'''Space Storm Galaxy''' is a galaxy in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is located in [[World 5 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 5]]. The level revolves around mechanical objects and is somewhat based off the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]] and the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. The galaxy has an abandoned rocketship-like object and a tower shaped like a [[Topman]] similar to [[Buoy Base Galaxy]]. Switches that slow down time first appear here. [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Spiky Topman|Spiky Topmen]], and [[Topman|Topmen]] are common enemies in the galaxy, and this is also the only galaxy in the game where Topmen appear. Notably, their leader, [[Topmaniac]], is absent. The main obstacle in this galaxy is electricity, with [[Amp]]s and electric fences all around the area. There is also a new enemy called the [[Zap Nozzle]], which shoots electrical currents that home in on [[Mario]]. 

There are no [[Prankster Comet]]s in the galaxy until the player unlocks the Green Stars.
==Planets/Areas==
{{conjecture|subsections=yes}}
===Starting Planets===
[[File:SMG2 Space Storm Starting Planets.png|200px|thumb|Mario on one of the {{conjectural|Starting Planets|planets}}.]]
Those two planets are large, glass spheres with a [[Pull Star]]s in each of them. A couple of [[Big Amp|Zap Ball]]s surround the second planet. Five Pull Stars and a [[Launch Star]] that they orbit in a pentagon formation are found at the top of the planet. During the second mission, the Pull Stars and Zap Balls are moving fast, and the Pull Star leading to the Blue Star Capsule Planet is missing, so [[Mario]] will have to use the Pull star inside it to get to the latter planetoid. A [[blue switch (Super Mario Galaxy)|blue switch]] will be found on the second Pull Star planet to slow them down. There is also a [[1-Up Mushroom]] behind the first one.

===Abandoned Rocket Ship Planet===

This cylindrical planet looks like a rocket ship because of the several "wings" it has on the sides. It is visited only in the first mission after Mario leaves the Starting Planet, and its gravity is toroidal, meaning he cannot fall off. There are a lot of electric fences on the planet; most are stationary, but a few of them encircle the planet. There are orange platforms that move around the planet as well. The [[Comet Medal]] is located on here and is dangerously close to an electric fence. [[Mario]] should perform a [[Long Jump]] to get it. The [[Launch Star]] here will take the player to the Bob-omb Planet.

===Bob-omb Planet===

This planet is shaped like a spool of thread. The middle of the planet is glass and the player can see through it. Electric fences are the main hazards on the planet. Inside the planet is a machine that spawns [[Bob-omb]]s. The player must lure the Bob-omb to the cage blocking the entrance, blowing it up. A [[Life Mushroom]] can be found here. There is a [[Tip Network]] in the outer part of the planet. The [[Launch Star]] inside the planet will take the player to the Topman Planet. Two Black Holes are found on either side of the planet but they don't seem to serve a purpose, as the spots they inhabit at the ends of the planet are blocked off by walls that Mario cannot scale, even with his [[Wall Jump]].

===Topman Planet===

}}
This is a long, metallic grey planet with several holes surrounded by electric fences, with the beginning marking a [[Checkpoint]]. There is a [[Bob-omb]] spawner on here which can be used to summon Bob-ombs to destroy the numerous cages. Regular and [[Spiky Topman|Spiky Topmen]] continuously spawn on this planet. The Electric Field Area is located next to this planet. During the [[#C'mere Topman|C'mere Topman]] mission, a [[Gearmo (silver)|silver Gearmo]] will appear, asking Mario to bring him a [[Spiky Topman]]; if the plumber is successful, the Gearmo will reward him with a [[Power Star]].

===Electric Field Area===
[[File:SMG2 Space Storm Electric Field.png|200px|thumb|Mario, in the dangerous {{conjectural|Electric Field Area|area}}.]]
This area is located directly after the Topman Planet. It is located high above the [[#Bob-omb Planet|Bob-omb Planet]]. This area is full of [[Big Amp|Zap Ball]]s and [[Zap Nozzle]]s. The player must navigate through the planet by the use of [[Pull Star]]s. At the end of the planet is an electric fence guarding a [[Power Star]]. If Mario is hit by any of the electricity then he will fall. As Mario traverses this area, the player can see the Glass Spool Planet below.

===Topman's Tower===

}}
This is a metallic tower that slightly resembles an upside-down top. It is almost identical to the [[Buoy Base Galaxy#Buoy Base|Buoy Base]] fortress from the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], featuring a very similar appearance and many of the same obstacles and enemies, some of which now move very rapidly. Enemies here include different types of Topmen, [[Amp]]s and [[Thwomp]]s. At the bottom of the planet, different sections of the floor spin very rapidly in opposing directions. [[Water Shooter]]s are located at the bottom as well and shoot water at a rapid pace. A pool of lava surrounds about a half of the tower. There are also a lot of blue switches here that will slow down the enemies and obstacles so they can proceed to the top with ease. The player will need to kill two Spiky Topmen at the top. This will make a [[Spring Topman]] appear which the player can use to get the [[Power Star]]. If Mario kills the Spring Topman, a replacement will be summoned.

====Green Star 1====
[[File:SMG2 Space Storm Green Star 1.png|thumb|200px|[[Luigi]] near the first Green Star.]]
The player must replay the [[Follow Me, Bob-omb]] mission. The first [[Green Star]] is located on the Starting Planets. The player has to use the [[Pull Star]]s next to the [[Launch Star]] to reach the highest point possible. The player will need to perform a [[Star Spin]] to nab the first Green Star.

====Green Star 2====
[[File:SMG2 Space Storm Green Star 2.png|thumb|200px|Luigi near the second Green Star.]]
The player must replay the [[To the Top of Topman's Tower]] mission. This Green Star is found on the Topman's Tower. To get it, the player must make their way to the part of the tower with the [[Thwomp]]s. From there, they should notice a small green and black path surrounded by red borders. The player must go down this path to find the Green Star. An alternate way to get this star is if the player performs a backward somersault and simply Wall Jumps off the first gate, followed by a spin to land back onto the top of the gate platform.

====Green Star 3====

The player must replay the [[To the Top of Topman's Tower]] mission again. To get this Green Star, the player must make their way to the Topman's Tower. From then, the player will need to hit the lever to open the first gate. After the first gate has been opened, the player will need to enter it and make their way to a set of [[Water Shooter]]s. From there, they need to make their way to the one on the farthest right side. The player will need to let the Water Shooter trap them inside a bubble. The player will continue to travel inside the bubble and eventually get the final Green Star.
