{{quote|We detected signs of [[Luigi]] in this galaxy! I hope he hasn't been eaten by [[Boo|ghosts]]!|Captain Toad|Super Mario Galaxy}}
'''Ghostly Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Many elements of this area are of a haunted theme, and [[Mario]] can find [[Boo Mushroom]]s that turn him into a [[Boo Mario|Boo]]. This galaxy also has the first appearance of [[Luigi]] in the game, who is rescued in the process of obtaining the galaxy's first [[Power Star]]. After being rescued, Luigi will later discover a few more Power Stars for Mario to collect in other galaxies. [[Bouldergeist]] is the boss of this galaxy.

An arrangement of the music heard inside the mansion is used for [[Ghost House]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', a small portion of the music was rearranged and is heard in [[The Enigmansion]], and a faster version plays once all Boos are encountered in the dining room.
==Planets/zones==
===Boo Mansion Gate Planet===
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Starting Planet.png|thumb|200px|The Green Starshroom near the Boo Mansion Gate Planet.]]
The starting point is a [[Starshroom|Green Starshroom]], which has a [[Launch Star]] leading to the Boo Mansion Gate Planet.<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/TeresaMansionGatePlanet.arc)</ref> The starting planet has three [[Bat (Super Mario Galaxy)|bat]]s and three [[Jack O'Goomba|Pumpkinhead Goomba]]s. There is a spike that spawns a [[Rainbow Star]] when [[Spin|spun]], which can be used for destroying the [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s in the first mission. In the third mission, there are three [[Sprangler]]s. Each mission has a different Launch Star to get to the planets. There is a big gap in the middle of the planet that contains a [[black hole]].

===Haunted Mansion===

The Haunted Mansion is visited in two levels: Luigi and the Haunted Mansion and Beware of Bouldergeist, though Beware of Bouldergeist only has part of the mansion. In Luigi and the Haunted Mansion, a ray of light can be turned on by hitting a [[Lever Switch]] near the door to defeat a [[Boo]]. Also, there are some boxes near the edges of the room. Some of them contain [[Toad (species)|Toads]] that give Mario information, while others give him [[Coin]]s and [[Star Bit]]s. There are also some [[Bowser]] statues near the crates.

}}
There is a painting of a Boo on top of the stairs and when Mario goes near it, a Boo spouts out. A Launch Star leads to the upper floor of the mansion. Luigi is trapped in a prison and must be rescued. [[Jill Board]] teaches Mario how to use the Boo Mushroom in one of the rooms. 

In Luigi and the Haunted Mansion, there is a hidden room containing a large amount of coins. To enter this room, Mario needs to enter a [[Star Chip]] room containing [[Jack O'Goomba|Pumpkinhead Goomba]]s. Then, Mario must go to the ceiling and he must ground pound a white circle full of cracks, where the hidden room gets revealed. The room consists of a Lever Switch that activates coins appearing temporarily and eight [[Sling Star]]s. The Sling Stars lead Mario to each other and they help him collect the coins.

In Beware of Bouldergeist, only the first part of the mansion with the Bowser statues is seen. Instead of a Boo painting however, there is a [[Bomb Boo]] painting. It is used to destroy the statues to get coins, or to destroy the statue in the fireplace to proceed onwards. There are also the boxes from the first mission. The fireplace contains a Launch Star.

===Phantom Tower Planets===

When Mario gets to the second [[Launch Star]] in Beware of Bouldergeist, he arrives at the first Phantom Tower Planet.<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PhantomTowerPlanet.arc)</ref> This planet contains Spoings, Pumpkinhead Goombas, [[Bomb Boos]], and a few [[Sling Pod]]s. At the top, there is a [[Sling Star]] that takes Mario to the second Phantom Tower Planet. Here, Mario must collect five blue [[Star Chip]]s to create [[Pull Star]]s leading to a Launch Star. This takes Mario to the Phantom Hole Planet with a bouncy ball, then to the Bouldergeist Battle Planet.

===Bouldergeist Battle Planet===
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Bouldergeist Planet.png|200px|thumb|The Bouldergeist Battle Planet.]]
The Bouldergeist Battle Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PoltaBattlePlanet.arc)</ref> is where Mario encounters Bouldergeist, a boss. This planet is shaped like a circle with platforms leading up to it. There is also [[Lumalee]] here. When Mario fights Bouldergeist, Bomb Boos appear. Besides them and a few coins, the planet is empty. When Bouldergeist is beaten, Mario earns a Power Star.

===Boo Race Zone===
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Race Area.png|thumb|left|200px|The Boo Race Zone.]]
The Boo Race Zone<ref>Zone name for the area when accessed in the WhiteHole ''Super Mario Galaxy'' level editor. It overlaps with the Purple Coin version of the course, meaning it is the same.</ref> is where Mario races the Spooky Speedster using Pull Stars. It is ringed by bones and there are multiple obstacles made of bones all around it along with a cluster of [[Mikey Mine|Space Mine]]s at the end. This zone is also where Mario collects 100 [[Purple Coin]]s in under one minute. This version of the Boo Race Zone is made up of [[Pull Star]]s and bones so the player does not get out of the boundaries. There is also some meat that bounces Mario in a different direction.

===Phantom Hole Planets===
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Bouncy Ball Planet.png|thumb|200px|The Phantom Hole Planet with the bouncy ball in the middle.]]
The Phantom Hole Planets<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PhantomHolePlanet.arc)</ref> are just the hollowed out rims of a planet, one of them has a pink bouncy ball in its center and Space Mines around it. Most of them do not have gravity barring the planet with the bouncy ball. Long Jumping for too long on this planet will result in a death.

===Darkness Room Planet===
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Matter Splatter Area.png|thumb|left|200px|The Darkness Room Planet.]]
The Darkness Room Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/DarknessRoomPlanet.arc)</ref> is an area very similar to the [[Matter Splatter Galaxy]]. It is apparently a crumbling mansion where Mario must follow spotlights of shifting matter to navigate through the mansion and get the Power Star.

===Star Peace Spouting Planets===
[[File:Star bit shooter planet.png|thumb|200px|Luigi on one of the Star Peace Spouting Planets]]
These are six small Star Peace Spouting Planets<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/StarPeaceSpoutingPlanet.arc). Note: Star Peace is a misspelling of "Star Piece".</ref>  that shoot from three to five Star Bits each. Mario only passes by them and can only reach one of them by doing the [[List of Super Mario Galaxy glitches#Pull Star Movement exploit|Pull Star movement exploit glitch]]. They seem to be made of metal by close examination and are covered by a purple covering. If looked at closely, the player can see small red stars on them.

===Planet Rocket===
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Space Ship Planet.png|thumb|left|100px|The Planet Rocket.]]
The Planet Rocket<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PlanetRocket.arc)</ref> appears only in the Luigi and the Haunted Mansion level and the levels with [[Bouldergeist]], and appears to be an exact replica of the planets of the same name from the [[Space Junk Galaxy]]. It has a similar appearance to [[Hocotate Ship|Olimar and Louie's ship]] from ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]''. Though it cannot actually be visited by [[Mario]], the player can look to the left just after landing on the Haunted Mansion in order to see it floating in space in the Luigi and the Haunted Mansion level, and above and to the left of the Bouldergeist Battle Planet in the Bouldergeist levels. A large amount of debris circles the ship.

The player can only reach the ship via hacking. The ship has little gravity that can be escaped with a single jump.<ref>The Beaverhouse (May 1, 2010).

===Boo Race Start Planet===
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Spooky Speedster Planet.png|thumb|200px|The Boo Race Start Planet.]]
The Boo Race Start Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/TeresaRaceStartPlanet.arc)</ref> is where the Spooky Speedster is found. It has multiple trees and all of the members of the [[Toad Brigade]] are there. There are several Star Bits in the trees, and the player starts the race with the Spooky Speedster here.

===Boo Race Goal Planet===
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Finish Line Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|The Boo Race Goal Planet.]]
The Boo Race Goal Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/TeresaRaceGoalPlanet.arc)</ref> is a ringed planet where the race with the Spooky Speedster ends. The ring acts as a wall which does not let Mario get across. However, if Mario does a backflip, wall jump and spin backwards, he can make it over. Another way back to the starting line is to take the Warp Pipe at the top of the planet.

===Blue Star Cupsule Planets===
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Pull Star Planets.png|thumb|200px|The Blue Star Cupsule Planets.]]
The Blue Star Cupsule Planets<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/BlueStarCupsulePlanet.arc). Note: "Cupsule" is a misspelling of "capsule".</ref> are two capsule-like planets in the middle of the Boo Race Zone. Their only feature is that they have [[Pull Star]]s in the middle of them that will let Mario go across.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ghostbackgrounds.png|thumb|300px|For comparison: ''Super Mario Galaxy''{{'}}s version on the left, and ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''{{'}}s on the right.]]
*The first four notes of the music that plays in this galaxy (as well as during the mission [[Boo in a Box]] in [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]) spells D-E-A-D.
*Ghostly Galaxy's background, along with a [[Bonefin Galaxy|couple]] [[Boo's Boneyard Galaxy|others]] is actually a slightly edited version of that of the [[zeldawiki:Ghost Ship (The Wind Waker)|Ghost Ship]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''.
