'''Cosmic Mario''' is a character that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He is a galactic clone of [[Mario]] and thus copies his physical appearance, though he is colored blue with multiple stars and has a higher-pitched voice than his normal counterpart.

Cosmic Mario appears when a [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic Comet|Cosmic Comet]] is orbiting a [[galaxy]]. Upon the player entering, Cosmic Mario appears at the beginning of the [[mission]] and challenges the player to a race. In order to complete the mission, the player must reach the [[Power Star]] before Cosmic Mario does. If Cosmic Mario reaches the Power Star first, the player loses a life and must restart the race.

'''Cosmic Mario''' is a character in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He appears as a starry clone of [[Mario]], similar in appearance to [[Shadow Mario]]. When a [[Cosmic Comet]] is a galaxy, Cosmic Mario will appear from it and challenge Mario to a race. Mario then has to get through numerous obstacles against Cosmic Mario to get the [[Power Star]].  
[[Luigi]] also has a cosmic clone, '''Cosmic Luigi''', who replaces Cosmic Mario if the player is playing as Luigi. Unlike Cosmic Mario, Cosmic Luigi takes advantage of shortcuts more often and uses a large number of [[Long Jump|long jump]]s, making him more difficult to beat.


If the player is playing as [[Luigi]], Cosmic Luigi will appear in place of Cosmic Mario. Cosmic Luigi is far more intelligent, making use of short cuts and many long jumps. As a result, he is much faster than Cosmic Mario. This is done to add some extra challenge when playing as Luigi.

*Cosmic Mario's appearance is similar to Shadow Mario, a disguise of [[Bowser Jr.]] which he created with the [[Magic Paintbrush]]. However, the Magic Paintbrush was found by the runner [[Il Piantissimo]] on the beach in the ending of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and he could have used the Paintbrush to become Cosmic Mario.

Cosmic Mario is a character that appears in Super Mario Galaxy. He is a galactic clone of Mario and thus copies his physical appearance, though he is colored blue with multiple stars and has a higher-pitched voice than his normal counterpart.

Cosmic Mario appears when a Cosmic Comet is orbiting a galaxy. Upon the player entering, Cosmic Mario appears at the beginning of the mission and challenges the player to a race. In order to complete the mission, the player must reach the Power Star before Cosmic Mario does. If Cosmic Mario reaches the Power Star first, the player loses a life and must restart the race. Colliding with Cosmic Mario during the race causes him to release Star Bits.

Luigi also has a cosmic clone, Cosmic Luigi, who replaces Cosmic Mario if the player is playing as Luigi. Unlike Cosmic Mario, Cosmic Luigi takes advantage of shortcuts more often and uses a large number of long jumps, making him more difficult to beat.

At the start of a race, if the player holds Nunchuk Control Stick up, then Nunchuk Z Button when the timer reaches "2," and then hits A Button just as the race starts, Mario or Luigi gets a Start Dash, shown by a yellow color appearing on Mario or Luigi, shrinking gradually as a marker at the end of this effect.
