Bigmouth Galaxy

"This is my hideaway. It's the perfect spot for fishing...and being left alone!"

- Penguru

The Bigmouth Galaxy is a galaxy unlocked by feeding a Hungry Luma in Super Mario Galaxy. The galaxy consists of one large planet shaped like a fish with a wide open mouth that has stalagmites resembling teeth. The majority of the galaxy's sole mission takes place in a large body of water, which is accessed via the mouth. Gringills, Boos, and Preying Mantas appear in the water.

This is the main planet of the area. It is strangely shaped like a fish. Its interior is full of water. In the belly of the planet are two lakes, one on the floor and on on the roof. Several Jellyfish and Gringills live in the bottom lake. When the player enters the fish's mouth, there will be two Boos near the entrance. If the player returns from the lake with the Gold Shell to where the Boos were, there will be lots more of them.

These planets consist of small spheres of water and are seen positioned around the Starting Planet. They are inaccessible and cannot be explored without hacking. These planets do not have gravity.

Bigmouth's Gold Bait
Mario begins this mission on the beach inside the fish's lower jaw. On this beach is a gold treasure chest and a green Koopa Troopa, whose Green Shell cannot be used to break the chest open. Penguru remarks that the chest can only be opened with a Gold Shell. Mario must dive into the fish's mouth, break through the wall of Brick Blocks by Spinning or ramming into it with a Green Shell, and collect the five Star Chips found in the area beyond to form a Sling Star. The Sling Star sends Mario upward into another body of water (which could also be reached by performing a Wall Jump on the wall in the small area between the two bodies of water) that contains the Gold Shell. On the way back to the beach, Mario must make it safely past several Boos that have now appeared in the water (a beam of light emitted from the front of the Gold Shell can defeat the Boos and make this easier). Using the Gold Shell, Mario must break open the treasure chest on the beach to free the trapped Toad Brigade Captain, who will present Mario with the mission's Power Star.

Trivia

 * Bigmouth Galaxy may be named after an actual fish that is sometimes called the bigmouth bass.
 * Circling around the background of the galaxy is a blue line and the space below the line has a water texture, giving the appearance that the galaxy is a pond with a fish in it.
 * It is possible to reach the Gold Shell without collecting the Star Chips. This can be done by swimming to the surface of the large body of water and performing a wall jump into the water on the ceiling.
 * Bigmouth Galaxy actually shares a few similarities with Slimy Spring Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy 2. Captain Toad is stuck inside a treasure chest at the end of the galaxy, underwater sections are meant to be navigated with a shell, and a large hoard of Boos appears in the water.
