Bonefin Galaxy

Template:Galaxybox The Bonefin Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. This galaxy, like the Drip Drop Galaxy, is basically a large body of water with a solid core. However, unlike the Drip Drop Galaxy, this galaxy has a large, spiky shell shielding most of it. This galaxy is home to Kingfin, a gigantic skeletal shark that Mario must defeat to earn a Power Star.

To unlock this Galaxy, the player must have at least 55 stars and have the Drip Drop Galaxy fully completed.

Planets

Starshroom

When Mario first enters the galaxy, he will start out on a green Starshroom near the Kingfin Planet. There are several Star Bits on its underside and a Launch Star on the top of it will take Mario to the Kingfin Planet.

Kingfin's Planet

When Mario lands on this planet, Kingfin will appear along with Fishbones and attack Mario. After Kingfin is deafeated, the Power Star appears.

In the first and only level, Mario must defeat Kingfin by attacking him with Red or Green Shells. After Kingfin takes one hit, he will summon hoardes of Fishbones that will home in on Mario's position to attack him. Once Kingfin has been hit a total of five times, he will crumble and release a Power Star.
