TheSlimy Spring Galaxy is agalaxy appearing inSuper Mario Galaxy 2 and itsNintendo Switchport. It is located inWorld 6 and mostly takes place in water. It makes extensive use of theGreen Shell to move around underwater. Common enemies here includeSnoodles,Urchins, andBoos. This is the only galaxy in the game that can only be accessed through aHungry Luma galaxy.
Planets/Areas[edit]
Under Ground Dangeon Planet A[edit]
The Under Ground Dangeon[sic] Planet A[1] is the first of two very similar planets featured in this galaxy.
Starting area[edit]
The starting section of this planet is a small area made with tile flooring and many rock formations. To the left is aWarp Pipe with three shells and ninetreasure chests. Straight ahead from where the player starts are twobats and a slide that takes the player down to the next section.
Tunnel[edit]
After taking the slide down, the player will end up in a water filled tunnel with manySpace Mines andcoins. Asign explains how shaking theWii Remote near a shell will make the player pick it up. The Green Shell is used here to make underwater travel easier. There are a few Snoodles later in the area and theComet Medal can be found to the left of the tunnel, in an offshooting area in the wall.
Tunnel exit[edit]
Next is a generally wide area filled with Snoodles and columns. There is a tunnel withUrchins at the end and twoGringills are found at the top of that tunnel.Snoodles are found in the path to theLaunch Star which takes the player to the Under Ground Dangeon Planet B. If the player waits until Mario drops from the Launch Star, Mario will land on a secret platform with a1-Up Mushroom.
Under Ground Dangeon Planet B[edit]
Well area[edit]
The Under Ground Dangeon[sic] Planet B[1] starts off with a singleParagoomba flying over a large hole. When the player jumps down the hole, they will enter another underwater section, with an arrow made ofStar Bits pointing in the direction of another underwater tunnel.
Tunnel[edit]
This tunnel is much longer than the tunnel on the first planet, and the player must use theGreen Shells,underwater rings and Bubbles to get to the end before they run out of air. There are huge walls blocking the sections and the only opening is where the ring is. If the player is still in full speed and he bumps into one of these walls, the shell that the player is holding will get smashed and then disappears. Conveniently, there is a shell in between each wall where the player can retrieve if his shell was smashed. DuringThe Chimp's Coin Challenge, the walls are slid open.Boos are bountiful in this area and the coins they drop when defeated can refill the player's air meter. At the end is a long tunnel filled withUrchins that leads outside.
Ending area[edit]
The final location is an outlook area toward a vast plain. It is filled with lush grass, lily of the valley flowers, two trees and two waterfalls east and west of the outlook. There is a single treasure chest in the middle and aGreen Shell at the left area. When the player opens the chest, theToad Brigade Captain will pop out and give the player a star for saving him, similar to the event in theBigmouth Galaxy fromSuper Mario Galaxy.

Notes[edit]
- If the player enters theWarp Pipe in theStarting Area of this galaxy, the music that plays in the bonus room is not the new bonus room music fromSuper Mario Galaxy 2, but rather the old bonus room music fromSuper Mario Galaxy. This also happens in secret areas in theRightside Down Galaxy and theUpside Dizzy Galaxy, as well as in the second mission of theSlipsand Galaxy.
- When Mario emerges into the final area, there will be no music playing, and an ambient sound plays instead. This is the second time this happens in the second game, the first being when Mario walks into the area before the big slide in the second mission ofTall Trunk Galaxy.
