The '''Buoy Base Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. The galaxy contains a large fortress floating atop a large, spherical pool of water.  Mario has to climb this fortress in order to get the main [[Power Star]] in this galaxy.

The '''Buoy Base''' is the main part of the Buoy Base Galaxy that consists of a large pool of water and an area above it which contains many obstacles, including [[Topman|Topmen]], [[Thwomp]]s, and [[Amp]]s. The main objective of this part of the planet is to collect five blue [[Star Chip]]s to form a [[Pull Star]] leading to the Poké Ball Planet. Submerged in the large pool of water at the bottom of the planet are multiple [[Bill Blaster]]s and [[Torpedo Ted]]s. A secret caged [[Warp Pipe]] in the pool of water leads to the underside of the planet, where more Bill Blasters and a cage containing a [[Green Star]] can be found.

The '''Poké Ball Planet''' is a giant sphere filled with water above the Buoy Base. It has a screw on it that Mario must Star Spin to open the planet and retrieve a power star inside of it and also two pulse-wave generating machines, one of which is actually the screw. It is remarkably small in comparison to the Buoy Base, and is remarkably easier as well. It looks like a giant [[Poké Ball]].

===The Floating Fortress===

[[Image:BBG02.png|200px|thumb|right|Mario diving toward the Power Star.]]

In '''The Floating Fortress''', the objective is to scale the fortress and receive the Power Star, located on a planetoid above the fortress. In order to do this, the player must first enter the pool of water and release the weight from within by directing the attacking [[Torpedo Ted]]s towards the weight. Then Mario must begin his ascent, surviving the various traps that have been put in place to stop him, collecting the five blue [[Star Chip]]s, to eventually lay out a path of [[Pull Star]]s towards the next planet. There, Mario has to head to the top of the planet, where it is opened by spinning on a gold screw. Then Mario or Luigi must dive in to retrieve the submerged [[Power Star]].

*The second level in the [[Space Storm Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' is partially based on the Buoy Base Galaxy, even reusing its background music and utilizing a similar tower, with many of the same obstacles returning, including [[Thwomp]]s and [[Amp]]s.

*After the Buoy Base is raised up out of the water, many [[Sling Star]]s will appear near the back of the first ring. A few [[Gearmo]]s can be found in between them.

*If [[Mario]] falls into the water after he has used the hidden [[Warp Pipe]] in the ''The Secret of Buoy Base'' secret mission, gravity will prevent him from retracing his steps, and he will have to use the Warp Pipe to get back again.
