(→‎Trivia: These 2 pieces of information contradict what's in the video reference. For the former, see timestamp 1:35 for a losing scenario. For the latter, see 0:43 for the beginning of the section that normally requires star chips. Maybe the star chip thing was changed by the original mod developer (linked in the ref's description, at https://youtu.be/2OFp6xI2IH0), but that's just speculation. Regardless, these are true in that video too.)

Cosmic Mario has a very high-pitched voice. Cosmic Luigi has the same voice as Cosmic Mario, despite the fact that their regular counterparts, Mario and Luigi, have different voices from each other.

Cosmic Mario appears to be the equivalent of [[Koopa the Quick]] and [[Il Piantissimo]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', respectively. [[Spooky Speedster]], also from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', is a racer as well.

Similar entities based on Cosmic Mario appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the form of the [[Cosmic Clone]]s and the [[Cosmic Spirit]]. Cosmic Clones are slightly different in appearance and mimic Mario's movements, all the while spawning more of themselves, usually in areas where if Mario waits too long, they'll multiply to the point where he can't get around and they'll catch up to him. The Cosmic Spirit is the equivalent of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Super Guide Block]], controlling Mario to guide him to a Bronze Star (the Gold Star can only be obtained without the help of the Cosmic Spirit).

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.
