'''Beat Block Galaxy''' is a galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. This is a very unique stage in which blocks disappear and re-appear to the beat of the music, as the name suggests. Another unique feature is that the Wii Remote will beep three times before the blocks swap. These three beeps are also heard elsewhere in the game such as the [[Spin-Dig Galaxy]]. Enemies here include [[Octoomba]]s and [[Astro Goomba]]s. Mario can visit this galaxy after he feeds a [[Hungry Luma]] one thousand [[Star Bits]]. The theme that plays here is a remixed version of the underground theme from ''Super Mario Bros.''.

They must simply listen to the beat of the music and the sounds of the [[Wii|Wii Remote]] to carefully cross over the many Beat Blocks to the end. The first path should be generally easy as there are very few Beat Blocks and the path is short. The second path, however, is completely made of Beat Blocks and is quite long. The [[Comet Medal]] can be obtained halfway down the second path. There will be a [[Midway Point]] and a path that connects to the Beat Block Pyramid.

Beat Block Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. This is a very unique stage in which Beat Blocks disappear and reappear to the beat of the music, as the name suggests (it is a pun on "beat-box", where one uses their mouth to make the sounds of hip-hop and electronic music). Another unique feature is that the Wii Remote will beep three times before the blocks swap. These three beeps are also heard elsewhere in the game such as the Flipsville Galaxy, Upside Dizzy Galaxy, and Battle Belt Galaxy. Enemies here include Octoombas (on the green blocks) and Goombeetles (on the yellow blocks), although they aren't present in the prankster comet mission. Mario can visit this galaxy after he feeds a Hungry Luma one thousand Star Bits. The theme that plays here is an arrangement of the Underground Theme from Super Mario Bros. This stage's main mechanic is reused in later games such as Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and Super Mario Maker 2.

Planets/Areas[edit]

Beat Block Starting Path[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.

Mario on the Beat Block Starting Path.
Beat Block Galaxy

This is the first area the player will travel through. It is basically an L-shaped path. In the first part of the area are a few Beat Blocks separated by purple platforms. Near the end of the path, more Beat Blocks are added and a purple platform connects this path with the second path. Inside the Crystal there is a Goomba.

Beat Block Path 2[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.

Mario and a Goombeetle
Mario on Beat Block Path 2.

This path is a more advanced version of the first one. The first part of the area is completely made of Beat Blocks, so there is no safe spot. There will be a Checkpoint Flag shortly after and then a path connecting to the final area. The Comet Medal is on this path.

Beat Block Pyramid[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.

Mario on the Beat Block Pyramid.
Mario on the Beat Block Pyramid during the second mission.

This area is basically one large pyramid made completely of Beat Blocks except for the corners and platform at the top with five Silver Stars spread throughout the area. During the Step to the Beep, Green Star 1, and Green Star 2 missions, only half the pyramid is present. However, during the Silver Stars in Double Time mission, the pyramid is complete. The only enemies on here are Octoombas and Goombeetles. When Mario has collected the five Silver Stars here, the beat blocks that comprise the pyramid will stop alternating and beeping, and the player is free to collect the Power Star.
