Flip-Swap Galaxy

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed soon...very soon....

Template:Galaxybox Flip-Swap Galaxy is a galaxy that appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is located in World 1. It is based on levels from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Sunshine. Performing a Spin Jump will make the blue and red platforms flip over and swap places. Incoming Chomps also appear on the blue and red platforms, along with other enemies, like Goombas. A Star Bunny also makes an appearance here and gives out a hint.

Planets

Template:Conjecturaltext

The Flip-Swap Planet is split up into five different areas, each with their own gimmicks and perks.

Template:Conjecturaltext

The first area of this galaxy is rather simple. It only consists of a few flipping panels that change when the player performs a Star Spin. The player simply needs to time there spins to reach the other side of the planet.

The next area introduces electrified, moving fences. However, these fences move rather slowly, so they should not be a huge nuisance. In the Think Before You Shake mission, the panels are attached to each other. However, during the Purple Coins Flip 'n' Sprint mission, the panels are spread apart and more electric fences are added and the area is larger. The Goombas and Octoombas on the platform between Area 1 and Area 2 are gone as well during the Purple Coin mission.

This next area is rather small and the only real hazard featured here is a large Incoming Chomp that rolls around the red panels. During the Purple Coins Flip 'n' Sprint mission, an electric wire moving back and forth appears on the platform connecting this area with Area 2.

In this area, there are now four sets of Incoming Chomps. The area is also rather large as well. The Comet Medal is also found here.

The final area features faster moving electric fences and the panels are also spread out. During the Purple Coins Flip 'n' Sprint mission, the electric fences are replaced with two fast-moving electric wires that move across two separate sections of the area.

The player will find a Star Bunny on Starship Mario after completing this mission.

Green Star 1

This star is found above one of the red platforms in the second area. The player has to perform a Triple Jump and Star Spin or a well timed backwards somersault and star spin to reach this Green Star. If the player misses the star then they can try again if they manage to land on the platforms which will be flipped from the Star Spin. Luigi's extra aerial gain makes him the ideal choice for this star.
