The '''Clockwork Ruins Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] located in [[World 6 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 6]] appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is an ancient ruins-themed location featuring several stone structures as planets, oftentimes decorated with face carvings, grass and trees. The galaxy includes new gimmicks such as rolling [[millstone]]s and walls that push the player out of the gravitational force. [[Wire|Bar]]s are also introduced in this level. Only Goomba enemies are found here, and they include [[Jack O'Goomba]]s and [[Octoomba]]s.

The music in this galaxy is the same as the music in the [[Slipsand Galaxy]]. They also share the towers in the background.

==Planets==
===Giant Rotation Planet===

[[File:SMG2 Clockwork Ruins Starting Planet.png|thumb|Mario on the Giant Rotation Planet.]]
The Giant Rotation Planet<ref name=Noclip>Texture file names associated with each planet, retrieved from [https://noclip.website/#smg2/AncientExcavationGalaxy;ShareData=AL:zWUty=iT$ noclip.website].</ref> is where the player first lands. Two [[Jack O'Goomba]]s are encountered at the beginning. The planet consists of four odd-shaped millstones that the player must use to get to the [[Launch Star]] at the end. Many [[Octoomba]]s are found on the millstones. At the bottom of the second and fourth millstones are areas of land which protects the player if they fall off. Under the fourth millstone is a [[Hungry Luma]] which requires the player to feed it 30 [[coin]]s. If the player does so, the Luma can open the passage to the [[#Huge Hammer Planet|Huge Hammer Planet]]. If not, the player can take the Launch Star to the [[#Pusher Wall Planet|Pusher Wall Planet]].

===Pusher Wall Planet===

[[File:SMG2 Clockwork Ruins Wall Before and After.png|thumb|Mario on the Pusher Wall Planet, before and after flipping the switch]]
The Pusher Wall Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref> is filled with [[Jack O'Goomba]]s. As the name suggests, the planet's main obstacle is the wall's ability to push the player out of the planet's gravitational force to a [[black hole]], similar to that of a [[Bomp]]. The objective is to free the [[Luma]] that is trapped in a cage. The player needs to climb to the top left where a switch similar to those found in [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]] from the [[Super Mario Galaxy|first game]] is located. After the player hits the switch, the walls fall apart and the gravity changes. The player needs to make the way to the ground pound switch on the bottom, freeing the Luma. The Luma transforms into a Launch Star and takes the player to the [[#Rolling Drum Planet|Rolling Drum Planet]].

===Huge Hammer Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Clockwork Ruins Ledge Hammer Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario heading to the Huge Hammer Planet.]]
The Huge Hammer Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref> is accessed by feeding the [[Hungry Luma]] thirty [[coin]]s on the [[#Giant Rotation Planet|Giant Rotation Planet]]. The planet is only visited during [[The Ledge Hammer Trap]] mission. It is a planet that has six [[Ledge Hammer]]s on it. Getting flattened by a Ledge Hammer makes the player automatically lose a life. The ground moves in a circular pattern and has many pieces of it cut out. Electrical fences also appear on the planet. There are two [[Blue switch (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|blue switch]]es found here that slows down time temporarily, and they are helpful when trying to get to the other side. There is also a [[1-Up Mushroom]] that can be acquired by jumping onto the head of a Ledge Hammer after slowing down time. After the player passes the first Ledge Hammers, there is a green [[Warp Pipe]] that leads to the upper area of the planet. The same five ledge hammers are found here, but this time, the cracks in the wall show where the Ledge Hammers are hitting. There are no blue switches up here to slow down time. Another 1-Up Mushroom can be found above one of these Ledge Hammers. At the end of the upper area is the [[Power Star]].

===Rolling Drum Planet===

The Rolling Drum Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref> is the final planet in the galaxy. It is made up of three distinct areas. In the first area, there are [[millstone]]s that fall from the sky and roll downhill. The player should use the indents in the stones to avoid being crushed. This specific area is where the [[Comet Medal]] is located. The second area consists of spiked ground and walls which the player must avoid. [[Wire|Bar]]s are also found here. The player can wall jump off the two millstones in the area to reach the final area. In this area, the player should take the elevator and hit the switch to make millstones fall from the sky. The player needs to use the millstones to reach the bars and finally the [[Power Star]].

The player should replay the [[Time for Adventure]] mission. The second Green Star is located on the [[#Pusher Wall Planet|Pusher Wall Planet]]. The player needs to first change the gravitational force of the planet so they walking on the wall. The player can then do one of two things: they can either do a backwards somersault followed by a [[spin]] to get on the borders of the level or just have a pushing wall push him or her towards the border. The Green Star is on the top right corner.

The early location of Green Star 2 was after the first set of millstones on the [[#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]].

The player should replay the [[Time for Adventure]] mission. This time, the final Green Star is located on the [[#Rolling Drum Planet|Rolling Drum Planet]]. The player needs to travel through the millstone planet until they reach the part where the [[Power Star]] is. The player should see the Green Star off to the distance. The player must climb onto a millstone to head towards the star. Once the player is close enough, they should perform a somersault followed by a [[spin]] to reach the Star.

*''"Can you survive the cogs and wheels built into these ancient ruins? Drive into empty holes to avoid getting smashed by rolling wheels. And be sure to collect [[coin]]s as you explore because there's a little [[Luma]] in this galaxy that would gladly accept your spare change in exchange for revealing the hidden [[Power Star]]."''
