Good Egg Galaxy

The Good Egg Galaxy (originally known as Egg Planet Galaxy) is the second galaxy Mario must venture to in Super Mario Galaxy. It is the first galaxy within the Terrace dome.

The Good Egg Galaxy if one of the few galaxies with no set theme that continues to be visible throughout the planets. It has different planets with many contradictry themes much like a true galaxy. Dino Piranha and King Kaliente are the bosses in this galaxy.

Starting Planet
The Starting Planet is multi-sided; there is a light side and a dark side. On the light side there is grass, trees and bushes with Star Bits and Coins hidden in them. There is also a pleasant house with two Electrogoombas guarding the front. There are several bridges on the sides that lead to the dark side of the planet. Inside the house there is a ? Coin which releases several Rainbow Notes that will play the underground theme from Super Mario Bros. while Mario gets them. After getting them all a 1-Up Mushroom will appear.

The darker side of the planet has many dead trees with star bits in their branches and a constant rain of Star Bits coming down from above which makes it, arguably, the best location to get Star Bits in the galaxy. In the center of the planet there is a giant tower with a special side that bends the laws of Gravity and allows Mario to walk up. There is a Goomba guarding that side.

In the levels there will be Launch Stars placed in three different locations; where the launch star is depends on the level. In the levels Dino Piranha, Dino Piranha Speed Run and Luigi on the Roof it can be found at the top of the tower and leads to the Boulder Planet though in Luigi on the Roof, Luigi is located on top of the house so there is no point in taking the Launch Star. In A Snack of Cosmic Proportions and Purple Coin Omelette the star is located at the top of a set of three Pull Stars at the end of a stone walkway next to the tower and leads to a maze of three planets; the Tropic Planets and the Egg Planet. Finally in King Kaliente's Battle Fleet the Launch Star is on top of the house and leads to the Tropic Planets.

Boulder Planet
The Boulder Planet is a Peanut shaped planet with Boulders in Dino Piranha/Luigi on the Roof or Chain Chomp Heads in Dino Piranha Speed Run. Mario can either dodge or destroy the Boulders with his Star Spin but he cannot hurt the Chain Chomp Heads.

To get here Mario must take a launch star from the Starting Planet and the only way to leave is to get the five Star Chips and create a Launch Star to the Flatland Planet. An interesting thing to note is that this planet has a different color appearance when it is first seen, but it ends up appearing with a recolor in the final version of the game. It was originally supposed to be blue.

Flatland Planet
The Flatland Planet is a small, grassy planet with one Piranha Plant and a few Swoopin' Poinks as its only dangers because it is impossible to fall off this planet due to the gravity. On the bottom side of the planet there is a ? Coin which creates many Star Bits leading back to the Piranha Plant.

Mario will get here via a Launch Star from the Boulder Planet and then, to leave, he will have to stomp or spin the Piranha Plant to defeat it. After being defeated the Piranha Planet will release a Sproutle Vine for Mario to climb to the Bitten Apple Planet

Bitten Apple Planet
The Bitten Apple Planet, as its name states, resembles a green bitten apple. There are Boulders rolling all over the planet, and a large purple Piranha Plant on the top. There is a black hole in the middle of this planet which will cost Mario all three of his lives if he falls in.

On this planet Mario has several choices as to where he wants to go. The first choice is to advance to the very end of the planet and battle a giant purple piranha plant which will release a Sproutle Vine to the Block-Climb Planet. The other choice is to go across a shrinking platform and using the Warp Pipe with the Piranha Plant in it to get to the Flip Switch Planet.

Flip Switch Planet
The Flip Switch Planet is a planet covered in Flipswitches that can be accessed by a warp pipe on the Bitten Apple Planet. There are many flip switches and if Mario wants to move on he must press all the flipswitches in an area before the next area appears. After activating all the flipswitches, a Launch Star to the Block-Climb Planet appears.

Block-Climb Planet
The Block-Climb Planet is a planet accessed by either launching off of the Flip Switch planet and landing here or taking the Sproutle Vine that comes out of the purple Piranha Plant on the Bitten Apple Planet. This planet is a grassy oval with three stone blocks on it and Electrogoombas guarding the rocks. There are some coins on the blocks which serve as steps to the very top where a Launch Star is waiting to take Mario to the Geo Planet. Behind the set of three stone steps, there is a 1-Up Mushroom to give Mario an extra life. Also on the planet are a Luma and several Starbags.

Geo Planet
The Geo Planet is a small round planet that is the last planet visited in the levels Dino Piranha and Dino Piranha Speed Run as it is the location of the bosses in those levels; Dino Piranha.

The planet is basically a large brown oval with several yellow objects on the ground that, when shot with a star bit, will release a coin and there are Crystals all around with coins and star bits in them. On top of the planet is a giant egg that Mario will automatically crack open when he lands on the planet from the Block-Climb Planet's Launch Star. After defeating Dino Piranha, the Power Star is located here.

Pear Planet
The Pear Planet is a pear-shaped planet covered in grass that appears in A Snack of Cosmic Proportions and Purple Coin Omelette. There are several Star Bits in the crystals all over the planet along with a few Goombas and Spikes. There is also a Launch Star to the Rock Planet on this planet.

Rock Planet
The Rock Planet is a giant red rock with Boulders rolling all around it. It is accessable via the Pear Planet and a Launch Star and using it, Mario can go to the Egg Planet from the Launch Star found on it. The Rock Planet also has some item crystals and a ? Block. Along with that there is a Sling Star that can launch Mario into a Coin.

Egg Planet
The Egg Planet is a giant planet the resemebles a Yoshi Egg with many Goombas wandering all around it and several Item Crystals. It is part of the three-planet maze involving the Rock Planet and Pear Planet. The Launch Star on this planet leads to the Pear Planet and it is accessible from the Launch Star on the Rock Planet.

The main attraction of this planet is the Hungry Luma that must be fed 100 Star Bits to transform into the new planet that is needed to complete the level; the Tower Planet.

Tower Planet
The Tower Planet is a planet made by a Hungry Luma on the Egg Planet and is shaped like a giant mountain with many stone platforms that Mario must jump up to get to the top. Enemies found here are mostly Spinies and rubber balls. At the very top of the many stone platforms is a Launch Star to the Pill Planet.

A similar planet appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2 at the Yoshi Star Galaxy

Pill Planet
The Pill Planet is the biggest planet in the Good Egg Galaxy save for, maybe, the Magma Planet where King Kaliente is fought. It is shaped like a giant transparent pill with many enemies and obstacles on the inside including different sections where the Gravity is shifted around; red means it goes away from the core, blue means it goes towards it.

When he first arrives here, Mario will be on the transparent coating of the planet from the Launch Star on the Tower Planet and he will have to destroy the Item Crystal to get inside. After making his way through all the obstacles, another Launch Star will blast him right through the glass and to the final planet of the mission; the Star Planet.

Star Planet
The last planet of the second mission, which resembles a Sling Star. To get to the star, the player must collect Blue Star Chips to create some Pull Stars. Mario must then use the Pull Stars to get to the Power Star in the center of the Star Planet or Mario can simply Long Jump and Spin to the Star.

Tropic Planets
A pair of planets in the third mission, both involving coconuts. The first planet has some spiky plants, and Mario has to destroy the larger one to get to the next planet. A Sling Star appears and takes Mario to the second, which has a Pokey on the top as well as Goombas. When it surfaces, Mario kicks a coconut at it and finds a Launch Star. Both planets have crates and palm trees.

Water Planets
These are small planets that surround the Tropic Planets. They are either completely water or have a small sand core. They are inaccessible and the player only sees them when Mario soars past them. But, through hacking the player can visit them. These act like a regular planet because they have their own gravity field.

Saucer Planet
The Saucer Planet has yellow blocks on it, some Electrogoombas, Incoming Chomps, and Bill Blasters. To get to the Launch Star, Mario must avoid the enemies and go to the top of the planet, right above the Bill Blasters, and destroy the Item Crystal. This takes him to the Airships. It is a pretty big planet, and contains several platforms and hazards such as electricity.

Airships
There are two airships here, both commanded by King Kaliente. To get to the second one, Mario must wait until the enemies on the airship throw coconuts at him. Then, the player must Star Spin the coconuts back at them to defeat them and to open the bridge. The second airship has many Electrogoombas and a Launch Star to the Magma Planet.

Asteroid Planet
A planet before the Magma Planet or the Airships. There are two Chomps going around it. The player can go inside the pipe here, which will lead them to a small circular room with several Goombas and a ? Coin which will make a Rainbow Star appear. In the beta version of the game, there were several planets like this one.

Magma Planet
This is where the boss battle against King Kaliente takes place. It consists of a hot lava pool with a shiny tar-like ring of ground around it. The rest of the planet is just simple hot rock. The planet is quite big compared to others like the Tropic Planet, since it needs to have a decently large size for the fight to be held. Underneath the Magma Planet is a rocky area with yellow rings on it like a target. It resembles a chocolate donut.

Dino Piranha
Originally known as Prehistoric Piranha, this level begins on the Starting Planet with a grassy top and a house. There are two Electrogoombas guarding the door to the house (which does not open). The gravity on the starting planet is such that Mario cannot fall off so he can just walk over to the other side where it is all dark with a castle-like object. Mario must climb up the tower on a pathway, avoid the Goomba and talk to the Luma to get a Sling Star which sends him to a Launch Star. The next planet is the Boulder Planet, it has five Star Chips scattered around it, Mario must collect them all, while avoiding the boulders to get another Launch Star. The boulders are going around in rings and most of the parts that they roll over are made of mud. The five stars lead Mario to the next planet, the Flatland Planet, where Mario must Star Spin the Piranha Plant after it strikes at him for it to release a sproutle. There is a large coin under the planet which releases many star bits.

Next up is the Bitten Apple Planet where Mario has a choice as to where he wants to go. The first option is to defeat a huge Piranha Plant then spin on the sproutle's vine or he can defeat the small Piranha Plant off to the side behind the Shrinking Tile and release a Warp Pipe which leads to the Flipswitch Planet. On the Flipswitch Planet, Mario must press all the blocks to obtain get a Launch Star which will bring him to the Block-Climb Planet (this is where the sproutle's vine would of brought him). There are two parts to the Flipswitch Planet, to unlock the next part, Mario has to press all the switches in the current part. The first part is just a square of spaces so Mario can easily press them and the second is a straight line followed by a square, followed by a square with another block. Mario must use his powers of jumping to get through the second part. He will then get to the Block-Climb Planet. To get to the top of the Block-Climb Planet, Mario must climb the moving stones to the top which have Electrogoombas on the them. There is a Starbag at the bottom of the Block-Climb Planet which Mario can kill to get many star bits. At the top of that planet there is a Launch Star which leads to the Geo Planet.

The Geo Planet is where Dino Piranha is fought, Mario will land on a gigantic egg which will then crack, releasing the prehistoric beast! To open the egg fully, Mario must Star Spin the tail which will fly back and crack the egg. Dino Piranha will then run after Mario and Mario must once again Star Spin the tail to hit it. The flower at the top of its body will turn red and it will charge extremely fast at Mario, if he manages to Star Spin the tail one more time, Dino Piranha will fall over and release a Power Star. Every time Dino Piranha is hit, it will release a mass of star bits for Mario to collect.

A Snack of Cosmic Proportions
This level revolves around feeding a Hungry Luma 100 Star Bits, so the player should pick up as many as possible. Mario begins on the Starting Planet with two Electrogoombas. There are constant comets on this planet and several Star Bits. the comets release about three Star Bits each. To complete this planet, Mario must travel to the end of a stone path where there is a blue Luma who will turn into a set of Pull Stars which lead to a Launch Star. The launch star sends Mario into a 3-planet circle with a maze of launch stars in midair the planets are the Pear Planet, Rock Planet and Egg Planet. The Egg Planet has the Hungry Luma but Mario must use the other two planets for Star Bits. When the Luma is fed, it will burst with snacky happiness creating the Tower Planet. Mario must climb this planet to the top to reach another Launch Star which will launch Mario straight to the Pill Planet. There is an Item Crystal covering the entrance to the inside of the pill planet so Mario must smash it to get inside.

The inside is a platform area which Mario must navigate very carefully as there are constant gravity shifts. Blue arrows mean the gravity is pulling down and red arrows mean the gravity is pulling up. Avoid the shifting gravity and get to the Launch Star which will blast Mario through the glass and to the Star Planet which has five blue Star Chips that create five pull stars which Mario must use to get the Power Star in the very middle of the planet. Another option is to Long Jump to the Power Star.

King Kaliente's Battle Fleet
Mario starts on the same planet as he did on the previous two missions. The Launch Star is on the top of the house on the Starting Planet and it is possible for the player to triple jump to the top of it, or else Mario can take the orange Warp Pipe on the underside of the planet and traverse the boxy room to reach the Launch Star. Next up are the Tropic Planets. The Toad on one of the planets tells Mario that the spiky plants hate coconuts. Mario will have to kick the coconuts into the plants, and one will reveal a Sling Star. The next tropic planet has a large Pokey, which can also be defeated by kicking a coconut at it, revealing a Launch Star. Then there's the Saucer Planet which has a Sling Star which propels Mario to a planet full of electrical walls, but if the player decides to stay on the planet they can enter a pipe to an area with a Rainbow Star and lots of Goombas. The player must carefully avoid the walls of the next planet to reach the other side of the planet, where cannons shoot Bullet Bills.

The Launch Star is in a crystal at the top of the structure on this planet. As Mario is launched onto an airship, two creatures will shoot coconuts at Mario from an adjacent airship. Mario will have to do a Star Spin to send the coconuts back at them to defeat them, which lowers the bridge between the two ships. The Launch Star on this airship that takes Mario to King Kaliente's planet. The player can defeat King Kaliente by repeatedly spinning back the coconuts he shoots at Mario.

Purple Coin Omelet (Purple Comet)
In this level, the player has to collect 100 Purple Coins to get the Power Star in the area of the three planets before the tablet-like planet in the 'Snack of Cosmic Portportions' with out the Hungry Luma planet. Mario must traverse through the galaxy and collect these coins using Launch Stars. Unlike most other Purple Comet missions (with the exception of Purple Coins in the Woods), the coins here follow a linear path - simply follow the trail of coins on the first planet, take the Launch Star, take the Launch Star in midair on the way, follow the path of coins on the second planet, etc. If the player repeats this process a few times, they will have collected every coin and will land right next to the Power Star.

Luigi on the Roof
Shortly after Mario rescues his brother Luigi in the first mission of the Ghostly Galaxy, Mailtoad will inform Mario that Luigi has sent him a letter saying he is lost, with an enclosed picture of his whereabouts. The player can work out that Luigi is in the Good Egg Galaxy. To clear this hidden Star mission, the player must enter the mission Dino Piranha (after receiving the aforementioned letter) and reach the top of the mushroom hut on the first planet. The easiest method of reaching the top is simply doing a Triple Jump and Spin on top of it or doing a Somersault, a Wall Jump, then a Spin,. Another way is to walk around to the underside of the planet and enter the orange Warp Pipe there. After traversing the room, possibly gaining a 1-up from collecting Music Notes, the player can jump through another orange Pipe and emerge on the top of the Hut. Luigi will give Mario the Star and the mission will be completed.

Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games
Good Egg Galaxy is a stage in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. The galaxy is the stage of the Dream Event: Dream Ski Jumping. It features Airships, the Starting Planet, three Star Planets, and other things like blue crystals, the water planets and a Black Hole. The objective is to gather points in Star Bits. There are 3 types of star bits: green ones are worth 10 points, purple ones are worth 30 points and the rare orange ones are worth 50 points. There are also item blocks which can be used for further advantage in the event. In addition, there are also "Star Gates" on the galaxy. If the player goes through 3 Star gates, the player will be invincible and any points given to the player by collecting star bits is doubled for a short amount of time.

Trivia

 * Unlike most galaxies, it gets its name from a single planet.
 * It is the galaxy with the most amount of planets: 19. As stated in the introduction, it is the only "true" galaxy, as it has no specific type (such as ice for Snow Cap or Water for Sea Slide), and it contains many different typed planets like the Rock Planet, so it might be the basis for all the other galaxies.
 * However, out of the 19 planets, only 3 are above average planets size, all others are at or below average.
 * It is notable that the original E3 demo and gameplay footage mostly featured segments from the Good Egg Galaxy, along with a mixed-in level from the Space Junk Galaxy.
 * Part of Good Egg Galaxy's music returns in Mario Kart Wii 's Rainbow Road.
 * There is a completely black planet that can only be reached on the third mission. If the player uses cheat codes to reach there in other missions, on the planet is only a pipe that leads into an endless pit, possible to teach curious players with cheat codes a lesson. This planet is actually the Asteroid Planet, but since it's not the level the planet appears, the pipe does not lead to the bonus room since it is nonexistent in this level.
 * Several Gusty Garden Galaxy planets were found in this galaxy in a beta version of the game.
