Supermassive Galaxy is the first galaxy of World 4 in the gameSuper Mario Galaxy 2. This course depicts many commonSuper Mario enemies and elements at an extraordinary size, includingPiranha Plants,Lumas,coins andplatforms. The concept can be compared to that ofGiant Land fromSuper Mario Bros. 3 or the 'huge' part ofTiny-Huge Island inSuper Mario 64.
The Supermassive Galaxy music theme is a remix of theToy Time Galaxy's "Super Mario 2007" from theprevious game, which in turn is an arrangement of "Ground BGM" fromSuper Mario Bros.
Planets[edit]
Starting Planet[edit]
The Starting Planet is a series of platforms made of giantBlocks,Brick Blocks andWarp Pipes, as well as a single? Block and a giant spinning coin. A giant Luma is found next to the starting point. The player will encounterGiant Goombas roaming around andSuper Piranha Plants guarding the pipes. TheComet Medal can be spotted over a gap near the giant coin. ATip Network showing how to long jump is found after the pipes.
The backmost section of the planet is a row of big blocks where Mario must avoid twoBig Thwomps and gaps under them; theLaunch Star is accessible right ahead. The player may also long jump off the top of the first Big Thwomp; performing aspin, they can break the gravitational pull and land on the Giant Koopas Planet.
Giant Koopas Planet[edit]
This small, circular dirt planet is the second planet that players visit and the only sidescrolling portion of this galaxy. It is populated by threeGiant Koopas that continuously walk around it counterclockwise. It is similar toDigga-Leg's planet in theSpin-Dig Galaxy, also containing aSpin Drill that the player must use to defeat the three Giant Koopas in order to reveal the Launch Star.
On this planet, if players can jump repeatedly on any Giant Koopa shell eight times in a row and then continue to do so, they can earn extra lives until the maximum of 99.
Giant Warp Pipe Planet[edit]
This planet is not accessed, but Mario flies through it after being launched by the secondLaunch Star from the Giant Koopas Planet. There areStar Bits on its inner walls.
Giant Star Chips Planet[edit]
Like the starting one, this planet's terrain consists of giant blocks, pipes and other objects. The first section is a bridge made of largeStar Chips. Another giant Luma is seen here, as well asBig Paragoombas and more Super Piranha Plants ahead. At the end of the planet there is a series of giantelevators that disappear and reappear constantly, which the player must traverse with timed movements. The Launch Star here will take them to the Blooming Garden planet.
Blooming Garden Planet[edit]
When the player lands on this planet, it is a simple, grassy sphere. However, as Mario walks around it, flowers start to appear and bloom from his steps. When the flowers completely cover the planet, a vine sprouts, allowing the player to reach the hiddenPower Star and complete the mission. A Launch Star to the Stone Tube Planet is available at all times. During theBig Wigglers Speed Run mission, the flowers will not bloom, and this planet only serves as a gateway to the Stone Tube Planet.
Stone Tube Planet[edit]
This planet is shaped like a cylinder made of stones and is inhabited byBig Wigglers, the last two being enraged and running at a faster pace than the others. The player can get past them by using the Long Jump. ThePower Star for Huge Trouble With Big Wigglers is located on top of a pole at the end of this planet.
The Stone Tube Planet bears resemblance to theCyclone Stone in theBeach Bowl Galaxy fromSuper Mario Galaxy, which appears later in this game in theStone Cyclone Galaxy.
