]] calls this galaxy the "Gateway to the Starry Sky". It serves as the opening level for the game. This is the first Galaxy in the game, and after [[Mario]] clears the first level in the Galaxy, he won't be able to return until he unlocks the [[Gate (SMG)|Gate]], later on in the game. |
| The '''Gateway Galaxy''' is the first of the many [[galaxy|galaxies]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' for the [[Wii]]. It serves as the opening level for the game and after [[Mario]] clears its first mission. The galaxy is one of two galaxies (the other one being the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]]) to only feature two [[Power Star]]s. It is unrevisitable until the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|Gate]] is unlocked later on in the game. It has the only [[Purple Coin]] mission in the game that can be played before beating [[Bowser]]. This galaxy is one of the two galaxies to have a purple coin mission without a [[Prankster Comet]], the other one being the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]]. The Gateway Galaxy also contains the only [[Grand Star]] not obtained by fighting a [[List of bosses|boss]], as well as the only [[red Power Star]] in the game. | |

| =====Starting Planet=====

| [[File:Gatewayplanet.png|200px|thumb|left|The Starting Planet]]
| |
| This is the first planet that Mario explores in the game. It is where Mario first wakes up after being blasted off [[Peach's Castle]] by [[Kamek]] in the opening cutscene. Here, he meets two yellow [[Luma]]s as well as an apricot Luma who transform into [[Star Bunny|Star Bunnies]] and asks him to play hide and seek with them. When they are all found, a large light beam goes down from the sky, and the gateway appears, and it is where Mario meets [[Rosalina]] for the first time. The planet itself has three holes in its surface (two of which connect to each other directly through the center of the planet), many small patches of flowers, two connecting [[Warp Pipe]]s, several [[rubbery bulb]]s, two small pools of water, two small cottages, a ring of vertically-positioned rock columns, and a castle-like monument on the top. The planet is also surrounded by a light blue atmosphere. Later in the game, Mario must use the power of the [[Red Star]] to collect 100 Purple Coins on this planet, enabling him to use the Red Star onboard the [[Comet Observatory]] as well. Rosalina mentions that this planet is dear to her and she looks forward to visiting it with the Lumas every one hundred years. | |

| [[Deep Dark Galaxy#Gateway Galaxy Planet|A planet]] found in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]] resembles the Starting Planet of the Gateway Galaxy. It can be seen from the [[Deep Dark Galaxy#Wooden Planet|Wooden Planet]], as well as the [[Deep Dark Galaxy#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]]. The planet is accessible via a [[cannon]] on the latter, and is much smaller than the original one. There are three [[Goomba]]s here, and a yellow screw that can be unscrewed by [[Spin|spinning]] it, which will cause the planet to quickly shrink and disappear, at the same time revealing a large ring of [[coin]]s.
| |
| | |
| After the credits have rolled, when the player has collected 120 [[Power Star]]s and defeated [[Bowser]] for a second time, the ending sequence that plays occurs here. In the sequence, Rosalina thanks the player and says that she will watch over them from beyond the stars. She then walks into the door of the small blue-roofed cottage on the planet and comes out of the door of the Gate, thereby revealing that the two are connected. It is also revealed that the Comet Observatory is most likely hidden somewhere on the planet (although it cannot be seen when the player actively explores it), as it emerges from behind the planet after Rosalina transforms it into a comet once again and pilots it away.

| |
| The Black Hole Planet<ref>Name confirmed by files found on noclip. [https://noclip.website/#smg/HeavensDoorGalaxy].</ref> is a planet made of nothing more than dirt, grass and stone. There is a [[black hole]] at its center, and it is also under constant bombardment by a [[meteor]] shower. There are five yellow [[Star Chip]]s on this planet that Mario must collect in order to proceed, as well as a rock with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] on top of it.

| |
| [[File:Metal Planets.png|200px|thumb|The two metal planets in the Gateway Galaxy.]]
| |
| These are two metal planets which look very similar to one another. Both planets are brown in color, and have what appears to be metallic green power cables embedded in their surfaces which snake around the planets. In addition, both planets have [[Shock Wave Generator]]s that, when spun, will send vibrations across them, stunning all enemies within range. There are many [[Goomba]]s on both of these planets, as well as several [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|crystal]]s. Also, on the second of the two is a [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]], the only one in the entire game. The Flipswitch Area is located inside the second metal planet, and is accessed via a [[Warp Pipe]].

| |
| [[File:SMG Gateway Metal Planet Interior.png|200px|thumb|The draining device]]
| |
| When the player enters the Warp Pipe on the bottom of the second Metal Planet, he will be taken to an inverted, spherical metal chamber with many [[Goomba]]s and [[Flipswitch Panel]]s inside. The goal is to shut down the machine and save the first of seven [[Grand Star]]s in the game by activating every Flipswitch Panel found on the inside of the planet to change all of them from yellow to blue, while simultaneously avoiding the many Goombas and electric platforms. There are several coins floating in the air as well.

| SMG Asset Sprite Preview (Gateway Galaxy).png|Galaxy preview banner from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''
| | When [[Mario]] awakens on this planet, a Space [[Bunny]] will challenge him to a game of hide-and-seek. The player will have to follow the bunny until he reaches his two friends, who will run and hide. One is found in a crater near the tree stump and a small lake, another in the grass near the Warp Pipe, and the last in a [[Warp Pipe]]. The player will have to catch them all, and a new structure on the planet will appear. Mario will meet with [[Rosalina]] and gain the [[Star Spin]] ability. Mario needs to Star Spin the nearby [[Launch Star]] to reach the next planet, which has five [[Star Chip]]s scattered about. To go to the next planet, Mario will have to grab the Star Chips to make a Launch Star and blast Mario to the next planet. Here, a [[Luma]] in a cage tells Mario that one of the [[Goomba]]s on the planet has the key. The player will have to defeat the Goombas on the planet until one gives up a key. The Luma then transforms into a [[Sling Star]], which slings Mario to the next planet. On this planet, Mario must defeat the Giant Goomba near the top of the planet to free the other Luma and enter the Warp Pipe. The inside of the planet is filled with yellow switches and moving electrical walls. A big machine stands in the middle of the room; a [[Grand Star]] is inside it. Mario needs to step on all the yellow switches to turn them blue, which will shut the machine down and reveal the Grand Star. |

| | This [[Power Star]] is only accessible after the [[Garden]] has been opened. When [[Mario]] enters the galaxy, [[Rosalina]] will meet. A Red [[Luma]] notices how much Rosalina trusts Mario, so he gives Mario the challenge of collecting 100 [[Purple Coin]]s scattered around the planet to earn his trust as well. There are seventy coins on the planet and thirty in the air. Mario must use the new [[Red Star]] power-up that gives him the ability of flight to reach the thirty in the air. Completion of this mission will award Mario with the game's sole [[Red Power Star]]. One collected, it allows for use of the Red Star power-up in the [[Comet Observatory]]. |

| | * A planet in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]] resembles the first planet of the Gateway Galaxy. It can be seen from a planet full of [[Electrogoomba]]s. The planet is also reachable, but is much smaller. There are three [[Goomba]]s, and a cork can be unscrewed using the star spin to shrink the planet and disappear, also revealing many coins. |
