TheEngine Room is adome inSuper Mario Galaxy and itsNintendo Switchport. It is the fifth accessible dome on theComet Observatory, and will be unlocked wheneverMario orLuigi recovers theGrand Star fromBowser's Dark Matter Plant.
The outside of Engine Room looks simply like a large metal dome, while inside there are purple and blue pipes leading up from a steel mesh floor. AGearmo patrols the room, although he serves no real significance. As with all domes, the Engine Room has aPull Star in the center, which is used to access the dome's Galaxies. Mario does not need to enter the Engine Room in order to reachBowser's Galaxy Reactor, as he can just collect the sixtyPower Stars required to access it from previous galaxies.
The main boss of the Engine Room is a more powerful version ofKing Kaliente.

Notes[edit]
- The Engine Room is the only dome in the game where an NPC other thanPolari can be spoken to.
- It is possible to gain access to the exterior of the Engine Room before completing Bowser's Dark Matter Plant by using theslope-climbing glitch on the sloped roof of the Comet Observatory. As a result, the Warp Pad on the upper floor that connects to the Warp Pad next to the couch on the lower floor can be activated even before the Engine Room has been unlocked, allowing permanent access to the upper floor.
