Chompworks Galaxy

"If ya got time to talk, then ya got time to keep the Chomps rolling!"

- Gearmo

Chompworks Galaxy is a galaxy appearing the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is the only galaxy to revolve around the use of the Spring Mushroom. Gearmos inhabit the area. Incoming Chomps, as the galaxy's name implies, are the most common enemy here, usually blocking the path to a Launch Star. There are also revolving platforms that resemble bolts that Mario must traverse to gain the Power Star. There are several Star Bit constellations that are shaped like Incoming Chomps.

The Starting Planet is separated into two sections. On the bottom portion, there are a few Gearmos, a couple Octoombas, and a hole with the figure of a Chomp above it. If a Chomp is lead into this hole, it will reveal a Launch Star. At the top portion, Chomps in a straight line, crashing into a wall. The Comet Medal is found above the Chomps. During the Spring into the Chompworks mission, a Spring Mushroom can be found on the bottom and the Launch Star is located at the top.

This planet, as the name implies, is surrounded by lava. During the Where the Chomps are Made of Gold mission, the planet has one large Incoming Chomp generator. To the right are some cubical platforms that have miniature Incoming Chomps moving in a circular path. There is a Warp Pipe and a Launch Star there as well. Durng the Spring into the Chompworks mission, the cubical platforms are eliminated and the player can travel on top of the large Incoming Chomp generator. Atop this generator is another path with a smaller generator and a Launch Star.

Just like in Flip Swap Galaxy, this planet has red and blue platforms that flip when the player performs a Star Spin. There are also platforms that tilt to the side that the player is standing on, much like a seesaw. The player has to use the flip and tilt platforms to make the Incoming Chomp enter the Chomp Hole and reveal a Launch Star. Octoombas can be found on this planet as well.

This planet is also covered in lava and is in the shape of a circle. A piece of metal forms the zig-zag shape of a Chomp's mouth. This planet is infested with Metallic Goombas. Golden Chomps spawn from the lava puddle in the back of the planet and it must be brought to a hole in the ground on the other side of the planet. During the Cosmic Clones in the Chompworks mission, many Cosmic Clones infest the area.

The Spring Tower Planet is shaped like a castle and is visited only during the Spring into the Chompworks mission. This planet has some platforms that help Spring Mario reach the top and grab the Power Star. Some of them are shaped like nuts that rotate in a circular fashion while there are some platforms that move sideways or up and down. The enemies encountered here are Paragoombas. The farthest right and left sides feature conical towers shaped like drills. This planet strongly resembles the Tower Planet from the Fluffy Bluff Galaxy.

Where the Chomps are Made of Gold
To get this Power Star and complete this mission, Mario has to make his way to the Raising Platforms Planet. To do so, he has to make one of the Incoming Chomps fall into the Chomp Hole in the first planet and take the Launch Star. Mario will find himself on the Lava Planet. Here, he has to make his way to the Launch Star while avoiding the rolling Chomps. On the next planet, he has to pull the lever found at the far left of the level and make the rolling chomp fall into another hole to reveal a Launch Star.

When Mario gets on this planet, using the ! Switches to make platforms rise, he has to jump on them before they go down again. Then, he has to bring the Golden Chomp, located at the planet's end, over to the entrance's hole. When he falls, he'll transform into a Power Star.

Spring into the Chompworks
When Mario visits this galaxy for the second time, he'll find Spring Mushrooms on planets. To complete this mission, Mario must use the first Launch Star located on the first planet's obstacle. On the Lava Planet, the player will notice that the small platforms disappeared. To get past the Incoming Chomps, Mario can jump over them using the Spring Mario form. He can also do a backflip then spin over them. When he gets past them, a smaller version of Incoming Chomps will roll toward him, though Mario doesn't need the Spring Mushroom this time. The Launch Star is located at the end of the planet.

When using it, Mario will get on the Castle Planet. He must use the Spring Mushroom to get to its top and grab the Power Star.

Cosmic Clones in the Chompworks

Green Star 1
This Star is located on the first planet. It is placed in space near the platform of rolling Incoming Chomps. The player has to perform a long jump to reach it.

Green Star 2
This Green Star is located on the roof of the third planet, visible when using the Launch Star to travel from the second planet to the third planet, though once on the third planet the star will be out of view. To reach the Star, Mario/Luigi can either side-somersault towards the wall, wall-jump off the wall and then spin backwards to the star, triple-jump towards the wall and then Spin Jump into the Star, or backwards-somersault to the star.

Green Star 3
To get this star, Mario (or Luigi) has to redo the "Spring into the Chompworks" mission. When he arrives on the Castle Planet, he will have to get to the right drill pillar and jump to get the Green Star.

Trivia

 * It should be noted that when leaving the Lava Planet during the Spring into the Chompworks mission, some Star Bits are arranged to form an outline of Pacman.
