The '''Flipswitch Galaxy''' is a rather small [[galaxy]] having only one mission in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. The Galaxy is composed of 18 [[Flipswitch Panel]]s which [[Mario]] must step on. After all of them have been touched, a [[Power Star]] appears. The background is a scene from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', as shown in the pictures. Even though the level sounds simple, a [[Sentry Beam]] spawns out circle shaped lasers which can damage Mario. Some Flipswitch Panels are also covered with moving spiked platforms that can hurt Mario.

The Starting Planet is the largest planet in the Flipswitch Galaxy and the only accessible one.

These breakable block planets are seen when Mario is flying to the galaxy and can't be reached (except through hacking). They are made of bricks and look like the blocks in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' These blocks tie in with the scenery after Mario gets the star as the level's background becomes that of a ''Super Mario Bros.'' game.

In this level, Mario needs to step on every blue Flipswitch Panel so that they all wind up being yellow at the same time. There are also some spiked platforms Mario has to cross. Mario will automatically turn on one Flipswitch Panel upon landing on the planet. After turning all the Flipswitch Panels yellow, they will turn green and the Power Star will appear. Mario then has to use the spring-necked [[Sentry Beam]] on the top of the planet to reach the Power Star.

It is covered in Flipswitch Panels (18 of them exactly) and several hazards such as spiked platforms and electric rails. The platforms and electric rails move around the planet creating hazards for Mario to dodge as he goes through them.

Mario must flip all the Flipswitch Panels from blue to yellow and then, when they are all flipped, they will turn green. Once the Flipswitch Panels are green the laser-shooting Spring Vault will turn into a Trampoline and release a Power Star for Mario to get.
