Template:Galaxybox Puzzle Plank Galaxy is the first galaxy of World 2 in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The galaxy features wooden planks floating in a blue sky, that Mario can stand on them as platforms. However, some sections of these platforms are cut by Grinders that eventually remove a part of the plank that falls to the void. If the plumber stays on these platforms, he would lose a life, falling to the void. Some enemies such as Wigglers and Mandibugs can be found here as well as the prominent appearance of the Grinders.

The planet is split up into two sections. The top section is made up pf two large, wooden blocks connected by a wooden structure in the shape of an "H". Ground pounding the symbol on the "H" will take the player to the second portion of the planet. In this area, there are two Wigglers walking in a circular fashion. There are also four red switches, one in each of the corners. The bottom left contains Starbits. The upper left activates musical notes that will go in an inwards spiral motion. The notes will play the Super Mario World theme. The upper right has coins, and the bottom right switch reveals the Launch Star.

This planet has three pillars on it, each pounded on the other side of the planet. The player has to ground pound them again so he can access the Launch Star by using them. There are also Grinders along the sides and some Octogoombas scattered around the planet. There is also a Hungry Luma who wants 70 coins and a green Warp Pipe that leads into a room with a ? Coin, which will make many sets of 3 coins appear. If the player collects all coins before time runs out, he'll get a 1-Up. The player can also backflip and spin jump next to the Launch Star on the planet to activate it. This planet is also one of three planets that appear on the cover of Super Mario Galaxy 2.

This is not a planet, but rather a location only accessible during the Purple Coin Shadow Vault mission. It is located inside the Warp Pipe on the Pound Pillars Planet. The vault has a total of 100 Purple Coins, split up into 25 separate groups of four coins. Cosmic Clones are found in this area as well.

This planet is split up into several "parts", the entirety of it being infested with Grinders, Slurples, Flipbugs, and Mandibugs. The Grinders will activate when the player is in close proximity to them. These will cut out pieces of the level, creating gaps and making traversing the planet harder. However, some of the Grinders are needed to proceed through as they cut out pieces of the level that open the way to continuing. The Comet Medal is located in the light brown section where the player first lands.

To get the Power Star, the player has to make his way to the Picture Block Planet. To do so, they have to ground pound the star mark on the Starting Planet to make the platform fall into the planet bellow.

This planet has three pillars that can be found in the other side of the planet. The player will need to pound all of them to make the pillars rise on the other side. After getting back to the opposite side, the Launch Star can be used.
After the Launch Star blasts the player to the Grinder Planet, they have to make their way up to the next one. The player will need to be wary of the numerous Grinders cutting pieces of the level and the plethora of enemies found on this planet. When the Launch Star is found and used, the player will be launched to a planet with a Luma Shop and a checkpoint. When the player uses the Launch Star located on this planetoid, they will be taken to the final planet. On the Picture Block Planet, the player will need to rearrange the blocks to form the picture by ground pounding them. Once the picture is complete, two Mandibugs, one on top of the other, will appear and charge at the player. The player will need to take care of these pests before being able to get the Power Star.

Trivia
- The battle at the end of the Puzzling Picture Block level is extremely similar to the battle at the end of the Trouble on the Tower level in the Honeyhive Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy, as these two levels are the only levels between the two games where a little Mandibug stacked on top of a big one is fought at the end of the level.
- Oddly enough, once the Hungry Luma is fed 70 coins, it will transform into three planets rather than one: the Wood Island Planets as well as Bugaboom's Wooden Planet.
- In the E3 2009 trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Comet Medal in this galaxy is actually not present. A 1-Up Mushroom was on the platform instead.
- On the cover of Super Mario Galaxy 2, Dash Yoshi is seen running around the Pound Pillars Planet in this galaxy, despite the fact that neither Yoshi nor Dash Peppers ever appear in this galaxy at all.
