(→Trivia: These 2 pieces of information contradict what's in the video reference. For the former, see timestamp 1:35 for a losing scenario. For the latter, see 0:43 for the beginning of the section that normally requires star chips. Maybe the star chip thing was changed by the original mod developer (linked in the ref's description, at https://youtu.be/2OFp6xI2IH0), but that's just speculation. Regardless, these are true in that video too.) Tag: Mobile edit |

Cosmic Mario is a character that appears in Super Mario Galaxy. He is a galactic clone of Mario and thus copies his physical appearance, though he is colored blue with multiple stars and has a higher-pitched voice than his normal counterpart.
Cosmic Mario appears when a Cosmic Comet is orbiting a galaxy. Upon the player entering, Cosmic Mario appears at the beginning of the mission and challenges the player to a race. In order to complete the mission, the player must reach the Power Star before Cosmic Mario does. If Cosmic Mario reaches the Power Star first, the player loses a life and must restart the race. Colliding with Cosmic Mario during the race causes him to release Star Bits.
Luigi also has a cosmic clone, Cosmic Luigi, who replaces Cosmic Mario if the player is playing as Luigi. Unlike Cosmic Mario, Cosmic Luigi takes advantage of shortcuts more often and uses a large number of long jumps, making him more difficult to beat.
At the start of a race, if the player holds 
up, then 
when the timer reaches "2," and then hits 
just as the race starts, Mario or Luigi gets a Start Dash, shown by a yellow color appearing on Mario or Luigi, shrinking gradually as a marker at the end of this effect.
