Bowser's Galaxy Generator
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed soon.
- Not to be confused with Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Template:Galaxybox Bowser's Galaxy Generator is a galaxy in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is located in World 6, and is the final galaxy where Bowser is fought.
The galaxy uses elements from every part of the game, such as Snake Blocks and drilling. Yoshi will also be needed to bypass certain obstacles, but he can't be used in the final battle, unless the player uses a glitch to get there with Yoshi.
The power-ups found here are the Cloud Flower, Blimp Fruit, Spin Drill, and Dash Pepper. The galaxy has many obstacles such as lava and electricity. Common enemies here include Magikoopas, Banzai Bills, Hammer Bros., Boomerang Bros., and Magmaarghs.
The Prankster Comet for this galaxy is the Speedy Comet. This Speedy Comet requires the player to reach the star before time expires. Fortunately, there are some timers that will increase the player's time. However, on this Mission you don't have to fight Bowser in the End.
Planets

Missions
Bowser's Fortified Fortress
The player starts off on the Starting Planet, and from there progresses to the Volcanic Planet, where they must defeat three Boomerang Bros in order to make the Floaty Fluff appear, which they must use to glide past multiple fireball cannons and fall onto a small circular area of dirt. Here, Mario must use the Spin Drill to burrow through the ground to the Banzai Bill Planet. Still retaining the Spin Drill, he must gradually work his way around this planet, being careful to avoid the numerous Banzai Bills that fly around it. He must locate one specific square patch of dirt amidst all the others and burrow through it, revealing the Launch Star to the Castle Tower Planet.
Here, Mario must work his way around the planet utilizing the same strategy as with the Log Planet from the Tall Trunk Galaxy, only dodging multiple Bullet Bills that attempt to block his way. When he reaches the end of the planet, another Launch Star will lead him to the Bridge Planet, where he will have to release Yoshi from his egg, and use his tongue to grab onto the Flower Grapples and swing onto the Lava Planet. After defeating two more Boomerang Bros, a large section of the wall will open up on the planet, revealing a Dash Pepper which Yoshi must use to speed through the wall section of the planet before it closes on them. After avoiding some Magmaarghs on the next section of the planet, more pink blocks will lead Mario and Yoshi to the Big Door Planet, where Mario must Ground Pound more meteorites into three stone locks to unlock the door, leading the way into the third and final Bowser Battle of the game.
After unlocking the big door, a gravity field will pull Mario in, who, after being threatened by Bowser, will be taken to the Bowser Battle Planet, where he must again battle Bowser for the final time. He must Ground Pound meteorites into him four times to release the Grand Star, and then four more while floating in space to finally defeat him once and for all. After this, Mario will be taken to Bowser's Garden Planet, where he is reunited with Peach, and is able to collect the sixth and final Grand Star of the game, which enables the player to view the first ending sequence, the ending credits, World S, and the secret ending, if 120 Power Stars are collected.
Bowser's Big Bad Speed Run
In this level, the player must play through the Bowser's Fortified Fortress level once again, though under Speedy Comet conditions. They will only have approximately 30 seconds to complete the level at the start, though Mario and Luigi can obviously collect multiple stopwatches to increase this time limit by ten seconds.
Green Star 1
The first Green Star is in the beginning, on the small Floaty Fluff course. Mario or Luigi must carefully get the star near the last lava cliff before the Spin Drill platform.
Green Star 2
The second Green Star is in front of the tilting platform, where Yoshi is. The player can see the star far out, and there is two ways to reach it. One way is the player must get Yoshi, flutter, and jump off Yoshi to get the star. The player can also reach the star if he/she has the Cloud Flower power-up, where he/she must long jump, make a cloud, and then again. The player will then be a long jump's distance away from the star. Template:Endspoiler

Trivia
- The galaxy's depiction on the map as a gigantic, fortress-like version of Bowser's head, as well as its size in comparison to Starship Mario, may be meant as a subtle reference to the aforementioned starship - in a way, it acts like Bowser's version of the starship, and its size in relation to the starship may be a reference to Bowser's increased size in the game.
- The void in the background of the second half of the Bowser Battle looks almost exactly like the void that Bowser is sucked into after he is defeated in the minigame Superstar Showdown at the end of Mario Party 8.
- When Yoshi is dismounted right before the fight with Bowser, he waves goodbye to the brother, the only time in the game when he does that.
- When the player rides Yoshi in this galaxy, a bass drum beat is added to the music in the background.
- The Speed Run mission in this galaxy is the only one with a Checkpoint Flag.
