This article is about the rooms from Super Mario Galaxy. For the world from Super Mario World, see Vanilla Dome. For the place in the Super Mario World television series, see Dome City. For the roof of Saint Joseph's Oratory in Mario is Missing!, see Dome of St. Joseph's Oratory.

“These round rooms are called domes. We observe galaxies from domes such as these.”
Rosalina, Super Mario Galaxy

Domes are rooms in Super Mario Galaxy located on the Comet Observatory. They are the equivalent of worlds in Super Mario side-scrollers. Here, Mario can transport himself to other galaxies. After Mario collects Power Stars, more galaxies appear. Using a blue Luma that turns into a Pull Star, Mario can view galaxies, and then using a Launch Star, he can fly to them. Most of the domes have five galaxies; the final one, the Garden, has only four.

Similar domes also appear in Rosalina's Ice World in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart Tour, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. In Mario Kart Tour, drivers can perform a Jump Boost by hitting the roof of these domes.

Trivia

  • Whenever a Bowser or Bowser Jr. level is shown in one of the domes, the revolving galaxy icon representing it always rotates around counterclockwise like the other galaxies, though at a noticeable angle, perhaps indicating that it is not supposed to be there, or was not there prior to the events of Super Mario Galaxy.
  • The background music in the domes changes once the player unlocks and selects a Bowser or Bowser Jr. galaxy for the first time. It stays that way until the player completes the level.
