Bigmouth Galaxy
- “This is my hideaway. It's the perfect spot for fishing...and being left alone!”
- —Penguru, Super Mario Galaxy
The Bigmouth Galaxy is a rather strange galaxy appearing in Super Mario Galaxy. The galaxy consists of one large planet shaped like a fish with a big mouth that has stalagmites resembling teeth. It is mostly a water level with a large pool of water in the mouth. It has Gringills in the water as well as several Boos and Preying Mantas.
Planets/Areas
Template:Conjecturaltext
This is the main planet of the area. It is strangely shaped like a fish. Its interior is full of water. In the belly of the planet are two lakes, one on the floor and on on the roof. Several Jellyfish and Gringills live in the bottom lake.

These planets are made completely of water and are seen around the main planet. Unfortunately these worlds are inaccessible and can't be explored without hacking. It should also be noted that these planet do not have gravity.[1]
Level
Bigmouth's Gold Bait
Mario begins this level on a beach outside of the fish's mouth, where there sits a gold treasure chest. The old penguin on the beach remarks that the chest can only be opened by a Gold Shell. Mario will have to dive into the fish's mouth and Mario needs to attack the brick wall by Spinning or ramming into it with a Koopa shell, and the player would have to swim through. There are five Star Chips in this area that will form a Launch Star. The Launch Star sends Mario into a watery pool located directly above the pool that contained the Star Chips (separated by a thin strip of air). Or, if the player wants to, they could Wall Jump on the wall in the air area out of the water as a shortcut. This pool contains the gold Koopa Shell, so the player has to grab it and swim back to the beginning of the level without losing it. Mario should break open the treasure chest to reveal the Toad Brigade leader, who will hand over a Power Star.
