The Starship Mario.

Starship Mario is a Mario-head-shaped planet in Super Mario Galaxy 2 used to travel across the universe. Although notably smaller than the previous games' hub areas, it serves as the hub of the game and has, more or less, replaced the Comet Observatory from the first game. Other than its smaller size, another difference from the Observatory is that it also has changing backgrounds, the appearance of which depend on the world that it is currently in.

While on the Starship, Mario is capable of exploring and interacting with various non-playable characters, including Lubba and the Assist Luma. There are few characters there at the star but Other characters, like Hungry Lumas, he Toad Brigade, Bob-omb Buddies and even Rosalina will appear as certain stars are collected or special conditions are met. Much like Delfino Plaza from Super Mario Sunshine, Mario can also ride Yoshi here, and the egg which contains him is located on the "nose" of the starship after collecting a star in Yoshi Galaxy. Other power-ups appear appear, both in a display case and out for use, after certain stars featuring their use are met. New areas are also added in much the same way, most coming with various characters or power ups and almost all of them offer at leas one 1-up Mushroom.

The starship's main purpose, though, is to allow Mario to travel between and select galaxies to visit. To leave the starship and go to the world map, one must step up to a ship's wheel near the top, in front of which is a small weight-activated button. When pressed, the button sends the player to the world map, from where they can select galaxies.

1-Up Mushroom Locations

Below are the locations of every 1-Up Mushroom on Starship Mario.

  • Near the Starshroom.
  • The player must use Yoshi and swing on the flower grapples to go up to a planet full of fruits. Eating all the fruits results in a 1-Up.
  • Earned from the Chance Cube, which is located at the lower right part of the ship's nose.
  • Entering the Pipe on the ship's right ear leads to a Luma. The player must feed the Luma 30 Star Bits, and it will transform into a Chance Cube.
  • The player must get a Cloud Flower on the forehead of Starship Mario. Then he or she must go to the back and stand on the middle exhaust pipe. He or she must then do a back-flip and make clouds three times to go up and collect a 1-Up Mushroom.
