| | '''Hint TVs''' are a new type of object in the upcoming ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Hint TVs are mounted on a green and yellow signboard-like post. They provide helpful tips for the player for the upcoming obstacle or challenge that lays ahead. Mario will need to stand in front of a Hint TV to activate it. The TV will show a quick demonstration of how to surpass a difficult part of the [[galaxy]]. Unlike the [[Cosmic Witch]], it will not degrade the [[Power Star]] to a [[Bronze Star]]. The Hint TVs play a similar role to [[Princess Peach's Castle]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', except that it does not cost the player anything. |
| The '''Tip Network'''<ref>{{cite|language=en|quote=In some galaxies, you'll find TVs showing the Tip Network that can help explain how to perform certain moves or advance through a tough area. If you need a hint, try talking to the TV to see what it has to show you.|date=2010|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=21}}</ref> is a channel viewed on TV screens in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The TVs are mounted on a green-and-yellow [[sign]]-like post. They provide helpful tips for the player for upcoming obstacles or challenges that lie ahead. [[Mario]] needs to stand in front of a TV to activate it. The Tip Network shows a quick demonstration of how to surpass a difficult part of the [[galaxy]]. Unlike the [[Cosmic Spirit]], it does not degrade the [[Power Star]] to a [[Bronze Star]]. The Tip Network plays a similar role to the [[hint movies]] in [[Peach's Castle]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', except that it does not cost the player anything. If the player plays as [[Luigi]], the TVs do not appear.

| ==Trivia==
| | [[Category:Objects]] |
| *After the Tip Network finishes showing the player how to overcome obstacles, the entire [[level]] is reset as if the player just landed in the galaxy. Because this causes [[coin]]s and [[Star Bit]]s to reappear, the player can collect 999 of them in a single level this way.
| | [[Category:Super Mario Galaxy 2]] |
| *If the player looks directly at the Tip Network sign through Mario's view, they will see what appears to be an infinite mirror effect of the Tip Network screen, as the screen on the Tip Network sign displays whatever is currently on the game screen.
| | [[Category:Game Mechanics]] |
| *Like the Cosmic Spirit, some of the TVs may appear if the player loses too many lives.
