The '''Tip Network'''<ref>"''In some galaxies, you'll find TVs showing the Tip Network that can help explain how to perform certain moves or advance through a tough area. If you need a hint, try talking to the TV to see what it has to show you.''" - ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' instruction booklet, page 21.</ref> is a channel viewed on TV screens in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The TVs are mounted on a green-and-yellow signboard-like post. They provide helpful tips for the player for upcoming obstacles or challenges that lie ahead. [[Mario]] needs to stand in front of a TV to activate it. The Tip Network shows a quick demonstration of how to surpass a difficult part of the [[galaxy]]. Unlike the [[Cosmic Spirit]], it does not degrade the [[Power Star]] to a [[Bronze Star]]. The Tip Network plays a similar role to the [[hint movies]] in [[Peach's Castle]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', except that it does not cost the player anything. If the player plays as [[Luigi]], the TVs do not appear.

*After the Tip Network finishes showing the player how to overcome obstacles, the entire [[level]] is reset as if the player just landed in the galaxy. It is shown that the player can obtain 999 [[coin]]s and 999 [[Star Bit]]s as demonstrated in the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]].
