It controls and indicates the direction of [[gravity]] inside.
[[Image:Gravity_Wall.PNG|thumb|Multiple '''Gravity Walls''' in [[Bowser's Dark Matter Plant]].]]
A '''Gravity Wall''' is a special type of wall that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It has the power to control the direction that [[Gravity]] pulls [[Mario]] within its expanse. The Gravity Walls contain arrows to show the player the gravity direction, as well colors: blue (arrows pointing down), red (or occasionally pink; arrows pointing up), green (arrows pointing the right), gray, and purple (in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', respectively, arrows pointing to the left). As soon as Mario or Luigi enters the area with the painted arrows and colored background, either character is immediately pulled towards the object that the arrows are pointing to. The direction that the arrows are pointing on the wall (and therefore the direction of gravity itself) can sometimes be changed if the player finds a [[Gravity Arrow]] and [[Spin]]s it or hits it with a [[Star Bit]]. Gravity Walls appear in many levels, the most prominent of which is [[Bowser's Dark Matter Plant]], where they act as the main obstacle of the level. The [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]] feature Gravity Walls as their main elements. Gravity Walls appear only in 2D sidescroller sections of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', however.

In 2D sections, the back wall of a gravity field has arrows pointing along the direction of gravity, and is color-coded: blue for down, red for up, green for right, and gray or purple for left. Some [[gravity switch]]es are connected to them; they can also change direction with the music, like [[Blinking Block|Beat Block]]s. Gravity fields are the main mechanic of [[Bowser's Dark Matter Plant]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', and [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They usually point in cardinal directions, with an exception in [[Battle Belt Galaxy]].
==Gravity Wall areas==
 
A type of gravity field navigated in 3D appears in [[Toy Time Galaxy]]. It is a hexagon-textured, usually pink surface that pulls gravity toward it. These gravity fields are green on [[Toy Time Galaxy#Mecha-Bowser|Mecha-Bowser]]. Occasionally, nearby arrows help indicate the gravity direction of a field.
 
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the background of [[Flipsville Galaxy]] has similar arrows to a 2D gravity field. However, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] changes their direction by flipping between sides of a planetoid, by [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing [[grate]]s or [[Spin Drill|drill]]ing through dirt patches. Unlike true gravity fields, they do not affect all of the objects they encompass, only indicating the player character's gravity.
 
Gravity fields return in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they appear in some of the 2D sections accessed by [[8-bit pipe]]s. Inside the [[Inverted Pyramid]], the arrows on the gravity fields are designed after the pyramid itself.
