Editing Letter

''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' also starts with [[Princess Peach]] sending Mario a letter to watch the [[Star Bit]]s fall while they eat [[cake]] together. Later, letters are sent from a much wider range of characters than the first game, such as [[Gearmo]]s and [[Jibberjay]]s. They are used to accomplish a number of objectives, including notifying the player of any of [[The Chimp]]'s challenges, giving the player tips on how to perform certain moves more expertly, advising the player of a special [[Power Star]] opportunity in a particular galaxy, offering the player advice and encouragement, challenging the player to a race, or making the player aware of any other special events or occurrences that may arise periodically as the game progresses. If the player receives a letter from Peach while playing as Luigi, Mailtoad notes the letter is addressed to Mario and assures Luigi it must have been a typo.

In this game, Mario no longer receives letters from people he meets. Instead, he receives emails on his [[Mailbox SP]]. He does, however, receive a letter prior to the start of the game from Princess Peach via Parakarry, with Peach requesting that Mario head over to [[Rogueport]] regarding something she discovered.

Before Chapter 5 of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Podley]] has [[Old Letter|a letter]] for [[Bobbery|Admiral Bobbery]] written by Bobbery's deceased wife, [[Scarlette]], as she was lying on her deathbed. Delivering the letter to Bobbery strengthens his resolve, and he agrees to accompany Mario to [[Keelhaul Key]].
