'''Flipsville Galaxy''' is a galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' located in [[World 4 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 4]]. The galaxy is home-themed, with many dollhouse-like planets. The main gimmicks in this galaxy are Flipping platforms known as [[grate]]s, which [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) needs to perform a [[Ground Pound]] to turn these platforms over and flip the gravity to gain access to different areas. Mario can also use the grates 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 has a lavender sky with many clouds. A bizarre screen of white arrows surrounding the galaxy shows the current gravity force affecting Mario (similar to a [[gravity field]]), which changes as the plumber pounds the grates.  
'''Flipsville Galaxy''' is the second level in [[World 4 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 4]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is home-themed, with a few dollhouse-like planets. The main gimmick in this galaxy is [[grate]]s, which [[Mario]] can [[Ground Pound]] to flip the gravity and switch between the top and underside of each planet. This change is reflected by a screen of white arrows (similar to a [[gravity field]]) against the lavender sky, which always point to the direction of the gravitational pull. Mario can also use grates to defeat the [[Pupdozer]] enemy and its boss variation, [[Glamdozer]], both exclusive to this area. The [[Spin Drill]] is available in later missions.
 
This is one of four galaxies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in which the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] forewarns the player of upcoming obstacles, the other three being the [[Beat Block Galaxy]], the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]], and the [[Battle Belt Galaxy]].

The Both Side Maze Room Planet<ref name=Noclip>Texture file names associated with each planet, retrieved from [https://noclip.website/#smg2/OmoteuLandGalaxy noclip.website].</ref> is modeled after the interior of a dollhouse, featuring several rooms separated by wooden walls and the floor. There are many grates that the player can use to go under the stage and vice-versa. [[Pupdozer]]s are bountiful in this area. Some [[Octoomba]]s 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 grates are absent and are replaced with dirt patches. Pupdozers are replaced by [[Mechakoopa|Micro Mecha-Bowser]]s and the [[Spin Drill]] appears in various places.

When the player lands on the Both Side Lift Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref>, they will need to flip the gate to get to the underside. The next section involves a series of moving platforms with grates in the middle, which they must use carefully to avoid spikes. At the end of the planet is a generally small area. The only enemies here are two [[Pupdozer]]s on the top and an [[Octoomba]] on the opposite side. The [[Launch Star]] among the Pupdozers will take the player to the [[Starshroom]].

The Timer Gravity Change Drill Room<ref name=Noclip></ref> can be accessed by taking the [[Warp Pipe]] on the Both Side Drill 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 Star]]s in the second mission and 100 [[Purple Coin]]s in the third mission. The only enemies here are [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]].

The player will redo the [[Flip-Flopping in Flipsville]] mission. When the player gets to the [[#Both Side Wanwan Planet|Both Side Wanwan Planet]], they should avoid the first [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]] and use the gate to get to the second area. When the player reaches the circle with the [[Life Mushroom]], they should notice a raised platform. The player must execute either a backflip followed by Star Spin or a wall jump and Star Spin to get the [[Green Star]] on the roof.

The player will redo the [[Flip-Flopping in Flipsville]] mission. When the player gets to the end of the [[#Both Side Lift Planet Planet|Both Side Lift Planet]], they should notice the Green Star out of reach in the top right corner. The player must flip the grate to get under the level, causing the gravity to change as shown by the arrows. The player will then need to jump from the bottom right corner to get the star. If the player misses the Star, they will automatically lose a life.
