'''Cosmic Clones''' are shadowy duplicates of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They copy Mario or Luigi's every move, even his death animation if he loses a life. They appear to be a successor to [[Cosmic Mario]]: They are strikingly similar to it, sharing the same voice as it, and their theme is the [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic Comet|Cosmic Comet]] theme from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' (a {{wp|semitone|half step}} higher pitch and an edited opening section, which in turn is a cover version of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] and [[Underground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The only difference is their color and the Cosmic Clones' glowing yellow eyes.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Cosmic Clones are created once a certain point is reached in a [[galaxy]] and follow behind Mario or Luigi, mimicking every movement he makes. [[Boards (characters)|Boards]] usually warn Mario and Luigi that Cosmic Clones are present in the area, although they also appear when a [[Prankster Comet#Clone Comet|Clone Comet]] orbits a galaxy.  
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Cosmic Clones are created once a certain point is reached in a [[galaxy]] and will follow behind Mario or [[Luigi]], performing every movement the plumbers make. [[Boards (Super Mario Galaxy)|Boards]] usually warn the plumbers that Cosmic Clones are present in the area, although they also appear when a [[Prankster Comet|Clone Comet]] orbits a galaxy.  


Cosmic Clones will mimic whatever Mario or Luigi does, even if the landscape has recently been changed. For example, they will still appear to jump on a platform even if the platform had disappeared after plumbers used it. If Mario or Luigi get hit by a clone, they receive damage and the clone vanishes, with the rest of the clones then mimicking the plumber taking damage. Once the way forward is revealed, the clones disappear screaming loudly for a few seconds and leaving behind three [[Star Bit]]s each.
Cosmic Clones mimic whatever Mario or Luigi does, even if the landscape has recently been changed. For example, they can [[jump]] on a [[platform]] where Mario or Luigi was standing, even if it has disappeared or moved. If Mario or Luigi gets hit by a clone, he receives damage and the clone vanishes, with the rest of the clones then mimicking the player character taking damage. Once the way forward is revealed, the clones scream, disappear, and release three [[Star Bit]]s each.


===''Super Mario 3D Land''===
The following table provides information on Cosmic Clones in each of their locations.
[[File:Cosmicmariosm3dl.png|150px|left|thumb|A Cosmic Clone in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
A Cosmic Clone appears only in the Special Worlds in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', and it resembles [[Small Mario]]. Regardless of which character encounters a Cosmic Clone, it will always have Mario's voice, and resembles Mario's body and hair more than Luigi's, suggesting that the Cosmic Clone is resembling Mario only. A big Cosmic Clone's voice is slower and has a lower pitch, and it is twice the size as its usual. It can also destroy [[Brick Block]]s upon contact. It functions identically to the clones in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', but it has a purple outline instead of a red one, and only one appears instead of a group. Mario or Luigi can destroy it by touching it while [[Star|invincible]]; normal-sized clones give three [[Coin|coins]] upon destruction, and large ones give ten. Upon reaching a certain area, the Cosmic Clone disappears. If the player leaves that area, the Cosmic Clone will appear again, even if it has been destroyed with a [[Star]].
 
===''Mario Party: Island Tour''===
Cosmic Clones return in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', under the reference to '''Bubble Clones'''. These look nothing like they do in the other two games. These will also not mimic Mario at all. These also appear as CPU's in the minigame [[Claiming the Cube]].

Cosmic Clones are shadowy duplicates of Mario or Luigi that first appeared in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They copy Mario or Luigi's every move, even his death animation if he loses a life. They appear to be a successor to Cosmic Mario: They are strikingly similar to it, sharing the same voice as it, and their theme is the Cosmic Comet theme from Super Mario Galaxy (a half step higher pitch and an edited opening section, which in turn is a cover version of the Ground Theme and Underground Theme from Super Mario Bros. The only difference is their color and the Cosmic Clones' glowing yellow eyes.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Cosmic Clones are created once a certain point is reached in a galaxy and follow behind Mario or Luigi, mimicking every movement he makes. Boards usually warn Mario and Luigi that Cosmic Clones are present in the area, although they also appear when a Clone Comet orbits a galaxy.

Cosmic Clones mimic whatever Mario or Luigi does, even if the landscape has recently been changed. For example, they can jump on a platform where Mario or Luigi was standing, even if it has disappeared or moved. If Mario or Luigi gets hit by a clone, he receives damage and the clone vanishes, with the rest of the clones then mimicking the player character taking damage. Once the way forward is revealed, the clones scream, disappear, and release three Star Bits each.

The following table provides information on Cosmic Clones in each of their locations.

Haunty Halls Galaxy Spooky Cosmic Clone Chase Disappearing Paths Planet Until Mario or Luigi shatters the crystal containing the Power Star.

Only the first clone uses voice clips when jumping. If the player is hurt by the first Cosmic Clone, the other ones only play sound effects.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

Screenshot from Super Mario 3D Land

Cosmic Clones appear in the Special Worlds of Super Mario 3D Land, where they resemble Small Mario. Regardless of which character encounters a Cosmic Clone, the clones always resemble Mario's appearance more than Luigi's. They act as they do in Super Mario Galaxy 2, but they have a purple outline instead of a red one, and only one appears instead of a group; this one does not vanish if Mario or Luigi touches it. Mario or Luigi can defeat the Cosmic Clones by touching them while invincible or by touching the level's Goal Pole; they give three coins upon defeat. Upon the player reaching a certain area (normally the level's halfway point), the Cosmic Clone disappears. If the player leaves that area, the Cosmic Clone appears again, even if it has been defeated with a Super Star.

This game also introduces Big Cosmic Clones, which have a slower and lower-pitched voice and are four times as big. They can also destroy Brick Blocks on contact, and they give ten coins when defeated.

The clones' theme music is the same as in Super Mario Galaxy 2, albeit with most of the fading cosmic synth pads removed.
