World 4, known in the file selection menu as The Many Mysteries of the Cosmos, is the fourth world in Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is located near a spiral galaxy. It holds seven galaxies, the last of which, Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet, features the second encounter with Giant Bowser, who again attacks Mario on a small planet, though now with several new moves. The Hungry Luma galaxy is available right when the player enters, which does not happen in any other world.

Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet | This level is based almost entirely on gravitational forces. Most of the level involves sidescrolling, except for the beginning and the end. The level is mostly covered in lava, save for a few sections. Magikoopas are common enemies here and can summon Li'l Cinders at will. Fire Bars are placed throughout the whole level, even underwater. Fireballs are also present, and defy gravity because they can change direction in midair. When Mario reaches the end, Bowser will challenge Mario to a battle. |
