World S

"Wow! Can ya believe it?! This must be that strange, legendary world we've been hearing rumors about! There are even more Power Stars around here! So! Let's go get 'em, Captain!"

- Lubba

World S: Here We Go!, also known as Special World, is the seventh and last world featured in Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is located high in the sky of an unknown planet with colorful star-shaped islands. It has a rainbow in the background. This world is shaped like an "S", hinting at its name, and has no forked directions. It holds a total of seven galaxies, the last of which, the Grandmaster Galaxy, can only be accessed by collecting all 120 Power Stars as well as all 120 Green Stars. It is unlocked after the player defeats Bowser for the first time. This world's appearance is hinted at by a Bob-omb brought back from Throwback Galaxy, who asks about the "strange, legendary world" in a manner similar to Lubba's.

This world's music is a remix of Gusty Garden Galaxy's music from the original Super Mario Galaxy.

Trivia

 * All the galaxies in this world except Flip-Out Galaxy are references to the previous 3D Mario games. Mario Squared Galaxy, Stone Cyclone Galaxy, Boss Blitz Galaxy and Grandmaster Galaxy are references to Super Mario Galaxy, Rolling Coaster Galaxy is a reference to Super Mario 64, and Twisty Trials Galaxy is a reference to Super Mario Sunshine. These references are likely due to the nature of Super Mario Galaxy 2 being released on the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros..
 * This is the only world in the entire game where every galaxy has two regular missions, and all but one have two Green Star levels.
 * No galaxy in this world has a Teleporter that leads to a Bonus Planet.
