The '''Gusty Garden Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] from the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' that is located in the [[Bedroom (Super Mario Galaxy)|Bedroom]]. It features many grass and plant themed planetoids scattered throughout the galaxy. Many of them can only be reached by grabbing onto a [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]] and [[spin]]ning to glide on gusts of wind from one planet to the next. The sky in the Gusty Garden Galaxy is perpetually swirling with a light gray foggy hue. The boss of this galaxy is a mole named [[Major Burrows]].

===Stone Pieces Planet===

[[File:SMG Stone Pieces Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario on the {{conjectural|Stone Pieces Planet|planet}}.]]

This planet looks a little like the Starting Planet, though it features several pieces of stone architecture embedded in the ground, including a stone pillar, stone steps, and a stone pedestal. The top of the planet has flowers and more [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]]. It also has a [[Warp Pipe]] on the underside that leads to the inside of the planet, as well as a [[? Coin]] that makes several rings of [[Star Bit]]s appear between this planet and the next. [[Mario]] can collect these with the [[Star Pointer]] when standing on the planet or use a Floaty Fluff and ride on the wind in order to get closer to them (or fly through them). Later in the game, the inside of the planet will be filled with many [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s and another ? Coin, which will make a [[Rainbow Star]] appear. A single [[Piranha Plant]] also awaits on the top of the planet, and will yield a [[coin]] when defeated.

===Bean Planets===

===Curve Planet===

This relatively simple planet is shaped like a curve twisting to the left. On the top of the planet are [[Flower (Super Mario series)|flowers]], another stone pedestal, and of course, more [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]], which [[Mario]] must use to get to the next planet. Unlike most planets, the underside of this planet is partly covered in grass in addition to the top side. There are not many enemies or obstacles here, only a few [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Flipbug]]s, and the occasional [[Monty]]. A hidden [[Sproutle Vine]] on this planet will reward Mario with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] if he follows it to the end.

===Puzzle Cube===

|footer=

As its name implies, this planet is shaped like a gigantic cube. The "puzzle" part comes into play as a result of the many hedges that are present on this planet, many of which have been trimmed in such a way that they form a maze in some areas of the planet. There are different obstacles on each side of the Puzzle Cube, and a [[Water spout|fountain]] on the side that [[Mario]] lands on when he touches down here. There is also a small cylindrical underground tunnel running straight through the center of the planet which holds a few prizes, including [[Star Bit]]s and a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. When Mario first lands here, he must successfully chase and catch a playful [[Star Bunny]] to get the [[Power Star]]. He later returns here when a [[Purple Comet]] is in orbit, where he must collect at least 100 [[Purple Coin]]s within a certain time limit in order to get the Power Star.

 

[[File:QuestionMarkPlanets.png|thumb|left|The top and bottom planets that collectively comprise the {{conjectural|Question Mark Planets|planet}}.]]

These two planets are collectively referred to as the Question Mark Planets, as they clearly resemble their titular punctuation mark. In the second level in the Gusty Garden Galaxy, [[Mario]] uses a [[Fluff (object)|Floaty Fluff]] to glide to the bottom planet first, and then uses a [[Sling Star]] to reach the top planet. The first planet contains only some [[Flower (Super Mario series)|flowers]] and an [[Undergrunt]], which Mario must defeat to progress. This planet acts as the "dot" of the question mark, while the second planet is much bigger and consists of the main body of the question mark. The top planet is infested with three Undergrunts which Mario has to defeat to make the [[Launch Star]] to the next planet appear.

 

[[File:SMG Hedge Ring Planet.png|200px|thumb|Mario flying toward the {{conjectural|Hedge Ring Planet|planet}}.]]

This planet is optional, and is fairly easy to miss if the player is not careful. Normally, the [[Launch Star]] from the previous planet will just shoot [[Mario]] straight through this planet to the next planet. Therefore, [[Mario]] can only visit this planet if he quickly activates one of the five [[Pull Star]]s positioned around the inner ring of the planet. After he is pulled to the planet, he will find many [[? Coin]]s which will make multiple [[Star Bit]]s appear around the planet. However, he must be cautious when attempting to collect them, as the planet is surrounded by large spiky vines, forcing Mario to follow a designated path around various parts of the planet. When he reaches the "end" of the planet, another Launch Star will take him to the next planet.

===Apple Planets===

These planets consist of nothing more than three huge apples that get increasingly larger as [[Mario]] progresses. The end two apples are red and the apple in the middle is green. On the planets are multiple wooden pegs which can be [[Ground Pound]]ed to release anything from [[Star Bit]]s to [[Flipbug]]s. These planets are also inhabited by many creatures, including several [[Wiggler]]s, Flipbugs, and, in the case of the final planet, a few [[boulder]]s. When Mario lands here, he must Ground Pound the correct [[stump]]s on each Apple Planet in order to make a [[Worm (Super Mario Galaxy)|worm]] burrow through each of the three planets. Mario can then use the worm's body as a bridge from one apple to the next. On the final planet, a wooden peg will make the worm's head stick out of the top of the apple, which Mario can climb onto to reach the [[Launch Star]] to the next planet.

This small planet is the last planet encountered before Major Burrows' Planet. When [[Mario]] lands on this planet, he will be positioned on top of a [[stump]]. When he [[Ground Pound]]s this, a [[Life Mushroom]] will appear and begin to move around the planetoid. Mario must collect this carefully, or he runs the risk of accidentally being poked by the spiny vine that surrounds and digs into the planet. Another wooden peg here will make some [[Star Bit]]s appear. When he has collected everything on the planet, a [[Launch Star]] on the top of the planet will take Mario to Major Burrows' Planet. There are also no enemies on this planet.

[[File:SMG Major Burrows Planet.png|thumb|200px|left|{{conjectural|Major Burrows's Planet|planet}} in the distance that the [[Launch Star]] launches Mario to.]]

This is a small rounded dirt planet with a large tree growing out of the top and several [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s and [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s on the bottom. This is also presumably the home of a single [[Star Bunny]]. When [[Mario]] arrives on the planet for the first time, he witnesses the Star Bunny being chased by none other than [[Major Burrows]], an abnormally large [[mole]] with an anger management problem who apparently wants to have the bunny as a snack. Mario must [[Ground Pound]] near Major Burrows and then [[spin]] him to engage him in battle. He must then defeat Major Burrows in order to get the [[Power Star]]. There is also a small ledge on the tree in the center of the planet that the Star Bunny uses to rest after being rescued by Mario. Note that this planet also reappears as the third planet in the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

[[File:SMG Grass Spheres Planet.png|200px|thumb|Mario flying to the {{conjectural|Grass Spheres Planet|planet}}.]]

This planet is a collection of six grass spheres with [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s and [[boulder]]s rolling around it. There are multiple [[thorny flower|prickly plant]]s where each grass sphere meets the next, which [[Mario]] must be very careful to avoid. At the top of the final grass sphere is a [[Launch Star]]. This planet is also the location of the hidden star in the Gusty Garden Galaxy. In order to get the hidden star, Mario must collect a [[Rainbow Star]] from the previous planetoid, and then fly to this planet. He must seek out the only [[Gold Chomp]] on the planet and destroy it as [[Rainbow Mario]], which will release the [[Power Star]].

===Disk Planets===

These planets consist of three flying saucer-like floating disks with a small pole stuck through each one. The first disk is yellow, the second disk is blue and white striped, and the third disk is green. [[Mario]] must carefully work his way around these planets to find five [[Star Chip]]s, taking care to avoid the many [[Amp]]s that orbit around some of them. When he has collected all five Star Chips, the [[Launch Star]] will appear on the topmost disk, and Mario will be able to advance to the next planet.  

===! and ? Planets===

These five planets are a collection of odd-looking boxes that are only encountered in the [[Gusty Garden's Gravity Scramble]] level. When [[Mario]] flips the gravity, the color of the planets will alternate from green with a ? to yellow with a ! or vice versa. There are several cannons on these planets, along with numerous [[Goomba]]s and [[Slurple]]s as well. When Mario finally reaches the end of these planetoids, he will find a [[Power Star]] encased in a large ice crystal.

===Asteroid Fields===

Throughout the galaxy, there are three fields of space rocks. These can only be accessed by hacking. Unlike other space debris in the game, these actually have collision and can be interacted with.

==Music==

The background music for Gusty Garden Galaxy shares its name with the galaxy. The melody for "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy (theme)|Gusty Garden Galaxy]]" is also reused in the game's themes "Purple Comet", "Birth", and the credits theme, "Super Mario Galaxy".

 

The theme has appeared in several later games and media in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], including the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' , the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, and ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''.
