A galaxy is an enormous system consisting of gases, stars, planets, and comets. Mario visits many galaxies in his adventures through Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. There are currently a total of ninety-one different galaxies between the two games.

The galaxy named Grand Finale Galaxy is home to Mario's planet (Mushroom World), while the Milky Way Galaxy is home to Earth. The galaxies in Super Mario Galaxy are notably much smaller than real galaxies, often being comprised of nothing more than a few small planetoids, most of which are in all different shapes and sizes. They are more comparable to systems such as the Solar System.

In Super Mario Galaxy, most galaxies are categorized in different Domes. These Domes show the player up to five galaxies and then gives them the option to fly to those galaxies in order to search for a Power Star. Outside of each dome is one Hungry Luma galaxy which can only be accessed by feeding a Hungry Luma the certain amount of star bits that it requires to transform into a galaxy.

Many galaxies have Black Holes, in which if Mario falls over the edge, he will be sucked into the black hole.

In Super Mario Galaxy, there is clearly a size difference between galaxies. Some of them contain 6 or 7 Power Stars and the others possess only 1 (2 in Buoy Base Galaxy and Gateway Galaxy. The "main" galaxies with 6-7 stars are usually much larger than the "bonus" 1 star galaxies, which may only contain one or two planetoids.

Trivia

  • In both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, galaxies are commonly represented by three-dimensional revolving icons which consist of either one planet found in the galaxy or multiple planets in the galaxy. In Super Mario Galaxy, only 29 of the 42 total galaxies in the game have revolving icons, as the other thirteen remaining galaxies are accessed outside of one of the six main domes. In Super Mario Galaxy 2 however, every galaxy in the game has an icon. In addition, every galaxy icon in Super Mario Galaxy 2 is surrounded by a faint blue circular force field, though it is unknown why.
  • Note that in Super Mario Galaxy, every object found on almost all of the revolving galaxy icons in the game remains stationary. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, however, almost every galaxy icon in the game has something moving on it. The reasons for this are unknown.
