Grandmaster Galaxy

Template:Galaxybox Grandmaster Galaxy is the final galaxy that appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The galaxy is located in World S. This galaxy is unlocked when the player gets all 240 Stars, just like Grand Finale Galaxy in the first game. It is an obstacle course with puzzles and enemies. This galaxy contains two Stars: one for completing the level and another one for doing it again under Daredevil Comet conditions. In the latter case the player gets the Star from Rosalina.

Mario and Yoshi in the Flower Grapple Planet.

The first area is where Mario must use Yoshi to swing on the flower grapples to reach the Launch Star. There are several obstacles along the way, such as Mines and Bullet Bills. Paragoombas also appear in the first mission; they are replaced by Choppahs in the second mission. A Toad can also be found on this planet who will shout Yoshi's name when talked to.

The Platform Planets.

This area contains planets that are made up of many platforms that have electric walls moving through them. Also, platforms that shrink and platforms that move when Mario spins appear here too. Octopuses do pop up along the way. Electric force field devices are also found here. Mario must avoid all obstacles and reach the Launch Star at the end.

The Pull Star Area.

An area with a lot of electricity. In the beginning, there are some blocks with electricity on them. Later, there is a long segment of Pull Stars where Mario must avoid the electricity, mines, and Paragoombas to get to the end, where he finds a Launch Star. The 3 figures from Shiverburn Galaxy appear here.

The Hammer Bro Planets.

This planet is highly infested with Hammer Bros., and Mario has to get past them to reach the other side. Flimps are also present in this area.

The ending platform has three Boomerang Bros. that Mario must take out. Defeating them reveals a Power Star (or a Launch Star in the Daredevil run).

The Comet Medal for this galaxy is on the far right side of these planets, next to some platforms (as shown on the screenshot).

Trivia

• This is the only galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2 to not encounter the green stars. This is primarily because the player had to collect all the green stars to unlock this galaxy.
• This is the only galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2 that requires the player to collect Star Bits in addition to collecting the Comet Medal for a Prankster Comet to appear.
• This is one of the few galaxies in Super Mario Galaxy 2 to have music from the previous game.
• There is a glitch in the Hammer Bros. planet that immobilizes the hammer bros. If the player uses Yoshi's Infinite Flutter Jump Glitch to reach the Hammer Bros. Planet with Yoshi, all they have to do is get very high up (by Infinite Flutter Jumping), then just infinite Flutter Jump forwards until Yoshi's Shadow is seen on the 3 Boomerang Bros.'s platform. When the player lands, the Haamer Bros. and Boomerang Bros. will not move
