It controls and indicates the direction of [[gravity]] inside. | | A '''Gravity Wall''' is a special wall that appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and has the power to control all Gravity. The walls with the arrows on them have the power to control [[Gravity]] in an area which is specified by painted arrows in four different colors that appear on the wall behind the character (Blue, Purple, Green and Gray). The effect of Gravity Walls is such that as soon as [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] enters the area with the painted arrows and colored background, that character is sucked towards the object that the arrows are pointing towards. |

| 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 walls appear in many levels, the most prominent being [[Bowser's Dark Matter Plant]] where they are the main difficulty of the level, and the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]], which was named after and centered around the theme of changing gravities. The direction of the arrows pointing towards the wall (and therefore the direction of the gravity itself) can also be changed if the player [[Spinning|spins]] a [[Gravity Arrow]] or hits it with a [[Star Bit]]. |

| 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.
