'''The Fate of the Universe''' is the only mission of [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], and is the final mission of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', excluding [[The Star Festival]]. The mission's objective is to defeat [[Bowser]] for the final time and collect the last [[Grand Star]].
==Layout==
[[Mario]] begins on a planet with stone walls and spotlights that determine the direction of gravity; the area a spotlight is shining on is gravitized, allowing Mario to walk on the walls. The player must cross the walls using the spotlight while avoiding [[Dry Bones]] and [[Fire Bar]]s to reach a vortex that will bring the player to a lava filled planet with many sinking and moving platforms. A vortex at the end of the area will bring the player to an ice planet. As the player moves along, ice platforms will form in front of them, creating a path in the same manner as [[cosmic block]]s. The vortex at the end of the ice planet will take the player to a sand planet where the player has to dodge tall Fire Bars on moving platforms to reach the vortex at the end. Next is a two-dimensional platforming challenge involving cosmic blocks. The player must [[Wall Jump]] and avoid Fire Bars while also navigating a gravity chamber at the end to reach the next vortex. The final vortex will take the player to a large lava-filled tube planet with many [[Thwomp]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s, and [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s, as well as sinking and moving platforms. The [[Launch Star]] at the end will send the player to a stairway where a cutscene with Bowser and [[Bowser Jr.]] will begin. As Mario makes his way up the stairs, Bowser Jr. will send out [[meteor]]s to destroy the stairs, similar to the stairway in [[Bowser's Star Reactor]]. Reaching Bowser will begin a dialogue in which he announces his plan to create a new universe in his own image, with [[Princess Peach]] by his side. He then pulls Mario and himself to a small grey planet, initiating the final boss battle.
===Bowser Battle===
Bowser will begin the fight using his signature ground pounding attack to send shockwaves at Mario. He will then curl up into a boulder and attempt to roll over Mario. Mario must [[spin]] attack Bowser's head to knock him out of the boulder and send him sliding around the planet. Once he is spun again, Bowser will release some [[Star Bit]]s and the process to damage him must be repeated, though he will have to be spun twice after he is knocked out of the boulder.
 
In the second phase, Mario and Bowser are gravitated to another planet covered with spiky plants and [[rubbery bulb]]s. After breathing a few fireballs and ground pounding, Bowser will curl into his shell and roll after Mario. He must be hit with a rubbery bulb to stun him and send him sliding around. When he is spun again, the process must be repeated. Alternatively, if Bowser is standing next to a rubbery bulb during his initial attacks, Mario can stun him without having to deal with the shell attack. As before, Bowser must be spun twice after being stunned to move on to the final phase.

[[File:FinalReactor.png|thumb|The final battle with Bowser.]]
[[Mario]] has to venture through this galaxy until he encounters [[Bowser]]. Mario starts on a small, rocky area resembling part of a castle wall. When Mario uses gravity spotlights, he will climb the walls and arrive at a tower being guarded by [[Dry Bones]]. At the top, a large Gravity Spotlight sends Mario across to the Lava Planet. He must cross this by utilizing cooled lava sections moving in the opposite direction to him and sinking platforms. A second large spotlight carries Mario to the Ice Planet at the end of the pathway. The surface of the Ice Planet and the Lava Planet both cause one piece of HP loss for Mario if he touches it. The Ice Planet's pathway is formed by Ice Blocks that shoot in from space, but these vanish after a few seconds. The third planet, reached by another spotlight, is made of quicksand, which is fatal if Mario touches it. The planet is traversed by narrow platforms which move across the planet against Mario and dip beneath the planets surface. There are also Firebars in the way. Another spotlight takes Mario into a Space Junkyard where platforms shoot in to form a path and shortly vanish, similar to the ice planet. However, gravity arrows and Firebars provide tough-to-navigate obstacles. At the end of the pathway, a gravity spotlight allows access to the Castle Tower, a hollow, cylindrical planet made entirely of lava, stone and metal. Bullet Bills, Thwomps, Banzai Bills, and the platforms of the area all create a treacherous terrain for Mario. At the end, a [[Launch Star]] will take Mario to Bowser's Final Stand.
The third phase is similar to the previous battles with Bowser. Bowser will attack by sending out several shockwaves, firing fireballs, or by curling up into his shell and attempt to roll over the player. After the shell attack, Bowser will attempt to ground pound Mario. If Mario is standing on a blue orb, Bowser will shatter it upon landing, burning his tail, and will begin running around the planet. Spinning Bowser will send him spinning around the planet, and spinning into him again will damage him. Repeating the process and damaging Bowser a second time will defeat him, and reward the player with the final Grand Star.

[[Bowser Jr.]] appears on his airship at the bottom of the staircase leading to Bowser with [[Princess Peach]] on board. He taunts Mario, then flies behind Bowser and begins shooting down the staircase with meteors. Along the way is a [[1-Up Mushroom]] and a [[Life Shroom]], but grabbing them takes up valuable time. After Bowser explains his plan, the gravity of a nearby metallic planetoid attracts him and Mario. He transforms into a boulder with his head sticking out of the top. If his head is hit by a Thorny Flower or Mario's spin attack, he will fall out of the boulder, and must be hit again to take damage. When he is hit for a second time, he and Mario will fly to another planetoid. Here, Bowser shoots fireballs which can be blocked by Stretch Plants, and transforms into a ball made of two of his shells. He then rolls around the planet. Mario must [[Star Spin]] into sling plants to knock Bowser onto his back, and then use his Star Spin attack on him. After Mario does this twice, he and Bowser will fall towards a giant sun, one of the biggest planets in the game. It is hollow with holes and the two combatants will fall through one of these to land on the reactor at the center.

[[File:FinalReactor.png|200px|thumb|right|Mario fights Bowser on the Galaxy Reactor.]]
==Planets visited==
Here, Mario fights Bowser in a similar way to how he does in [[Bowser's Star Reactor]] and [[Bowser's Dark Matter Plant]] where they are located on a reactor planetoid that resembles a ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' ball, except for the fact that Bowser has the attack he used on the second planetoid, which Mario can only avoid. After hitting Bowser twice, Bowser will fall out of the reactor's gravity field and into the Sun. A Grand Star will then be revealed from inside the reactor, which Mario must obtain. As Mario flies away with the Grand Star, Bowser Jr.'s airship plummets towards the Sun, but Mario rescues Princess Peach and flies her to the area where he first entered the Galaxy. It is then revealed that Bowser has survived his fall into the gigantic Sun, but is stranded on the second planetoid upon which he fought with Mario, on a rocky platform which was sinking into the planet. As its gravity and mass increase, the planet sucks in more and more rocks from around it, then collapses under its own weight, becoming a giant [[Black Hole]]<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3I_wnZvvFU YouTube - Final Boss + ending : Super Mario Galaxy]</ref>. It begins to suck up everything around it including Mario, Peach, Bowser's Airship Fleet, [[Peach's Castle]], and the [[Comet Observatory]]. It would appear that everything is lost until Mario's Luma pops out, waves its arm and zooms toward the Black Hole. It is soon joined by all of the other Lumas. The Lumas twist the Black Hole into oblivion, but they appear to be destroyed in the process.

Bowser Jr., Super Mario Galaxy

The Fate of the Universe is the only mission of Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, and is the final mission of Super Mario Galaxy, excluding The Star Festival. The mission's objective is to defeat Bowser for the final time and collect the last Grand Star.

Layout[edit]

Mario begins on a planet with stone walls and spotlights that determine the direction of gravity; the area a spotlight is shining on is gravitized, allowing Mario to walk on the walls. The player must cross the walls using the spotlight while avoiding Dry Bones and Fire Bars to reach a vortex that will bring the player to a lava filled planet with many sinking and moving platforms. A vortex at the end of the area will bring the player to an ice planet. As the player moves along, ice platforms will form in front of them, creating a path in the same manner as cosmic blocks. The vortex at the end of the ice planet will take the player to a sand planet where the player has to dodge tall Fire Bars on moving platforms to reach the vortex at the end. Next is a two-dimensional platforming challenge involving cosmic blocks. The player must Wall Jump and avoid Fire Bars while also navigating a gravity chamber at the end to reach the next vortex. The final vortex will take the player to a large lava-filled tube planet with many Thwomps, Bullet Bills, and Banzai Bills, as well as sinking and moving platforms. The Launch Star at the end will send the player to a stairway where a cutscene with Bowser and Bowser Jr. will begin. As Mario makes his way up the stairs, Bowser Jr. will send out meteors to destroy the stairs, similar to the stairway in Bowser's Star Reactor. Reaching Bowser will begin a dialogue in which he announces his plan to create a new universe in his own image, with Princess Peach by his side. He then pulls Mario and himself to a small grey planet, initiating the final boss battle.

Bowser Battle[edit]

Bowser will begin the fight using his signature ground pounding attack to send shockwaves at Mario. He will then curl up into a boulder and attempt to roll over Mario. Mario must spin attack Bowser's head to knock him out of the boulder and send him sliding around the planet. Once he is spun again, Bowser will release some Star Bits and the process to damage him must be repeated, though he will have to be spun twice after he is knocked out of the boulder.

In the second phase, Mario and Bowser are gravitated to another planet covered with spiky plants and rubbery bulbs. After breathing a few fireballs and ground pounding, Bowser will curl into his shell and roll after Mario. He must be hit with a rubbery bulb to stun him and send him sliding around. When he is spun again, the process must be repeated. Alternatively, if Bowser is standing next to a rubbery bulb during his initial attacks, Mario can stun him without having to deal with the shell attack. As before, Bowser must be spun twice after being stunned to move on to the final phase.

The final battle with Bowser.

The third phase is similar to the previous battles with Bowser. Bowser will attack by sending out several shockwaves, firing fireballs, or by curling up into his shell and attempt to roll over the player. After the shell attack, Bowser will attempt to ground pound Mario. If Mario is standing on a blue orb, Bowser will shatter it upon landing, burning his tail, and will begin running around the planet. Spinning Bowser will send him spinning around the planet, and spinning into him again will damage him. Repeating the process and damaging Bowser a second time will defeat him, and reward the player with the final Grand Star.
