'''Ghostly Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Many elements of this area are of a haunted theme, and [[Mario]] can find [[Boo Mushroom]]s that turn him into a [[Boo Mario|Boo]]. This galaxy also has the first appearance of [[Luigi]] in the game. Upon obtaining the galaxy's first [[Power Star]], Luigi will be rescued in the process. After being rescued, Luigi will later discover a few more Power Stars for Mario to collect in other galaxies.

An arrangement of the music heard inside the mansion is used for [[Ghost House]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', a small portion of the music was rearranged and is heard in [[The Enigmansion]], and a faster version plays once all Boos are encountered in the dining room.

'''NOTE''': Most planets and areas in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' are nameless. Unless otherwise noted, all headers are informal descriptors.
[[File:Ghostlygalaxystartingplanet.PNG|200px|thumb|left|Starting Planet.]]
===Starting area===
The first thing Mario does in this galaxy is board a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] [[Starshroom|ship]], which always leads to the starting planet. The starting planet has about three [[Swooper]]s and three [[Jack O' Goomba]]s. There is a spike that contains a [[Rainbow Star]] when [[Spin|spun]] that could be used for destroying the [[Chain Chomp]] [[Chomp Head|Heads]] in the first mission. In the third mission, there are three [[Scuttle Bug]]s. Each mission has a different [[Launch Star]] to get to the planets. There is a big gap in the middle of the planet that contains a [[Black Hole]].
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Starting Planet.png|thumb|200px|The Green Starshroom near the starting area.]]
The starting point is a green [[Starshroom]], which has a [[Launch Star]] leading to a stretch of road connected to the Haunted Mansion. The riad has three [[Bat (Super Mario Galaxy)|bat]]s and three [[Jack O'Goomba|Pumpkinhead Goomba]]s. There is a [[rock spire]] that releases a [[Rainbow Star]] when [[Spin|spun]], which can be used for destroying the [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s in the first mission. In the third mission, there are three [[Spangler]]s. Each mission has a different Launch Star to get to the planets. There is a big gap in the middle of the area that contains a [[black hole]].

{{multiple image
The Mansion Planet is a planet that resembles [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]] in this galaxy. It is visited only in the first and third missions, though the third mission only has part of the Mansion. In the first mission, when Mario (or Luigi) enters the Mansion, he will come face-to-face to his first [[Boo]] in the game, providing that the player has not decided to skip this galaxy and go to another Boo containing galaxy (i.e. [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]). The Boo can be exterminated with a ray of light that gets turned on by a [[Lever]] near the door. Also, there are some boxes near the edges of the room. Some of them contains [[Toad (species)|Toads]] that give Mario information, while others give him [[Coin]]s and [[Star Bits]]. There are also some [[Bowser]] Statues near the Crates.

The '''Haunted Mansion''' is visited in two levels: Luigi and the Haunted Mansion and Beware of Bouldergeist, though Beware of Bouldergeist only has part of the mansion. In Luigi and the Haunted Mansion, a ray of light can be turned on by hitting a [[Lever Switch]] near the door to defeat a [[Boo]]. Also, there are some boxes near the edges of the room. Some of them contain [[Toad (species)|Toads]] that give Mario information, while others give him [[Coin]]s and [[Star Bit]]s. There are also some [[Bowser]] statues near the crates.

There is a painting of a Boo on top of the stairs and when Mario goes near it, a Boo spouts out. A Launch Star leads to the upper floor of the mansion. Luigi is trapped in a prison and must be rescued. [[Jill Board]] teaches Mario how to use the Boo Mushroom in one of the rooms.

In Luigi and the Haunted Mansion, there is a hidden room containing a large amount of coins. To enter this room, Mario needs to enter a [[Star Chip]] room containing [[Jack O'Goomba|Pumpkinhead Goomba]]s. Then, Mario must go to the ceiling and he must ground pound a white circle full of cracks, where the hidden room gets revealed. The room consists of a Lever Switch that activates coins appearing temporarily and eight [[Sling Star]]s. The Sling Stars lead Mario to each other and they help him collect the coins.


In the third mission, only the first part of the mansion (with the Bowser statues) is seen. Instead of a Boo painting however, it is a [[Bomb Boo]] painting. It is used to destroy the statues to get coins, or to destroy the statue in the fireplace to proceed onwards. There are also the boxes from the first mission. When Mario enters the fireplace he is automatically inside a Launch Star, and is sent away to his next mission.

==={{conjecturaltext|Bone Pen Planets|planets}}===
===Phantom Tower Planets===
The Bone Pen Planets are planets prior and after to the real Bone Pen. They are typical planets: round and able to walk "upside down". There are some trees with faces that have star bits on their branches on the first one. Also some shells are girded along the ground which the plumber may Spin near to get some Star Bits. The [[Spooky Speedster]] is found here. The second one is much like the first one but it has a ring that is connected to the planet. The ring makes the other side of the planet hard to get to so Mario has to do a back flip over the ring to get there.

When Mario gets to the second [[Launch Star]] in Beware of Bouldergeist, he arrives at the first '''Phantom Tower Planet'''.<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PhantomTowerPlanet.arc)</ref> This planet contains Spoings, Pumpkinhead Goombas, [[Bomb Boos]], and a few [[Sling Pod]]s. At the top, there is a [[Sling Star]] that takes Mario to the second Phantom Tower Planet. Here, Mario must collect five blue [[Star Chip]]s to create [[Pull Star]]s leading to a Launch Star. This takes Mario to the Phantom Hole Planet with a bouncy ball, then to the Bouldergeist Battle Planet.

==={{conjecturaltext|Cracked Wall Planets|planet}}===
===Bouldergeist Battle Planet===
When [[Mario]] gets to the second [[Launch Star]] in Mission 3, he will arrive here. This Planet contains some Cosmic Scuttlebugs, Pumpkin Goombas, and a few [[Sling Pod]]s. At the top, there is a [[Sling Star]] that will take Mario to the second Cracked Wall Planet. Here, the player must collect five blue [[Star Chip]]s to create [[Pull Star]]s leading to a Launch Star. This will take Mario to a Bouncy Planet, then to the Bouldergeist Planet.
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Bouldergeist Planet.png|200px|thumb|The Bouldergeist Battle Planet.]]
The '''Bouldergeist Battle Planet'''<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PoltaBattlePlanet.arc)</ref> is where Mario encounters Bouldergeist, a boss. This planet is shaped like a circle with platforms leading up to it. There is also [[Lumalee]] here. When Mario fights Bouldergeist, Bomb Boos appear. Besides them and a few coins, the planet is empty. When Bouldergeist is beaten, Mario earns a Power Star.


==={{conjecturaltext|Bouldergeist Planet|planet}}===
===Boo Race Zone===
[[File:Bouldergeist.jpg|200px|thumb|Mario fighting Bouldergeist on the Bouldergeist Planet.]]
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Race Area.png|thumb|left|200px|The Boo Race Zone.]]
This Planet is where Mario encounters the Boss, Bouldergeist. This planet is shaped like a circle with platforms leading up to it. There is also a [[Luma Shop]] here. When Mario fights Bouldergeist, Bomb Boos will appear. Besides this and a few coins, the Planet is empty. When Bouldergeist is beaten, the player will earn a Power Star.
The '''Boo Race Zone'''<ref>Zone name for the area when accessed in the WhiteHole ''Super Mario Galaxy'' level editor. It overlaps with the Purple Coin version of the course, meaning it is the same.</ref> is where Mario races the Spooky Speedster using Pull Stars. It is ringed by bones and there are multiple obstacles made of bones all around it along with a cluster of [[Mikey Mine|Space Mine]]s at the end. This zone is also where Mario collects 100 [[Purple Coin]]s in under one minute. This version of the Boo Race Zone is made up of [[Pull Star]]s and bones so the player does not get out of the boundaries. There is also some meat that bounces Mario in a different direction.


===Bone Pen===
===Phantom Hole Planets===
[[File:Bone Pen.jpg|200px|thumb|Mario collecting Purple Coins in the Bone Pen.]]
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Bouncy Ball Planet.png|thumb|200px|The Phantom Hole Planet with the bouncy ball in the middle.]]
This planet is where the player races the Spooky Speedster and collect 100 [[Purple Coin]]s in under one minute. The Bone Pen is basically made up of [[Pull Star]]s and bones so the player does not get out of the boundaries. There is also some meat that bounces Mario in a different direction.
The '''Phantom Hole Planets'''<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PhantomHolePlanet.arc)</ref> are just the hollowed out rims of a planet, one of them has a pink bouncy ball in its center and Space Mines around it. Most of them do not have gravity barring the planet with the bouncy ball. Long Jumping for too long on this planet will result in a death.


==={{conjecturaltext|Hollowed-out Planets|planets}}===
===Darkness Room Planet===
These planets are just the hollowed out rims of a planet, one of them has a pink bouncy ball in its center and mines around it. Most of them don't have gravity because there is no core but the one with the bouncy ball does.

The '''Darkness Room Planet'''<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/DarknessRoomPlanet.arc)</ref> is an area very similar to the [[Matter Splatter Galaxy]]. It is apparently a crumbling mansion where Mario must follow spotlights of shifting [[matter]] to navigate through the mansion and get the Power Star.

These are six small '''Star Peace Spouting Planets'''<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/StarPeaceSpoutingPlanet.arc). Note: Star Peace is a misspelling of "Star Piece".</ref>  that shoot from three to five Star Bits each. Mario only passes by them and can only reach one of them by doing the [[List of Super Mario Galaxy glitches#Pull Star Movement exploit|Pull Star movement exploit glitch]]. They seem to be made of metal by close examination and are covered by a purple covering. If looked at closely, the player can see small red stars on them.

The '''Planet Rocket'''<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PlanetRocket.arc)</ref> appears only in the Luigi and the Haunted Mansion level and the levels with [[Bouldergeist]], and appears to be an exact replica of the planets of the same name from the [[Space Junk Galaxy]]. It has a similar appearance to [[Hocotate Ship|Olimar and Louie's ship]] from ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]''. Though it cannot actually be visited by [[Mario]], the player can look to the left just after landing on the Haunted Mansion in order to see it floating in space in the Luigi and the Haunted Mansion level, and above and to the left of the Bouldergeist Battle Planet in the Bouldergeist levels. A large amount of debris circles the ship.


==={{conjecturaltext|Space Ship Planet|planet}}===
The player can only reach the ship via hacking. The ship has little gravity that can be escaped with a single jump.<ref>The Beaverhouse (May 1, 2010).

This planet only appears in the "Luigi and the Haunted Mansion" level and the levels with [[Bouldergeist]], and appears to be an exact replica of the planet of the same name from the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] (commonly thought to be [[Hocotate Ship|Olimar and Louie's ship]] from ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]''). Though it cannot actually be visited by [[Mario]], the player can look to the left just after landing on the [[#Mansion Planet|Mansion Planet]] in order to see it floating in space in the "Luigi and the Haunted Mansion" levels, and above and to the left of the [[#Bouldergeist Planet|Bouldergeist Planet]] in the Bouldergeist levels. If hacking the player can reach the ship. The ship does have gravity but it is very small and any single jump can make the player fall. A large amount of junk circles the ship.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HMwNdGj3WM&feature=related</ref>


==={{conjecturaltext|Spooky Speedster Planet|planet}}===
===Boo Race Start Planet===
The Spooky Speedster Planet is the planet that the Spooky Speedster is found on. It has multiple trees and all of the members of the [[Toad Brigade]] are there. There are several Star Bits in the trees, and the player starts the race with the Spooky Speedster here.

==={{conjecturaltext|Finish Line Planet|planet}}===
===Boo Race Goal Planet===
This is the planet at the end of the race with the Spooky Speedster. There is a wall halfway through the planet which does not let Mario get across. However, if Mario does a backflip, wall jump and spin backwards, he can make it over. Another way back is to take the Warp Pipe at the top of the planet.

Another way back to the starting line is to take the Warp Pipe at the top of the planet.


==={{conjecturaltext|Pull Star Planets|planet}}===
===Blue Star Cupsule Planets===
These are two planets in the middle of the Race Area which are hollow and made out of glass. The only feature about them is that they have Pull Stars in the middle of them that will let Mario go across.

|mission1=[[Luigi and the Haunted Mansion]]
At first, Mario starts off on the [[Toad Brigade]]'s [[Starshroom|ship]], but has to use a [[Launch Star]] to reach the pathway into the mansion. Jack O' Goombas litter the pathway, so [[Mario]] must be careful. [[Boo]]s are inside the mansion, but a switch activates a swinging beam of light, which Mario has to lure them into to defeat them and get the items they are guarding. One of the [[Boo]]s has a key to get deeper into the mansion.
|image1=[[File:Luigicaged.png|200px]]
 
|summary1=This mission's objective is to rescue Luigi, who is trapped in a Haunted Mansion.
Soon, Star Chips can be collected to rebuild a Launch Star which will then be located in one of the windows where a black hole was before. Using the Launch Star, Mario is then launched into another part of the mansion, where Luigi is calling for help beyond an impassable window. Mario will have to find another way inside, where he discovers a new power-up, the [[Boo Mushroom]]. As [[Boo Mario]], he needs to vanish to pass through the bars, but he must be careful as a beam of light which will make him lose the Boo Suit is in the next area. Mario needs to return to normal before he can speak with Luigi to get the [[Power Star]].

===A Very Spooky Sprint===
[[File:speedster.jpg|thumb|left|Mario starting to race the Speedster.]]
To win this level's power star, Mario must defeat the [[Spooky Speedster]] in a race using [[Pull Star]]s. At the start, there is a big empty stretch of air that must be traversed using Pull Stars which will then blast Mario to the Spooky Speedster's planet. Mario must then race the Spooky Speedster along a race course ringed by bones using pull stars. If a pull star runs out, Mario will be pulled backwards through the race. There are multiple moving and non-moving bones all around the racecourse and multiple bones surrounded by a substance which will bounce Mario off meanwhile making a sound like a gong. There is a short-cut right after the first set of gong-bones in the form of a [[Sling Star]] which will fire Mario in front of the area with two glass planets that have Pull Stars in the center of them. The next area is full of mines that must be traveled through, a good strategy here would be to say no to the Spooky Speedster's request at the start and come to these mines then blow up some of them with [[Star Bit]]s for a straight path through. If Mario gets there after the Spooky Speedster does, he'll lose a life automatically, if Mario gets there before Spooky Speedster, he will give him the [[Power Star]].

===Beware of Bouldergeist===
A member of the Toad Brigade informs Mario that the monster that kidnapped Luigi in the first mission lives here. Mario has to find his way to a circular stone platform where he meets [[Bouldergeist]], a ghost with the ability to control stone. Mario must dodge the rocks it uses and its hands in the second round meanwhile grabbing the Bomb Boos and hitting its body. Mario must defeat Bouldergeist by using [[Bomb Boo]]s to hit its main body three times, twice (a total of six times). Doing so causes Bouldergeist to explode, leaving behind a [[Power Star]].

===Purple Coins in the Bone Pen (Purple Comet)===
[[Mario]] starts off on a small planet with the "Bone Pen" in front of it. The Bone Pen features bones as walls, meaty bones as bumpers, spiky balls as obstacles, and Pull Stars for getting around. There are more than 100 [[Purple Coins]], but only 100 have to be collected by the player before the Power Star appears in the center of the pen. This mission, until completed, is only available when a Purple Comet is in orbit, and has a one minute time limit, the strictest time limit of all Purple Comets in the game. The time still goes on even after 100 coins is collected. Strangely, there are a total of 149 coins rather than 150 coins.

[[File:Matter_Splatter_Mansion_1.png|thumb|Mario finding a [[Key]] in the Matter Splatter Mansion.]]
A mission similar to the [[Matter Splatter Galaxy]]. While playing the level "A Very Spooky Sprint", the ring shaped planet containing pumpkin-headed [[Goomba]]s also has two breakable stalagmites. One contains a [[Rainbow Star]], and the other contains a Launch Star to the Matter Splatter Mansion (there is a sort of light around the one with the launch star). Here, Mario must walk along the moving sections of matter that the spotlights reveal. [[Mario]] will need to go through, getting keys, and unlocking doors to get through; eventually, there will be a [[Power Star]] behind one of the doors.

*Strangely, when the player plays as [[Luigi]] in the above level, the trapped Luigi still shouts "[[Mario]]". This could either be something the developers missed, or the fact that he could have been expecting Mario to rescue him.
*Ghostly Galaxy's background, along with a [[Bonefin Galaxy|couple]] [[Boo's Boneyard Galaxy|others]] is actually a slightly edited version of that of the [[zeldawiki:Ghost Ship (The Wind Waker)|Ghost Ship]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''.
*The mansion has three floors, with the first floor and third floor appearing in levels, and the second floor being unused.

Ghostly Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. Many elements of this area are of a haunted theme, and Mario can find Boo Mushrooms that turn him into a Boo. This galaxy also has the first appearance of Luigi in the game, who is rescued in the process of obtaining the galaxy's first Power Star. After being rescued, Luigi will later discover a few more Power Stars for Mario to collect in other galaxies. Bouldergeist is the boss of this galaxy.

An arrangement of the music heard inside the mansion is used for Ghost Houses in Super Mario 3D Land. In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, a small portion of the music was rearranged and is heard in The Enigmansion, and a faster version plays once all Boos are encountered in the dining room.

Planets/Areas[edit]

NOTE: Most planets and areas in Super Mario Galaxy are nameless. Unless otherwise noted, all headers are informal descriptors.

Starting area[edit]

The Green Starshroom near the starting area.

The starting point is a green Starshroom, which has a Launch Star leading to a stretch of road connected to the Haunted Mansion. The riad has three bats and three Pumpkinhead Goombas. There is a rock spire that releases a Rainbow Star when spun, which can be used for destroying the Chomps in the first mission. In the third mission, there are three Spanglers. Each mission has a different Launch Star to get to the planets. There is a big gap in the middle of the area that contains a black hole.

Haunted Mansion[edit]

The beginning part before entering the mansion.

The Haunted Mansion is visited in two levels: Luigi and the Haunted Mansion and Beware of Bouldergeist, though Beware of Bouldergeist only has part of the mansion. In Luigi and the Haunted Mansion, a ray of light can be turned on by hitting a Lever Switch near the door to defeat a Boo. Also, there are some boxes near the edges of the room. Some of them contain Toads that give Mario information, while others give him Coins and Star Bits. There are also some Bowser statues near the crates.

The top floor of the mansion.

There is a painting of a Boo on top of the stairs and when Mario goes near it, a Boo spouts out. A Launch Star leads to the upper floor of the mansion. Luigi is trapped in a prison and must be rescued. Jill Board teaches Mario how to use the Boo Mushroom in one of the rooms.

In Luigi and the Haunted Mansion, there is a hidden room containing a large amount of coins. To enter this room, Mario needs to enter a Star Chip room containing Pumpkinhead Goombas. Then, Mario must go to the ceiling and he must ground pound a white circle full of cracks, where the hidden room gets revealed. The room consists of a Lever Switch that activates coins appearing temporarily and eight Sling Stars. The Sling Stars lead Mario to each other and they help him collect the coins.

In Beware of Bouldergeist, only the first part of the mansion with the Bowser statues is seen. Instead of a Boo painting however, there is a Bomb Boo painting. It is used to destroy the statues to get coins, or to destroy the statue in the fireplace to proceed onwards. There are also the boxes from the first mission. The fireplace contains a Launch Star.

Phantom Tower Planets[edit]

The second of the Phantom Tower Planets.

When Mario gets to the second Launch Star in Beware of Bouldergeist, he arrives at the first Phantom Tower Planet.[1] This planet contains Spoings, Pumpkinhead Goombas, Bomb Boos, and a few Sling Pods. At the top, there is a Sling Star that takes Mario to the second Phantom Tower Planet. Here, Mario must collect five blue Star Chips to create Pull Stars leading to a Launch Star. This takes Mario to the Phantom Hole Planet with a bouncy ball, then to the Bouldergeist Battle Planet.

Bouldergeist Battle Planet[edit]

The Bouldergeist Battle Planet.

The Bouldergeist Battle Planet[2] is where Mario encounters Bouldergeist, a boss. This planet is shaped like a circle with platforms leading up to it. There is also Lumalee here. When Mario fights Bouldergeist, Bomb Boos appear. Besides them and a few coins, the planet is empty. When Bouldergeist is beaten, Mario earns a Power Star.

Boo Race Zone[edit]

The Boo Race Zone.

The Boo Race Zone[3] is where Mario races the Spooky Speedster using Pull Stars. It is ringed by bones and there are multiple obstacles made of bones all around it along with a cluster of Space Mines at the end. This zone is also where Mario collects 100 Purple Coins in under one minute. This version of the Boo Race Zone is made up of Pull Stars and bones so the player does not get out of the boundaries. There is also some meat that bounces Mario in a different direction.

Phantom Hole Planets[edit]

The Phantom Hole Planet with the bouncy ball in the middle.

The Phantom Hole Planets[4] are just the hollowed out rims of a planet, one of them has a pink bouncy ball in its center and Space Mines around it. Most of them do not have gravity barring the planet with the bouncy ball. Long Jumping for too long on this planet will result in a death.

Darkness Room Planet[edit]

The Darkness Room Planet.

The Darkness Room Planet[5] is an area very similar to the Matter Splatter Galaxy. It is apparently a crumbling mansion where Mario must follow spotlights of shifting matter to navigate through the mansion and get the Power Star.

Star Peace Spouting Planets[edit]

A glitch from Super Mario Galaxy involving Luigi on a star bit shooter planet.

These are six small Star Peace Spouting Planets[6] that shoot from three to five Star Bits each. Mario only passes by them and can only reach one of them by doing the Pull Star movement exploit glitch. They seem to be made of metal by close examination and are covered by a purple covering. If looked at closely, the player can see small red stars on them.

Planet Rocket[edit]

The Planet Rocket.

The Planet Rocket[7] appears only in the Luigi and the Haunted Mansion level and the levels with Bouldergeist, and appears to be an exact replica of the planets of the same name from the Space Junk Galaxy. It has a similar appearance to Olimar and Louie's ship from Pikmin 2. Though it cannot actually be visited by Mario, the player can look to the left just after landing on the Haunted Mansion in order to see it floating in space in the Luigi and the Haunted Mansion level, and above and to the left of the Bouldergeist Battle Planet in the Bouldergeist levels. A large amount of debris circles the ship.

The player can only reach the ship via hacking. The ship has little gravity that can be escaped with a single jump.[8]

Boo Race Start Planet[edit]

The Boo Race Start Planet.

The Boo Race Start Planet[9] is where the Spooky Speedster is found. It has multiple trees and all of the members of the Toad Brigade are there. There are several Star Bits in the trees, and the player starts the race with the Spooky Speedster here.

Boo Race Goal Planet[edit]

The Boo Race Goal Planet.

The Boo Race Goal Planet[10] is a ringed planet where the race with the Spooky Speedster ends. The ring acts as a wall which does not let Mario get across. However, if Mario does a backflip, wall jump and spin backwards, he can make it over. Another way back to the starting line is to take the Warp Pipe at the top of the planet.

Blue Star Cupsule Planets[edit]

The Blue Star Cupsule Planets.

The Blue Star Cupsule Planets[11] are two capsule-like planets in the middle of the Boo Race Zone. Their only feature is that they have Pull Stars in the middle of them that will let Mario go across.

Enemies[edit]
