All forty-nine Galaxies can be accessed via the Grand World Map by piloting Starship Mario through the different worlds and galaxies. There are seven more galaxies in this game than in the first game. Galaxies marked with an asterisk (*) are only accessible by feeding a Hungry Luma. Additionally, each galaxy has a number of Green Stars, the amount of which is equal to the amount of Power Stars in the galaxy.

Gameplay
Super Mario 64 takes place in and around Princess Peach's Castle, which has been taken over by Bowser, and the paintings within the castle lead to other worlds, called courses. The objective of Super Mario 64 is to collect enough Power Stars, defeat Bowser, and rescue Princess Peach. To collect Power Stars, Mario needs to travel between various courses and complete missions or solve puzzles. There are a total of 120 Power Stars in the game, though only 70 need to be collected in order to complete the game. The Power Stars are split between the fifteen main courses, nine secret courses, and other objectives.
