A '''black hole''' is a dangerous hazard found in a few games within the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], most notably in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is based loosely on real {{wp|black hole}}s.

In some galaxies such as the [[Hurry-Scurry Galaxy]], successfully collecting a group of [[note]]s turns a nearby black hole into a [[Power Star]]. The Power Star pulls Mario or Luigi closer using a similar gravitational pull.

At the end of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', after Mario/Luigi has defeated [[Bowser]] for the final time, one of the planets near Bowser's supergiant star undergoes a supernova and becomes a {{wp|supermassive black hole}}, which quickly begins to engulf Mario/Luigi, [[Princess Peach]], Bowser and his entire fleet of [[Airship]]s, [[Peach's Castle]], and even the [[Comet Observatory]]. Just as everything is about to be destroyed, [[Luma (character)|Luma]] suddenly appears in front of Mario/Luigi, waves at him and then sacrifices himself by throwing himself into the black hole. Thousands of other [[Luma (species)|Lumas]] soon join him in flinging themselves into the supermassive black hole in hopes of stabilizing it and ultimately saving the universe from destruction. Eventually, the black hole twists wildly around in space before finally exploding, thereby reforming the entire cosmos and creating an entirely new galaxy, which Mario/Luigi welcomes in the final cutscene of the game.
