Drip Drop Galaxy
- “Ever since those big eels showed up, we haven't caught ANY fish!”
- —Penguru, Super Mario Galaxy
The Drip Drop Galaxy is a galaxy in the game Super Mario Galaxy. The player must feed a Hungry Luma 600 Star Bits to unlock the galaxy. It is essentially a large planet made almost entirely of water, with a small sandy core and two small floating islands. Sitting on the core of this galaxy, on the bottom of the sea, are some boulders. There is a sunken airship, as well as a sunken Starshroom and a volcanic vent. The planet is inhabited by thirteen Penguins, three Gringills, and various fish, including some Porcupuffers that are located inside treasure chests. Torpedo Teds are also shot from various areas underwater.
Planets/Areas
Tear Drop Planet
Tear Drop Planet[1] is the main planet that is made mostly of water with the exception of a sand core and two islands. Three Gringills patrol the waters and keep the penguins from catching any fish. On the sandy core, there is a sunken airship, as well as a mysterious sunken Starshroom. No explanation for these is ever made in the game, and it can only be assumed that they were involved in some form of collision.
Mission
Giant Eel Outbreak
Giant Eel Outbreak is the only level of the Drip Drop Galaxy. Three Gringills are swimming underwater and thanks to this, the Penguins can't fish anymore because the eels are eating all the fish. Mario agrees to help out and dives to the bottom of the sea. Mario must find Koopa Shells and hit the Gringills with them to defeat them. Mario can get a Red Shell from one chest. After Mario has defeated all of the Gringills, the Power Star will appear on top of a sunken ship.
Finishing this level and collecting fifty-five stars will make the Bonefin Galaxy accessible from the Engine Room.
