A fairly small planet with a sand current that is going against the player. At the first part, there are a few shifting blocks that will push the player off the planet. Many [[Pokey Head]]s appear on this planet. At the second area, it is an S-shaped stream with three [[Cluckboom]]s flying over it. The [[Comet Medal]] can be found in this area. There is a [[Fire Flower]], even more Pokey Heads, and more shifting blocks in the next area. There is a [[Midway Point]] and a [[Launch Star]] that takes the player to the Sand Slide Planet at the top. There is also a [[Fire Flower]] that can be used to light two urns on the Sandy Waterfall Planet, but it's optional because lighting the urns just gives out a [[1-Up Mushroom]].

{{conjecture|section=yes}}
The planet is basically one long sand stream coming out of the pyramid. The player must slide down the stream to the end while avoiding the [[Rhomp]]s that appear halfway. It gets narrower towards the end of the stream. At the bottom of the slide is a small area with [[Lumalee]], a [[Midway Point]], and the [[Launch Star]] that takes the player to the [[#Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole|Sinkhole Planet]].

Players will land on the [[#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]], but this time the sand current is going against them. They have to use the platforms to get to the nearby [[Warp Pipe]]. In the underground, the gravity changes depending on the players' movement. They should find a way to get to the orange Warp Pipe to go back up while avoiding the [[Firebar]]s. They should then take the [[Launch Star]] to the [[#Sandy Sea Planet|Sandy Sea Planet]].
 
On this planet, players must ride the [[Sand Sailer]] through the whole level. The ship goes slow, but generally increases in speed as the [[Power Star]] gets closer. Cacti and [[Magikoopa]]s will try to hinder the players' progress. At the end of the sea, a [[Silver Chomp]] will try to knock players' into the quicksand. Players should strategically avoid the Chomp as it homes in on them. The [[Power Star]] will be in reach after the ordeal.

Slipsand Galaxy is a galaxy in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2, located in World 5. The level is desert-themed and features desert objects such as cacti. Sand Rivers and fireballs are the main obstacles in the level. A pyramid can be seen in the background, but serves no special purpose. Dry Bones, Magikoopas and Pokey Heads are common enemies in this galaxy. The Fire Flower reappears in this galaxy and is used in the boss battle against Squizzard. At one point, Mario needs to avoid some Rhomps while sliding down sand.

Planets[edit]

Starting Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Mario on the Starting Planet.

This is a long, tubular planet with a fast sand current. During the Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole mission, the current is going with the player. Many fireballs circle the planet and many prickly plants serve as an impediment during the mission. The Launch Star takes the player to the Sandy Waterfall Planet. During the Sailing the Sandy Seas mission, the current is going against Mario. Luckily, there are platforms to allow the player to reach the Warp Pipe on the other side. If the player goes all the way to the very end in this mission, where the Launch Star was in the last mission, they find three 1-Up Mushrooms. The player must rapidly jump and spin to do this.[1] The Launch Star takes Mario to the Sandy Sea Planet during the mission. There is also an underground section with Fire Bars and gravity.

Sandy Fall Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Mario approaching the Sandy Fall Planet.

This is a fairly small square planet with a sand current that is going against the player. At the first part, there are a few shifting blocks that push the player off the planet. Many Pokey Heads appear on this planet. At the second area, it is an S-shaped stream with three Cluckbooms flying over it. The Comet Medal can be found in this area. There is a Fire Flower, even more Pokey Heads, and more shifting blocks in the next area. There is a Checkpoint Flag and a Launch Star that takes the player to the Sand Slide Planet at the top. There is also a Fire Flower that can be used to light two urns on the Sandy Waterfall Planet, but it's optional because lighting the urns just gives out a 1-Up Mushroom. There is a Black hole in the middle of the planet.

Sand Slide Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Mario on the Sand Slide Planet.
The end of the sand slide in the Slipsand Galaxy
Luigi at the end of the slide.

The planet is basically one long sand stream coming out of the pyramid. The player must slide down the stream to the end while avoiding the Rhomps that appear halfway. It gets narrower towards the end of the stream. At the bottom of the slide is a small area with Lumalee, a Checkpoint Flag, and the Launch Star that takes the player to the Sinkhole Planet.

Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole[edit]

Mario on Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole.

The planet is a bowl-shaped planet filled with sand. The sand moves at a fast current towards the middle where Squizzard lies. The arena is fenced up and there are some rocks here that can serve as platforms. Two Fire Flowers appear here. When Squizzard is defeated, the sand stops flowing.

Zero Gravity Room Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Mario at the Zero Gravity Room Planet.

This planet appears during the second mission, manifesting as a room of stone bricks where the gravity changes to accomodate when Mario walks on a curved surface.

Sandy Sea Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Mario approaching the Sandy Sea Planet.

This planet is only traveled to during the Sailing the Sandy Seas mission. It is a vast, wide open area filled with lethal Quicksand. The player needs to ride the Sand Bird on this planet to avoid falling into the quicksand. Many cacti are found here, which destroy parts of the ship, although the ship quickly regenerates any lost parts. Magikoopas and a single Homing Chomp are found on this planet as well. The Power Star is found at the end of the planet.

Prima Official Game Guide description[edit]

  • "The parched Slipsand Galaxy is a dangerous desert loaded with challenges like a giant sand slide and rolling Rhomps. Things get even trickier when you travel to a great expanse of the desert and must ride on the back of a bird that can disappear when it hazards...too bad you don't have the same skill."
