'''''Super Mario Galaxy 2''''' is a 3D action [[Genre#Platform games|platform game]] released for the [[Wii]] on May 22, [[list of games by date#2010|2010]]. It is the sequel to the [[list of games by date#2007|2007]] game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the thirteenth entry in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series,<ref name=encyclopedia>Kazuya Sakai (Ambit), kikai, Akinori Sao, Junko Fukuda, Kunio Takayama, and Ko Nakahara ({{wp|Shogakukan}}) (ed.). ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]'' Milwaulkie: [[Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse Books]], 2018. ISBN: 978-4-09-106569-8</ref> the fourth 3D platformer, and the only 3D platformer in the ''Super Mario'' series to be released on the same console as its predecessor. The sequel retains many elements from its predecessor, such as the adventure being in outer space, the element of [[gravity]], and recurring objects such as [[Launch Star]]s and [[Sling Star]]s. Returning [[list of items|items]] include the [[Bee Mushroom]] and the [[Fire Flower]]. However, the game introduces new elements as well, such as the utilization of [[Yoshi]], new [[list of power-ups|power-ups]] like the [[Cloud Flower]], and the use of [[Cosmic Spirit|a guide]] within the game for beginner players. All releases of the game except for the American version include a beginner's DVD to help players understand the controls and items if they have not played ''Super Mario Galaxy''. In North America, help for beginners is found on the official website as well as on the [[Wii#Nintendo Channel|Nintendo Channel]].

''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' is "another story of stardust".<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/collection/search.html#?g=series&v=mariobros Mario Portal (Japanese)]. ''Nintendo''. Retrieved August 19, 2018.</ref> The game begins at the time of the [[Star Festival]], which only happens every 100 years. [[Princess Peach]] invites [[Mario]] to share some [[cake]] while watching the shooting stars. On his way to Peach's Castle, Mario finds a lost [[Baby Luma]], who seems to like Mario and jumps into his hat, granting him [[spin]] power. Near the castle, Mario discovers it under attack by [[Bowser]], now [[Giant Bowser|gigantic]] thanks to the Power Stars, who kidnaps Peach and takes her away to the center of the universe. In response, [[Luma]]s who crashed near the castle offer to aid Mario to chase Bowser by transforming into a [[Launch Star]] and launching Mario to space.

Unlike in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the player can now switch between playing as Mario or playing as [[Luigi]] in certain levels. If the player clears [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]], Luigi can be played as in any level. Like in most ''Mario'' games, Luigi can jump higher but has reduced traction.

Each galaxy contains objectives called missions. Completing a mission has [[Mario]] obtaining one of the galaxy's [[Power Star]]s. One mission correlates with one Power Star. The structure of missions is closely derived from the first ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' (2007). However, there are fewer dedicated missions in individual galaxies, with none having more than three. By contrast, the most robust galaxies in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' have as many as six missions. Some missions have one or more hidden [[Green Star]]s that begin to appear once the player has collected 120 normal Power Stars. Like regular Power Stars, collecting one is considered as the end of the mission. [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] is the only course in the game to lack any Green Stars. Combined, there are 242 collectible Stars in the game, the same number in its predecessor.

After Mario has collected 30 Power Stars and completed "[[Bowser's Big Lava Power Party]]", his brother [[Luigi]] begins to appear in some galaxies and offer to collect the Power Star for him. Selecting "yes" allows the player to control Luigi for the mission until it is completed or exited. Completing the mission as Luigi unlocks a [[Ghost (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|staff ghost]] for the galaxy. When followed, it leads the player towards hidden items or Secret Stars. Once "[[Bowser's Fortified Fortress]]" is completed, Luigi becomes permanently accessible via a room on Starship Mario's stern and can be played as in any level.

There are 49 galaxies in the game. There are 50 if Starship Mario is included. The chart below lists the galaxies in the order that they appear on the [[Star List]]. The galaxies are separated and color-coded according to the world they occur in. Each galaxy is given a brief description, an in-game screenshot, and a list of its missions. The descriptions come from the official [[Prima Games]] guide for ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.<ref name=Prima>Catherine Browne. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''. Roseville: Random House Inc, 2010. ISBN: 978-0-30746-907-6.{{page needed}}</ref> There is a legend at the bottom of the chart that details what the symbols used in it represent.
