TheGrand Finale Galaxy is a special bonus level inSuper Mario Galaxy and itsNintendo Switchport. It takes place inCastle Gardens (also calledToad Town in the guide byPrima Games) from the beginning of the game, with creatures from earlier parts of the game now attending theStar Festival, includingPenguins,Honeybees,Gearmos, andStar Bunnies, the four majorNPC types in the game. The galaxy is unlocked after 120Power Stars have been obtained with both Mario andLuigi, and is reached by talking to the fourth GreenLuma on thePlanet of Trials. This galaxy has the 121st Power Star for both Mario brothers. TheToad Brigade and their ship, theStarshroom, are found outside of the castle. This is the only galaxy not mentioned in theSuper Mario GalaxyPrima Games guide. This galaxy also contains the onlyPurple Coin mission that does not have the words "Purple Coins" in the name. It is also one of the two galaxies to have a Purple Coin mission not triggered by aPrankster Comet, theother one being in theGateway Galaxy.

After the player has collected all thePurple Coins, theMailtoad will receive a message. If the player talks to him, he will send a congratulatory picture to theWii Message Board. This picture differs depending on whether the player spoke to the Mailtoad as Mario or Luigi. If Mario speaks to him, the picture will show Mario and Peach standing on theStarting Planet of theGood Egg Galaxy with some Lumas, including theapricot Luma. If Luigi speaks to the Mailtoad, the picture will feature Luigi and Rosalina standing in front ofPeach's Castle with the Toad Brigade. The picture can also be sent to friends. On the Nintendo Switch rereleases, the "Yes" and "No" prompts are removed and the two images obtained from him are automatically sent to theNintendo Switch album if the player talks to him. Additionally, the message from theSuper Mario Galaxy staff that was originally sent to the Wii Message Board is now read out by the Mailtoad in-game.^[1]

On thelist of galaxies, this galaxy is simply called "Grand Finale", lacking the "Galaxy" name at the end that all other galaxies on the list have.

Planets/Areas[edit]

Toad Town and the exterior ofPeach's Castle are shown. The castle and the area around it is based on the design introduced inSuper Mario 64, containing a large lake with a river flowing into it, but expanded to include a pathway to Toad Town. The path goes through the town and into the castle.

There is an invisible wall that stops the player from entering the castle itself and the lake. If the wall is bypassed by hacking, the castle and lake have no collision and will cause the player to fall and lose a life.

Mission[edit]

This galaxy contains only the following mission.

Notes[edit]

• It is possible to take damage (and thus lose a life) in this galaxy. The player can simply jump into the fire roasting food that is just past the gate to Peach's castle area nearYellow Toad. Alternatively, they can bypass the invisible wall though hacking.
• DespiteEarth seemingly being located underneath theComet Observatory, this galaxy is accessed in the same way as the threeTrial Galaxies, by flying to a distant galaxy in the sky. However, it does not appear to be quite as distant, as it appears bigger from the Planet of Trials than they do.
