The Gold Leaf Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy that can be accessed from the Engine Room. The galaxy is an autumn version of Honeyhive Galaxy, with the galaxy's file name even being titled "ReverseKingdomGalaxy", and it even shares the music from said galaxy, though it has some changes, such as the removal of the cave behind the waterfall, the watch tower now being an observatory and relocated, and the addition of Cataquacks.

This is one of the three bee-themed galaxies in the game, the other two being the Honeyhive Galaxy and Honeyclimb Galaxy, though it is the only bee-themed galaxy to not have "honey" in the name.

Planets/Areas[edit]

Reverse Kingdom Planet[edit]

The Reverse Kingdom Planet[1] is almost identical to the main planet of the Honeyhive Galaxy, but it contains some differences. To the left of the starting area, there are Star Bits that form the letter "L", most likely referring to Luigi, and to the right, the Star Bits form the letter "M", most likely referring to Mario. The planet also contains leaf piles that release a coin or three Star Bits when the player Spins them. A ? Coin can be found under the planet, and when it is collected, it transforms into a Sling Star and a line of coins that lead to a Warp Pipe at the top of the waterfall. The player can also obtain a 1-Up Mushroom at the top of the skinny tree on the structure housing boulders.

In the first mission "Star Bunnies on the Hunt", five Blue Star Chips scattered across the planet which must be found by Mario, who is given hints to their locations by the Star Bunnies. In the second mission "Cataquack to the Skies", many blue Cataquacks that are owned by the Honeybees cover the starting planet. In the third mission "When It Rains, It Pours", an observation deck appears on the planet. The observation deck is taken over by the Undergrunt Gunner, which is an Undergrunt in a bubble cannon.

The Bump Appear Planet[2] is a big wooden planet with several water pools with grates over them. A switch can be found on this planet, which moves the grates and makes wooden pegs pop out of the ground. Sliding blocks appear on the planet. These blocks can slide around and appear to be transparent.

Poihana Relay Planet[edit]

Mario on the Poihana Relay Planet

The Poihana Relay Planet[3] is a small wooden planet with a small pool, two Wigglers, and a Cataquack. By causing the Cataquack to stand on its symbol, Mario can be launched up to the next planet.

Poihana Maze Planet[edit]

The Poihana Maze Planet[4] is a small planet that has a resemblance to the Puzzle Cube from the Gusty Garden Galaxy. It features a maze with many crates. Similary to the Poihana Relay Planet, Mario must lead the Cataquack on the planet through the maze to get it to stand on its designated symbol. The Cataquack can then launch Mario up to the next planet.

M Shape Relay Planet[edit]

Mario on the M Shape Relay Planet

The M Shape Relay Planet[5] is a line shaped like a "M" that contains three Cataquacks. Like the previous planets, Mario must lure one of the Cataquacks to stand on the end of the planet, which allows it to launch Mario up to reach the next planet.

Flower Planet[edit]

The Flower Planet[6] is a big round planet with a grass, dirt, and pool area and a floating flowers. There are also two tall towers, with one sharing a close resemblance to a Jenga tower. A Power Star can be located at the end of the floating garden. The Flower Planet is stated to be the Cataquacks' place of origin.[7]
