'''Flip-Out Galaxy''' is a galaxy that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The galaxy is located in World S. It is the final galaxy unlocked before the player obtains 240 Power Stars. The galaxy uses the same mechanics as the [[Flip-Swap Galaxy]] except in that instead of platforms, the player controls giant walls colored red and blue. The player needs to use the walls to their advantage in order to progress through the level. Common enemies here are [[Scuttlebug]]s, [[Choppah]]s, and [[Cosmic Clone]]s, which the latter being in the second level.

This is the only galaxy where a [[Green Star]] is found in a [[Prankster Comet]] mission.


The galaxy's name may come from the idiom "flip out", meaning to lose control of oneself.

Mario first starts off onto the starting planet. After practicing how to control the spin-activated walls, Mario enters a pipe leading straight to the Flip Wall Planet. Here, he must travel up the flip walls by means of hopping or even wall jumping. Soon, Mario will reach a spike trap area where he must carefully time his movements to make it safely over. Afterwards, Mario was once again deal with flip walls while avoiding Choppahs. Next, the player will find Mario once again facing eight sets of spikes he must avoid. What is challenging is avoiding the flip walls at the same time making sure he doesn't touch the spikes. Soon, Mario will end up at the hardest part of the coarse. The player was carefully guide wall jump Mario along the blocks, being mindful of when to spin in mid-air to activate a different color block to wall jump off of. By the end though, Mario makes it to the top, break open the star from the crystal, and complete the level.

Once again, Mario has to deal with all the stuff he dealt with in the Wicked Wall Jump in this level. Yet it comes with a more challenging task as the Cosmic Clones brought by a [[Prankster Comet]] follow closely behind him. The Cosmic Clones are restless and begin forming after Mario arrives on the Flip Wall planet as they stay with him throughout the entire level, though there are checkpoints here so if Mario loses a life, he can restart there. Complete the Flip Wall planet and free the star to end the raid of the Cosmic Clones for good. Grab the star to complete the level.

The Flip-Out Galaxy is a galaxy that appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2, and is located in World S. It is unlocked by feeding the Hungry Luma 2,000 Star Bits, and is the final galaxy that can be unlocked before the player obtains 240 Power Stars. The galaxy uses the same concept as the Flip-Swap Galaxy from World 1, except that instead of controlling Red-Blue Panels, the player controls red and blue blocks. In this regard, it combines the mechanics of the Flip-Swap Galaxy with Wall Jumping. The player needs to use the walls to their advantage in order to progress through the level. Common enemies here are Spoings, Choppahs, and Cosmic Clones, the last of which appear only in the second level. This is the only galaxy where a Green Star is found in a Prankster Comet mission.

The galaxy's name may come from the idiom "flip out", meaning to lose control of oneself.
