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.


The first thing Mario does in this galaxy is board a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] [[Starshroom|ship]], which always leads to the starting planet. The starting planet has about 3 [[Swooper]]s and 3 [[Goomba|Pumpkin Goombas]]. There is a spike that contains a [[Rainbow Star]] when [[Star Spin|Star Spinned]] that could be used for destroying the [[Chain Chomp]] [[Chomp Head|Heads]] in the first mission. In the third mission, there are 3 [[Scuttle Bug]]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]].
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.


===Mansion Planet===
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.
The Mansion Planet is a planet that resembles [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]] in this galaxy. It is visited only in the first and third missions, though the third mission only has part of the Mansion. In the first mission, when Mario (or Luigi) enters the Mansion, he will come face-to-face to his first [[Boo]] in the game, providing that the player has not decided to skip this galaxy and go to another Boo containing galaxy (i.e. [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]). The Boo can be exterminated with a ray of light that gets turned on by a switch near the door. Also, there are some boxes near the edges of the room. Some of them contains [[Toad (species)|Toads]] that give Mario information, while others give him [[Coin]]s and [[Star Bits]]. There are also some [[Bowser]] Statues near the Boxes.


There is a painting of a Boo on top of the stairs and when Mario goes near it, the Boo spouts out, and when it is defeated, a key appears. After the plumber enters the door, he is now faced the challenge of finding the 5 [[Star Chips]] that makes a Launch Star that goes to the upper floor of the mansion. While finding the Star Chips, some Pumpkin Heads are there to make life difficult for Mario. Once he is on the upper floor, ha can go left and finds some [[Coin]]s to add to his collection. But while Mario is collecting the 2 coins, he astonishingly sees Luigi trapped in a prison (or if the player is using Luigi, his "twin" is what's trapped). To save Luigi, Mario goes to the right and collects the Key to unlock the door. Going through it, he finds 2 Boos that appear in front of him, he kills them by Star Spinning them into a ray of light. Further on is an unreadable sign in the Boo language. Distraught, the hero goes forward to meet a [[? Coin]], and the first Boo Mushroom in the game appears right in front of the hero's eyes. Mario can now read the sign which reveals to be a [[Jill Board]] who teaches him how to be a Boo. The plumber then goes through the bars while invisible, and enters another room. He then encounters a Boo, who seems to find Mario incredibly attractive and decides to persuit him. When the Boo touches Mario, he loses his Boo powers and his true human identity is revealed, infuriating the Boo. The plumber then has to defeat the ghost by turning it into the light. Mario then continues on to get another Boo Mushroom near the corner, and uses it to pass through the walls to rescue Luigi.

{{br}}


In the third mission, only the first part of the mansion (with the Bowser statues) is seen. Instead of a Boo painting however, it is a [[Bomb Boo]]. 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 same boxes from the first mission, which contain coins, Star Bits, or Toads. When Mario enters the fireplace he is automatically inside a Launch Star, and is sent away to his next mission.
===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.


===Bone Pen Planets===
===Boo Race Zone===
The Bone Pen Planets are planets prior and after to the real Bone Pen. They are your typical planets: round and able to walk "upside down". There are some trees with faces that have star bits on thier brancheson the first one. Also some  shells are girded along the ground which the plumber may Star Spin near to get some Star Bits. The [[Spooky Speedster]] is found here. The second one is much like the first one but it has a ring that is conected to the planet. The ring makes the other side of the planet hard to get to so Mario has to do a back flip over the ring to get there.
[[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.


===Cracked Wall Planets===
===Phantom Hole Planets===
When Mario gets to the 2nd Launch Star in Mission 3, he will arrive here. This Planet contains some Cosmic Scuttlebugs, Pumpkin Goombas, and a few [[Sling Pod]]s. At the top, there is a Sling Star that will take Mario to the second Cracked Wall Planet. Here, the player must collect five Blue Star Chips to create Pull Stars to a Launch Star. This will take Mario to a bouncy Planet, then to the Bouldergeist Planet.
[[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.


===Bouldergeist Planet===
===Darkness Room Planet===
[[Image:Bouldergeist.jpg|thumb|Mario fighting Bouldergeist on the Bouldergeist 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.


This Planet is where Mario encounters the Boss, Bouldergeist. This planet is shaped like a circle with platforms leading up to it. There is also a [[Luma Shop]] here. When Mario fights Bouldergeist, Bomb Boos will appear. Besides this and a few coins, the Planet is empty. When Bouldergeist is beaten, the player will earn a 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.


===Bone Pen===
===Planet Rocket===
[[Image:Bone Pen.jpg|thumb|Mario collecting Purple Coins in the Bone Pen.]]
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Space Ship Planet.png|thumb|left|100px|The Planet Rocket.]]
While techinaclly not a planet, it is is worth mentioning. It is where you race the Spooky Speedster and collect 100 [[Purple Coin|Purple Coins]] in under 1 minute also 60 seconds. The Bone Pen is basically made up of [[Pull Star|Pull Star]] and bones so the player does not get out of the boundaries. After a while, there is a cow skull that lifts one of its 6 horns to stop the love of Princess Peach. There is also some meat that bounces Mario in a different direction.
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.


==Levels==
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). [https://youtu.be/-HMwNdGj3WM?t=299s ''Super Mario Galaxy'' Hacks Episode 13: Where Are The Pikmin When You Need Them?]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved December 18, 2011.</ref>
===Luigi and the Haunted Mansion===
At first, Mario starts off on the [[Toad Brigade]]'s [[Starshroom|ship]], but has to use a [[Launch Star]] to reach the pathway into the mansion. Pumpkin Goombas litter the pathway, so [[Mario]] must be careful. [[Boo]]s are inside the mansion, but a switch activates a swinging beam of light, which Mario has to lure them into to defeat them and get the items they are guarding. One of the [[Boo]]s has a key to get deeper into the mansion.


Soon, Star Chips can be collected to rebuild a Launch Star which will then be located in one of the windows where a black hole was before. Using the Launch Star, Mario is then launched into another part of the mansion, where Luigi is calling for help beyond an impassable window. Mario will have to find another way inside, where he discovers a new power-up, the [[Boo Mushroom]]. As [[Boo Mario]], he needs to vanish to pass through the bars, but he must be careful as a beam of light which will make him lose the Boo Suit is in the next area. Mario needs to return to normal before he can speak with Luigi to get the Power Star.
===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.


===A Very Spooky Sprint===
===Boo Race Goal Planet===
[[Image:speedster.jpg|thumb|left|Mario starting to race the Speedster.]]
[[File:SMG Ghostly Galaxy Finish Line Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|The Boo Race Goal Planet.]]
In this level, Mario must blast to the edge of the galaxy and race the [[Spooky Speedster]] through an area that looks like the Bone Pen.
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.


===Beware of Bouldergeist===
===Blue Star Cupsule Planets===
[[Mario]] is informed by a member of the Toad Brigade that [[Luigi]] has been kidnapped by "The monster that lives up ahead". Mario will have to find his way to a circular stone platform and then meets [[Bouldergeist]], a ghost with the ability to control stone. Mario will have to defeat Bouldergeist with [[Bomb Boo]]s. After taking an amount of damage it eventually explodes, leaving behind a [[Power Star]].
[[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.


===Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run===
==Enemies==
Very similiar to ''Beware of Bouldergeist'', however Mario starts on the boss planet with a health max. of 1. This mission, until completed, is only available while a [[Prankster Comet|Daredevil Comet]] is in orbit. It is a very hard star to get since there are many ways to get hurt.

===Purple Coins in the Bone Pen===
==Missions==
[[Mario]] starts off on a small planet with the "Bone Pen" in front of it. The Bone Pen features bones as walls, meaty bones as bumpers, spiky balls as obstacles, and Pull Stars for getting around. Thre are more than 100 [[Purple Coins]], but only 100 have to be collected by the player before the Power Star appears in the center of the pen. This mission, until completed, is only available when a Purple Comet is in orbit, and has a one minute time limit.

===Matter Splatter Mansion===
==Gallery==
A mission similar to the [[Matter Splatter Galaxy]]. While playing the level "A Very Spooky Sprint", the ring shaped planet containing pumpkin-headed [[Goomba]]s also has two breakable stalagmites. One contains a [[Rainbow Star]], and the other contains a Launch Star to the Matter Splatter Mansion (there is a sort of light around the one with the launch star). Platforms and rooms only exist when a sort of "Spot Light" comes over them. The [[Player]] will need to go through, getting keys, and unlocking doors to get through; eventually, there will be a [[Power Star]] behind one of the doors.

*In the level "Beware of Bouldergeist", a Toad at the beginning of the level said Bouldergeist kidnapped Luigi, although Luigi does not make an appearance in the level. It is assumed, however that Bouldergeist is the creature that brought Luigi to the Ghostly Galaxy, as seen it the first level,"Luigi and the Haunted Mansion".

Ghostly Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. Many elements of this area are of a haunted theme, and Mario can find Boo Mushrooms that turn him into a 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 Houses 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[edit]

Boo Mansion Gate Planet[edit]

The Green Starshroom near the Boo Mansion Gate Planet.

The starting point is a Green Starshroom, which has a Launch Star leading to the Boo Mansion Gate Planet.[1] The starting planet has three bats and three Pumpkinhead Goombas. There is a spike that spawns a Rainbow Star when spun, which can be used for destroying the Chomps in the first mission. In the third mission, there are three Spranglers. 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[edit]

"Haunted Mansion" redirects here. For the recurring level archetype in the Super Mario franchise, see Ghost House.

The beginning part before entering the 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 Toads that give Mario information, while others give him Coins and Star Bits. There are also some Bowser statues near the crates.

The top floor of the mansion.

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 Pumpkinhead Goombas. 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 Stars. 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[edit]

The second of the Phantom Tower Planets.

When Mario gets to the second Launch Star in Beware of Bouldergeist, he arrives at the first Phantom Tower Planet.[2] This planet contains Spoings, Pumpkinhead Goombas, Bomb Boos, and a few Sling Pods. At the top, there is a Sling Star that takes Mario to the second Phantom Tower Planet. Here, Mario must collect five blue Star Chips to create Pull Stars leading to a Launch Star. This takes Mario to the Phantom Hole Planet with a bouncy ball, then to the Bouldergeist Battle Planet.

The Bouldergeist Battle Planet[3] 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[edit]

The Boo Race Zone.

The Boo Race Zone[4] 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 Space Mines at the end. This zone is also where Mario collects 100 Purple Coins in under one minute. This version of the Boo Race Zone is made up of Pull Stars 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[edit]

The Phantom Hole Planets[5] 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[edit]

The Darkness Room Planet.

The Darkness Room Planet[6] 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[edit]

These are six small Star Peace Spouting Planets[7] that shoot from three to five Star Bits each. Mario only passes by them and can only reach one of them by doing the 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[edit]

The Planet Rocket.

The Planet Rocket[8] 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 Olimar and Louie's ship from 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.[9]

Boo Race Start Planet[edit]

The Boo Race Start Planet.

The Boo Race Start Planet[10] 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[edit]

The Boo Race Goal Planet.

The Boo Race Goal Planet[11] 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[edit]

The Blue Star Cupsule Planets.

The Blue Star Cupsule Planets[12] are two capsule-like planets in the middle of the Boo Race Zone. Their only feature is that they have Pull Stars in the middle of them that will let Mario go across.
