Grandmaster Galaxy
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Template:Galaxybox Grandmaster Galaxy is the final galaxy that appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The galaxy is located in World S. This galaxy is unlocked when the player gets all 240 stars and is an obstacle course with puzzles, enemies, and Power Stars at the end. This galaxy contains two extra Stars: one for completing the level and another one for doing it again but with only one hit point. In the last case the player gets the star from Rosalina.
Planets and Areas
Flower Grapple Planet
The first planet is where Mario must use Yoshi to swing on the flower grapples to reach the Launch Star. There are several obstacles along the way, such as Mines and Bullet Bills. Paragoombas also appear, but they are replaced by Choppahs in the second mission.
Flipswitch Planet
After using the Launch Star from the first planet, Mario lands on a planet with Flipswitches, with a backdrop showing moving sprites of items from Super Mario Bros.. The player must touch all the Flip Switches (while avoiding Laser Robots) to reveal the Launch Star.
Electric Maze Planet
After landing, Mario/Luigi finds a Cloud Flower and a fan making an upward gust. Mario/Luigi must use the cloud flower to make it to the Launch Star at the end of the maze. More flowers are supplied along the way. In The Perfect Run, Mario/Luigi is stuck with this status for the rest of the level.
Platform Planet
A planet that has many platforms that have electric walls moving through them, making it tedious. Also, platforms that shrink and platforms that move when Mario spins appear here too. Gray Octoombas do pop up along the way.
Pull Star Planet
A planet with a lot of electricity. In the beginning, there are some blocks with electricity on them. Later, there is a long segment of Pull Stars where the Mario must avoid the electricity and Paragoombas to get to the end, where he finds a Launch Star.
Hammer Bro Planet
This planet is highly infested with Hammer Bros., and Mario has to get past them to reach the other side. Flimps are also present in this area.
The end area has three Boomerang Bros. that Mario must take out. Defeating them reveals a Power Star (or a Launch Star in the Daredevil run).
The Comet Medal for this galaxy is on the far right side of this planet, next to some platforms (as shown on the screenshot).
The Gate Planet
This planet is only accessed during the Daredevil run. It's a small planet with a small house built on it. Mario also meets Rosalina on this planet, which strongly resembles the Gate in its prequel, Super Mario Galaxy. There is also a 1-Up Mushroom behind the house.
Missions
The Ultimate Test
This mission is unlocked once the player gets a total of 240 Stars. The player basically has to deal with the various tasks mentioned above. There are checkpoint flags at certain areas, and the player can also speak with the Toad Brigade members during the quest.
The Perfect Run
The Prankster Comet for this galaxy is unlocked when the player finds this galaxy's Comet Medal and gives Banktoad 9999 Star Bits.
Basically, the player redos the "The Ultimate Test" star, but under the Daredevil conditions. There are no checkpoint flags, and some of the Paragoombas are replaced with Choppahs.
If Mario avoids all the obstacles, he'll run into Rosalina, who will thank the player.
Music from the original Super Mario Galaxy is played as well. The music that is played in order is Gusty Garden Galaxy, Good Egg Galaxy, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, and Comet Observatory.

- Between planets, the screen will turn white and the background will change.
- This galaxy is basically the same idea as the Grand Finale Galaxy.
