- Not to be confused with Cosmic Clone.
Cosmic Mario is a character that appears in Super Mario Galaxy. His physical shape is identical to Mario, while his outer appearance is blue with stars all over, as if he were made of cosmic matter. He also has an unusually high-pitched voice. If Mario enters a galaxy when a Cosmic Comet is orbiting a galaxy, Cosmic Mario appears at the beginning at the level and challenges the player to a race. The player must then race through numerous obstacles and reach the Power Star before Cosmic Mario does. If Cosmic Mario manages to reach the Power Star first, Mario will lose a life and must restart the race. Colliding with him during the race causes him to release Star Bits.
A similar entity based on Cosmic Mario appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario 3D Land in the form of the Cosmic Clones. Other entities are the Cosmic Spirit from Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Mummy-Me from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.
Cosmic Luigi
Cosmic Luigi also appears, replacing Cosmic Mario when playing as Luigi. He is very similar to Cosmic Mario, with the only major difference being that he takes advantage of shortcuts more often and uses a lot of Long Jumps, making him faster and much harder to beat than his counterpart.
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, despite not being in the game while playing as Luigi, Cosmic Clones behave very similarly, being slightly faster.
