'''Cloudy Court Galaxy''' is a galaxy in World 3 of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The galaxy takes place in the sky and is similar to [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]] from the [[Super Mario Galaxy|first game]]. This galaxy, along with [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]], makes prominent use of the the new [[Cloud Mario]] power via [[Cloud Flower]]. Mario will need to use his new power to create clouds to cross the gaps in the galaxy. However, strong winds will slowly push the clouds that Mario creates, meaning that the player needs good timing and reaction to overcome this obstacle. Mario will also need to jump over giant drum barrels at one point and create clouds that float towards dangerous [[Spiky Plant]]s. [[Paragoomba]]s appear as common enemies in this level. This level is decorated with bushes that are shaped like animals.

===Starting Planets===
[[Image:SMG2 CloudFlowerProof.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Mario getting a Cloud Flower.]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
These small planetoids have bushes, flowers, cloud platforms and Cloud Flowers. The player must use the Cloud Flowers wisely to get across the large gap. There is also a [[Life Mushroom]] to the far right, above a cloud platform, and a [[? Coin]] above one of the floating [[Used Block]]s that makes [[Coin]]s appear.
[[File:SMG2 Cloudy Court Starting Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario on the {{conjectural|Starting Planets|planets}}.]]
[[File:SMG2 Cloudy Drums.png|thumb|200px|left|Mario on the drum planets.]]
The Starting Planet is divided into several smaller areas. These small planetoids have bushes, topiary, flowers, cloud platforms and [[Cloud Flower]]s. The player must use the Cloud Flowers wisely to get across the large gap. There is also a [[Life Mushroom]] to the far right, above a cloud platform, and a [[? Coin]] above one of the floating [[Empty Block]]s that makes [[coin]]s appear. On the other side, there is a large windmill which creates an air current in the direction of some floating percussion instruments. The player must hop up the three drums and reach the [[Launch Star]] located on a cymbal.
{{br}}


==={{conjecturaltext|Windy Windmill Planet|planet}}===
===Ruined Towers Planets===
This planet has a giant fan that looks like a windmill, along with a Paragoomba. A [[Whittle]] here can give Mario or [[Luigi]] a hint about what to do, which is making a cloud to ride in the wind across to the next area.
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG2 Cloudy Court Ruined Tower Planets.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario approaching the {{conjectural|Ruined Towers Planets|planets}}.]]
The first tower has a [[Checkpoint Flag]], a [[Hungry Luma]] that asks for 30 [[coin]]s, and a [[Cloud Flower]]. The player can use the vent to travel upwards on a cloud that they can create. However, the player must dodge wooden obstacles to prevent falling back down. At the top there is an [[Elite Octoomba]], [[Goomba]], [[Teleporter (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|Teleporter]], [[springboard]]s, and another giant fan that blows a current towards the next planet. The third tower has two more Goombas and an Elite Octoomba along with a [[? Block]] and a [[Launch Star]]. There is a secret area in the middle with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] and a [[Cloud Flower]]. A small [[black hole]] is seen below the second planet.
{{br}}


==={{conjecturaltext|Instrument Planets|planets}}===
===Castle Wall Planet===
This area consists of small planetoids shaped like giant instruments. Drums will make Mario bounce very high. A Cloud Flower, two [[Goomba (Super Mario World)|Round Goomba]]s, Coins, and another ? Coin can be found here. If Mario [[Ground Pound]]s on the cymbals, [[Star Bits]] will appear.
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG2 Cloudy Court Castle Wall Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario approaching the {{conjectural|Castle Wall Planet|planet}}.]]
This is a rather large, side-scrolling planet. The background is shaped like a castle wall, hence its name. At the beginning of the planet is a Checkpoint Flag. The player must utilize the Cloud Flower to make a cloud to ride up to the top of the wall using the wind, avoiding prickly plants. Then they must ride the wind to cross a gap on a cloud to two walls, being careful not to touch the prickly plants below. Then, the player must use the [[Wall Jump]] technique to climb up the two walls. If the player strategically uses clouds and jumps to go up to the left, they find three 1-Ups. They have to cross another gap with more prickly plants below to get to two crushing walls. In the middle of these walls are another Cloud Flower and the [[Comet Medal]]. The player must use the wind to ride up to the top, timing it correctly so they are not crushed by the walls. At the top there is a giant windmill and a [[Power Star]]. The windmill tries to push the player away from the Power Star and into a wall of even more prickly plants.
{{br}}


==={{conjecturaltext|Upward Vent Planet|planet}}===
===Purple Pond===
A planet with a [[Midway Point|Checkpoint Flag]], [[Hungry Luma]] and a [[Cloud Flower]]. Cloud Mario can use the vent to travel upwards on a cloud that he can create. However, the plumber must dodge wooden obstacles to prevent falling back down. At the top there is an [[Elite Octoomba]], [[Goomba]], [[Teleporter (Bonus Stage)|Teleporter]], [[Spring]]s, and another giant fan.
[[File:SMG2 Cloudy Court Purple Pond Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Luigi flying above the Purple Pond.]]
This bowl-shaped planet has a Checkpoint Flag and several clouds floating over [[dark matter]]. The player must get all the [[Silver Star]]s on the planet to get a Power Star. The music from [[Flip-Swap Galaxy]] plays on this planet. [[Cosmic Clone]]s and [[Paragoomba]]s make the mission more challenging. A Cosmic Clone appears when a silver star is collected. Hitting a clone removes the player's cloud power, causing them to fall in the dark matter.


==={{conjecturaltext|Cloudy Court Bonus Planet|planet}}===
This planet is named in the third mission, [[Silver Stars in the Purple Pond]].
This planet is a grassy, hexagon shaped planet, like most bonus planets. The player must use the Teleporter to get here. There are seven Paragoombas that have to be defeated within the time limit in order to get three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. After a certain amount of time, Mario will be transported back to the Teleporter.
{{br}}


==={{conjecturaltext|Sky Tower Planet|planet}}===
===Cosmic Platforms Planet===
This planet has two more Goombas and an Elite Octoomba along with a [[? Block]] and a [[Launch Star]]. There is a secret area in the middle with a 1-Up Mushroom and a Cloud Flower.
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG2 Cloudy Court Cosmic Platforms Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario standing on some Cosmic Platforms.]]
These small planetoids are only present during [[The Shadow Lining]] mission. [[Cosmic Platform]]s are seen floating around these planets. There are five [[Star Chip]]s located on this planet, which form a [[Launch Star]] once all pieces have been collected. This planet is in the same place where the [[#Ruined Towers Planets|Ruined Towers Planets]] were.

It is a long sidescroller planet. The background is shaped like a castle wall, hence its name. At the beginning of the planet is a Checkpoint Flag. Cloud Mario must make a cloud to ride up to the top of the wall using the wind, avoiding Spiky Plants. Then he must ride the wind across a gap on a cloud to two walls, being careful not to touch the Spiky Plants below. Then Mario must use the [[Wall Jump]] to climb up the two walls. If the player strategically  uses clouds and jumps to go up to the left, they will find three 1-Ups. Mario will have to cross another gap with more spiky plants below to get to two crushing walls. In the middle of these walls are another Cloud Flower and the [[Comet Coin]]. Mario must use the wind to ride up to the top, timing it correctly to not get crushed by the walls. At the top there is a giant fan and a [[Power Star]]. The fan tries to push the player away from the Power Star and into a wall of even more Spiky Plants.

Cloudy Court Galaxy is a galaxy in World 3 of Super Mario Galaxy 2. The galaxy takes place in the sky and is similar to Gusty Garden Galaxy from the first game. This galaxy, along with Fluffy Bluff Galaxy, makes prominent use of the new Cloud Mario powerup via Cloud Flower. Mario needs to use his new power to create clouds to cross the gaps in the galaxy. However, strong winds slowly push the clouds that Mario creates, meaning that the player needs good timing and reaction to overcome this obstacle. Mario also needs to jump over giant drum barrels at one point and create clouds that float towards dangerous prickly plants. Paragoombas appear as common enemies in this level. This level is decorated with bushes that are shaped like animals.

Planets[edit]

Starting Planets[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 Starting Planets.
Mario on the drums in the Cloudy Court Galaxy
Mario on the drum planets.

The Starting Planet is divided into several smaller areas. These small planetoids have bushes, topiary, flowers, cloud platforms and Cloud Flowers. The player must use the Cloud Flowers wisely to get across the large gap. There is also a Life Mushroom to the far right, above a cloud platform, and a ? Coin above one of the floating Empty Blocks that makes coins appear. On the other side, there is a large windmill which creates an air current in the direction of some floating percussion instruments. The player must hop up the three drums and reach the Launch Star located on a cymbal.

Ruined Towers Planets[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 approaching the Ruined Towers Planets.

The first tower has a Checkpoint Flag, a Hungry Luma that asks for 30 coins, and a Cloud Flower. The player can use the vent to travel upwards on a cloud that they can create. However, the player must dodge wooden obstacles to prevent falling back down. At the top there is an Elite Octoomba, Goomba, Teleporter, springboards, and another giant fan that blows a current towards the next planet. The third tower has two more Goombas and an Elite Octoomba along with a ? Block and a Launch Star. There is a secret area in the middle with a 1-Up Mushroom and a Cloud Flower. A small black hole is seen below the second planet.

Castle Wall 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.

Mario approaching the Castle Wall Planet.

This is a rather large, side-scrolling planet. The background is shaped like a castle wall, hence its name. At the beginning of the planet is a Checkpoint Flag. The player must utilize the Cloud Flower to make a cloud to ride up to the top of the wall using the wind, avoiding prickly plants. Then they must ride the wind to cross a gap on a cloud to two walls, being careful not to touch the prickly plants below. Then, the player must use the Wall Jump technique to climb up the two walls. If the player strategically uses clouds and jumps to go up to the left, they find three 1-Ups. They have to cross another gap with more prickly plants below to get to two crushing walls. In the middle of these walls are another Cloud Flower and the Comet Medal. The player must use the wind to ride up to the top, timing it correctly so they are not crushed by the walls. At the top there is a giant windmill and a Power Star. The windmill tries to push the player away from the Power Star and into a wall of even more prickly plants.

Purple Pond[edit]

Luigi flying above the Purple Pond.

This bowl-shaped planet has a Checkpoint Flag and several clouds floating over dark matter. The player must get all the Silver Stars on the planet to get a Power Star. The music from Flip-Swap Galaxy plays on this planet. Cosmic Clones and Paragoombas make the mission more challenging. A Cosmic Clone appears when a silver star is collected. Hitting a clone removes the player's cloud power, causing them to fall in the dark matter.

This planet is named in the third mission, Silver Stars in the Purple Pond.

Cosmic Platforms 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.

Mario standing on some Cosmic Platforms.

These small planetoids are only present during The Shadow Lining mission. Cosmic Platforms are seen floating around these planets. There are five Star Chips located on this planet, which form a Launch Star once all pieces have been collected. This planet is in the same place where the Ruined Towers Planets were.
