Toy Time Galaxy is agalaxy inSuper Mario Galaxy and itsNintendo Switchport, located in theEngine Room dome. It is a playroom-themed location filled with toys made out of brightly colored building blocks and moving mechanisms. The background itself resembles an enormous playroom, with interlocking foam tiles on the floor and ceiling and fabric wallpaper with a whimsical hill, star, and cloud design. It is inhabited byGearmos, whileMecha-Bowsers serve as predominant enemies alongside other robotic creatures. This galaxy also features a secondary, food-based area. This galaxy, alongsideFreezeflame Galaxy, are the only two galaxies to have a comet in a secret star area, requiring the player to collect the hidden star before they can access the comet star.
"Super Mario 2007", the main music track for the Toy Time Galaxy, is an arrangement of "Ground BGM" fromSuper Mario Bros., and carries over to theSupermassive Galaxy inSuper Mario Galaxy 2.
Planets/Areas[edit]
Starting Planet[edit]
This planet looks like a circular train track with two stations. It has two trains on it; one with three cars (which is usually ridden byCaptain Toad), and the other with only two cars (which is usually ridden byBlue Toad). In some missions, it circles the track clockwise; in others, it circles counterclockwise.
Train Planet[edit]
This is a planet made up of many colorful blocks and gears with the general shape of a train engine, mostly identifiable by a long smokestack at the top. This planet also features pink walls with their own gravity. This planet has a1-Up Mushroom and aLife Mushroom. The 1-Up Mushroom is between two vent pipes to the left of the starting point thatMario mustWall-Jump to get. The Life Mushroom is following more vent pipes to the right of the starting point over some fans. This planet is the first to have Bolts for Mario to spin.
Conveyor Belts Planet[edit]
This is a medium-sized planet made up of building blocks and conveyor belts. This is where Mario first finds theSpring Mushroom. This planet has a pipe that leads to the planet's tubular interior. A hidden miniature train is viewable in a small crevice near theWarp Pipe mentioned above, and a 1-Up Mushroom. This miniature train has no effect on gameplay and was likely hidden to reward curious players.
Dinner Planet[edit]
This planet is made up of a big plate, a fork, a spoon, and a bottle with a launch star that Mario must reach to move on.
Mecha-Bowser[edit]
This is a big toy robot that is made to resembleBowser on a large conveyor belt, though its resemblance is much weaker than itsSuper Mario Sunshineincarnation. Its similarities in appearance to Bowser are its spiked green shell, the spiky collar, and a red protrusion coming out of its head that vaguely resembles Bowser's hair. Mecha-Bowser is a tall, old-fashioned-looking blue and green toy robot with wheels on its feet and wind-up keys coming out of the sides of its head and back. It features green surfaces (much like the pink ones earlier in the level) that Mario can walk on. To get to the top, Mario must destroy its chest plate and its right arm. To destroy the whole robot and save the trapped Gearmos, Mario must destroy the stack of breakable stones on its head, which causes a chain reaction that makes the robot explode. After it is destroyed, only the conveyor belt and the Gearmos remain.
Screw Planet[edit]
This is a strange metal and wood planet with a huge screw sticking through it. Mario must collect five yellowStar Chips here to progress. AHungry Luma can also be found here, along with manyAmps. This planet has been said to look somewhat like the head ofF.L.U.D.D. fromSuper Mario Sunshine.
8-Bit Mario Bros. Planet[edit]
This is a very thin planet with an 8-bit Mario on one side and an 8-bitLuigi on the other. This planet matches the appearance of 8-bit Mario or Luigi, usingyellow squares for their skin color,shrinking platforms for their shirt color, and lava tiles for Mario's hat and pants color (poison water tiles for Luigi's). A starting block with a star is attached to one of 8-bit Mario or Luigi's feet. On the hat part of the brothers, M is written on it withStar Bits, and L is written for Luigi. The Mario side has fiveSilver Stars, and the Luigi side has 150Purple Coins, of which only 100 need to be collected. The Luigi side only has thesecoins when thePurple Comet is in orbit around the galaxy. This planet is seen in theMario Squared Galaxy inSuper Mario Galaxy 2 (and in fact comprises the entire galaxy), as separate Mario and Luigi planets.
First Dessert Area[edit]
This area consists of one cake, two slices of cake, and a conveyor belt with chocolate bars on it. Mario needs theSpring Mushroom to scale the cake slices and jump over the chocolate bars.
Second Dessert Area[edit]
This planet consists of one large orange cake, a slice of cake on a plate, and a wall of white chocolate; the plate marks acheckpoint. Mario must bounce or walk around the spinning cake to get to aSling Star. The cake's center is a black hole.
Frozen Dessert Area[edit]
This area is a collection of an ice cream cone, popsicles, lollipops, and huge ice cubes. While in this area, the music changes to the ice variation ofFreezeflame Galaxy's music. Mario starts out on an ice cream cone and is shortly greeted by the loneLi'l Brr who lives there; the ice cream cone planet marks a checkpoint. Mario will have to use the sticks of the popsicles as poles and traverse over the pit until he reaches the area with the rotating lollipops. The lollipops havePulse Beams, which produce shockwaves that will damage Mario. Unlike their purple or green counterparts, they cannot be jumped on unless Mario wants to take some damage from its spikes. There is a trail ofElectrogoombas on a thin, icy path. Mario will need to avoid them as they may cause him to fall off the trail and into theblack hole below. The last ice cube has a cannon that will shoot Mario to theLaunch Star.
Birthday Cake Planet[edit]
This is an oversizedcake with five candles and six forks and spoons sticking out of it. Mario can go down the greenWarp Pipe on the red spoon (one of two spoons not in the cake) and enter the inside of the planet. Mario must "blow" out all five candles by spinning next to them. This will cause a Launch Star to appear.
Undergrunt Gunner's Planet[edit]
This is a large cake with a canister of gumballs on it. When Mario arrives, theUndergrunt Gunner has taken over the planet and resides in his new electric cannon on top of the gumball canister. Mario must don theSpring Suit and spring up to the cannon toground pound the Undergrunt Gunner three times to defeat it. Mario can find aLife Mushroom to the right of the Undergrunt Gunner and a1-Up Mushroom above it. The area is also littered with miniMecha-Bowsers that providecoins when Mario's health is low.
Chain Planet[edit]
The Chain Planet[1] is two square shaped planets intertwined. They are covered withTox Boxes andFlipswitch Panels. Mario must turn the switches yellow in order to get thePower Star. Toy Time Galaxy'sFast Foe Comet also occurs in this area. This area can be reached by feeding the Hungry Luma on theScrew Planet.
Sky Train[edit]
As Mario is launched towards the starting planet, an inaccessible train can be seen passing by. By hacking, it is shown that this train has collision, despite the fact that the player cannot normally get to it.
Gear Planets[edit]
These are three wooden gears that float around the factory planet with some star bits on them. Through hacking, it shows these planets are solid. The gravity is the same as the train planet.
Pencils[edit]
Throughout the galaxy, usually seen when Mario is flying towards another planet via a launch star, there are some pencils with star bits around them. Unlike the gears, these are not solid.
Spoons[edit]
When Mario is flying towards the second planet in the third mission via a launch star, some inaccessible spoons with star bits in their bowls can be seen. It is likely that they are solid, as they seem to be copies of accessible spoons.
Orange slices[edit]
In the third mission, there are some orange slices with star bits next to them. These are also seen while flying to the next planet, just like the spoons. However, unlike the spoons, it is unlikely these are solid.
Asteroids[edit]
As Mario is being launched towards the boss area in the third mission, some asteroids or mini-planets can be seen with rings of star bits around them. It is unknown whether these have collision, but is more likely that they do, as there are other similar objects like the mini-planet inSpin-Dig Galaxy[2] which do have collision.

Notes[edit]
- In one of the upper corners of the room, a dark spherical planet can be seen. This is actually the outside of the spherical secret area full of prickly plants, and if closely examined, the green undersides of said plants can be seen on said planet.
- Similarly, a distance from the 8-bit planet is a capsule-shaped planet that the player never actually travels to. However, hacking the game and flying to the planet reveals it to be the tube-like area that the player can enter by using the Warp Pipe in the first mission of the galaxy.
- In the first or second mission using a flying hack, if Mario or Luigi flies to the Birthday Cake Planet, they will see a Warp Pipe that is tilted and floating in midair. Entering this pipe will take the player to the same bonus room from the "Bouncing Down Cake Lane" mission. If the player leaves, they will automatically lose a life since there is no ground for them to land on.[4]
