They reappear again in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and feature the same appearance and function as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Depending on which galaxy the player is in, there may be anywhere from one to several Checkpoint Flags positioned from the beginning of the level to the end of the level.

Trivia
- In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Checkpoint Flags don't always have to be activated by Mario or Luigi; they can also be activated by the Co-Star Luma or by Yoshi's tongue.
