{{quote|Wow! Can ya believe it?! This must be that strange, legendary [[world]] we've been hearing rumors about! There are even more [[Power Star]]s around here! So! Let's go get 'em, [[Mario|Captain]]!|Lubba|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}
'''World S''', also known as '''Special World''',<ref>The staff commemoration letter posted to the Wii Message Board after beating the game.</ref> is the seventh and last world featured in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is located high in the sky of an unknown planet with colorful star-shaped islands, and has two rainbows in the background. This world is shaped like an "S", hinting at its name, and has no forked directions. It holds a total of seven galaxies, the last of which, the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]], can only be accessed by collecting all 120 [[Power Star]]s as well as all 120 [[Green Star]]s. Each galaxy is blocked by a star barrier (the most out of all worlds) that requires a certain number of Power Stars to unlock rather than simply completion of the previous galaxy. The world is unlocked after the player completes [[Bowser's Fortified Fortress]] for the first time. This is the only world in the game to lack any Hidden Stars, with each galaxy featuring one main mission, one [[Prankster Comet]] (with all types except for the Romp Comet present and also the most comets out of all worlds), and (excluding the Grandmaster Galaxy) two [[Green Star]]s.

This world's appearance is hinted at by a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] brought back from the [[Throwback Galaxy]], who asks about the "strange, legendary world" in a manner similar to Lubba's. This world's music is a slower rendition of "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy (theme)|Gusty Garden Galaxy]]" from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

All of the galaxies in this world except for [[Flip-Out Galaxy]] are references to previous [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' games]]. [[Mario Squared Galaxy]], [[Stone Cyclone Galaxy]], [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]] and [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] (in the case of The Perfect Run, because of the music) are references to ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', [[Rolling Coaster Galaxy]] is a reference to the [[Rainbow Road]] courses from the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] and ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (because of the music), and [[Twisty Trials Galaxy]] is a reference to "[[The Secret of Ricco Tower]]" from [[Ricco Harbor]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

|[[Mario Squared Galaxy]]
|This galaxy takes place on an 8-bit [[Mario]], which also appeared as a planet in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] from the [[Super Mario Galaxy|first game]]. However, the spinning platforms have been replaced with Flipswitch Panels. An 8-bit [[Luigi]] appears on the opposite side and serves as a [[Purple Coin]] level.

|Defeat [[Bowser]] in [[Bowser's Fortified Fortress]].
|-

|align=center|[[File:Rolling Coaster Galaxy.png|200px]]
|[[Rolling Coaster Galaxy]]
|This galaxy is similar to a roller coaster and, similar to [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]], [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) must roll a [[Star Ball]] to the end. Also, many [[Starshroom]]s appear along the way.
|data-sort-value="4"|[[File:Smg2 icon powerstar.png|20px|link=The Rainbow Road Roll]][[File:Smg2 icon prankstercomet.png|20px|link=Purple Coins on the Rainbow Road]][[File:Smg2 icon greencomet.png|20px|Green Star 1|link=Rolling Coaster Galaxy#Green Star 1]][[File:Smg2 icon greencomet.png|20px|Green Star 2|link=Rolling Coaster Galaxy#Green Star 2]]
|Collect 75 Stars, including the first one from Mario Squared Galaxy.
|-

|align=center|[[File:Twisty Trials Galaxy.png|200px]]
|[[Twisty Trials Galaxy]]
|This galaxy is heavily based on the Episode 4 mission [[The Secret of Ricco Tower]] from [[Ricco Harbor]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The only major changes are that there is now a single [[Cloud Flower]] in the first mission, [[Yoshi]] in the second, and some of the spinning logs are larger.

|Collect 80 Stars, including the first one from Rolling Coaster Galaxy.

|align=center|[[File:Stone Cyclone Galaxy.png|200px]]
|[[Stone Cyclone Galaxy]]
|This galaxy consists of only one planet, which is essentially a replica of the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy#The Cyclone Stone|Cyclone Stone]] from the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Some differences include the addition of [[Octoomba]]s, the removal of the last [[Thwomp]], and the addition of multiple [[blue switch (Super Mario Galaxy)|blue switch]]es at different intervals around the planet.

|Collect 90 Stars, including the first one from Twisty Trials Galaxy.
|-

|align=center|[[File:Boss Blitz Galaxy.png|200px]]
|[[Boss Blitz Galaxy]]
|This galaxy pits the player against five bosses from the first game (for a total of ten boss fights including the Prankster Comet mission, the most out of any world). The player faces off against [[Dino Piranha]], [[King Kaliente]], [[Major Burrows]], [[Bouldergeist]] and [[Dino Piranha|Fiery Dino Piranha]], in that specific order. It contains six planets surrounding a {{wp|white dwarf|white dwarf star}}.

|Collect 100 Stars, including the first one from Stone Cyclone Galaxy.
|-
!6
|align=center|[[File:FlipOutGalaxy.png|200px]]
|[[Flip-Out Galaxy]]
|This the final galaxy unlocked before the player obtains 240 Power Stars. The galaxy uses the same concept as the [[Flip-Swap Galaxy]] from [[World 1 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 1]], except that instead of controlling [[Red-Blue Panel]]s, the player controls [[red and blue blocks]]. In this regard, it combines the mechanics of the Flip-Swap Galaxy with [[Wall Jump]]ing.
|data-sort-value="4"|[[File:Smg2 icon powerstar.png|20px|link=Wicked Wall Jumps]][[File:Smg2 icon prankstercomet.png|20px|link=Cosmic Clone Wall Jumpers]][[File:Smg2 icon greencomet.png|20px|Green Star 1|link=Flip-Out Galaxy#Green Star 1]][[File:Smg2 icon greencomet.png|20px|Green Star 2|link=Flip-Out Galaxy#Green Star 2]]
|Get 110 Stars, including the first one from Boss Blitz Galaxy, then feed the [[Hungry Luma]] on the World S map 2000 [[Star Bit]]s.
|-
!7
|align=center|[[File:Grandmaster Galaxy.png|200px]]
|[[Grandmaster Galaxy]]
|This galaxy is analogous to the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' because the player must collect all 240 [[Power Star]]s and [[Green Star]]s to unlock it. This is the only Galaxy where Green Stars do not appear because the player has to collect all of the Green Stars in the game in order to unlock this galaxy.
|data-sort-value="2"|[[File:Smg2 icon powerstar.png|20px|link=The Ultimate Test]][[File:Smg2 icon prankstercomet.png|20px|link=The Perfect Run]]
|Collect the 240 Stars and Green Stars, excluding [[Bronze Star]]s.
