| ''Super Mario Galaxy'' is set in [[space|outer space]]. With the exception of [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], which is [[Princess Peach]]'s [[Castle Grounds]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], all levels – refered to as "galaxies" in this game – are staged on worlds far removed from [[Mario]]'s [[Earth|home planet]]. This is the first entry in the [[Super Mario (series)|series]] to explicitly include an [[Space Zone|outer space setting]] since ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', and the first time it has been realized by the core ''Super Mario'' team at [[Nintendo EAD]].<ref name=iwata/> A galaxy is an isolated cluster of small planets and other planetary bodies. Some are shaped like spheres, but many are not. Most planets have their own [[Gravity|gravitational pull]], which prevents Mario from falling down [[bottomless pit]]s and enables him to return to his starting position if he just keeps moving forward. Mario's movement, physics, and trajectory bend organically around the planet's shape.<ref name=montreal/><ref name=jasper/> Because they have their own pull, most planets can be directly traveled between just by [[jump]]ing. Otherwise they can be reached via stellate objects called [[Launch Star]]s and [[Pull Star]]s. Not all planets have their own unique gravity: some are shaped like the more traditional courses of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and the gravitational pull is below their mass, but this is conveyed through context.<ref name=jasper/>

| The theme of space is communicated in various ways throughout ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Many galaxies include distant asteroid belts or views of massive, unreachable planets orbiting suns that peak over their horizons. Depending on the distance from the game's [[camera]], the light from a visible sun retracts, mimicking the behavior of real sunlight. The {{wp|Skybox (video games)|skyboxes}} of the galaxies feature nebulas, auroras, and starry skies. Three-dimensional objects – including Mario himself – exhibit a soft glow in certain positions as if struck by the light from distant stars. [[Black hole]]s occur in place of bottomless pits in many galaxies. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' includes some motifs derivative of {{wp|science fiction}}, such as [[Gearmo|humanoid robots]], fortified battle facilities, [[UFO]]s, and starships. Much of the game's setting include whimsical, tranquil, and surreal elements comparable to those found in children's books.<ref name=wired>Chris Kohler.

| According to director [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], the inception for ''Super Mario Galaxy'' was to create a ''Super Mario'' game with spherical worlds. It was thought that these worlds would make it less likely for players to get disoriented or have to reposition the camera. These were issues he observed during the development of ''Super Mario 64'', ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', and ''Super Mario Sunshine'' that prevented complete immersion.<ref name=montreal>[[Yoshiaki Koizumi]].

|
| |
| In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', levels are accessed inside of [[dome]]s on the [[Comet Observatory]]. They are spatially distributed across the hub, similar to the access points for levels in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. However, with the exception of the [[Garden (Super Mario Galaxy)|Garden]], each dome contains a set of five different galaxies instead of just one dedicated course. Domes are unlocked unilaterally as the player completes certain criteria. These make the domes homologous to the worlds of the 2D [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' games]] like ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, as in its 3D predecessors, the player is not restricted to linear course progression in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
| |
|
| |
| Each galaxy contains objectives referred to as missions. Completing a mission has [[Mario]] acquire one of the galaxy's [[Power Star]]s, the same tokens used in ''Super Mario 64'' for unlocking levels. One mission correlates with one Power Star. The start of each mission has a brief cinematic preview of the galaxy that hints at the location of the Power Star, as was similarly done in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. Once a specified number of Power Stars has been accumulated, a new galaxy becomes unlockable at the player's discretion. Only half of the Power Stars in the game are required for progression. The minimum number of Power Stars needed to access the game's final level is 60 in a game that contains 120 total. Consequently, a player who completes as many missions as possible within one dome may unlock all the galaxies within the next all at once when they enter it for the first time.
| |
|
| |
| Every dome has a [[Pull Star]] at its center. Entering the Pull Star brings Mario to an interactive selection screen of all the dome's galaxies. The galaxies orbit around the Pull Star (the {{wp|Origin (mathematics)|origin}}; see right). The display is directly comparable to models of solar systems, with each galaxy following a circular trajectory around the Pull Star. The distance of these orbital lines from the Pull Star has a positive correlation with the number of Power Stars required to unlock the galaxies and a negative correlation with the number of mission available within them. (i.e. The galaxies closest to the origin typically have the greatest number of missions and require the lowest number of Power Stars to unlock. The farthest ones contain the fewest and are the easiest to unlock.) Using the [[Terrace (Super Mario Galaxy)|Terrace]] as an example, a dome contains three different types of galaxies:
| |
|
| |
| *"'''Robust galaxies'''" that contain at least six missions. They either feature a high number of visitable planets or a small selection of large planets to explore. The missions build off of each other environmentally or narratively. (i.e. The events that occur in one mission foreshadow the events of the subsequent mission.) Two or more of the six missions typically involves a boss battle. Most domes contain two or three of these galaxies, and they are all listed together on the first page of the in-game [[Star List]]. They are the only galaxies orbited by [[Prankster Comet]]s. The robust galaxies of the Terrace are [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and [[Honeyhive Galaxy]].
| |
| *"'''Mystery galaxies'''" that each contain one mission. Before being unlocked, they are represented by course preview models shaped like [[? Block]]s. These galaxies are highly distinctive in theme and mission. Some of them entail minigames like [[Ray Surfing]] or [[Star Ball]]. Others are athletic obstacle courses. Mystery galaxies usually require completing a certain mission in another galaxy in addition to accumulating a specific number of Power Stars to unlock. Each dome contains one or two mystery galaxies. In the Terrace, they are [[Loopdeeloop Galaxy]] and [[Flipswitch Galaxy]].
| |
| *"'''Boss galaxies'''" that each contain one mission. They feature linear obstacle courses that lead to a boss battle. Half of them involve [[Bowser Jr.]], either directly or as the inciter for another boss to go after Mario. The other half feature [[Bowser]] himself. With the exception of the Garden, each dome contains one boss galaxy and it is always on the outermost ring in the dome. Completing the mission in these galaxies is a criterion needed to unlock a subsequent dome and is required for game progression. They have the highest or second highest Power Star threshold. The preview model in orbit resembles a bust of Bowser’s head with glowing eyes. The boss galaxy in the Terrace is [[Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor]].

| [[File:SMG Screenshot Hungry Luma on the Comet Observatory.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A [[Hungry Luma]] outside the Terrace, almost completely stuffed with Star Bits. Feeding it the requested number of Star Bits makes the Luma transform into a wholly new galaxy.]]
| |
| There are galaxies accessible outside of the domes. With the exception of [[Gateway Galaxy]], these ones can also be categorized as mystery or boss galaxies. Most of them are unlocked by feeding [[Hungry Luma]]s a requested number of [[Star Bit]]s. These Lumas appear on the Comet Observatory once certain criteria are met within the dome galaxies (see chart below). There is a Hungry Luma associated with every dome, essentially functioning as an extra level for each one. A tiny house called the [[Gate]] rests on a grassy platform orbiting the observatory. It grants Mario access to Gateway Galaxy. This galaxy is the first level of the game, but it can only be revisited via the Gate once "[[King Kaliente's Spicy Return]]" is completed. Though it is not a dome, there is a Hungry Luma associated with it as well. A planetoid called the [[Planet of Trials]] orbits the observatory and has three galaxies of its own. It becomes reachable once all three of the secret [[Green Star]]s have been collected. [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] is reached on the planetoid after meeting [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]] is only reachable by speaking to [[Rosalina]] after 60 Power Stars have been collected.
| |
|
| |
| Mario encounters [[Luigi]] in four galaxies: Good Egg Galaxy, Honeyhive Galaxy, [[Battlerock Galaxy]], and [[Ghostly Galaxy]]. In Ghostly Galaxy, Luigi is at the end of the "[[Luigi and the Haunted Mansion]]" mission and will give Mario a Power Star when reached. After Luigi is rescued, he can be seen in the observatory and helps Mario collect Power Stars. When Luigi appears in subsequent galaxies, Mario receives a letter from him asking for help. A picture that hints at his location is included with each letter. Finding him within a galaxy awards Mario with a secret Power Star.
| |
|
| |
| There are 42 dedicated galaxies in the game. Of this total 15 are robust galaxies, 20 are mystery galaxies, and 6 are boss galaxies. If the Comet Observatory, its [[Library (Super Mario Galaxy)|library]], and its individual domes are considered individual levels than the true total number is 50. Some galaxies have tiny otherworldly subareas reached via [[Warp Pipe]] that contain an interactive side objective. If each of these areas were to be considered levels as well, then the true number would be even higher. The chart below lists the galaxies of the game roughly as they are listed on the Star List. Each galaxy is given a brief description, an in-game screenshot, a list of all of their missions, and granular details. There is a legend at the bottom of the chart that explains how the galaxies are organized and what the symbols in it used represent.

Galaxies accessed by feeding [[Hungry Luma]]s are not located within domes and are denoted by [[File:SMG2 Asset Sprite UI Hungry Luma.png|14px]]. Trial Galaxies lack numerical designation because they are unlocked concurrently and can be accessed in any order.

The name of each mission is accompanied by a symbol that indicates what type of mission it is and the type of Power Star obtained. [[File:smg_icon_powerstar.png|14px]] denotes a normal mission; [[File:smg_icon_grandstar.png|14px]] denotes a [[Grand Star]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_greenstar.png|14px]] denotes a [[Green Star]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_redstar.png|14px]] denotes a [[Red Star]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_speedycomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#Speedy Comet|Speedy Comet]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_daredevilcomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#Daredevil Comet|Daredevil Comet]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_cosmiccomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic Comet|Cosmic Comet]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_fastfoecomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#SFast-Foe Comet|Fast-Foe Comet]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_purplecomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#Purple Comet|Purple Comet]] mission; and [[File:SMG Asset Sprite LS Secret Star.png|14px]] denotes an intramissionary Secret Star.

| ===Prankster Comets===
| |
| {{main|Prankster Comet}}
| |
|
| |
| Prankster Comets are objects that interfere with a galaxy and give it an extra attribute. The 30 [[Prankster Comet|Comet Star]]s are obtained by completing special challenges in the robust galaxies, namely speed runs; "daredevil" runs (in which Mario is defeated if he takes a single hit); races against [[Cosmic Mario]]; and doubling the speed of enemies and obstacles. They only appear after the corresponding normal mission (e.g. Ghostly Galaxy's "Beware of Bouldergeist") is completed, sometimes immediately, and at other times, only after another galaxy's level is completed. Prankster Comets appear and disappear every other time a mission is completed. After a mission is completed while a Prankster Comet is active, all the Prankster Comets are removed until a second mission is beaten. In some cases, such as in Space Junk Galaxy, all normal missions within a galaxy have to be beaten first before a comet can appear. There are two Prankster Comets in each of the 15 robust galaxies: one of the comet types just described, plus a [[Prankster Comet#Purple Comet|Purple Comet]] where [[Mario]] must collect 100 [[Purple Coin]]s. These comets only begin to appear after "The Fate of the Universe" is completed at least once. Which and where Prankster Comets appear can be manipulated by feeding [[Comet Tico]] 20 [[Star Bit]]s.

| [[File:SMG Comet Observatory Bedroom Overview.png|x180px|thumb||right|The Comet Observatory as viewed from a circular platform by the [[Bedroom (Super Mario Galaxy)|Bedroom]].]]
| |
|
| |
| The Comet Observatory is the hub world in the game. It is a bridge between [[dome]]s and serves as a place for the player to rest in between missions.<ref name=quiet/> It is a sprawling structure similar to a palace, with a tall middle spire and ornamental architecture. These attributes visually make it reminiscent of [[Princess Peach's Castle]], the hub of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. The core of the observatory is a comet called the [[beacon]] that it is fueled by [[Power Star]]s. The beacon is what allows the Comet Observatory to travel through space, but it remains in orbit around [[Earth|Mario's home planet]] throughout most of the game. The observatory has two extraplanetary satellites: the [[Planet of Trials]] and a grassy platform that holds the [[Gate]]. The platform is directly anchored to the observatory via [[Warp Pad]]s and can be considered a direct extension of it, unlike the Planet of Trials.

|
| |
| Including Gateway Galaxy, there are 9 galaxies directly accessed from the Comet Observatory. Six of these galaxies come from the [[Hungry Luma]]s affiliated with each dome. Unlike the hub worlds of ''Super Mario Galaxy'''s predecessors, there are no hidden Power Stars directly found on the observatory, though accessing the Planet of Trials, entering the Gate, and the arrival of Hungry Lumas are framed similarly. Five [[1-Up Mushroom]]s are hidden in the observatory. Most of the observatory is obscured by darkness when Mario first arrives due to the abduction of its Power Stars and only the [[Terrace (Super Mario Galaxy)|Terrace]] can be accessed. As Mario collects Power Stars, energy is restored to the observatory and new areas become lit to convey that they are now accessible. Warp Pads dot the Comet Observatory. They can be used to quickly reach adjacent locations on the hub. A [[Red Star]] appears above the [[Bedroom (Super Mario Galaxy)|Bedroom]] once Mario completes "[[Gateway's Purple Coins]]". Touching it transforms him into [[Flying Mario]] and allows him to soar through the skies of the observatory. There is nothing on the observatory that can harm Mario, and he will safely be transported back to solid ground if he falls of its edge.

| [[File:SMG Library Mario Cutscene.png|x100px|thumb||left|Scene from the introductory cutscene that plays when Mario enters the [[Library (Super Mario Galaxy)|library]] after a new chapter has been unlocked.]]
| |
| The Comet Observatory is a nursey ground for [[Luma (species)|Luma]]s. They are cared for by [[Rosalina]], who treats them as if they were her children. As light is restored to the observatory, more and more Lumas appear. It was built by Rosalina when she was a child with an [[Luma (character)|apricot-colored Luma]]. Over time, as more Lumas arrived and needed care, she expanded its size. The Comet Observatory visits Mario's home world once every hundred years, which is celebrated in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] as the [[Star Festival]]. When the beacon is at its maximum size, Rosalina can make the observatory fold into the shape of a rocket ship and soar through the sky like a comet. The domes are framed as an extension of the observatory that provide a view of the cosmos. Each one is themed around rooms in a house, such as the bedroom, kitchen, and so on. There are two dedicated locations similar in concept that are not domes on the observatory: the [[Garage (Super Mario Galaxy)|garage]] and the [[Library (Super Mario Galaxy)|library]]. The garage is framed as an intergalactic repair shop that [[Starshroom|starships]] can dock to. This is where the [[Toad Brigade]] and [[Luigi]] establish themselves once "[[Bee Mario Takes Flight]]" and "[[Luigi and the Haunted Mansion]]", respectively, are completed.

|
| |
| The library is a closed off space behind the beacon that becomes accessible once "[[The Fiery Stronghold]]" is completed. Though entered like a dome, there are no galaxies here. It contains no collectibles or anything related to the rescue of [[Princess Peach]]. The are no tangible incentives for coming to the library, and the player is never forced to enter it. This is where Rosalina reads a [[Rosalina's Story|storybook]] to the Lumas. New chapters become available as Mario accumulates Power Stars. The book details her personal backstory, the history of the Comet Observatory, Luma behavior, and provides insight into the past of the apricot-colored Luma that travels with Mario. This part of the game was created by [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]] and included at the discretion of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. Rosalina's Story is noted for its heartfelt and melancholy elements.<ref name=wired/><ref name=quiet/> The illustrations on the pages have been likened to ''{{wp|The Little Prince}}''.<ref name=ruben/>
