The '''Gusty Garden Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It features many grassy planetoids scattered throughout the galaxy. The player can travel to many of them by grabbing onto a flower and [[Star Spin]]ning to fly across the galaxy. There are also planets resembling apples in this galaxy. The boss of the galaxy is [[Major Burrows]].

The '''Gusty Garden Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] from the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' that is located in the [[Bedroom (Super Mario Galaxy)|Bedroom]]. It features many grass and plant themed planetoids scattered throughout the galaxy. Many of them can only be reached by grabbing onto a [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]] and [[spin]]ning to glide on gusts of wind from one planet to the next. The sky in the Gusty Garden Galaxy is perpetually swirling with a light gray foggy hue. The boss of this galaxy is a mole named [[Major Burrows]].
==Planets/Areas==
===Starting Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Welcome to Gusty Garden.png|200px|thumb|Mario on the {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}.]]
This is a relatively small planet with two sides. On the top of the planet, there's nothing more than some [[Flower (Super Mario series)|flowers]], a few [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s, two [[Star Bunny|Star Bunnies]], and some [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]]. On the bottom of the planet, which is completely covered in dirt, there are only some [[Goomba]]s that appear when [[Ground Pound]]ing [[stump]]s (or [[Tracks (enemy)|Tracks]] during later missions), rocks and [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s. This is the first planet that [[Mario]] lands on in every mission except the [[Prankster Comet]] missions. A powerful gust of wind spirals from this planet to the next planet.

*[[Moneybag]]s  
[[File:SMG Stone Pieces Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario on the {{conjectural|Stone Pieces Planet|planet}}.]]
*[[Piranha Plant]]s
This planet looks a little like the Starting Planet, though it features several pieces of stone architecture embedded in the ground, including a stone pillar, stone steps, and a stone pedestal. The top of the planet has flowers and more [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]]. It also has a [[Warp Pipe]] on the underside that leads to the inside of the planet, as well as a [[? Coin]] that makes several rings of [[Star Bit]]s appear between this planet and the next. [[Mario]] can collect these with the [[Star Pointer]] when standing on the planet or use a Floaty Fluff and ride on the wind in order to get closer to them (or fly through them). Later in the game, the inside of the planet will be filled with many [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s and another ? Coin, which will make a [[Rainbow Star]] appear. A single [[Piranha Plant]] also awaits on the top of the planet, and will yield a [[coin]] when defeated.

==Levels==
===Bean Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Pear Planets.png|thumb|200px|A few of the {{conjectural|Bean Planets|planets}} in the Gusty Garden Galaxy.]]
There are several oddly-shaped planetoids in the Gusty Garden Galaxy which look a lot like beans. These planets are pretty small and slightly resemble a few of the planets from the [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. They each have relatively different sizes but basically the same form overall. Most of them are inhabited only by [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Monty]]s and [[Flipbug]]s. They are so small and closely positioned together that [[Mario]] is able to travel between them using nothing other than [[Sproutle Vine]]s. On many of the planets, Sproutle Vines will already be out in the open. In that case, all Mario has to do is [[spin]] to make it appear. However, more often than not, he will have to defeat at least one Piranha Plant in order to make a Sproutle Vine appear. On the final Bean Planet, a [[Spiny Piranha Plant]] awaits. After it is defeated, the [[Launch Star]] to the next planet will appear. There is also a hidden path among these planets, which is accessed by means of a Sproutle Vine on the underside of one of the planets. It will allow Mario to circumvent one of the planets that has a Spiny Piranha Plant on it, but will ultimately lead him back to the same planet that he would have ended up on regardless.
{{br}}


===Bunnies in the Wind===
===Curve Planet===
[[Mario]] must traverse through the galaxy until he gets to a cube shaped planet. There, Mario must catch a [[Space Rabbit]] that has a [[Power Star]].
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Curve Planet.png|left|thumb|200px|Mario encountering some Piranha Plants on the {{conjectural|Curve Planet|planet}}.]]
This relatively simple planet is shaped like a curve twisting to the left. On the top of the planet are [[Flower (Super Mario series)|flowers]], another stone pedestal, and of course, more [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]], which [[Mario]] must use to get to the next planet. Unlike most planets, the underside of this planet is partly covered in grass in addition to the top side. There are not many enemies or obstacles here, only a few [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Flipbug]]s, and the occasional [[Monty]]. A hidden [[Sproutle Vine]] on this planet will reward Mario with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] if he follows it to the end.
{{br}}


===The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows===
===Puzzle Cube===
Mario must travel around the galaxy until the player reaches the planet where [[Major Burrows]] is chasing a Star Bunny. The player has to [[Ground Pound]] and [[Star Spin]] to attack him. Then the fight will officially start. Mario must do the same tactic to him two more times to defeat him.

As its name implies, this planet is shaped like a gigantic cube. The "puzzle" part comes into play as a result of the many hedges that are present on this planet, many of which have been trimmed in such a way that they form a maze in some areas of the planet. There are different obstacles on each side of the Puzzle Cube, and a [[Water spout|fountain]] on the side that [[Mario]] lands on when he touches down here. There is also a small cylindrical underground tunnel running straight through the center of the planet which holds a few prizes, including [[Star Bit]]s and a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. When Mario first lands here, he must successfully chase and catch a playful [[Star Bunny]] to get the [[Power Star]]. He later returns here when a [[Purple Comet]] is in orbit, where he must collect at least 100 [[Purple Coin]]s within a certain time limit in order to get the Power Star.
{{br}}


===Gusty Garden's Gravity Scramble===
===Question Mark Planets===
First, the player needs to float to a planet with a Rocky Wrench. The player has to use the 3 floats to get to the planet.  
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:QuestionMarkPlanets.png|thumb|left|The top and bottom planets that collectively comprise the {{conjectural|Question Mark Planets|planet}}.]]
[[File:GustyGardenTradingCard.png|thumb|150px|The Question Mark Planet as seen on a ''Super Mario Galaxy'' trading card.]]
These two planets are collectively referred to as the Question Mark Planets, as they clearly resemble their titular punctuation mark. In the second level in the Gusty Garden Galaxy, [[Mario]] uses a [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]] to glide to the bottom planet first, and then uses a [[Sling Star]] to reach the top planet. The first planet contains only some [[Flower (Super Mario series)|flowers]] and an [[Undergrunt]], which Mario must defeat to progress. This planet acts as the "dot" of the question mark, while the second planet is much bigger and consists of the main body of the question mark. The top planet is infested with three Undergrunts which Mario has to defeat to make the [[Launch Star]] to the next planet appear.
====''Super Mario Galaxy'' trading card description====
''Landing here from the previous grassy planet turned dirtpath central, Mario finds more of the same on this question-mark-shaped planetoid. Mario must rid the planet of three moles by ground-pounding the dirt to bring them to the surface and then Star-Spinning them out into the cosmos.''
{{br}}


Then the player needs to go up a couple of vines to a Launch Star that leads Mario to a planet shaped like a giant catterpillar.  
===Hedge Ring Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Hedge Ring Planet.png|200px|thumb|Mario flying toward the {{conjectural|Hedge Ring Planet|planet}}.]]
This planet is optional, and is fairly easy to miss if the player is not careful. Normally, the [[Launch Star]] from the previous planet will just shoot [[Mario]] straight through this planet to the next planet. Therefore, [[Mario]] can only visit this planet if he quickly activates one of the five [[Pull Star]]s positioned around the inner ring of the planet. After he is pulled to the planet, he will find many [[? Coin]]s which will make multiple [[Star Bit]]s appear around the planet. However, he must be cautious when attempting to collect them, as the planet is surrounded by large spiky vines, forcing Mario to follow a designated path around various parts of the planet. When he reaches the "end" of the planet, another Launch Star will take him to the next planet.
{{br}}


The player has to navigate along the planet to another Launch Star which takes Mario to an area with rotating discs. Mario has to go to the underside of the first disc and get the 1st Star Piece, next Mario has to Star Spin on the blue screw. Then the player has to climb the pole and jump to the next discs. Once Mario obtained all of the Star Pieces, the Launch Star appears on the Green Disc.
===Apple Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Apple_planets.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario running around the {{conjectural|Apple Planets|planets}}.]]
These planets consist of nothing more than three huge apples that get increasingly larger as [[Mario]] progresses. The end two apples are red and the apple in the middle is green. On the planets are multiple wooden pegs which can be [[Ground Pound]]ed to release anything from [[Star Bit]]s to [[Flipbug]]s. These planets are also inhabited by many creatures, including several [[Wiggler]]s, Flipbugs, and, in the case of the final planet, a few [[boulder]]s. When Mario lands here, he must Ground Pound the correct [[stump]]s on each Apple Planet in order to make a [[Worm (Super Mario Galaxy)|worm]] burrow through each of the three planets. Mario can then use the worm's body as a bridge from one apple to the next. On the final planet, a wooden peg will make the worm's head stick out of the top of the apple, which Mario can climb onto to reach the [[Launch Star]] to the next planet.
{{br}}


Then Mario lands on a section of yellow blocks. Mario has to get to the green arrow-pendulum and Star Spin close to it to adjust gravity to get to the next part. The player has to do the same tatic at the next green pendulum arrow. In the next stage, the player has to attack another arrow. In the final area, Mario has to avoid what the cannons are shooting to reach the star at the end.
===Spiny Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Thorn Planet.png|200px|thumb|Mario on the {{conjectural|Spiny Planet|planet}}.]]
This small planet is the last planet encountered before Major Burrows' Planet. When [[Mario]] lands on this planet, he will be positioned on top of a [[stump]]. When he [[Ground Pound]]s this, a [[Life Mushroom]] will appear and begin to move around the planetoid. Mario must collect this carefully, or he runs the risk of accidentally being poked by the spiny vine that surrounds and digs into the planet. Another wooden peg here will make some [[Star Bit]]s appear. When he has collected everything on the planet, a [[Launch Star]] on the top of the planet will take Mario to Major Burrows' Planet. There are also no enemies on this planet.
{{br}}


===Major Burrows's Daredevil Run===
===Major Burrows's Planet===
It is the dirty tricks of Major Burrows but with the [[Prankster Comet|daredevil comet]], so Mario only has one wedge of health.
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Major Burrows Planet.png|thumb|200px|left|{{conjectural|Major Burrows's Planet|planet}} in the distance that the [[Launch Star]] launches Mario to.]]
This is a small rounded dirt planet with a large tree growing out of the top and several [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s and [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s on the bottom. This is also presumably the home of a single [[Star Bunny]]. When [[Mario]] arrives on the planet for the first time, he witnesses the Star Bunny being chased by none other than [[Major Burrows]], an abnormally large [[mole]] with an anger management problem who apparently wants to have the bunny as a snack. Mario must [[Ground Pound]] near Major Burrows and then [[spin]] him to engage him in battle. He must then defeat Major Burrows in order to get the [[Power Star]]. There is also a small ledge on the tree in the center of the planet that the Star Bunny uses to rest after being rescued by Mario. Note that this planet also reappears as the third planet in the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
{{br}}


===Purple Coins on the Puzzle Cube===
===Grass Spheres Planet===
The player is timed in this mission to collect 100 [[Purple Coins]]. Hence the name, it occurs on the Puzzle Cube. There are 150 Purple Coins in all.
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Grass Spheres Planet.png|200px|thumb|Mario flying to the {{conjectural|Grass Spheres Planet|planet}}.]]
This planet is a collection of six grass spheres with [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s and [[boulder]]s rolling around it. There are multiple [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s where each grass sphere meets the next, which [[Mario]] must be very careful to avoid. At the top of the final grass sphere is a [[Launch Star]]. This planet is also the location of the hidden star in the Gusty Garden Galaxy. In order to get the hidden star, Mario must collect a [[Rainbow Star]] from the previous planetoid, and then fly to this planet. He must seek out the only [[Gold Chomp]] on the planet and destroy it as [[Rainbow Mario]], which will release the [[Power Star]].
{{br}}


===The Golden Chomp===
===Disk Planets===
The player has to go through the course and get the [[Rainbow Star]], by getting all the [[Question Coin|Question coins]] in the air, then Mario has to quickly launch himself with the Launch Star and the player needs to defeat the [[Golden Chomp]] Head by running into it to get a Power Star.
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Disk Planets Top Side.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario on the {{conjectural|Disk Planets|planets}}.]]
These planets consist of three flying saucer-like floating disks with a small pole stuck through each one. The first disk is yellow, the second disk is blue and white striped, and the third disk is green. [[Mario]] must carefully work his way around these planets to find five [[Star Chip]]s, taking care to avoid the many [[Amp]]s that orbit around some of them. When he has collected all five Star Chips, the [[Launch Star]] will appear on the topmost disk, and Mario will be able to advance to the next planet.

These five planets are a collection of odd-looking boxes that are only encountered in the [[Gusty Garden's Gravity Scramble]] level. When [[Mario]] flips the gravity, the color of the planets will alternate from green with a ? to yellow with a ! or vice versa. There are several cannons on these planets, along with numerous [[Goomba]]s and [[Slurple]]s as well. When Mario finally reaches the end of these planetoids, he will find a [[Power Star]] encased in a large ice crystal.

The Gusty Garden Galaxy is a galaxy from the game Super Mario Galaxy that is located in the Bedroom. It features many grass and plant themed planetoids scattered throughout the galaxy. Many of them can only be reached by grabbing onto a Floaty Fluff and spinning to glide on gusts of wind from one planet to the next. The sky in the Gusty Garden Galaxy is perpetually swirling with a light gray foggy hue. The boss of this galaxy is a mole named Major Burrows.

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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario on the Starting Planet.

This is a relatively small planet with two sides. On the top of the planet, there's nothing more than some flowers, a few Crystals, two Star Bunnies, and some Floaty Fluff. On the bottom of the planet, which is completely covered in dirt, there are only some Goombas that appear when Ground Pounding stumps (or Tracks during later missions), rocks and prickly plants. This is the first planet that Mario lands on in every mission except the Prankster Comet missions. A powerful gust of wind spirals from this planet to the next planet.

Stone Pieces 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario on the Stone Pieces Planet.

This planet looks a little like the Starting Planet, though it features several pieces of stone architecture embedded in the ground, including a stone pillar, stone steps, and a stone pedestal. The top of the planet has flowers and more Floaty Fluff. It also has a Warp Pipe on the underside that leads to the inside of the planet, as well as a ? Coin that makes several rings of Star Bits appear between this planet and the next. Mario can collect these with the Star Pointer when standing on the planet or use a Floaty Fluff and ride on the wind in order to get closer to them (or fly through them). Later in the game, the inside of the planet will be filled with many prickly plants and another ? Coin, which will make a Rainbow Star appear. A single Piranha Plant also awaits on the top of the planet, and will yield a coin when defeated.

Bean 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

A few of the Bean Planets in the Gusty Garden Galaxy.

There are several oddly-shaped planetoids in the Gusty Garden Galaxy which look a lot like beans. These planets are pretty small and slightly resemble a few of the planets from the Good Egg Galaxy. They each have relatively different sizes but basically the same form overall. Most of them are inhabited only by Piranha Plants, Montys and Flipbugs. They are so small and closely positioned together that Mario is able to travel between them using nothing other than Sproutle Vines. On many of the planets, Sproutle Vines will already be out in the open. In that case, all Mario has to do is spin to make it appear. However, more often than not, he will have to defeat at least one Piranha Plant in order to make a Sproutle Vine appear. On the final Bean Planet, a Spiny Piranha Plant awaits. After it is defeated, the Launch Star to the next planet will appear. There is also a hidden path among these planets, which is accessed by means of a Sproutle Vine on the underside of one of the planets. It will allow Mario to circumvent one of the planets that has a Spiny Piranha Plant on it, but will ultimately lead him back to the same planet that he would have ended up on regardless.

Curve 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario encountering some Piranha Plants on the Curve Planet.

This relatively simple planet is shaped like a curve twisting to the left. On the top of the planet are flowers, another stone pedestal, and of course, more Floaty Fluff, which Mario must use to get to the next planet. Unlike most planets, the underside of this planet is partly covered in grass in addition to the top side. There are not many enemies or obstacles here, only a few Piranha Plants, Flipbugs, and the occasional Monty. A hidden Sproutle Vine on this planet will reward Mario with a 1-Up Mushroom if he follows it to the end.

Puzzle Cube[edit]

Inside the Puzzle Cube's underground tunnel.

As its name implies, this planet is shaped like a gigantic cube. The "puzzle" part comes into play as a result of the many hedges that are present on this planet, many of which have been trimmed in such a way that they form a maze in some areas of the planet. There are different obstacles on each side of the Puzzle Cube, and a fountain on the side that Mario lands on when he touches down here. There is also a small cylindrical underground tunnel running straight through the center of the planet which holds a few prizes, including Star Bits and a 1-Up Mushroom. When Mario first lands here, he must successfully chase and catch a playful Star Bunny to get the Power Star. He later returns here when a Purple Comet is in orbit, where he must collect at least 100 Purple Coins within a certain time limit in order to get the Power Star.

Question Mark 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

The top and bottom planets that collectively comprise the Question Mark Planets.
The Question Mark Planet as seen on a Super Mario Galaxy trading card.

These two planets are collectively referred to as the Question Mark Planets, as they clearly resemble their titular punctuation mark. In the second level in the Gusty Garden Galaxy, Mario uses a Floaty Fluff to glide to the bottom planet first, and then uses a Sling Star to reach the top planet. The first planet contains only some flowers and an Undergrunt, which Mario must defeat to progress. This planet acts as the "dot" of the question mark, while the second planet is much bigger and consists of the main body of the question mark. The top planet is infested with three Undergrunts which Mario has to defeat to make the Launch Star to the next planet appear.

Super Mario Galaxy trading card description[edit]

Landing here from the previous grassy planet turned dirtpath central, Mario finds more of the same on this question-mark-shaped planetoid. Mario must rid the planet of three moles by ground-pounding the dirt to bring them to the surface and then Star-Spinning them out into the cosmos.

Hedge Ring 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario flying toward the Hedge Ring Planet.

This planet is optional, and is fairly easy to miss if the player is not careful. Normally, the Launch Star from the previous planet will just shoot Mario straight through this planet to the next planet. Therefore, Mario can only visit this planet if he quickly activates one of the five Pull Stars positioned around the inner ring of the planet. After he is pulled to the planet, he will find many ? Coins which will make multiple Star Bits appear around the planet. However, he must be cautious when attempting to collect them, as the planet is surrounded by large spiky vines, forcing Mario to follow a designated path around various parts of the planet. When he reaches the "end" of the planet, another Launch Star will take him to the next planet.

Apple 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario running around the Apple Planets.

These planets consist of nothing more than three huge apples that get increasingly larger as Mario progresses. The end two apples are red and the apple in the middle is green. On the planets are multiple wooden pegs which can be Ground Pounded to release anything from Star Bits to Flipbugs. These planets are also inhabited by many creatures, including several Wigglers, Flipbugs, and, in the case of the final planet, a few boulders. When Mario lands here, he must Ground Pound the correct stumps on each Apple Planet in order to make a worm burrow through each of the three planets. Mario can then use the worm's body as a bridge from one apple to the next. On the final planet, a wooden peg will make the worm's head stick out of the top of the apple, which Mario can climb onto to reach the Launch Star to the next planet.

Spiny 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario on the Spiny Planet.

This small planet is the last planet encountered before Major Burrows' Planet. When Mario lands on this planet, he will be positioned on top of a stump. When he Ground Pounds this, a Life Mushroom will appear and begin to move around the planetoid. Mario must collect this carefully, or he runs the risk of accidentally being poked by the spiny vine that surrounds and digs into the planet. Another wooden peg here will make some Star Bits appear. When he has collected everything on the planet, a Launch Star on the top of the planet will take Mario to Major Burrows' Planet. There are also no enemies on this planet.

Major Burrows's 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Home of Major Burrows in Gusty Garden Galaxy.
Major Burrows's Planet in the distance that the Launch Star launches Mario to.

This is a small rounded dirt planet with a large tree growing out of the top and several prickly plants and Crystals on the bottom. This is also presumably the home of a single Star Bunny. When Mario arrives on the planet for the first time, he witnesses the Star Bunny being chased by none other than Major Burrows, an abnormally large mole with an anger management problem who apparently wants to have the bunny as a snack. Mario must Ground Pound near Major Burrows and then spin him to engage him in battle. He must then defeat Major Burrows in order to get the Power Star. There is also a small ledge on the tree in the center of the planet that the Star Bunny uses to rest after being rescued by Mario. Note that this planet also reappears as the third planet in the Boss Blitz Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Grass Spheres 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario flying to the Grass Spheres Planet.

This planet is a collection of six grass spheres with Chomps and boulders rolling around it. There are multiple prickly plants where each grass sphere meets the next, which Mario must be very careful to avoid. At the top of the final grass sphere is a Launch Star. This planet is also the location of the hidden star in the Gusty Garden Galaxy. In order to get the hidden star, Mario must collect a Rainbow Star from the previous planetoid, and then fly to this planet. He must seek out the only Gold Chomp on the planet and destroy it as Rainbow Mario, which will release the Power Star.

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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario on the Disk Planets.

These planets consist of three flying saucer-like floating disks with a small pole stuck through each one. The first disk is yellow, the second disk is blue and white striped, and the third disk is green. Mario must carefully work his way around these planets to find five Star Chips, taking care to avoid the many Amps that orbit around some of them. When he has collected all five Star Chips, the Launch Star will appear on the topmost disk, and Mario will be able to advance to the next planet.

! and ? 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 acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario flying to the ! and ? Planets.

These five planets are a collection of odd-looking boxes that are only encountered in the Gusty Garden's Gravity Scramble level. When Mario flips the gravity, the color of the planets will alternate from green with a ? to yellow with a ! or vice versa. There are several cannons on these planets, along with numerous Goombas and Slurples as well. When Mario finally reaches the end of these planetoids, he will find a Power Star encased in a large ice crystal.

Asteroid Fields[edit]

Throughout the galaxy, there are three fields of space rocks. These can only be accessed by hacking. Unlike other space debris in the game, these actually have collision and can be interacted with.
