Ray surfing



Ray surfing is one of the two minigames from Super Mario Galaxy, the other being Bob-omb Blasting. Ray surfing appears in two galaxies, Loopdeeloop Galaxy and Loopdeeswoop Galaxy. In the Loopdeeloop Galaxy, the player is taught how to ray surf by Coach. After he collects the galaxy's Power Star, Mario or Luigi (depending on who is being played) is considered a champion surfer. In both galaxies, the player must surf on Ray, using it as a surf board to traverse a course made up of water.
