The '''Dusty Dune Galaxy''' (also called '''Dusty Desert'''<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=193|date=November 9, 2007|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-7615-5643-5}}</ref>) is a galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', accessed via the [[Bedroom (Super Mario Galaxy)|Bedroom]]. As a desert-themed location, it mostly consists of planets covered in yellow sand and quicksand, as well as references to stereotypical desert sights such as cacti and Egyptian pyramid-shaped planets and [[tornado]]es. Also owning to its theme, the main enemies found in Dusty Dune Galaxy are [[Dry Bones]] and [[Bone Twister]]s.


The '''Dusty Dune Galaxy''' is a galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It has many enemies, including various [[Pokeys]], [[Tweester]]s, [[Bomb Chickens]], and [[Dry Bones]], as well as many floating sand structures. It can be compared to [[Shifting Sand Land]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
This galaxy is tied with the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] for the most number of Power Stars in the game, with a total of seven.
==Levels==
===Soaring on the Desert Winds===
===Blasting Through the Sand===
===Sunbaked Sand Castle===
===Sandblast Speed Run===
In this level, the player must complete Blasting through the sand mission in 4:30.
There are no tornadoes or enemies, so all the player has to do is avoid the sand.


===Purple Coins in the Desert===
Along with the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]], this is the only galaxy to play the Speedy/Daredevil Comet theme in a non-comet mission.
100 coins are on the instant death sand disc. Some are in the air so the player has to use the tornadoes.
The player is not timed on this misson.


===Bullet Bill On Your Back===
==Planets/Areas==
The player has to do the "Sunbaked Sand Castle" level as normal, until the player gets to the sand tide planet. Mario will have to find a log and ground pound it, causing a trail of musical notes to appear. Mario needs to collect all the music  to make apear, which will take Mario to a planet with a [[Bill Blaster]] and two switches. Mario will need to ground pound the blue switch and, at the same time, lure a [[Bullet Bill]] into any one of the cages that have risen out of the sand. The cages contain the [[Power Star]], a [[Rainbow Star]], and some [[Star Bits]]. Also on the planet, there are many [[Dry Bones]], which the player and the Bullet Bill will have to dodge to get to the star.
===Starting Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Sand Tower.png|left|thumb|200px|The tower on the planet.]]
[[File:SMG Welcome to Dusty Dune.png|200px|thumb|The {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}]]
This is a very large quicksand planet with several pyramids, stone platforms, many tornadoes, and a few huge dark sand pits. On one side of the planet, there is a very tall tower with a waterfall of sand pouring down the side. Mario must scale this tower to get to the [[Power Star]] for the mission [[Soaring on the Desert Winds]]. There is also an underground tunnel with [[Piranha Plant]]s that are hanging upside down, [[Thwomp]]s, currents of sand that can force the player back, and a large boulder that can be destroyed by [[Fire Mario]]. This tunnel is the only way between the beginning and the tower. It is possible to defeat the Piranha Plants that are hanging upside down by stepping on them. This can be done by jumping and aiming carefully for their necks.


===Treasure of the Pyramid===
===Ring Planet===
This Hidden [[Star]] is in ''Blasting Through the Sand''. Go through the level until you reach the platform near the [[Boulder]]s, then feed a [[Hungry Luma]] 20 Star Bits to create a [[Launch Star]]. Once you are in the planet collect 5 [[Silver Stars]] to get the [[Green Power Star]].
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Dusty Dune Boulder Ring.png|200px|thumb|The {{conjectural|Ring Planet|planet}}]]
This planet is a small stone ring surrounded by four small platforms. Four [[boulder]]s can be found rolling around the ring. On the underside of the largest platform is a [[Hungry Luma]] and a few [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s with [[Coin]]s and [[Star Bit]]s. A [[Rainbow Star]] can be found on the underside of the middle platform, and a [[Life Mushroom]] can be found on the underside of a smaller platform. If the Hungry Luma is fed, it will transform into the Pyramid Planet.

These three stone planets each consist of stone boulders connected by fast sand currents that move [[Mario]] when he stands in them. The first planet is shaped like a slightly curved tube, the second is a ring, and the third is a sphere. On the second planet, there are five blue [[Star Chip]]s that Mario must collect in order to progress. There is a [[Warp Pipe]] on the surface of the third planet that leads to the interior and a shortcut to the Maze Planet.

[[Category: Deserts and Tundras]]
This planet is a disk of quicksand with a two-sided maze. One side is tan and the other is gray. This planet features tornadoes, Dry Bones, a Thwomp, and a reversible tower that must be used for the mission [[Blasting through the Sand]] and its Speed Run. This is also the planet on which the mission [[Purple Coins in the Desert]] takes place. [[Captain Toad]] and the [[Toad Brigade]] can be found scattered around this planet during the purple coin mission.
 
===Disk Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Dusty Dune Disks.png|thumb|200px|The {{conjectural|Disk Planets|planets}}.]]
There are two disk planets. One has a rising and sinking tower on one side and a sinking glass tower on the other side. The other disk has a rising and sinking tower with a [[Bullet Bill]] blaster on one side while the other side is barren with falling blocks.
 
===Sand Tide Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Sand Tide Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario on the {{conjectural|Sand Tide Planet|planet}}.]]
This planet is a small planet with several cones on it. The planet also expands and shrinks slowly. This planet has many [[Crabber]]s, a [[giant prickly plant]], and several [[coconut]]s. A stump with three coins above it is revealed when the sand lowers. There is another stump on this planet that when pounded, will cause music notes to appear. If all the music notes are collected, a [[Sling Star]] will appear taking the player to one of the disk planets. This is necessary to complete to get the hidden star, [[Bullet Bill on Your Back]].
 
===Pokey Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Pokey Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|{{conjectural|Pokey Planets|planets}}.]]
These are two small planets with a [[Big Pokey|Pokeynut]] on the northern one and tons of [[coconut]]s on the southern one. The player needs to defeat the Pokeynut by spinning to throw the coconuts found on the planet. Then, a [[Launch Star]] will appear, taking Mario to the next planet.
 
===Pyramid Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Double Pyramid.png|200px|thumb|The accessible {{conjectural|Pyramid Planet|planet}}.]]
There are two double-sided pyramid planets. One is not accessible and not solid, while the other is after Mario feeds a [[Hungry Luma]] with twenty [[Star Bit]]s. On the inside of the accessible side lies a maze of rising and falling sand that Mario can access when he enters a [[Warp Pipe]] (although it'll close once Mario makes his way inside, trapping him in there until the mission is completed). Here, Mario must find five [[Silver Star]]s, which will make a [[Green Star]] appear. This planet can only be accessed after feeding the Hungry Luma. The player can raise or lower the sand by stepping on some green platforms found in the area. The player must collect all the Silver Stars without being crushed. Once all the Silver Stars are collected, most of the sand will drain out of the pyramid, and the Green Star will reveal itself.

The Dusty Dune Galaxy (also called Dusty Desert[1]) is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, accessed via the Bedroom. As a desert-themed location, it mostly consists of planets covered in yellow sand and quicksand, as well as references to stereotypical desert sights such as cacti and Egyptian pyramid-shaped planets and tornadoes. Also owning to its theme, the main enemies found in Dusty Dune Galaxy are Dry Bones and Bone Twisters.

This galaxy is tied with the Battlerock Galaxy for the most number of Power Stars in the game, with a total of seven.

Along with the Melty Molten Galaxy, this is the only galaxy to play the Speedy/Daredevil Comet theme in a non-comet mission.

Planets/Areas[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.

The sand tower in the Dusty Dune Galaxy
The tower on the planet.
Dusty Dune Galaxy
The Starting Planet

This is a very large quicksand planet with several pyramids, stone platforms, many tornadoes, and a few huge dark sand pits. On one side of the planet, there is a very tall tower with a waterfall of sand pouring down the side. Mario must scale this tower to get to the Power Star for the mission Soaring on the Desert Winds. There is also an underground tunnel with Piranha Plants that are hanging upside down, Thwomps, currents of sand that can force the player back, and a large boulder that can be destroyed by Fire Mario. This tunnel is the only way between the beginning and the tower. It is possible to defeat the Piranha Plants that are hanging upside down by stepping on them. This can be done by jumping and aiming carefully for their necks.

Ring Planet[edit]

Dusty Dune Galaxy
The Ring Planet

This planet is a small stone ring surrounded by four small platforms. Four boulders can be found rolling around the ring. On the underside of the largest platform is a Hungry Luma and a few Crystals with Coins and Star Bits. A Rainbow Star can be found on the underside of the middle platform, and a Life Mushroom can be found on the underside of a smaller platform. If the Hungry Luma is fed, it will transform into the Pyramid Planet.

Speedy Sand Planets[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.

The Maze Planet.
The Maze Planet.

This planet is a disk of quicksand with a two-sided maze. One side is tan and the other is gray. This planet features tornadoes, Dry Bones, a Thwomp, and a reversible tower that must be used for the mission Blasting through the Sand and its Speed Run. This is also the planet on which the mission Purple Coins in the Desert takes place. Captain Toad and the Toad Brigade can be found scattered around this planet during the purple coin mission.

Disk Planets[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.

Dusty Dune Disk Planets. This was the best angle I could get of both planets.
The Disk Planets.

There are two disk planets. One has a rising and sinking tower on one side and a sinking glass tower on the other side. The other disk has a rising and sinking tower with a Bullet Bill blaster on one side while the other side is barren with falling blocks.

Sand Tide 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.

A Planet in Dusty Dune Galaxy.
Mario on the Sand Tide Planet.

This planet is a small planet with several cones on it. The planet also expands and shrinks slowly. This planet has many Crabbers, a giant prickly plant, and several coconuts. A stump with three coins above it is revealed when the sand lowers. There is another stump on this planet that when pounded, will cause music notes to appear. If all the music notes are collected, a Sling Star will appear taking the player to one of the disk planets. This is necessary to complete to get the hidden star, Bullet Bill on Your Back.

Pokey Planets[edit]

Pokey Planet from Dusty Dune Galaxy
Pokey Planets.

These are two small planets with a Pokeynut on the northern one and tons of coconuts on the southern one. The player needs to defeat the Pokeynut by spinning to throw the coconuts found on the planet. Then, a Launch Star will appear, taking Mario to the next planet.

Pyramid Planets[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.

Double Pyramid Planet in Dusty Dune Galaxy.
The accessible Pyramid Planet.

There are two double-sided pyramid planets. One is not accessible and not solid, while the other is after Mario feeds a Hungry Luma with twenty Star Bits. On the inside of the accessible side lies a maze of rising and falling sand that Mario can access when he enters a Warp Pipe (although it'll close once Mario makes his way inside, trapping him in there until the mission is completed). Here, Mario must find five Silver Stars, which will make a Green Star appear. This planet can only be accessed after feeding the Hungry Luma. The player can raise or lower the sand by stepping on some green platforms found in the area. The player must collect all the Silver Stars without being crushed. Once all the Silver Stars are collected, most of the sand will drain out of the pyramid, and the Green Star will reveal itself.

Cacti Planets[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.

Six Cacti Planets

There are large cacti that can be seen, but are not solid or accessible.
