The '''Grandmaster Galaxy''' is the final galaxy of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', located in [[World S]]. It is analogous to the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' because the player must collect all 240 [[Power Star]]s (without any [[Bronze Star]]s) and [[Green Star]]s to unlock it. It contains two Power Stars: one for completing the level and another one for a second completion under [[Prankster Comet#Daredevil Comet|Daredevil Comet]] conditions. In the latter case, the player gets the Star from [[Rosalina]]. This is the only galaxy where Green Stars do not appear because the player has to collect all of the Green Stars in the game in order to unlock this galaxy.

If the player collects all Stars and then completes this galaxy, a special message will appear on their [[Wii]] Message Board, both congratulating and thanking the player for completing the game 100%.

This galaxy starts a trend in future ''Super Mario'' titles of a challenging level being unlocked after completing everything else in the game (or otherwise meeting certain post-game unlock criteria), inspiring [[Special 8-Crown]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', [[Champion's Road]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', the [[Darker Side]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', and [[The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.
==Planets/Areas==
'''NOTE''': Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.
===Starting Area===
[[File:SMG2 Grandmaster Starting Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario and Yoshi in the {{conjectural|Starting Area|planet}}]]
In the first area, Mario has to use [[Yoshi]] to swing on the flower grapples to reach the [[Launch Star]] at the end of the area. There are several obstacles along the way, such as [[Mikey Mine|Space Mine]]s and [[Bullet Bill]]s. [[Paragoomba]]s appear in The Ultimate Test and are replaced by [[Choppah]]s in The Perfect Run. A Toad can also be found on this planet and will shout Yoshi's name when spoken to.

===Flipswitch Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Grandmaster Flipswitch Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|The {{conjectural|Flipswitch Planet|planet}}]]
After using the [[Launch Star]] from the first planet, Mario lands on a planet with [[Flipswitch Panel]]s. It has a backdrop showing moving sprites of items from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Mario has to activate all 21 Flipswitch Panels while avoiding [[Sentry Beam]]s to reveal the Launch Star.

===Electric Maze Area===

[[File:SMG2 Grandmaster Electric Maze Start.png|thumb|left|200px|The start of the area]]
After landing, Mario finds a [[Cloud Flower]] and a fan producing an upward gust. Mario has to use the Cloud Flower to maneuver to the Launch Star at the end of the area, with more Cloud Flowers subsequently being supplied along the way. There is also a [[1-Up Mushroom]] at the top left which can be reached using the Cloud Flower.
{{br}}

===Platform Planets===
[[File:SMG2 Grandmaster Platform Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|The {{conjectural|Platform Planets|planets}}]]
This area contains planets made of [[shrinking platform]]s and [[Red-Blue Panel]]s. [[Rocto]]s and [[Pulse Beam]]s are also found in the area. Mario has to avoid all the obstacles in order to successfully reach the Launch Star to the next area at the end of the section.

===Pull Star Area===

[[File:SMG2PullStarFigures.png|thumb|200px|The three figures in the background]]
In the beginning of the area, there are some electrified blocks followed by a long segment of [[Pull Star]]s, which Mario must use to reach the Launch Star while avoiding electrical currents, Space Mines, and [[Paragoomba]]s. The [[Shiverburn Galaxy#"Tree" Easter Egg|three figures]] from [[Shiverburn Galaxy]] are visible in the background of this area.
{{br}}

===Hammer Bro Planets===
[[File:SMG2 Grandmaster Hammer Bro Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|The {{conjectural|Hammer Bro Planets|planets}}]]
This planet has many [[Hammer Bro]]s., which Mario must avoid or defeat to reach the other side. There are also [[Flomp]]s present in this area.

The ending platform has three [[Boomerang Bro]]s., which Mario must defeat to reveal a [[Power Star]] (or a Launch Star in the Daredevil run). Note that defeating the Hammer Bros. is not necessary for getting the Power/Launch Star to appear.

The [[Comet Medal]] for this galaxy is located on the far right side of these planets, next to some platforms with some torches (as shown on the screenshot). In The Perfect Run, the Comet Medal is replaced with a [[1-Up Mushroom]].
{{br}}

===Gate Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Grandmaster Gate Planet.png|thumb|200px|The {{conjectural|Gate Planet|planet}}]]
This area is only accessible during The Perfect Run. It is a small planet with a small house and strongly resembles the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|Gate]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. [[Rosalina]] and the final [[Power Star]] are found on this planet. There is also a [[1-Up Mushroom]] behind the house. If Mario falls off the planet, he loses a life and has to go back to the start.
