The Starting Planet is where the player first lands. Two [[Jack O' Goomba]]s are encountered at the beginning. The planet consists of four odd shaped millstones that the player must use to get to the [[Launch Star]] at the end. Many [[Octoomba]]s are found on the millstones. At the bottom of the second and fourth millstones are areas of land which will protect the player if they fall off. Under the fourth millstone is a [[Hungry Luma]] which will require the player to feed it 30 [[coin]]s. If they do so, they will be taken to the [[#Ledge Hammer Planet|Ledge Hammer Planet]]. If not, they could take the Launch Star to the [[#Pushing Wall Planet|Pushing Wall Planet]].

The Pushing Wall Planet is filled with [[Jack O' Goomba]]s. As the name suggests, the planet's main obstacle is the wall's ability to push the player out of the planet's gravitational force, causing them to fall into a [[Black Hole]], similar to that of a [[Pushy Wall]]. The objective is to free the [[Luma]] that is trapped in a cage. The player will need to climb to the top left where they should find a switch similar to those found in [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]] from the [[Super Mario Galaxy|first game]]. After the player hits the switch, the walls will fall apart and the gravity will change. The player will need to make their way to the ground pound switch on the bottom, freeing the Luma. The Luma will transform into a Launch Star and take the player to the [[#Millstone Planet|Millstone Planet]].

The [[Ledge Hammer]] Planet is accessed by feeding the [[Hungry Luma]] 30 [[coin]]s on the [[#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]]. The planet is only visited during [[#The Ledge Hammer Trap|The Ledge Hammer Trap]] mission. It is a planet that has six [[Ledge Hammer]]s on it. Getting hit by a Ledge Hammer will make the player automatically lose a life. The ground moves in a circular pattern and has many pieces of it cut out. Electrical fences also appear on the planet. There are two [[Time Switch]]es found here and are helpful when trying to get to the other side. After the player passes the first Ledge Hammers, they will find a green [[Warp Pipe]] which will take them to the upper area of the planet. The same five ledge hammers are found here, but this time, the cracks in the wall will show where the ledge hammers will hit. There are no switches up here to slow down time. At the end of the upper area is the [[Power Star]].

The Millstone Planet is the final planet in the galaxy. It is made up of three distinct areas. In the first area, there are millstones that fall from the sky and roll downhill. The player should use the indents in the stones to avoid being crushed. This specific area is where the [[Comet Medal]] is located. The second area consists of spiked ground and walls which the player must avoid. Pegs are also found here. They can wall jump off of the two millstones in the area to reach the final area. In this area, the player should take the elevator and hit the switch to make millstones fall from the sky. The player will need to use the millstones to reach the pegs and finally the [[Power Star]].

[[File:SMG2 Clockwork Ruins Green Star 2.png|thumb|200px|[[Luigi]] about to snag the second Green Star.]]
The player will have to collect the one hundred [[Purple Coin]]s scattered across the [[#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]]. The player has only five minutes to collect the coins. Unlike in the regular level, no enemies are present. This level is time-consuming as the coins are on all sides of the millstones, and a few rotations will be needed before each one is done. After collecting the coins, the star will appear on top of the fourth millstone. Time right and jump when Mario is at the highest point to grab the star.
The player should replay the [[Time for Adventure]] mission. The second Green Star is located on the [[#Pusher Wall Planet|Pusher Wall Planet]]. The player needs to first change the gravitational force of the planet so they walking on the wall. The player can then do one of two things: they can either do a backwards somersault followed by a [[spin]] to get on the borders of the level or just have a pushing wall push him or her towards the border. The Green Star is on the top right corner.

The player will need to first collect 30 [[coin]]s on the [[#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]]. After they have the amount, they should go feed the [[Hungry Luma]] that is located beneath the fourth millstone. The Luma will then transform into the [[#Ledge Hammer Planet|Ledge Hammer Planet]], which the player should travel to. When they land, they will notice some [[Ledge Hammer|monstrous-looking mallets]] hitting the ground below and the wall above. The player will need to carefully navigate through the first part and take the Warp Pipe to the second area. They will need to dodge the hammers and reach the [[Power Star]] at the end. However, Luigi has it much easier, as with his bettter jumping he can simply backflip, spin, walljump, and spin again from the starting point to reach the star.


The early location of Green Star 2 was after the first set of millstones on the [[#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]].

The Clockwork Ruins Galaxy is a galaxy located in World 6 appearing in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is an ancient ruins-themed location featuring several stone structures as planets, oftentimes decorated with face carvings, grass and trees. The galaxy includes new gimmicks such as rolling millstones and walls that push the player out of the gravitational force. Bars are also introduced in this level. Only Goomba enemies are found here, and they include Jack O'Goombas and Octoombas.

The music in this galaxy is the same as the music in the Slipsand Galaxy. They also share the towers in the background.

Planets[edit]

Giant Rotation Planet[edit]

Mario arrives at the Clockwork Ruins Galaxy starting planet in Super Mario Galaxy 2
Mario approaching the Giant Rotation Planet

Mario on the Giant Rotation Planet.

The Giant Rotation Planet[1] is where the player first lands. Two Jack O'Goombas are encountered at the beginning. The planet consists of four odd-shaped millstones that the player must use to get to the Launch Star at the end. Many Octoombas are found on the millstones. At the bottom of the second and fourth millstones are areas of land which protects the player if they fall off. Under the fourth millstone is a Hungry Luma which requires the player to feed it 30 coins. If the player does so, the Luma can open the passage to the Huge Hammer Planet. If not, the player can take the Launch Star to the Pusher Wall Planet.

Pusher Wall Planet[edit]

The Pusher Wall Planet[1] is filled with Jack O'Goombas. As the name suggests, the planet's main obstacle is the wall's ability to push the player out of the planet's gravitational force to a black hole, similar to that of a Bomp. The objective is to free the Luma that is trapped in a cage. The player needs to climb to the top left where a switch similar to those found in Gusty Garden Galaxy from the first game is located. After the player hits the switch, the walls fall apart and the gravity changes. The player needs to make the way to the ground pound switch on the bottom, freeing the Luma. The Luma transforms into a Launch Star and takes the player to the Rolling Drum Planet.

Huge Hammer Planet[edit]

Mario heading to the Huge Hammer Planet.

The Huge Hammer Planet[1] is accessed by feeding the Hungry Luma thirty coins on the Giant Rotation Planet. The planet is only visited during The Ledge Hammer Trap mission. It is a planet that has six Ledge Hammers on it. Getting flattened by a Ledge Hammer makes the player automatically lose a life. The ground moves in a circular pattern and has many pieces of it cut out. Electrical fences also appear on the planet. There are two blue switches found here that slows down time temporarily, and they are helpful when trying to get to the other side. There is also a 1-Up Mushroom that can be acquired by jumping onto the head of a Ledge Hammer after slowing down time. After the player passes the first Ledge Hammers, there is a green Warp Pipe that leads to the upper area of the planet. The same five ledge hammers are found here, but this time, the cracks in the wall show where the Ledge Hammers are hitting. There are no blue switches up here to slow down time. Another 1-Up Mushroom can be found above one of these Ledge Hammers. At the end of the upper area is the Power Star.

Rolling Drum Planet[edit]

The Rolling Drum Planet[1] is the final planet in the galaxy. It is made up of three distinct areas. In the first area, there are millstones that fall from the sky and roll downhill. The player should use the indents in the stones to avoid being crushed. This specific area is where the Comet Medal is located. The second area consists of spiked ground and walls which the player must avoid. Bars are also found here. The player can wall jump off the two millstones in the area to reach the final area. In this area, the player should take the elevator and hit the switch to make millstones fall from the sky. The player needs to use the millstones to reach the bars and finally the Power Star.

Prima Official Game Guide description[edit]

  • "Can you survive the cogs and wheels built into these ancient ruins? Drive into empty holes to avoid getting smashed by rolling wheels. And be sure to collect coins as you explore because there's a little Luma in this galaxy that would gladly accept your spare change in exchange for revealing the hidden Power Star."
