The '''Throwback Galaxy''' is a galaxy from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' which is a redesigned [[Whomp's Fortress]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. The music is a big band arrangement of the original ''Super Mario 64'' main theme, as the original version was also played on Whomp's Fortress. Although the course is generally identical, a few minor changes have been made here.

New enemies have been added, such as [[Paragoomba]]s, [[Skeeter]]s and a [[Wiggler]]. Other enemies seen first in the original game also return, like [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Thwomp]]s and [[Whomp]]s. Some [[Bob-omb Buddy|Bob-omb Buddies]] also appear in the galaxy, and even make reference to how [[Mario]] seems familiar, a reference to his earlier visit to Whomp's Fortress in ''Super Mario 64'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. A [[Whomp]] is found at the top of the area, and defeating it will open an area where the [[Whomp King]] is found. A [[Comet Medal]], [[Rainbow Note]]s (released from breaking a crate, playing the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' underground theme) and a bonus planet featuring Piranha Plants can be found in the stage too. Several [[Cloud Flower]]s also appear in the galaxy's second mission.

The clouds in the background are notably darker than the original Whomp's Fortress, and [[black hole]]s were added below the course.

A planet almost identical to [[Whomp's Fortress]] in ''Super Mario 64''. However, the floating islands that contained [[Red Coin]]s and the area where the [[Star Switch]] mission is done in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' are no longer found. The cannon used to destroy two walls in a mission in the previous games is replaced with a Sling Star, along with the points in the walls already being destroyed. There are a lot of enemies, such as Thwomps and Piranha Plants, on this planet, and at the top, Mario can defeat a Whomp to access a vertical tunnel which will take him to the underside of the planet where the [[Whomp King]] is fought. The walls on the bridged side of the fortress appear chipped away from the mission "[[Blast Away the Wall]]" from ''Super Mario 64''.

There is a [[Teleporter (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|teleporter]] near the base of Whomp's Fortress that leads to the Bonus Planet, which is inhabited by multiple [[Piranha Plant]]s. If Mario is able to defeat them all within the time limit, he receives three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s.

During the second mission, the player can use a [[Cloud Flower]] to get to the Bonus Planet, which is only a short distance away from the main planet. However, the player has used all three of their clouds at this point, so they are not able to get back again.

===Return of The Whomp King===
|image1=[[File:SMG2 Throwback Return of the Whomp King.png|200px]]
[[Image:Whompkingsmg2.png|200px|thumb|[[Whomp King]] against [[Mario]].]]
|summary1=This mission's objective is to defeat the [[Whomp King]].
The first mission here is very reminiscent of [[Whomp's Fortress#Star 1: Chip Off Whomp's Block|the same mission]] in ''Super Mario 64'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its DS remake]], with a few minor changes. When Mario gets to the top, he battles a regular [[Whomp]], which, due to the size changes in the species between ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', appears to be more or less identical to the original [[Whomp King]] in size. The biggest difference between the first star in "Chip off Whomp's Block" and the first star of "Throwback Galaxy" is, upon defeating this Whomp, a hole opens up in the center of the platform, which Mario must then drop down to get to the planet's underside, where the player fights the now even bigger and much tougher Whomp King.
|mission2=[[Silver Stars in the Whomp Fortress]]
 
|image2=[[File:SMG2 Throwback Silver Stars in the Whomp Fortress.png|200px]]
His size is much larger than before, due to the fact that normal Whomps are about the size that he was in ''Super Mario 64''. Because of his size, he also can walk around the battlefield much more quickly than before. The area he will slam down on is now highlighted in red. The Whomp King also has some new attacks, which also make him more difficult. For one attack, he does a short hop, which will stun Mario or Luigi if they are on the ground. This shockwave also occurs when he slams down as his primary attack. A second is when he stomps his right foot down, and a group of [[Whimp]]s appear from the ground. However, these don't make much of a difference to the battle, as the Whomp King will more or less likely destroy the Whimps himself anyway. He is harder to get on top of, as his increased thickness makes the flat surface of his back higher up than it used to be, so Mario will likely have more trouble getting the chance to attack him than before. Instead of being able to [[Ground Pound]] anywhere on his back to damage him, the player must hit a small imprint on his back. Additionally, Mario can't "go through" the Whomp King's body, and he can fall off the arena. When defeated, he will recite the same speech as in the original ''Super Mario 64'', as well as then hitting the ground while muttering "Dang it!" under his breath, before exploding and handing over the Power Star.

===Green Stars===

This Green Star has the player redo [[Return of the Whomp King]]. Mario/Luigi must make his way to the moving platforms near the beginning of the course, as it is located right below the last one.

===Silver Stars in the Whomp Fortress===
[[File:TBG2.png|thumb|200px|Cloud Mario about to get the fourth Silver Star.]]
In this level, [[Cloud Flower]]s and five [[Silver Star]]s have been added to the main planet. With the help of the Cloud Flower, Mario must collect every Silver Star in the level. Many of the Silver Stars require skillful use of the Cloud Flower to reach, as one floats directly over a [[Black Hole]] behind the fortress, while others are located on clouds that only Cloud Mario can reach. At the top of the fortress floats the final Silver Star. When all the Silver Stars are collected, they will form a [[Power Star]].


====Green Star 2====
[[File:SMG2 Throwback Green Star 2.png|200px|thumb|Mario standing on top of the Whomp]]
The next Green Star has the player redo Return of the Whomp King, like the first Green Star. It is located on top of the fortress, Mario/Luigi need to get on top of the [[Whomp]], ride it to the Star, and then perform a [[Backwards Somersault]] to reach it.

==Trivia==
*The [[Bob-omb Buddy]] who requests that Mario gets the Power Star back from the [[Whomp King]] in [[Return of the Whomp King]] states that the Whomp King is at the top of the fortress. This is not true, as the Whomp King is fought at the bottom of the planet, while one of his [[Whomp]] minions is at the top instead.
*When the [[Whomp King]] is defeated in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', he will explode and Mario will be standing on the ground, while in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Mario will still be in the air after the Whomp King is defeated.
