== Ending ==
The ending of the game really confused me, and the article didn't help. What happens to all the lumas at the end?  When Mario is in the mushroom kingdom at the end, Bowser was there, so how come Mario and Peach were happy and Bowser didn't attack them and Peach wasn't scared and Mario wasn't angry? Has Bowser became a good guy at the end? And how come it says the entire universe becomes one big galaxy, I don't remember that, and afterwards you still play in seperate galaxies. I need more explanation. {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}}
First: I think Bowser was beat.
Second: The Lumas must have returned back to Rosalina.
Third: I'm not sure how it happened, but probably after falling into the black hole did something. {{User:MegaMario9910/sig}}
The Lumas went into the blackhole and baby stars appeared, they have a life cycle and the proccess is never the exact same way, so this must be where their lifr cycle repeats. [[User:Learner|Learner]] 10:40, 8 March 2008 (EST)
Why is it that it says only one luma fell in the black hole on this page but it says that all but one fell on the [[Luma]] page?? {{User:bob-omb buddy/sig}}

The Mario series' creator has announced work on a sequel, but not stated explicitly anything more exact than that. So, ''Galaxy 2'' is possible, but so is an entirely different sort of game. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 14:40, 18 April 2009 (EDT)

== Trading Card Game ==
The Trivia names a trading card game based on the game and its [http://www.enter-play.com/products/mariogalaxy.html official site]. First, is this an actual trading card ''game'' or just collectable trading cards? Because the cards feature just pictures, but not any stats or something which is typical for a TCG. Second, do you think it deserves an article? Aside from the Japanese Donkey Kong Card Game, I have never read about such a big set of ''Mario''-related trading cards. Third, those card images might also be useful because they show some artwork of characters and enemies I haven't seen anywhere else. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 14:20, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
==Korean Name==
Is there a reason the game's Korean name is here? It seems out-of-place and redundant for this English wiki. {{User|Toadster_04}}
:We cover names from other languages, but I agree that it looked misplaced, since it is neither the orignal title nor an alternate English title. Therefore, I moved it to "Names in Other Languages." --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 15:04, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

On the page, it says "Yellow Shockwave Inducing Creature", yet I cannot find it in the game. What Galaxy is it in? {{unsigned|BubbleRevolution}}
I think it's just in the jappanes version. {{user|gamer2.1}}
I believe it refers to the screw like enemy in Buoy Base Galaxy, it's where you open up the planet at the top to reveal the star [[user|Eevee1735]]
Or it could still be the spiky sentry beam from the dreadnought galaxy. '''[[User:Koopas lost shell|<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:#00FF00">Koopas lost shell</span> ]]'''[[File:GreenShellMK8.png|20px]] 09:47, 15 September 2016 (EDT)
==Puffer Fish/Porcu-Puffer enemy==
I was wondering if the puffer fish enemy that's found in the drip drop galaxy of Super Mario Galaxy was a Porcu-Puffer (the puffer fish found in SMW and NSMBwii) and if that is something that should be included in the wiki, maybe as "an enemy that looks similar to a Porcu-Puffer appears in the Drip Drop Galaxy of Super Mario Galaxy"? {{unsigned|Mr.Julius}}

==Max Coins per Level==
Although it doesn't unlock anything, what is the max number of coins that can actually be collected, on each level?  I haven't found any answers out there (though several people speculated/wondered).  I only know the answer for the first 20 levels or so (with 95% confidence), but a wiki seems like the perfect tool to let other people add their knowledge.  I tried adding a page 'Super Mario Galaxy Maximum Coins per Level', but it got deleted w/o comment (perhaps because it was missing so much?).  Any suggestions, on starting a page for this to gather the info?

== The so-called "minigames" ==
We currently have articles on four "minigames" from this game, namely [[ray surfing]], [[Bob-omb Blasting]], [[Bubble Blowing]], and [[Star Ball Rolling]]. However, only ray surfing is officially named in-game. I slapped {{tem|ref needed}} templates on the others, but I'm pretty sure they're outright conjecture. (The conjecturally named minigames from ''SMG2'', [[Crate Burning]] and [[Fluzzard Gliding]], actually have {{tem|conjecture}} templates.) I'm willing to spare Bob-omb Blasting since it's at least a defined minigame, but Bubble Blowing and Star Ball Rolling have got to go. They're not minigames. They're just game mechanics that this wiki is arbitrarily ''calling'' "minigames" for no explainable reason. Their existence is redundant with [[Bubble#Super Mario Galaxy|Bubble]] and [[Star Ball]] respectively, and if we keep them, we might as well create articles for other conjectural "minigames" like "[[Yoshi]] Riding" and "[[P-Balloon]] Floating." I mean, we don't even have a "[[Mushroom Ball]] Derby" article, and at least ''that's'' officially named. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 15:10, 5 December 2017 (EST)

==Inconsistencies==
I've noticed a lot of weird parts to this page, such as Cataquacks being listed as NPCs instead of enemies, or as freezing water and lava being enemies instead of some other type of hazard. In fact, I wouldn't even think it would need mentioned at all. Furthermore, the images on the [[Super Mario Galaxy|main page]] don't reflect the images on [[Gallery:Super Mario Galaxy|the gallery page]]. The cataquack, for example, is nowhere to be found, and many images are differently sorted or simply not in one or the other. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 19:04, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

== Inconsistency Discussion: who is and who is not a boss in Super Mario Galaxy? ==
There are some small inconsistencies in official material and our article on who the bosses of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' are. In our article, the bosses are: [[Dino Piranha]], [[King Kaliente]], [[Stink Bug Parent]], [[Bugaboom]], [[Megaleg]], [[Kamella]], [[Tarantox]], [[Topmaniac]], [[Bouldergeist]], [[Major Burrows]], [[Baron Brrr]], [[Undergrunt Gunner]], [[Kingfin]], [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Bowser]], and [[Fiery Dino Piranha]].
On the [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/characters/galaxy/index.html official Japanese character index] that was published in 2020, they also recognize the following as distinct bosses:
* オタキング(黒), the "burnt" iteration of King Kaliente from "[[King Kaliente's Spicy Return]]"
* エレキバズーカ, the iteration of the Undergrunt Gunner that shoots electricity in [[Toy Time Galaxy]]
King Kaliente proper and the water-shooting iteration of the Gunner are listed under separate entries in the index. The name convention for Kaliente mirrors the one used for Dino Piranha and Fiery Dino Piranha on the same page (as ディノパックン and ディノパックン(黒), respectively), as well as reflect an overall trend with ''Mario'' bosses that have counterparts of a different color. (e.g. [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser's Brother]] recognized as クッパ and クッパ(青), respectively, in ''[[The Lost Levels]]'' or [[Hisstocrat]] and its [[Hisstocrat (pink)|pink counterpart]] as ヘビースネーク and ヘビースネーク(ピンク).) On our article for ''Galaxy'', we recognize Dino Piranha and Fiery Dino Piranha as two seperate bosses while we list King Kaliente as one. This may in part stem from the fact that the Dino Piranhas have some pretty distinct behaviors, but it still seems inconsistent. Even if we are weighing behavior heavily here, both iterations of the Undergrunt Gunner are pretty distinctive in behavior and could potentially be listed with separate entries. On the ''3D World'' article, the Hisstocrat and its pink iteration have one entry, but it is at least noted that the pink version is a somewhat separate entity and they each have their own separate articles on the wiki. The "burnt" King Kaliente does not.
How should we resolve these inconsistencies? Should Fiery Dino Piranha be merged with Dino Piranha in the Galaxy article? (My preference is "no") Should we list each Undergrunt Gunner as separate bosses? (my preference is "yes") Should we list both King Kalientes as separate bosses? (my thought is "maybe") – [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 19:10, March 4, 2021 (EST)
:For reference, [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_53#Super_Mario_Galaxy_/_Super_Mario_Galaxy_2_fiery_counterparts|here's the proposal]] regarding the current status of King Kaliente's article. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 19:24, March 4, 2021 (EST)
::Water Bazooka and Electric Bazooka have their own discussion under Undergrunt Gunner's page. I personally think splitting them would be at the very least difficult to do cleanly since "Undergrunt Gunner" is said in-game in SMG, but I suppose they could be listed as "[[Undergrunt Gunner]] in {{fake link|Water Bazooka}} or some such thing. Another thing to add to the Kaliente and Dino thing is Gobblegut in SMG2 is treated the same way (those listings are taken straight from the Japanese Encyclopedia, by the way). Another note, I personally feel Mecha-Bowser is as much a "boss" as Megaleg. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 19:58, March 4, 2021 (EST)
:::I'm not sure it is necessarily to split up the main articles for Undergrunt Gunner and King Kaliente in the same way green and red Koopa Troopas share the same article. However, with regards to giving each one seperate entries in the main Galaxy article, it's a distinction that's potentially valid for a similar reason: in the returning enemy chart on the article, "Koopa Troopa (green)" and "Koopa Troopa (red)" are given separate entries. I think it would be helpful to have shared information between official material and what is in the Galaxy article, especially if the SMG2 boss chart follows the same convention. (Though I totally think it is worth evaluating Mecha-Bowser as a proper boss at some point: I thought it was one when I was a kid, and it at least felt similar to a boss fight when I replayed Galaxy recently. I think the only thing that makes Mecha-Bowser a different case is how it is framed in-game and that I don't think Mecha Bowser has any way of directly causing damage to Mario. Megaleg can at least step on him. But I could be mistaken. It's still worth discussing, in my opinion.) – [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 20:41, March 4, 2021 (EST)

I noticed that Mecha Bowser's theme is simular to the underground theme from Super Mario Land. though this might be coïncinental I think that someone should add it to the references section [[Special:Contributions/80.57.88.144|80.57.88.144]] 11:00, April 10, 2021 (EDT)
:I'm not sure everyone would agree they sound similar, so I would be a little more specific on how. I personally think they do not sound that same.
:I'm inclined to think that any similarity between the pieces would be coincidental since the games were made by different teams and released decades apart from each other. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 12:10, April 10, 2021 (EDT)
== The 1991 Nintendo Power detail and the purpose behind a trivia section ==
Hey, I recently re-placed the note about the 1991 ''Nintendo Power'' article from the beginning of the page to the trivia section. The note reads:
"Coincidentally, the title "Super Mario Galaxy" was first mentioned in a fan letter written to Nintendo Power by Jimmy Peterford of Glen Cove, New York in December 1991. The letter detailed a fantasy game console called the "Raw Power System", which would come bundled with a game named "Super Mario Galaxy", or in Peterford's words, would be "better known as Super Mario Bros. 24!""
I understand the desire to keep a trivia section small - I am not against that. But if we are going to have a trivia section at all, and we want to include the ''Nintendo Power'' thing on this page, than I really think this specific detail should be moved back ''to'' the trivia section. I really don't think it belongs in the beginning of the article as it has nothing to do with the actual Wii game. It really feels like a pace-breaker in learning about the game because it is a ''trivial'' detail that does not really fit anywhere else. Curious to know what others think. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 12:36, December 30, 2021 (EST)
:Honestly it does seem like the kind of thing that would be trivia to me too. Saying that the game's title was coincidentally used as a joke in a magazine over a decade earlier doesn't seem opening-worthy at all. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:39, December 30, 2021 (EST)
::I appreciate your insight. My revision was originally reversed by [[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]]. It's not a big deal, but I hope they see my comment here to see what they think. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 16:09, December 30, 2021 (EST)
:::Sorry about that, I just thought the incorporate trivia thing in the spotlight meant incorporating as much trivia as possible. I'd be fine with it I guess, now that you bring it up.[[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] ([[User talk:Somethingone|talk]]) 16:16, December 30, 2021 (EST)
Some people take the "Incorporate Trivia sections in the main as much as possible" advice too literally. "A old fan letter in an official magazine coincidentally happened to mention a fictitious game with the exact same name as a real one released much later" is literally trivia. It makes no sense to put it in the lead. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 16:14, December 30, 2021 (EST)
