This planet looks like a giant multicolored tennis ball with numerous paintbrushes protruding from the ground. The planet is split up into four sections with four distinct colors: red, yellow, blue, and green. The hole is always located on the red section, but is blocked and needs a key to open it. During the [[#Silver Chomp Grudge Match|Silver Chomp Grudge Match]] mission, the key is located in the green section. However, during the [[#Masterpiece Speed Run|Masterpiece Speed Run]] mission, the key is found in the blue section. The only enemies located here are [[Goomba]]s.

The Tamakoro Pole Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref> is a giant multicolored wooden ball with numerous paintbrushes protruding from the ground. The planet is split up into four sections with four distinct colors: red, yellow, blue, and green. The hole is always located on the red section, but is blocked and needs a key to open it. During the [[Silver Chomp Grudge Match]] mission, the key is located in the green section. However, during the [[Masterpiece Speed Run]] mission, the key is found in the blue section.

===Tamakoro Flip Panel Planet===
[[Image:RMG2.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Mario on the Palette Planet.]]
The Tamakoro Flip Panel Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref> is a lengthy platforming section on top of a bottomless pit, formed by several unconnected structures.
As its name implies, this planet looks like a circular painting palette. It only has a [[Midway Point]] and space junk that leads Mario to the elevator of the Flip Switch Planet. Towards the left side of the space junk there is a [[1-up Mushroom]].
<br clear=all>


==={{conjecturaltext|Flipswitch Planet|planet}}===
Mario first lands in the center of a circular, flower-shaped painting palette where the [[Checkpoint Flag]] is found. The paint in each well around the platform is a solid block of color. To the north of the palette, Mario will find [[Assembly Block]]s that connect it to an elevator with a few Goombas. Towards the left side of the Assembly Blocks, there is a [[1-Up Mushroom]].
[[Image:RMG3.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Mario on the Flipswitch Planet.]]
When the player first goes to this planet they will find some [[Goomba]]s attacking the plumber. The elevator will slowly move upwards while the Goombas, if not ridden of, will continue ramming into the Star Ball. On top is an area with six [[Flipswitch]]es. The player will need to activate all the switches to activate a path that will lead the player to either the Wooden Planet or Green Holes Planet, depending on the mission.
<br clear=all>


==={{conjecturaltext|Wooden Planet|planet}}===
Once Mario rolls onto the elevator, it moves upward along an iron grid wall. Atop this wall, the player will encounter six [[Flipswitch Panel]]s in a triangular formation. Activating them all creates a bridge (a giant ruler) to the last stretch of the planet, five giant rolls of colored tape in a stack. The hole in the middle of the top one is a Star Ball launcher, which will take the player to either the Tamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet or the Tamakoro Hole Bomb Hei Planet, depending on which mission the player is currently in.

This planet, as the name implies, is made of wood. It only appears during the [[#Silver Chomp Grudge Match|Silver Chomp Grudge Match]], [[#Green Star 1|Green Star 1]], and [[#Green Star 2|Green Star 2]] missions. Like in [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]], [[Grinder (obstacle)|Grinders]] will cut the wooden platforms as time progresses. The [[Comet Medal]] is also located on this planet. The Wooden Planet has a big white ruler that leads Mario to the [[Silver Chomp]] Planet. Several enemies are encountered here, such as [[Goomba]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s.

The planet is made up of six colored pencils. After the [[Silver Chomp]] is defeated, a platform leading to the planet will appear. The only thing of importance here is the goal which releases the [[Power Star]] from the [[Star Ball]] so the player can obtain it.

To complete this mission, the player first needs to get on the [[Star Ball]] on the Starting Planet. Then, they have to use the hole to blast to the Paintbrush Planet. Here, they will find a hole protected by a shield. The key to disable it is found on the green section. After using the hole, the player will end up on the Palette Planet. Here, they must use the elevator to get to the Flipswitch Planet.

Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy is a galaxy appearing in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. The galaxy completely revolves around the use of a Star Ball which Mario must ride on. Buzz saws will cut out pieces of the stage as time passes by and Goombas may be a nuisance. Bob-ombs also appear as enemies here, which can be both beneficial or detrimental to the player, depending on the situation. The galaxy's theme revolves around art and school supplies such as rulers and paintbrushes, used as platforms or obstacles. This galaxy is the first appearance of the Star Ball in this game.

Planets[edit]

Tamakoro Planet Start Planet[edit]

Mario on the Starting Planet in the Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy
Mario on the Start Planet.

The Tamakoro Planet Start Planet[1] is a grass field with some flowers. It has a Star Ball and a board named Bill Board whom tells the player how to control the Star Ball on their first visit. The only thing of importance on this planet is the hole that launches the player to the next planet. It is a reference to a planet seen in Rolling Green Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy.

Tamakoro Pole Planet[edit]

Mario on the Paintbrush Planet in the Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy

The gate being unlocked on the Tamakoro Pole Planet.

The Tamakoro Pole Planet[1] is a giant multicolored wooden ball with numerous paintbrushes protruding from the ground. The planet is split up into four sections with four distinct colors: red, yellow, blue, and green. The hole is always located on the red section, but is blocked and needs a key to open it. During the Silver Chomp Grudge Match mission, the key is located in the green section. However, during the Masterpiece Speed Run mission, the key is found in the blue section. The only enemies located here are Goombas. If Mario spins the cursor over the planet, he will get a lot of Star Bits.

Tamakoro Flip Panel Planet[edit]

The Tamakoro Flip Panel Planet[1] is a lengthy platforming section on top of a bottomless pit, formed by several unconnected structures.

Mario first lands in the center of a circular, flower-shaped painting palette where the Checkpoint Flag is found. The paint in each well around the platform is a solid block of color. To the north of the palette, Mario will find Assembly Blocks that connect it to an elevator with a few Goombas. Towards the left side of the Assembly Blocks, there is a 1-Up Mushroom.

Once Mario rolls onto the elevator, it moves upward along an iron grid wall. Atop this wall, the player will encounter six Flipswitch Panels in a triangular formation. Activating them all creates a bridge (a giant ruler) to the last stretch of the planet, five giant rolls of colored tape in a stack. The hole in the middle of the top one is a Star Ball launcher, which will take the player to either the Tamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet or the Tamakoro Hole Bomb Hei Planet, depending on which mission the player is currently in.

Tamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet[edit]

Mario on the Tamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet.

The Tamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet[1] is a long, curved plank of wood with holes and few guardrails. Like in Puzzle Plank Galaxy, buzz saws will cut the wooden platforms as time progresses. Goombas and Bob-ombs are encountered here, as well as the Comet Medal. This planet ends with ruler bridge (identical to the one in the previous planet) that leads Mario to the Homing Chomp.

Tamakoro Hole Bomb Hei Planet[edit]

Mario on the Green Holes Planet.

The Tamakoro Hole Bomb Hei Planet[1] is only visited during the Masterpiece Speed Run mission, replacing the Tamakoro Garigari Cylinder Planet. It is a long, flat, green planet with many holes in it. The only enemies here are Bob-ombs. The player will be blasted to the Tamakoro Vs Search Wanwan Planet at the end. It is based on a planet in Rolling Green Galaxy from the first game.

Tamakoro Vs Search Wanwan Planet[edit]

Mario on the Tamakoro Vs Search Wanwan Planet.

Mario on the path to the final platform.

The Tamakoro Vs Search Wanwan Planet[1] is where the player fights the Homing Chomp. Four cylinders on the corners of the square arena protrude from the ground, which makes knocking the Homing Chomp more difficult. Once the Chomp is defeated, a third ruler bridge will be revealed, taking Mario to the end of the mission.

This last area is six giant colored pencils pointed down. The middle one holds the Star Ball goal, which releases the Power Star. Mario must then climb the pole nearby to grab it.
