World 5, known in the file selection menu as Trial of the Galaxies, is the fifth world featured in Super Mario Galaxy 2. World 5 is a galaxy cluster. It holds seven galaxies, the last of which, Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker, features the third and last encounter with Bowser Jr., who now attacks with his Boomsday Machine.

This is the only world in the game where Yoshi does not appear in any galaxy. This is also the only world without any Speedy Comet or Purple Coin missions.
