World 3, known in the file selection menu as The Far Reaches of the Universe, is a world traveled to in Super Mario Galaxy 2. World 3 is an area that contains a green nebula and many green comets and stars. Like the other worlds, there are seven galaxies in World 3, including a boss galaxy, Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet. Here, Bowser Jr. launches a second attack on Mario, this time with his giant robot Megahammer.
