'''Bowser's Galaxy Reactor''' is the final galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is located in the center of the universe and can be accessed only by talking to [[Rosalina]] on the [[Comet Observatory]]. After the player talks to her, she will transform the observatory into a comet and fly it to the center of the universe, with very minor resistance along the way. It is the only galaxy with a single star to have its own music.


==Traversing the Galaxy==
This is where the final [[Grand Star]] is located, and as such features, the final battle between [[Mario]] and [[Bowser]]. During the battle, [[Bowser Jr.]] watches from the sidelines on his [[airship]] while holding [[Princess Peach]] captive. After defeating Bowser, one of the planets near his large sun implodes and turns into a supermassive [[black hole]], causing the entire galaxy to collapse in upon itself, after which it begins to suck up the entire universe, along with [[Peach's Castle]] and the Comet Observatory as well. The [[Luma]]s all throw themselves into the black hole to reverse its effects and prevent the destruction of the universe. Afterwards, the galaxy is reformed, and Mario, Peach, Bowser, and many others land safely back in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].


The galaxy contains seven planets (not including the three planets in which Mario battles Bowser). The first is a planet with spotlights that change the direction of gravity. This planet is reminiscent of [[Castle|the castle]]. The second is a spherical planet with a lava core and a few rocks. This planet is reminiscent of the flame half of the [[FreezeFlame Galaxy]]. The third is the same with an ice core and ice blocks. This planet is reminiscent of the freeze half of the Freezeflame Galaxy. The fourth planet has a sand core with rocks and [[firebar]]s. This galaxy is reminiscent of the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]]. The fifth one is actually not a planet. As Mario walks along, glowing blocks begin to appear, forming a path. This is reminiscent of the [[Space Junk Galaxy]]. The sixth is a cylindrical planet resembling a castle where Mario travels through the lava-filled core. This planet has [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Banzai Bill]]s. The last planet is the pathway toward the battle between Mario and Bowser. There is actualy two more unreachable planets of to the side of planets two, three, and four. One is completly made of water and the other of Lava.
==Planets/Areas==
'''NOTE''': Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.
===Starting Area===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Gravity Spotlight.png|200px|thumb|The Starting Area, the Castle Wall]]
This is the first area that [[Mario]] encounters after entering the Warp Field inside Peach's Castle. The extensive vertical walls of this strange area appear to be part of a crumbling castle. This particular section of the level contains special [[gravity spotlight]]s which allow Mario to walk directly up the vertical walls when the gravity field of the spotlights is entered. Several [[Dry Bones]] also patrol the area, and can trip Mario if he is not careful.  
{{br}}


{{spoiler}}
===Lava Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Lava Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|{{conjectural|Lava Planet|planet}}]]
This planet is the first of three-element planets that are encountered one after another. The planet itself is made completely of [[lava]], though it does have multiple steel platforms rising out of the lava, along with moving sections of cooled lava which form moving pathways across the diameter of the planet. The steel platforms on the planet will begin to sink down into the lava as soon as Mario sets foot on them. The only significant obstacles that Mario will face on this planet (aside from the sinking platforms) are [[Lava Bubble]]s and [[Lava Steam]]s. A few [[coin]]s can be found on certain parts of the planet, along with a [[1-Up Mushroom]].
{{br}}


==The Fate of the Universe==
===Ice sphere===
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Ice Planet.png|200px|thumb|Ice sphere]]
The '''ice sphere'''<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=299|date=November 9, 2007|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-7615-5643-5}}</ref> is similar and seemingly larger than the previous planet Mario visits, except that it is made out of ice instead of lava. It has Ice Blocks that create a path across its frozen surface. The Ice Blocks last for about six seconds before they disappear, meaning that they must be navigated quickly. The ice surface of the planet acts like lava, just like fatally cold water found in [[Snowman's Land]] of ''Super Mario 64''.
{{br}}


This is the only level in the galaxy.
===Sand Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Quicksand Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|{{conjectural|Sand Planet|planet}}]]
This planet also appears to be larger than the previous planet and is the last element planet, but is made of sand. To get across this planet, Mario must follow moving stone paths to avoid [[Fire Bar]]s and quicksand that results in instant death. In this sense, it is rather similar to the Lava Planet, as both planets involve a narrow, moving pathway with a deadly substance making up the remainder of the surface and fire-based obstacles. Three [[tornado]]es can also be found here, although they are of no use to Mario, for they only lead to his [[Game Over|death]].
{{br}}


===The Ultimate Pathway===
===Lava and Water Planets===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG BGR Lava Water Planets.png|200px|thumb|{{conjectural|Lava and Water Planets|planets}}]]
These are two unreachable planets off to the side of the element planets. One is completely made of water, and the other is made of lava.
{{br}}


The way Mario has to take to reach the battle with Bowser is not an easy one. He starts on a small rock resembling part of a castle wall. Using gravity spotlights, Mario could climb the walls and arrive at a tower guarded by Dry Bones. At the top a large Gravity Spotlight would carry Mario across to the Fire Planet, the path across this was over rocks that would topple over when stepped on, and sinking platforms. A second large spotlight carries Mario to the ice planet at the en of the pathway. Both the ice planets surface and the fire planets surface would cause one point of damage if touched. The Ice planets pathway is formed by ice blocks that shoot in from space, but these would vanish after a time. The third planet, reached by another spotlight, is made of sinking sand, which is fatal if touched. The planet is traversed over circular platforms which move around but dip beneath the planets surface. There were also fire bars in the way. Yet another spotlight would carry Mario into a space junkyard, platforms would shoot in and shortly vanish, like on the ice planet. However, gravity arrows and fire bars get in the way this time. At the end of the pathway, a Gravity spotlight allows access to the fire tunnel, a hollow planet made entirely of fire and is cylindrical. Bullet bills, sinking platforms, Thowmps and Banzai Bills all get in Marios way here. At the end, a launch star takes Mario to Bowsers Final Stand.  
===Space Junk Area===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Space Junk Area.png|200px|thumb|left|{{conjectural|Space Junk Area|area}}]]
These are blocks that float around space, but when Mario gets close to them, the glowing blocks begin to appear beneath Mario's feet, which forms a path for him to continue. If Mario stays on the platform for too long, it will disappear. He must also deal with alterations in the gravity's direction, and time his movements to avoid Firebars.
{{br}}


===Jr. Attacks===
===Lava Tower Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Tower Planet.png|200px|thumb|{{conjectural|Lava Tower Planet|planet}}]]
This planet is a cylinder resembling a castle tower, though the inside is walled with lava. This planet has [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s, and [[Thwomp]]s. Mario must travel to the end to reach the [[Launch Star]] using moving and sinking platforms while avoiding all enemies and obstacles with limited cover and a sparse supply of coins. Mario can lure Bullet Bills into [[Bowser Statue]]s for [[coin]]s there. The walls of the planet have their own gravity. There is also a hidden [[black hole]] found behind and above the planet.
{{br}}


Bowser Jr. appears on his airship at the bottom of the staircase to where Bowser stands with Princess Peach behind him. He taunts Mario, then flies behind his father and begins shooting down the staircase. When a meteor hits the staircase, The piece will crumble and fall. Along the way there are two Mushrooms, a 1-Up Mushshroom and a Super Shroom. Grabbing them takes up valuble time, however.
===Stairway===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Bowser Galaxy Reactor Stairway.png|200px|thumb|left|The {{conjectural|Stairway|area}}]]
This is the pathway toward the battle between Mario and Bowser. It consists of a flight of stairs. There are two side platforms that contain a [[Life Mushroom]] and a [[1-Up Mushroom]] on the left and the right of the stairs respectively. If [[Mario]] wishes to get there, he must do it quickly or the path will crumble when [[Bowser Jr.]] shoots meteors from his airship.
{{br}}


===Bowser's Showdown===
===Bowser's Rock Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Bowser's Rock Planet.png|200px|thumb|{{conjectural|Bowser's Rock Planet|planet}}]]
This is the first planet is where the first stage of the final battle takes place. It has [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s growing on the surface. Mario can have Bowser crush the plants to get Star Bits and coins.
{{br}}


After explaining his plan, Bowser gravitises him and Mario to a nearby planetoid made of metal, with spiky bushes on. He transforms into a boulder with his head sticking out of the top. If his head is hit by a spiky bush or Marios spin attack, he will fall out of the boulder, then must be spun again to take damage.
===Bowser's Shell Planet===
After he is hurt twice, Mario and Bowser will fly to another planetoid. Here, Bowser transforms into a ball made of two of his shells. He then rolls around the planet. Mario must Star Spin into sling plants to hit Bowser on his back, then the player has to Star Spin him. After doing this twice, Mario and Bowser will fall towards a giant [[Sun]], one of the biggest in the game. It is, however, hollow, with holes, and the two combatants will fall through one of these to land on the reactor at the center.
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Bowser's Shell Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|{{conjectural|Bowser's Shell Planet|planet}}]]
This is the second planet where the second stage of the final battle takes place. It has [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s and [[rubbery bulb]]s growing on the surface of it. Mario can have Bowser crush the prickly plants or spin the rubbery bulbs into the prickly plants to get Star Bits or coins.


===Final Fight===
What appears to be this planet is shown exploding in the ending cutscene of the game, expanding until it becomes a black hole.
[[Image:Final_Reactor.jpg|thumb|right|Bowser fights Mario on the Galaxy Reactor.]]
{{br}}


Here, Mario fights Bowser in a similar way to how he does in Bowser's Star Reactor and Bowser's Dark Matter Plant, except 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 the player takes.
===Galaxy Reactor===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Galaxy Reactor.png|200px|thumb|{{conjectural|Galaxy Reactor|planet}}]]
This last planet is where the third and final stage of the final battle takes place. It has coin lamps and ice crystals containing coins on the surface. The reactor is surrounded by a sphere of lava that makes up the massive sun of Bowser's galaxy. The final Grand Star of the game is hidden inside the reactor. The sphere of lava, however, is not solid.

It is then revealed that Bowser has survived his fall into the gigantic Sun, but is stranded on a smaller one, on a platform which is sinking into the planet. As its gravity increases, the Sun sucks in more and more rocks from around it, then collapses on its own weight, becoming a giant [[Black Hole]]. 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 (or Luigi's) Luma pops out, waves its arm and zooms toward the black hole.  It is soon joined by all of the other Lumas.

“Finally! You got here just in time to see the creation of my galaxy in the center of the universe! WATCH AND WEEP! From this galaxy, I'll rule a great galactic empire with Peach by my side. It will last forever! I will rule every pitiful corner of the universe. So, Mario/Luigi, as you can see, I got big plans. And stomping you is at the top of my list!”
—Bowser, Super Mario Galaxy

Bowser's Galaxy Reactor is the final galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. It is located in the center of the universe and can be accessed only by talking to Rosalina on the Comet Observatory. After the player talks to her, she will transform the observatory into a comet and fly it to the center of the universe, with very minor resistance along the way. It is the only galaxy with a single star to have its own music.

This is where the final Grand Star is located, and as such features, the final battle between Mario and Bowser. During the battle, Bowser Jr. watches from the sidelines on his airship while holding Princess Peach captive. After defeating Bowser, one of the planets near his large sun implodes and turns into a supermassive black hole, causing the entire galaxy to collapse in upon itself, after which it begins to suck up the entire universe, along with Peach's Castle and the Comet Observatory as well. The Lumas all throw themselves into the black hole to reverse its effects and prevent the destruction of the universe. Afterwards, the galaxy is reformed, and Mario, Peach, Bowser, and many others land safely back in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Planets/Areas[edit]

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.

Starting Area[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.

Gravity spotlight
The Starting Area, the Castle Wall

This is the first area that Mario encounters after entering the Warp Field inside Peach's Castle. The extensive vertical walls of this strange area appear to be part of a crumbling castle. This particular section of the level contains special gravity spotlights which allow Mario to walk directly up the vertical walls when the gravity field of the spotlights is entered. Several Dry Bones also patrol the area, and can trip Mario if he is not careful.

Lava 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.

Fire Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Lava Planet

This planet is the first of three-element planets that are encountered one after another. The planet itself is made completely of lava, though it does have multiple steel platforms rising out of the lava, along with moving sections of cooled lava which form moving pathways across the diameter of the planet. The steel platforms on the planet will begin to sink down into the lava as soon as Mario sets foot on them. The only significant obstacles that Mario will face on this planet (aside from the sinking platforms) are Lava Bubbles and Lava Steams. A few coins can be found on certain parts of the planet, along with a 1-Up Mushroom.

Ice sphere[edit]

Unreachable water and lava planets in Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Lava and Water Planets

These are two unreachable planets off to the side of the element planets. One is completely made of water, and the other is made of lava.

Space Junk Area[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.

Cosmic Blocks from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Space Junk Area

These are blocks that float around space, but when Mario gets close to them, the glowing blocks begin to appear beneath Mario's feet, which forms a path for him to continue. If Mario stays on the platform for too long, it will disappear. He must also deal with alterations in the gravity's direction, and time his movements to avoid Firebars.

Lava Tower 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.

Tower Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Lava Tower Planet

This planet is a cylinder resembling a castle tower, though the inside is walled with lava. This planet has Bullet Bills, Banzai Bills, and Thwomps. Mario must travel to the end to reach the Launch Star using moving and sinking platforms while avoiding all enemies and obstacles with limited cover and a sparse supply of coins. Mario can lure Bullet Bills into Bowser Statues for coins there. The walls of the planet have their own gravity. There is also a hidden black hole found behind and above the planet.

Stairway[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 Pathway from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
The Stairway

This is the pathway toward the battle between Mario and Bowser. It consists of a flight of stairs. There are two side platforms that contain a Life Mushroom and a 1-Up Mushroom on the left and the right of the stairs respectively. If Mario wishes to get there, he must do it quickly or the path will crumble when Bowser Jr. shoots meteors from his airship.

Bowser's Rock 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.

Purple Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Bowser's Rock Planet

This is the first planet is where the first stage of the final battle takes place. It has prickly plants growing on the surface. Mario can have Bowser crush the plants to get Star Bits and coins.

Bowser's Shell 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.

Brown Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Bowser's Shell Planet

This is the second planet where the second stage of the final battle takes place. It has prickly plants and rubbery bulbs growing on the surface of it. Mario can have Bowser crush the prickly plants or spin the rubbery bulbs into the prickly plants to get Star Bits or coins.

What appears to be this planet is shown exploding in the ending cutscene of the game, expanding until it becomes a black hole.

Galaxy Reactor[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 third part of Bowser's final battle
Galaxy Reactor

This last planet is where the third and final stage of the final battle takes place. It has coin lamps and ice crystals containing coins on the surface. The reactor is surrounded by a sphere of lava that makes up the massive sun of Bowser's galaxy. The final Grand Star of the game is hidden inside the reactor. The sphere of lava, however, is not solid.
