'''Spin-Dig Galaxy''' is a galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Most of the planets seen in this galaxy are composed of dirt. This galaxy introduces the [[Spin Drill]] which the player can use to bore the ground of these planets to come down the other side across them or also enter into underground areas. The entire galaxy is contained inside what appears to be an enormous, rocky sphere with giant holes in it, which is actually a slightly altered version of the final boss area from the first game.<ref>{{cite|date=May 14, 2019|url=https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/184858084415/top-two-images-the-skybox-seen-in-the-spin-dig|title=The model for the sphere with holes is actually taken directly from Super Mario Galaxy, where it is used for the sphere at the end of the Bowser’s Galaxy Reactor stage, where the final battle against Bowser takes place. The only change is the texture used; the size, amount and relative positioning of the holes are identical.|publisher=suppermariobroth.com|accessdate=December 18, 2024}}</ref>   [[Digga]]s and [[Twirlip]]s are common enemies in this galaxy. [[Digga-Leg]] is the boss that appears in the galaxy. The name of the galaxy is a pun on "shindig".

==Planets==
{{conjecture|subsections=yes}}
===Starting Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Spin Dig Starting Planet.png|200px|thumb|Mario on the {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}]]
This is a small planet completely made of dirt. There are three towers of dirt with different heights that Mario can only reach if he finds a [[Spin Drill]] around the planet and uses it over three marked spots that lead to the towers. The highest tower of the planet has a [[Launch Star]]. The planet also contains a [[1-Up Mushroom]] enclosed in a steel cage and a sum of [[coin]]s on another dirt tower. During the [[#Digga-Leg's Planet|Digga-Leg's Planet]] mission, there are [[Digga]]s and during the [[Silver Stars Down Deep]] mission, [[Cosmic Clone]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s are found here. Some of the towers have coins, but one has Spin Lights and a [[Luma]].

===Drill Zone Planet===

[[File:Drill Zone Planet SMG2 view.png|thumb|200px|Mario digs through the planet using the Spin Drill]]
This planet looks like a double-sided peanut-shaped platform that has two sides surrounded by a tall steel fence. The player can use again the Spin Drill to access the other side of the planet. On the upper side there are two high towers of dirt, a small round iron platform and two [[Twirlip]]s. On the lower side, there are other two towers, in which one is connected to another one on the planet's upper side. Over them, the player can find a Luma that turns into a Launch Star and also a [[Comet Medal]]. There are also mini lights that Mario or Luigi can destroy to get three [[Star Bit]]s.
{{br}}

===Steel Ring Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Spin Dig Steel Ring Planet.png|200px|thumb|Mario on the {{conjectural|Steel Ring Planet|planet}}]]
The planet is a ring-shaped platform of steel blocks surrounding a [[black hole]]. Some big [[Empty Block|Block]]s can be found around the ring and are connected to it by yellow platforms that appear and disappear at times. Over these Blocks, the plumber can find a [[Checkpoint Flag]], a Teleporter, and a Launch Star. A 1-Up Mushroom can be found as well over two yellow platforms. Twirlips are found here.
{{br}}

===Bonus Planet===
This planet is accessed by the [[Teleporter (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|Teleporter]] on the Steel Ring Planet. The Bonus Planet contains Twirlips and a [[Rainbow Star]] which the player has to use to romp all the enemies on the planet.

===Dirt Tower Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Spin Dig Dirt Tower Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|[[Mario]] on the {{conjectural|Dirt Tower Planet|planet}}]]
This planet is similar to the starting planet, but it is covered in gray dirt and has only a tower, which gives the planet a pear-like shape. The player uses the Spin Drill to bore through the ground and go to the hollow center of the planet to find a plethora of [[Coin]]s. Inside the planet, there is a hole where Mario uses his Drill to go to the top of the tower. A few [[Goomba]]s can be found on this planet.
{{br}}

===[[Digga-Leg]] Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Digga Leg Prerelease.png|200px|thumb|Mario on the {{conjectural|Digga-Leg Planet|planet}}]]
This is a small circular planet made of dirt where the boss [[Digga-Leg]] lies. Stepping on this planet, the player must move to the sides like in a two-dimensional environment during their fight with Digga-Leg. Some black and yellow security bars decorate the planet and two [[Spin Drill]]s can be found lying here.

A glitch makes it possible to fight Digga-Leg in 3-D, by getting somehow between his leg and head. The player gets pushed to the front of this planet and is stuck (if the player digs, it is possible to fall off).

===Purple Cylinder Planet===

[[File:SMG2 Spin Dig Purple Cylinder Planet Interior.png|200px|thumb|Mario inside the Purple Cylinder Planet.]]
In the second mission, Mario uses a [[Beanstalk]] from the Starting Planet to swing to this planet. At the top is a [[Warp Pipe]] and a [[Teleporter (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|Teleporter]]. Inside the first part of the planet, there are Spin Drills and Diggas. The player must navigate their way through the dirt by aiming for the corners in the walls to turn and get to another Warp Pipe. In the second area, there are three levels of dirt with [[Amp]]s beneath them. The player must drill at the right time to avoid the Amps and get to the bottom safely. Then the player must take another Warp Pipe at the bottom of the Cylinder Planet where there is a Launch Star encased in a [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]] and [[Star Bit]]s.
{{br}}

===Square Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Spin Dig Square Planet and Starshroom.png|200px|left|thumb|Mario quite a distance away from the {{conjectural|Square Planet|planet}}]]
[[File:SMG2 Spin-Dig Square Planet.png|200px|thumb|Mario on the {{conjectural|Square Planet|planet}}.]]
This planet is shaped in the form of a square. The player will need to navigate the planet in a 2D view to find all the five [[Silver Star]]s buried. There are many [[Digga]]s that keep spawning, and Mario must use the [[Spin Drill]] to get inside the core of the planet and collect the five Silver Stars to make the [[Power Star]] appear.

The player will redo the [[Digga-Leg's Planet]] mission. The player should make their way to the Drill Zone Planet. Once here, they should go to the gated area and backflip onto the fence. The player must carefully walk along the fence until they see the small shadow of the [[Green Star]]. They must jump or backflip into it to grab it.

====Green Star 3====
[[File:SMG2 Spin Dig Green Star 3.png|thumb|200px|Mario near the final Green Star]]
The player will redo the [[Silver Stars Down Deep]] mission. The final Green Star is located inside the Purple Cylinder Planet. It is located after the first corner that the player digs through. To get this star, the player should be by it, then get hurt by the [[Digga]] to get rid of the [[Spin Drill]]. Then, they should wall jump off the dirt, where the player came in through, to reach the Star.
