The '''Rolling Coaster Galaxy''' is one of the many galaxies found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. As its name implies, 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. It appears to be a reference to the [[Rainbow Road]] courses in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. The name of the first mission, "[[The Rainbow Road Roll]]", in this galaxy confirms this. The music speeds up as the Star Ball rolls faster, and slows down as the Star Ball rolls slower. This galaxy is also similar to [[Rolling Green Galaxy]] and [[Rolling Gizmo Galaxy]] from [[Super Mario Galaxy|the first game]].


The '''Rolling Coaster Galaxy''' is one of the many galaxies found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Like its name implies, this galaxy is like a roller coaster and, like in [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]], the player must roll a [[Star Ball]] to the end. Also, many [[Starshroom]]s appear along the way. It seems to be a reference to the [[Rainbow Ride]] level in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and the [[Rainbow Road]] courses in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. The name of the first mission in this galaxy confirms this. This galaxy uses the same music from [[The Princess's Secret Slide]], [[Tick Tock Clock]] and Rainbow Ride levels in ''Super Mario 64'', which speeds up as the Star Ball rolls faster.
Partway through the level, the path splits in two. One of the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s says that the right path is for experts, while the other is assumed to be for beginners. In the "[[Purple Coins on the Rainbow Road]]" mission, the path for experts is the only path present. The [[Comet Medal]] is also on this path. The only enemies found in this galaxy are [[Bob-omb]]s and [[Mini Goomba]]s. The galaxy uses a cover version of the "[[Slider]]" music from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', which is also the song that plays when sliding down the large slide in the [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]].

At the end of the path, Mario/Luigi is dropped off at Rainbow Road Path 2.
This pathway is more inclined than the others. The path also gets narrower as the player goes towards the end. The player will be dropped off at a grassy platform where there is a chute that connects to the final platform.

To complete this mission, the player first needs to get on top of the [[Star Ball]] at the starting platform. Then, they have to use it to roll down the vgarious paths and platforms. They must avoid falling off the sides of the paths or running into [[Bob-omb]]s, which could cause them to fall off the side. When the player makes it to the [[#Ending Planet|Ending Planet]], they will find a green hole. They must roll the Star Ball into it to release the [[Power Star]].

When the [[Prankster Comet]] has been unlocked, the player will find a [[Purple Coin Ball]] at the starting planet as opposed to the normal [[Star Ball]]. The player must follow the same path as in the first mission, except for the fact that they will only be able to follow the path for experts when the course splits in two, instead of choosing either one to follow. Obviously, the player must also make sure to collect at least 100 of the 110 [[Purple Coin]]s found on the Rainbow Road Planet with an imposing time limit of two minutes. If they are able to collect at least 100 Purple Coins within the time limit and successfully make it to the Ending Planet, then a [[Gearmo]] will reward Mario with a [[Power Star]]. If not, the player will have to start the level over.

The Rolling Coaster Galaxy is one of the many galaxies found in Super Mario Galaxy 2. As its name implies, 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 Starshrooms appear along the way. It appears to be a reference to the Rainbow Road courses in the Mario Kart series. The name of the first mission, "The Rainbow Road Roll", in this galaxy confirms this. The music speeds up as the Star Ball rolls faster, and slows down as the Star Ball rolls slower. This galaxy is also similar to Rolling Green Galaxy and Rolling Gizmo Galaxy from the first game.

Partway through the level, the path splits in two. One of the Toads says that the right path is for experts, while the other is assumed to be for beginners. In the "Purple Coins on the Rainbow Road" mission, the path for experts is the only path present. The Comet Medal is also on this path. The only enemies found in this galaxy are Bob-ombs and Mini Goombas. The galaxy uses a cover version of the "Slider" music from Super Mario 64, which is also the song that plays when sliding down the large slide in the Tall Trunk Galaxy.

Planets/Areas[edit]

Rainbow Road[edit]

A view of the majority of the paths and areas.

Rather than being separate planets, this galaxy is connected by chutes which allow the player to access the different paths and platforms.

Starting Platform[edit]

Mario near the start of the level.

Mario/Luigi starts on a simple orange and red platform. There is nothing of significance here besides the Star Ball, some coins, and a chute that takes Mario/Luigi to the next area. Mario/Luigi needs the Star Ball to use the chute; if he tries to use it without the Star Ball, he will fall through into the void.[1]

Rainbow Road Path 1[edit]

Mario rolling down the rainbow path.

This is a simple path that consists of colored tiles. There are no hazards on this path. It eventually drops the player off at an area where two roads diverge in different directions. Bob-ombs are found at the end of the pathway.

Beginner Path[edit]

Mario on the large path.

When Mario/Luigi takes the left path, it leads him here. Possibly dubbed "Beginner Path", by the Toads, it is covered in beige tiles and is covered with light-colored Mini Goombas and Bob-ombs. The edges of the path are concave, meaning that Mario/Luigi cannot fall off the edge unless blasted off by a Bob-omb. This pathway is also wider than adjacent one and has more undulations. At the end of the path, Mario/Luigi is dropped off at Rainbow Road Path 2.

Expert Path[edit]

Mario traversing the Expert Path.

Taking the right path at the junction takes Mario/Luigi to this area. Dubbed "Expert Path", by the Toads, it is a narrow, rainbow-tiled pathway. There are numerous beams found on the edges of the path, which bounces Mario/Luigi off course if he is to come in contact with it. There are a few Bob-ombs here and a Comet Medal is also found here. At the end of the path, Mario/Luigi is dropped off at Rainbow Road Path 2.

Rainbow Road Path 2[edit]

Mario on the second rainbow path.

This pathway is much like the first rainbow road pathway, except that it is more inclined and it sometimes gets narrow during certain times. Mario/Luigi is dropped off at several pink and purple platforms where there is a chute that takes him to the final path.

Rainbow Road Path 3[edit]

The final rainbow path is being traveled on by Mario.

This pathway is more inclined than the others. The path also gets narrower as Mario/Luigi travels towards the end. He is dropped off at a grassy platform where there is a chute that connects to the final platform.

Ending Planet[edit]

The final planet is in view.

There is nothing of importance on this planet except for the hole which the Star Ball goes into. During the Purple Coin mission, there is a Gearmo present, which takes away Mario/Luigi's life if he does not have enough Purple Coins (if he does not have any lives to lose, he gets a Game Over).

Enemies[edit]

Green Stars[edit]

Green Star 1[edit]

Mario about to grab the first Green Star.

The first Green Star is located near the beginning of the level. The player should take the Beginner Path instead of the Expert Path. They need to stay in the middle and to avoid Bob-ombs and Mini Goombas, up a bumpy slope. Just before the player drops off the end of the slope, they must use the momentum of the Star Ball and jump into the air, directly into the star.

Green Star 2[edit]

The second Green Star in sight.

The last Green Star is near the end of the final rainbow road path, just before the Ending Planet. It is positioned at the right side of the course, hovering in the air. For the player to reach it, they must either carefully use the momentum of the course to land on the star or jump before reaching the edge. If done correctly, the player should easily grab the star instead of falling off the course.

Prima Official Game Guide description[edit]

  • "The Rolling Coaster Galaxy is modeled after one of Mario's favorite karting tracks. However, there are no wheels to be found here. Instead, you must roll through this colorful cosmic challenge on a sphere. The Power Star you seek is actually right under your toes."
