'''The Fate of the Universe''' is the only mission of [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], and is the final mission of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', excluding [[The Star Festival]]. The mission's objective is to defeat [[Bowser]] for the final time and collect the last [[Grand Star]].

[[Mario]] begins on a planet with stone walls and spotlights that determine the direction of gravity; the area a spotlight is shining on is gravitized, allowing Mario to walk on the walls. The player must cross the walls using the spotlight while avoiding [[Dry Bones]] and [[Fire Bar]]s to reach a vortex that will bring the player to a lava filled planet with many sinking and moving platforms. A vortex at the end of the area will bring the player to an ice planet. As the player moves along, ice platforms will form in front of them, creating a path in the same manner as [[Space Junk]]. The vortex at the end of the ice planet will take the player to a sand planet where the player has to dodge tall Fire Bars on moving platforms to reach the vortex at the end. Next is a two-dimensional platforming challenge involving Space Junk. The player must [[Wall Jump]] and avoid Fire Bars while also navigating a gravity chamber at the end to reach the next vortex. The final vortex will take the player to a large lava-filled tube planet with many [[Thwomp]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s, and [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s, as well as sinking and moving platforms. The [[Launch Star]] at the end will send the player to a stairway where a cutscene with Bowser and [[Bowser Jr.]] will begin. As Mario makes his way up the stairs, Bowser Jr. will send out [[meteor]]s to destroy the stairs, similar to the stairway in [[Bowser's Star Reactor]]. Reaching Bowser will begin a dialogue in which he announces his plan to create a new universe in his own image, with [[Princess Peach]] by his side. He then pulls Mario and himself to a small grey planet, initiating the final boss battle.

In the second phase, Mario and Bowser are gravitated to another planet covered with spiky plants and [[rubbery bulb]]s. After breathing a few fireballs and ground pounding, Bowser will curl into his shell and roll after Mario. He must be hit with a rubbery bulb to stun him and send him sliding around. When he is spun again, the process must be repeated. Alternatively, if Bowser is standing next to a rubbery bulb during his initial attacks, Mario can stun him without having to deal with the shell attack. As before, Bowser must be spun twice after being stunned to move on to the final phase.
