Cosmic Cove Galaxy

Cosmic Cove Galaxy is a galaxy in World 2 in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. Penguins, Snoodles and Skeeters inhabit this galaxy. Coach and Penguru can also be found here.

Cosmic Cove
This planet consists of a vast lake with lots of corals in it, Koopas, Snoodles and Cheep Cheeps as well. There are several Penguins here. There is also a stone tower with a Ground Pound Switch on the other side of the lake that freezes the lake when ground pounded on. Sling Stars can be found in the water that hurl Mario or Luigi up in the air so the player can collect Star Bits.

Twin Falls Planets
These are small grassy planets that can only be accessed after freezing the waterfalls between them. A Star is found in one of them.

Cosmic Cavern
This part of the galaxy consists of an underwater sidescroller section with a few Penguins, Brick Blocks and Gringills in it.

Water Maze
This area has a body of water hovering in the space, surrounded by several small Black Holes. All the liquid of the area forms a maze, with some platforms floating over the surface. Near the end of the area there are some red-framed tubes with large cubical water bubbles moving through them, and a bunch of Star Bits forming a Star in the background. Mines, Goombas and a Jellyfish can be found here. Mario visits this planet to move around in a side-scrolling effect to find a Key and meet a Penguin in this spot. This area can be only accessed through Warp Pipes. The floating bodies of water are similar to the ones from World 7-2 in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Star Bunny Planet
After feeding the Hungry Luma in the first planet fifteen coins, it'll transform into this planet and some Skeeters. It has a Star Bunny that challanges Mario to catch it. It also has a blue ! Switch that freezes the water if Mario pounds it. The player must be careful not to fall in the Black Hole in the center of the planet.

Starshroom
During the second mission, Mario will land on this ship where he'll find the Toad Brigade Captain who tell Mario that there is a Power Star on the other planet. There also a Checkpoint Flag that Mario can pass through before using the Launch Star to blast off to the next planet.

Spherical Planet
This planet is a spherical stone shape form. Mario arrive on bottom side of the planet full of Fizzlits here. There also a Spin Drill that Mario must use to get to the other side of the planet. Here, there are some Mecha-Koopas which Mario must destroy to unlock the shield protecting a dust patch. When using the drill on it, water will come out and cover the planet. Mario has to swim to platfrom where the Power Star is located.

Twin Falls Hideaway
To complete this mission, Mario has to dive underwater and swim until he reachs a couple of stairs. Then, he must climb them to get to the top of the stone tower where a switch is located. After pounding it, the water in this area will freeze making Mario able to reach the twin falls' tops. To do so, he has to make a Wall Jump on each one of them. The Power Star is in a crystal on the left area. After breaking the crystal, the Star will go to the other side. Mario must jump there and get it. A penguin can be found on Starship Mario after completing this mission.

Exploring the Cosmic Cavern
Upon entering the galaxy for the second time, Mario will find a Luma trapped in a glass cage. And, since he activated the switch in the first mission, the water in this one is also frozen. To get the Key and free the Luma, Mario has to run across the frozen water until he reaches a green Warp Pipe. He must use it to get into an underwater cavern. Here, he has to make his way to its bottom and use another Warp Pipe. This one will lead him to the last area. Here, he has to dive in the globes of water. He should make his way through them until he finds the area with the key.

After getting the key, the plumber must go through the last warp pipe which takes him back to the galaxy's entrance. The Luma will thank Mario and transform into a Launch Star.

When using it, he'll find himself on a mushroom-like planet, he'll find the captain of the Toad Brigade on it. He'll say that there is a Power Star on the other planet. To reach it, Mario must use the Launch Star found on this planet.

In the next planet, Mario has to use the Spin Drill on the right spot to get to the other side. Here, he has to defeat all of the enemies using the drill. When done so, the shield protecting a dust patch will be disabled. When using the drill on it, water will come out and cover all the planet. Mario has to swim in it to reach the Power Star.

Catch that Star Bunny
To complete this mission, Mario first needs to collect fifteen coins in the first area. Then, dive underwater and progress until he gets to the area with the Hungry Luma. After feeding it fifteen coins, it'll transform into a new planet leaving a Launch Star behind it. When Mario gets to this new planet, a Star Bunny will challange him to catch it. To go faster, Mario has to freeze the water on this planet by using the blue ! Switch. If the plumber manages to catch it, he'll be granted with a Power Star.
