Mario confronting Cosmic Mario.
Cosmic Mario is a character in the game Super Mario Galaxy. He appears as a starry clone of Mario, similar in appearance to Shadow Mario. When a Cosmic Comet is a galaxy, Cosmic Mario will appear from it and challenge Mario to a race. Mario then has to get through numerous obstacles against Cosmic Mario to get the Power Star.
If the player is playing as Luigi, Cosmic Luigi will appear in place of Cosmic Mario. Cosmic Luigi is far more intelligent, making use of short cuts and many long jumps. As a result, he is much faster than Cosmic Mario. This is done to add some extra challenge when playing as Luigi.
Trivia
- Cosmic Mario's appearance is similar to Shadow Mario, a disguise of Bowser Jr. which he created with the Magic Paintbrush. However, the Magic Paintbrush was found by the runner Il Piantissimo on the beach in the ending of Super Mario Sunshine, and he could have used the Paintbrush to become Cosmic Mario.
- At the start of Cosmic Luigi's race the player can hold Z in order to charge up and get an extra boost at the beginning of the race.
