'''Slipsand Galaxy''' is a galaxy in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', located in [[World 5 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 5]]. The level is desert-themed and features desert objects such as cacti. Sand Rivers and [[fireball]]s are the main obstacles in the level. A pyramid can be seen in the background, but serves no special purpose. [[Dry Bones]], [[Magikoopa]]s and [[Pokey Head]]s are common enemies in this galaxy. The [[Fire Flower]] reappears in this galaxy and is used in the boss battle against [[Squizzard]]. At one point, Mario needs to avoid some [[Rhomp]]s while sliding down sand.

===Starting Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Slipsand Starting Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario on the {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}.]]
This is a long, tubular planet with a fast sand current. During the [[#Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole|Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole]] mission, the current is going with the player. Many [[fireball]]s circle the planet and many [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s serve as an impediment during the mission. The [[Launch Star]] takes the player to the [[#Sandy Waterfall Planet|Sandy Waterfall Planet]]. During the [[#Sailing the Sandy Seas|Sailing the Sandy Seas]] mission, the current is going against Mario. Luckily, there are platforms to allow the player to reach the [[Warp Pipe]] on the other side. If the player goes all the way to the very end in this mission, where the Launch Star was in the last mission, they find three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. The player must rapidly jump and spin to do this.<ref>{{cite|author=SwankyBox|date=March 31, 2019|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97IuLorYqqw|title=Why Three Hidden 1-Ups Will DESTROY Your Wrist in Super Mario Galaxy 2|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 21, 2024}}</ref> The [[Launch Star]] takes Mario to the [[#Sandy Sea Planet|Sandy Sea Planet]] during the mission. There is also an underground section with [[Fire Bar]]s and gravity.

===Sandy Fall Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Slipsand Sandy Falls Planet.png|left|thumb|200px|Mario approaching the {{conjectural|Sandy Fall Planet|planet}}.]]
This is a fairly small square planet with a sand current that is going against the player. At the first part, there are a few shifting blocks that push the player off the planet. Many [[Pokey Head]]s appear on this planet. At the second area, it is an S-shaped stream with three [[Cluckboom]]s flying over it. The [[Comet Medal]] can be found in this area. There is a [[Fire Flower]], even more Pokey Heads, and more shifting blocks in the next area. There is a [[Checkpoint Flag]] and a [[Launch Star]] that takes the player to the Sand Slide Planet at the top. There is also a [[Fire Flower]] that can be used to light two urns on the Sandy Waterfall Planet, but it's optional because lighting the urns just gives out a 1-Up Mushroom. There is a [[Black hole]] in the middle of the planet.

===Sand Slide Planet===

[[File:SMG2 Slipsand Slide End.png|thumb|200px|Luigi at the end of the slide.]]
The planet is basically one long sand stream coming out of the pyramid. The player must slide down the stream to the end while avoiding the [[Rhomp]]s that appear halfway. It gets narrower towards the end of the stream. At the bottom of the slide is a small area with [[Lumalee]], a Checkpoint Flag, and the [[Launch Star]] that takes the player to the [[#Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole|Sinkhole Planet]].

===Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole===
[[File:SMG2 Slipsand Squizzard Planet.png|left|thumb|200px|Mario on Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole.]]
The planet is a bowl-shaped planet filled with sand. The sand moves at a fast current towards the middle where [[Squizzard]] lies. The arena is fenced up and there are some rocks here that can serve as platforms. Two [[Fire Flower]]s appear here. When Squizzard is defeated, the sand stops flowing.

===Zero Gravity Room Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Slipsand Gravity.png|left|thumb|200px|Mario at the Zero Gravity Room Planet.]]
This planet appears during the second mission, manifesting as a room of stone bricks where the gravity changes to accomodate when Mario walks on a curved surface.
{{br}}

===Sandy Sea Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Slipsand Sandy Sea Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario approaching the {{conjectural|Sandy Sea Planet|planet}}.]]
This planet is only traveled to during the [[Sailing the Sandy Seas]] mission. It is a vast, wide open area filled with lethal [[Quicksand]]. The player needs to ride the [[Sand Bird]] on this planet to avoid falling into the quicksand. Many cacti are found here, which destroy parts of the ship, although the ship quickly regenerates any lost parts. [[Magikoopa]]s and a single [[Homing Chomp]] are found on this planet as well. The [[Power Star]] is found at the end of the planet.

==Prima Official Game Guide description==
*"''The parched Slipsand Galaxy is a dangerous desert loaded with challenges like a giant sand slide and rolling [[Rhomp]]s. Things get even trickier when you travel to a great expanse of the desert and must ride on the back of a bird that can disappear when it hazards...too bad you don't have the same skill.''"
