The Drip Drop Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy and its Nintendo Switch port. 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 resembling the ones guarding King Kaliente, as well as a sunken Starshroom and a volcanic vent. The planet is inhabited by thirteen penguins, three Gringills, and various fish, including some Spiny Cheep-Cheeps that are located inside treasure chests. Torpedo Teds are also shot from various areas underwater.
The Drip Drop Galaxy is the only galaxy not accessed from inside a dome that unlocks another galaxy upon the completion of a mission, being the Bonefin Galaxy.
The Drip Drop Galaxy also briefly appears in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, where Princess Peach and Toad launch through the planet's water on their way to the Gateway Galaxy. Unlike the game, Bloopers are shown to be living in the water.
Layout[edit]
The planet 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 sunken Starshroom. This planet somewhat resembles the inaccessible water planets in the Good Egg Galaxy.
