'''Bowser's Galaxy Generator''' is a [[galaxy]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is located in [[World 6 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 6]] and is the last galaxy of this world. [[Bowser]] is fought here for the final time. The entire galaxy appears to take place inside a giant, foggy hallway; this is likely somewhere inside the giant Bowser head that forms the galaxy's exterior. A remix of the music can be heard in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''. The music and the final boss theme, "Fated Battle", also appear as selectable songs in the [[Mario Galaxy (stage)|Mario Galaxy]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

The galaxy uses elements from every part of the game, such as [[Snake Block]]s and the [[Drill Spin]]. [[Yoshi]] will also be needed to bypass certain obstacles, but he cannot be used in the final battle (without the use of [[List of Super Mario Galaxy 2 glitches#Yoshi's infinite Flutter Jump|glitches]]).

The power-ups found here are the [[Cloud Flower]], [[Blimp Fruit]], [[Spin Drill]], and [[Dash Pepper]]. The galaxy has many obstacles such as lava and electricity. Common enemies here include [[Magikoopa]]s, [[Banzai Bill]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Boomerang Bro]]s., and [[Magmaargh]]s.

The [[Prankster Comet]] for this galaxy is the Speedy Comet. This Speedy Comet requires the player to reach the Star before time expires. There are [[+ Clock]]s that will increase the player's time limit, and Bowser is not present.

===Starting Planet===
[[File:Life Shroom Pole.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario about to get a Life Mushroom]]
A small planet that resembles the platforms in the Bowser levels of the [[Super Mario Galaxy|first game]]. Once Mario lands on this planet, a [[Luma]] leads Mario down a path and change into a [[Launch Star]]. However, if Mario chooses another route and climbs to the top of a pole, he obtains a [[Life Mushroom]]. Note that the [[#Large Door Planet|Large Door Planet]] is almost directly under the planet a long way down.
{{br}}

===Platform Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Platform Planet.png|thumb|200px|The {{conjectural|Platform Planet|planet}}]]
A small platform occupied by three [[Hammer Bro]]s. The player must defeat them to reveal the [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]] to sail down the Volcanic Planet, although it is not actually needed to get down safely since the player can touch a wall of lava and use this momentum to fall to the bottom safely. During the speed run, the Hammer Bros. are replaced by two [[Boomerang Bro]]s. The Platform Planet is actually separate from the Volcanic Planet.
{{br}}

===Hammer Bros. Planet===
This small planet has three Hammer Bros. on it. When the three Hammer Bros. are defeated, a Launch Star appears to take Mario/Luigi to the next planet.

===Volcanic Planet===
[[File:BowserGalaxyGenerator-VolcanicPlanet.png|200px|left|thumb|Mario flying over [[lava]] with a Floaty Fluff]]
A planet made out of [[lava]] waterfalls that come out of volcanoes. Fireballs come out of torches, and Mario can fly using the [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]] found in the previous planet until he reaches the bottom or he can touch a wall of lava and use this momentum to fall to the bottom safely and avoid the fireballs until he gets to the bottom, where he can use a [[Spin Drill]] to exit the planet.
{{br}}

===[[Banzai Bill]] Planet===
[[File:BowserGalaxyGenerator-BanzaiBillPlanet.png|200px|thumb|Mario in front of a [[Banzai Bill]]]]
[[File:SMG2 Galaxy Generator Shortcut.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario taking a shortcut.]]
A cylindrical planet surrounded by lava. There are several [[Banzai Bill Cannon]]s here, and Mario can use the Spin Drill to go through the dirt and access other areas of the planet while avoiding the many [[Banzai Bill]]s and lava; however, he can save much more time if he ditches the spin drill and backflips on to the Banzai Bill Cannon then long jumps to the [[Launch Star]] at the end. Also, during the [[Prankster Comet]] mission, the Banzai Bills are replaced by [[Octoomba]]s.
{{br}}

===Lava Castle Planet===
[[File:BowserGalaxyGenerator-CastleTowerPlanet.png|200px|thumb|left|Cloud Mario avoiding bullet bills and creating clouds]]
[[File:SMG2 Lava Castle.png|200px|thumb|Mario flying to the planet.]]
In this sidescroller planet are several platforms that spin around, [[Bullet Bill]]s and also [[Cloud Flower]]s. There is lava at the top and bottom of the planet. At the end is a Launch Star. There is a glitch that allows the player to infinitely circle this planet which is shown below. During the prankster comet mission, the Bullet Bills are not present. Also, on the top of the planet, there will be a small area barely tall enough for Mario and Luigi. The area is filled with [[coin]]s and a [[1-Up Mushroom]] and leads to the Luma that turns into the Launch Star. This can be a shortcut.
{{br}}

===[[Yoshi]] Bridge Planet===
[[File:BowserGalaxyGenerator-BridgePlanet.png|200px|thumb|Cloud Mario crossing the bridge]]
A planet with a wooden bridge where a [[Magikoopa]] is found. There is also a platform that tilts according to Mario's current position on it. [[Yoshi's Egg]] is found on the right side, and the [[Yoshi]] can use the flower grapples on the left side to reach the next planet.
{{br}}

===Yoshi Magma Planet===
[[File:Lava_Yoshi_Swing.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario and Yoshi about to touch down on the planet]]
[[File:BowserGalaxyGenerator-LavaPlanet.png|thumb|200px|The second area of the Yoshi Magma Planet.]]
A big, long planet. If Yoshi goes forward and swings to the left, he will get a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-Up mushroom]]. From the platform with the [[Boomerang Bro]] on it Yoshi can infinitely flutter-jump until he is so high he gets caught in the Lava Castle Planet's gravity orbit, Mario (with or without Yoshi) will orbit the planet indefinitely. Yoshi must navigate the sinking lava platforms to reach the left side. On the left side are three [[Boomerang Bro]]s. and several [[Lava Geyser]]s. After defeating the enemies, two lava walls open briefly. After eating a [[Dash Pepper]], Yoshi can rush through a long section before the walls close again and crush them. After using a [[Sling Star]], Mario and Yoshi get to a second area with a large chain of [[Snake Block]]s. They must dodge the lava geysers and [[Magmaargh]]s. At the end, there is a [[Comet Medal]] and a [[Blimp Fruit]] that is used to avoid being eaten by a Magmaargh. The player needs to use Yoshi in order to obtain the Comet Medal. The top of this planet can be explored by getting Yoshi on the previous planet and using the infinite [[Flutter Jump]] glitch. From up there, the Large Door Planet can be seen, but the Big Door itself cannot.
{{br}}

===Large Door Planet===
[[File:BowserGalaxyGenerator-BigDoorPlanet.png|thumb|200px|Mario preparing to launch meteorites at the big door]]
[[File:SMG2 Galaxy Generator Checkpoint.png|left|200px|thumb|The Bowser Statue.]]
A castle-like planet with a few Lumas, a large [[Bowser Statue]], and a pole that Mario can use to get to the top. Mario must get off of Yoshi to climb the pole unless he uses Yoshi's Infinite Flutter glitch. On the top part of the planet, there is a Life Mushroom on the left, on top of another pole and [[meteorite]]s in the center. Mario must [[Ground Pound]] these to smash open the door locks and finally enter [[Bowser]]'s lair. When Yoshi is dismounted right before the fight with Bowser, he waves goodbye to Mario or Luigi, and will not re-enter his egg.
{{br}}

===Throne Planets===
[[File:SMG2 Throne Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|One of the thrones.]]
A small planet shaped slightly like a star. In front of this planet is another planet that is shaped like a large throne. Bowser is seen sitting on this throne when Mario first enters the area. He only remains here briefly before battling Bowser on the Bowser Battle Planet.
{{br}}

===Bowser Battle Planet===
[[File:BowserGalaxyGenerator-BowserBattlePlanet.png|thumb|200px|The {{conjectural|Bowser Battle Planet|planet}}]]
It is identical to the other battle planets. It is a small, round planet made out of black bricks with a few rocks that release coins.
{{br}}

===Bowser Battle Vortex===
[[File:SMG2 Galaxy Generator Final Battle.png|thumb|left|200px|The second stage of the Bowser battle]]
This area is the setting of the second stage of the fight with Bowser. It is a vortex with a black hole in the background. The only places for Mario to stand is on the meteorites used against Bowser. If all present meteorites have been used up or destroyed, a new one will immediately be called in; the meteorites will never disintegrate on their own.
{{br}}

===Garden Planet===
[[File:Grand_Star_Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario with Peach and the Grand Star]]
A small garden planet with flowers, a small pond, dirt and some [[Star Bit]]s on the underside of the planet. This is the planet where the final [[Grand Star]] and [[Princess Peach]] will appear after [[Bowser#Size|Giant Bowser]] is defeated. It resembles a simplified version of [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]'s planets since there are grass and flowers on the top half and only dirt on the bottom.

===Green Stars===
====Green Star 1====
[[File:Galaxy Generator Green Star 1.png|thumb|200px|Location of the first Green Star.]]
The first Green Star is in the beginning, on the small [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]] course. Mario or Luigi must carefully get the star near the last lava cliff before the [[Spin Drill]] platform.

====Green Star 2====
[[File:Galaxy Generator Green Star 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Location of the second Green Star.]]
The second Green Star is in front of the tilting platform, where [[Yoshi]] is. The player can see the star far out, and there are multiple ways to reach it. The easiest way is to get on Yoshi, jump straight toward the star from the tilting platform, flutter jump, dismount, and spin to get the star. Another way is that Mario can also reach the star if they have the [[Cloud Flower]] power-up, where they must long jump, make a cloud, and then long jump again. Yet another way is to beat the Boomerang Bros. on the next planet, get the Dash Pepper in the opening, and go back to where the Green Star is. Dash Yoshi can then jump, flutter jump, and dismount to get the star.

==Prima Official Game Guide description==
*"''This is it -- [[Bowser]]'s last stand in the cosmos. If you can survive his trap-loaded defenses and [[Magmaargh]] minions, Bowser will challenge you to a final showdown for the sixth [[Grand Star]]. Bowser will not go quietly, though. You must muster all your strength to bring down the Koopa King and free the universe from his evil plans.''"
