Boulder Bowl Galaxy is a galaxy found in World 2 of Super Mario Galaxy 2. The galaxy introduces and utilizes the use of the Rock Mushroom that turns Mario into a solid boulder. Some planets included in the galaxy are made of rocks, soil and steel platforms. Bowling pin-like enemies called Pinheads are found in the galaxy, which Mario can bowl over by rolling over them in his boulder form. Rollodillo is fought here. The music in the level is the same as in Spin-Dig Galaxy.
Planets
NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.
Starting Planet
The starting planet has a glass cage with a Rock Mushroom in it which is guarded by three Elite Octoombas. Two members of the Toad Brigade are found here. The planet also has a huge purple Crystal, where the Comet Medal is trapped inside. A giant, raised bridge that, after been dropped, can help the player access an area with Pinheads is also located here. The area has a ramp that leads the player to the next planet. A little bit beyond the Comet Medal there is a 1-Up Mushroom on a ledge. There are also some rock spikes. They either give the player some Coins, Star Bits, or Enemies.
Rolling Rocks Planet
This planet contains a glass cage and a Checkpoint Flag, but this time, a Launch Star is trapped inside the glass cage. The player has to defeat a group of Octoombas to open the cage. There are three Ruby Rocks rolling around the cage. The player only needs to kill the Octoguys and Elite Octoombas. The Ruby Rocks are optional to destroy as they just give the player Star Bits.
Boulder Planet
This planet is covered with Ruby Rocks, Elite Octoombas and Chomps. It also has a Rock Mushroom and three rock pillars. A giant purple Crystal with a Sling Star trapped in it can be found on the top of the planet. In a later mission, there is a gold Gearmo that can be found on this planet. There is also another rock pillar that has a Warp Pipe inside. The Warp Pipe leads to a bonus area with six Chance Cubes.
Orange Crystal Planet
This is a small, orange-colored crystalline planet. Lumalee can be found on this planet, as well as a Launch Star and a Checkpoint Flag.
Cage Planet
This planet is a large, round, red cage. Rollodillo's battle takes place here. It has Rock Mushrooms that the player can use to transform into Rock Mario or Luigi. It is also the planet where the Prankster Comet mission takes place.
Asteroid Planet
This planet is seen only in Rolling Crabber Romp for this galaxy. In the mission, this planet is the first planet the player lands on, as opposed to the normal Starting Planet. It has nothing on it but a sign, a 1-Up Mushroom, and a Launch Star which will shoot the player to the Cage Planet.
Enemies
Red Crabbers (Prankster Comet mission only)

Green Stars
Green Star 1
The player will redo the Rock and Rollodillo mission. Instead of getting the Rock Mushroom on the Starting Planet, the player must repeatedly wall jump and spin on the sides of the bridge to climb it. At the top of the bridge will be the first Green Star. If the player knocks down the bridge before grabbing the star, there will be no way to reach it unless they were to restart the level.

Prima Official Game Guide description
