Flipsville Galaxy

Flipsville Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2 located in World 4. The galaxy is home-themed, with many dollhouse-like planets. Flipping platforms are plentiful in this area, and Mario needs to perform the Ground Pound to turn them over and flip the gravity to gain access to different areas. Mario can also use these platforms to defeat the Pupdozer enemy. A dinosaur-like boss named Glamdozer resides in the galaxy. The galaxy has some side-scrolling areas, where the Spin Drill is available. The galaxy is located in a blue sky with clouds. A bizarre screen of white arrows surrounding the galaxy shows the current gravity force affecting Mario (similar to a Gravity Wall), which changes as the plumber pounds the flipping platforms.

This planet is basically one, giant dollhouse-like area. There are many gates that the player can use to go under the stage and vice-versa. Pupdozers are bountiful in this area. Some Octoombas can be found here along with the Comet Medal. The Launch Star is located at the top of the planet. During the second mission, the gates are absent and are replaced with dirt patches. Pupdozers are replaced by Mecha Koopas and the Spin Drill appears in various places.

This planet is another dollhouse-like area. The only enemies here are Chomps and Octoombas. The player can use the gates to ther advantage to avoid being hit by a Chomp. The Launch Star at the end will take the player to the Moving Gate Planet.

When the player lands on this planet, he/she will need to flip the gate to get to the underside of the planet. The player will need to wait for the moving gate to come by so the player can hop onto. The player will continue to ride the gates while avoiding spikes and jumping moving platforms to the Gate End Planet.

This is a generally small area where the Moving Gate Planet ends. The only enemies here are two Pupdozers and an Octoomba. The Launch Star will take the player to the Starshroom right before the fight with Glamdozer.

This planet is just a flat, circular planet with six gates and Coins if the player needs health. The player fights Glamdozer on this planet.

This area is two circles being transversed by a large dirt tower straight through the middle. The player must use the Spin Drill located behind the tower to get to the top where the Warp Pipe is. The only enemies here are Twirlips.

This area can be accessed by taking the Warp Pipe on the Dirt Tower Planet. This area is separated into nine sections by the dirt. The music will change similar to that of Beat Block Galaxy's. After a certain beat, the gravity of the area will change. The player must use the Spin Drill to collect five Silver Stars in the second mission and 100 Purple Coins in the third mission. The only enemies here are Fuzzies.

Flip-Flopping in Flipsville
Mario will land on the Inner House Planet, where he will notice Pupdozers walking around. The player can defeat these enemies by flipping them over with the gates on the ground. Mario will have to make his way to the Launch Star by exploring the planet and flipping through gates. One of the gates leads to the level's Comet Medal. After Mario finds the Launch Star at the top, he will be taken to the Outer House Planet. Mario must flip the gate in front of him and follow the path under the planet, where he will find another flipping platform. Mario must pound this platform and follow the Chomps' trail, and at the end, there is a Launch Star that will take the player to the Moving Gate Planet. Mario must go to the underside of the planet and jump onto the moving platform. Mario must jump from platform to platform, avoiding Spikes and walls, until he gets to the Gate End Planet. Mario should take the Launch Star to a nearby Starshroom where a Midway Point and Luma Shop are. After that, Mario should take the Launch Star to Glamdozer's Planet.

Once Mario lands on the planet, Glamdozer will wake up, angry at Mario. She will chase Mario around the planet. Mario has to go to the underside of the planet and pound a flipping platform when Glamdozer is over it. This will damage Glamdozer and release Star Bits. Glamdozer will start to shoot fireballs that will cover a flipping platform in lava. Mario must avoid this new hazard and pound the flipping platform on Glamdozer two more times. Once this has been done, Glamdozer will explode, revealing the Power Star for Mario to recover.

Flipsville's New Digs
When the player lands on the Inner House Planet, they should notice some drastic changes. The gates have been removed and are now replaced with dirt patches. In addition, the walls and floors on the first planet have dirt on them. Mecha Koopas replace the Pupdozers and the Spin Drill is made available. The Launch Star is located in the same area as the first one, but the player will need to travel through the dirt patches instead of flipping the gates. The Launch Star will take the player to the Dirt Tower Planet, where the player must find their way to the Warp Pipe above using the Spin Drill located behind the tower. Once the player enters the warp pipe, they should notice the music change and the gravity changing to the beat. The player will need to collect the five Silver Stars located in the sections of the area. Fuzzies block some of the stars, but they can easily be defeated by the Spin Drill. The Power Star will appear in the middle section once all of the Silver Stars have been collected.
