The '''Sand Spiral Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. This galaxy is a large barrel with a rapid sand river. This galaxy has many [[Boo]]s, and [[Swooper]]s. When the player start out, he or she appear to be on some kind of [[airship]] that appears crashed.
The '''Sand Spiral Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is a short course set inside and around a large barrel with a rapid sand river, where [[Boo]]s and [[bat (Super Mario Galaxy)|bat]]s act as the main enemies. A gimmick of this level is giving the player the choice to use either the [[Boo Mushroom]] or the [[Bee Mushroom]] to traverse its initial portion.


==How to unlock==
This galaxy is unlocked when Mario completes the mission [[Faster Than a Speeding Penguin]] in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] and [[Luigi and the Haunted Mansion]] in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]], as the latter is supposed to introduce the Boo Mushroom. Once Mario does so, a [[Hungry Luma]] will appear behind the Engine Room, who transforms into the Sand Spiral Galaxy when fed 1000 [[Star Bit]]s.
To unlock this galaxy, Mario must beat the level [[Sea Slide Galaxy#Faster Than a Speeding Penguin|Faster Than a Speeding Penguin]] in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], as well as [[Ghostly Galaxy#Luigi and the Haunted Mansion|Luigi and the Haunted Mansion]] in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]] -- this is because that star is supposed to "introduce" the Boo Mushroom. Once Mario does so, a Hungry Luma will appear behind the Engine Room, Mario will have to feed the Hungry Luma, and the way to the Sand Spiral Galaxy is revealed.

{{conjecture|subsections=yes}}
This is just the front half of an airship that seemingly crashed into something or was blasted. Mario starts out here and continues to the sand planet. It is more likely that it was blasted by some sort of weapon due to the scattered debris floating nearby and the fact that the division where the two halves would meet is made up of jagged, protruding chunks of deck, wood, and some individual wooden beams that would support or make up the decks. On the airship there is a [[Magikoopa]].
===Wrecked Airship Planet===

The front half of a damaged airship, which functions as the starting planet of the galaxy. At the end is a [[Launch Star]] that Mario can use to get to the Sinking Sand Planet. Scattered debris float nearby, and the damage where the missing half of the ship should be is depicted in detail, with jagged, protruding chunks of deck, wood, and some individual wooden beams. On the airship there is a [[Magikoopa]] that will retreat to the Sinking Sand Planet if not defeated.


==={{conjecturaltext|Sinking Sand Planet|planet}}===
===Sinking Sand Planet===
This is a large pipe-like planet that is filled with sand. Mario must navigate through the obstacles and avoid falling into the sand by either using the [[Bee Mushroom]] or the [[Boo Mushroom]].
[[File:SMG Sand Spiral Sinking Sand.png|thumb|200px|left|The Sinking Sand Planet]]
This is a large planet with a barrel-like exterior and a tunnel made of brick inside, through which a river of [[quicksand]] flows. Mario must navigate through the obstacles (which include [[Water Shooter]]s and spotlights) and avoid falling into the sand by either using the Bee Mushroom or the Boo Mushroom. The end of the tunnel marks a [[checkpoint]], and a [[Honey wall|honeycomb wall panel]] appears here, as well as a [[Sling Star]] that launches the player onward.

Mario can access this area in his [[Bee Mario|bee form]]. If he reaches the area as [[Boo Mario]], however, the power-up wears off. The Purple Toad explains that the moonlight is too bright.

[[File:Boomarioflying.jpg|200px|thumb|Boo Mario crossing the quicksand.]]
[[File:Ssg2.PNG|200px|thumb|left|Bee Mario crossing the quicksand.]]
The goal in the level is to get through a tunnel filled with quicksand. The player starts at a broken airship, and, after the [[Magikoopa]] on board it warps ahead to the tunnel itself, Mario can take a [[Sling Star]] over to the Sinking Sand Planet. Here he has the choice of becoming [[Boo Mario]] or [[Bee Mario]]. Boo Mario can float infinitely over the quicksand but must watch out for the spotlights as well as the other (seemingly female) Boos who will fall in love with him and follow him. Bee Mario will have an easier time avoiding the enemies, but cannot fly infinitely and must make landings on certain sections. Also, the Boos will go after Bee Mario faster. The Magikoopa will appear and shoot spells throughout the tunnel unless it is defeated.


Once Mario gets to the end of the Sinking Sand Planet, he will find a Sling Star that will take him to the spiral area. Mario must take the [[Rainbow Star]] to become invincible and destroy the [[Mine]]s. Mario must run along the spiral to the middle, where there is a moon planet. On top of this planet lies a [[Power Star]].

The Magikoopa in the beginning of the level will pursue Mario for most of the stage unless Mario obtains the Boo Suit or if it is defeated. If Mario obtains the Boo Suit, it will not appear after attacking at the start of the level.

The Sand Spiral Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. It is a short course set inside and around a large barrel with a rapid sand river, where Boos and bats act as the main enemies. A gimmick of this level is giving the player the choice to use either the Boo Mushroom or the Bee Mushroom to traverse its initial portion.

This galaxy is unlocked when Mario completes the mission Faster Than a Speeding Penguin in the Sea Slide Galaxy and Luigi and the Haunted Mansion in the Ghostly Galaxy, as the latter is supposed to introduce the Boo Mushroom. Once Mario does so, a Hungry Luma will appear behind the Engine Room, who transforms into the Sand Spiral Galaxy when fed 1000 Star Bits.

Planets/Areas[edit]

The titles of the following subsections are conjectural unless otherwise noted; an official name for each section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found for a given section, then that section should be changed to the new title.

Wrecked Airship Planet[edit]

The airship in the Sand Spiral Galaxy
The airship.

The front half of a damaged airship, which functions as the starting planet of the galaxy. At the end is a Launch Star that Mario can use to get to the Sinking Sand Planet. Scattered debris float nearby, and the damage where the missing half of the ship should be is depicted in detail, with jagged, protruding chunks of deck, wood, and some individual wooden beams. On the airship there is a Magikoopa that will retreat to the Sinking Sand Planet if not defeated.

Sinking Sand Planet[edit]

The sand river in the Sand Spiral Galaxy
The Sinking Sand Planet

This is a large planet with a barrel-like exterior and a tunnel made of brick inside, through which a river of quicksand flows. Mario must navigate through the obstacles (which include Water Shooters and spotlights) and avoid falling into the sand by either using the Bee Mushroom or the Boo Mushroom. The end of the tunnel marks a checkpoint, and a honeycomb wall panel appears here, as well as a Sling Star that launches the player onward.

Spiral Moon Planets[edit]

The Spiral Moon Planets.

This is a small glowing moon with a spiraling series of rocky platforms spinning around it. Mario must cross this spiral while avoiding Space Mines to reach the moon, where the Power Star is.

Mario can access this area in his bee form. If he reaches the area as Boo Mario, however, the power-up wears off. The Purple Toad explains that the moonlight is too bright.

Enemies[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • This is one of two Hungry Luma Galaxies whose unlock condition requires more than one mission to be completed beforehand, not counting missions in the Reactors. The other is the Boo's Boneyard Galaxy.
  • Near the entrance, a Red Toad is seen near the Boo Mushroom. The only Red Toad in the Toad Brigade is Captain Toad, who is always seen with his headlamp and backpack on. He still reacts in the same scared way Captain Toad would upon seeing either of Mario's powered-up forms, while other Toads in the area do not.
  • Like Sweet Sweet Galaxy, this galaxy can be accessed without using the pink Launch Star left behind by the Hungry Luma via an unintended interaction: after talking to the Hungry Luma to make the Launch Star appear, Flying Mario can be used to access the portal instead.[citation needed]
