'''Bowser's Galaxy Reactor''' is the final galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is located in the center of the [[Mushroom Universe|universe]]. This is where the final [[Grand Star]] is located.  It features the final battle between Mario and Bowser. [[Bowser Jr.]] watches from the sidelines on his [[airship]] with [[Princess Peach]]. After this battle, the galaxy collapses, transforms into an huge black hole, and begins sucking up the entire Universe. The Lumas throw themselves into the hole and reverse its effect; the Universe is reborn, and Mario, Peach, Bowser, and everybody else land safely back in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].

'''Bowser's Galaxy Reactor''' is the final galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is located in the center of the universe and can be accessed only by talking to [[Rosalina]] on the [[Comet Observatory]]. After the player talks to her, she will transform the observatory into a comet and fly it to the center of the universe, with very minor resistance along the way. It is the only galaxy with a single star to have its own music.
 
This is where the final [[Grand Star]] is located, and as such features, the final battle between [[Mario]] and [[Bowser]]. During the battle, [[Bowser Jr.]] watches from the sidelines on his [[airship]] while holding [[Princess Peach]] captive. After defeating Bowser, one of the planets near his large sun implodes and turns into a supermassive [[black hole]], causing the entire galaxy to collapse in upon itself, after which it begins to suck up the entire universe, along with [[Peach's Castle]] and the Comet Observatory as well. The [[Luma]]s all throw themselves into the black hole to reverse its effects and prevent the destruction of the universe. Afterwards, the galaxy is reformed, and Mario, Peach, Bowser, and many others land safely back in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].

==Planets/Areas==
===Castle Wall===
'''NOTE''': Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.
[[Image:GravitySpotlight.jpg|thumb|right|'''Castle Wall''']]
===Starting Area===
This area looks to be as if it is part of a crumbling castle. This part of the level contains [[Gravity Spotlight]]s that let Mario walk on any solid object the spotlight is facing. Several Dry Bones patrol the area.
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Gravity Spotlight.png|200px|thumb|The Starting Area, the Castle Wall]]
This is the first area that [[Mario]] encounters after entering the Warp Field inside Peach's Castle. The extensive vertical walls of this strange area appear to be part of a crumbling castle. This particular section of the level contains special [[gravity spotlight]]s which allow Mario to walk directly up the vertical walls when the gravity field of the spotlights is entered. Several [[Dry Bones]] also patrol the area, and can trip Mario if he's not careful.

===Lava Planet===
===Lava Planet===
[[Image:Fireplanet-bowser.jpg|thumb|left|'''Lava Planet''']]
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Lava Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|{{conjectural|Lava Planet|planet}}]]
This planet is the first of three element planets. It is made completly of lava with cooled lava and steel platforms.
This planet is the first of three-element planets that are encountered one after another. The planet itself is made completely of [[lava]], though it does have multiple steel platforms rising out of the lava, along with moving sections of cooled lava which form moving pathways across the diameter of the planet. The steel platforms on the planet will begin to sink down into the lava as soon as Mario sets foot on them. The only significant obstacles that Mario will face on this planet (aside from the sinking platforms) are [[Lava Bubble]]s and [[Lava Steam]]s. A few [[coin]]s can be found on certain parts of the planet, along with a [[1-Up Mushroom]].
{{br}}


===Ice Planet===
===Ice sphere===
[[Image:Iceplanet-bowser.jpg|thumb|right|'''Ice Planet''']]
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Ice Planet.png|200px|thumb|Ice sphere]]
This planet is similar and seemingly larger than the lava planet and is the second element planet, but is made out of ice instead of lava. It has ice blocks that create a path a cross its frozen surface. The ice blocks last for about 6 seconds before they disappear, meaning that they must be navigated quickly. Interestingly, the ice surface of the planet acts like lava (it could possibly be a form of dry ice).

It has Ice Blocks that create a path across its frozen surface. The Ice Blocks last for about six seconds before they disappear, meaning that they must be navigated quickly. The ice surface of the planet acts like lava, just like fatally cold water found in [[Snowman's Land]] of ''Super Mario 64''.

This planet is also semingly larger than the last planet and is the last element planet, but is made of sand. To get across this planet, Mario must follow stone paths and avoid [[Firebar]]s.
This planet also appears to be larger than the previous planet and is the last element planet, but is made of sand. To get across this planet, Mario must follow moving stone paths to avoid [[Fire Bar]]s and quicksand that results in instant death. In this sense, it is rather similar to the Lava Planet, as both planets involve a narrow, moving pathway with a deadly substance making up the remainder of the surface and fire-based obstacles. Three [[tornado]]es can also be found here, although they are of no use to Mario, for they only lead to his [[Game Over|death]].

===Lava and Water Planets===
[[File:SMG BGR Lava Water Planets.png|200px|thumb|{{conjectural|Lava and Water Planets|planets}}]]
These are two unreachable planets off to the side of the element planets. One is completely made of water, and the other is made of lava.

===Space Junk Area===
[[File:Bowser Galaxy Reactor Space Junk Area.png|200px|thumb|left|{{conjectural|Space Junk Area|area}}]]
These are blocks that float around space, but when Mario gets close to them, the glowing blocks begin to appear beneath Mario's feet, which forms a path for him to continue. If Mario stays on the platform for too long, it will disappear. He must also deal with alterations in the gravity's direction, and time his movements to avoid Firebars.

===Cosmic Blocks===
===Lava Tower Planet===
[[Image:Cosmicblocks.jpg|thumb|right|'''Cosmic Blocks''']]

These are blocks that float around space, but when Mario gets close to them, the glowing blocks begin to appear beneath the plumber's feet, which forms a path for Mario to continue. If Mario stays on the platform too long, it will disappear.
This planet is a cylinder resembling a castle tower, though the inside is walled with lava. This planet has [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Banzai Bill]]s, and [[Thwomp]]s. Mario must travel to the end to reach the [[Launch Star]] using moving and sinking platforms while avoiding all enemies and obstacles with limited cover and a sparse supply of coins. Mario can lure Bullet Bills into [[Bowser Statue]]s for [[coin]]s there. The walls of the planet have their own gravity. There is also a hidden [[black hole]] found behind and above the planet.

This planet is a cylinder resembling a castle tower, though the inside is walled with lava. This planet has [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Banzai Bill]]s, and [[Thwomps]]. Mario must travel to the end to reach the [[Launch Star]].
This is the pathway toward the battle between Mario and Bowser. It consists of a flight of stairs. There are two side platforms that contain a [[Life Mushroom]] and a [[1-Up Mushroom]] on the left and the right of the stairs. If [[Mario]] wishes to get there, he must do it quickly or the path will crumble when [[Bowser Jr.]] shoots meteors from his airship.

The way [[Mario]] has to take to reach the battle with [[Bowser]] is not an easy one. He starts on a small rock resembling part of a castle wall. Using gravity spotlights, Mario could climb the walls and arrive at a tower guarded by [[Dry Bones]]. At the top a large Gravity Spotlight would carry Mario across to the Fire Planet, the path across this was over rocks that would topple over when stepped on, and sinking platforms. A second large spotlight carries Mario to the ice planet at the end of the pathway. Both the ice planet's surface and the fire planet's surface would cause one point of damage if touched. The Ice planet's pathway is formed by ice blocks that shoot in from space, but these would vanish after a time. The third planet, reached by another spotlight, is made of sinking sand, which is fatal if touched. The planet is traversed over circular platforms which move around but dip beneath the planets surface. There were also fire bars in the way. Yet another spotlight would carry Mario into a space junkyard, platforms would shoot in and shortly vanish, like on the ice planet. However, gravity arrows and fire bars get in the way this time. At the end of the pathway, a Gravity spotlight allows access to the fire tunnel, a hollow planet made entirely of fire and is cylindrical. [[Bullet Bill]]s, sinking platforms, Thowmps and Banzai Bills all get in Mario's way here. At the end, a launch star takes Mario to Bowser's Final Stand.

Bowser Jr. appears on his airship at the bottom of the staircase to where Bowser stands with Princess Peach behind him. He taunts Mario, then flies behind his father and begins shooting down the staircase. When a meteor hits the staircase, the piece will crumble and fall. Along the way there are a 1-Up Mushroom and a Life Shroom. Grabbing them takes up valuable time, however. After Bowser explains his plan, the gravity a nearby planetoid made of metal attracts Mario and he. He transforms into a boulder with his head sticking out of the top. If his head is hit by a spiky bush or Marios spin attack, he will fall out of the boulder, then must be spun again to take damage. After he is hurt twice, Mario and Bowser will fly to another planetoid. Here, Bowser transforms into a ball made of two of his shells. He then rolls around the planet. Mario must Star Spin into sling plants to hit Bowser on his back, then the player has to Star Spin him. After doing this twice, Mario and Bowser will fall towards a giant [[Sun]], one of the biggest in the game. It is, however, hollow, with holes, and the two combatants will fall through one of these to land on the reactor at the center.
==Music==
The music that plays is an arrangement of [[Flying Mario]]'s theme and the game's main theme. It also plays in the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] mission "[[The Perfect Run]]" from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', along with [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]'s theme, [[Good Egg Galaxy]]'s theme, and the [[Comet Observatory]] theme.


[[Image:Final_Reactor.jpg|thumb|right|Bowser fights Mario on the Galaxy Reactor.]]
{{media table
Here, Mario fights Bowser in a similar way to how he does in Bowser's Star Reactor and Bowser's Dark Matter Plant:in a planetoid that remembers a Mario Strikers Charged ball; except Bowser has the attack he used on the second planetoid, which Mario can only avoid. After hitting Bowser twice, Bowser will fall out of the reactor's gravity field and into the Sun. A Grand Star will then be revealed from inside the reactor, which the player takes. As Mario flies away with the Grand Star, Bowser Jr.'s airship plummets towards the Sun, but Mario rescues Princess Peach and flies her to the area where he first entered the Galaxy. It is then revealed that Bowser has survived his fall into the gigantic Sun, but is stranded on a smaller one, on a platform which is sinking into the planet. As its gravity increases, the Sun sucks in more and more rocks from around it, then collapses on its own weight, becoming a giant [[Black Hole]]. It begins to suck up everything around it including Mario, Peach, Bowser's Airship Fleet, Peach's Castle, and the Comet Observatory. It would appear that everything is lost until Mario's (or Luigi's) Luma pops out, waves its arm and zooms toward the black hole.  It is soon joined by all of the other Lumas. The Lumas twist the Black Hole into oblivion, but appear to be destroyed in the process.

Also, if the player slowly move Mario's (or Luigi's) sight around while looking at the castle tower the player can see a missplaced gravity spotlight beam on the star under the castle tower.

It will last forever! I will rule every pitiful corner of the universe. So, Mario/Luigi, as you can see, I got big plans. And stomping you is at the top of my list!”
—Bowser, Super Mario Galaxy

Bowser's Galaxy Reactor is the final galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. It is located in the center of the universe and can be accessed only by talking to Rosalina on the Comet Observatory. After the player talks to her, she will transform the observatory into a comet and fly it to the center of the universe, with very minor resistance along the way. It is the only galaxy with a single star to have its own music.

This is where the final Grand Star is located, and as such features, the final battle between Mario and Bowser. During the battle, Bowser Jr. watches from the sidelines on his airship while holding Princess Peach captive. After defeating Bowser, one of the planets near his large sun implodes and turns into a supermassive black hole, causing the entire galaxy to collapse in upon itself, after which it begins to suck up the entire universe, along with Peach's Castle and the Comet Observatory as well. The Lumas all throw themselves into the black hole to reverse its effects and prevent the destruction of the universe. Afterwards, the galaxy is reformed, and Mario, Peach, Bowser, and many others land safely back in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Planets/Areas[edit]

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.

Starting Area[edit]

Gravity spotlight
The Starting Area, the Castle Wall

This is the first area that Mario encounters after entering the Warp Field inside Peach's Castle. The extensive vertical walls of this strange area appear to be part of a crumbling castle. This particular section of the level contains special gravity spotlights which allow Mario to walk directly up the vertical walls when the gravity field of the spotlights is entered. Several Dry Bones also patrol the area, and can trip Mario if he's not careful.

Lava Planet[edit]

Fire Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Lava Planet

This planet is the first of three-element planets that are encountered one after another. The planet itself is made completely of lava, though it does have multiple steel platforms rising out of the lava, along with moving sections of cooled lava which form moving pathways across the diameter of the planet. The steel platforms on the planet will begin to sink down into the lava as soon as Mario sets foot on them. The only significant obstacles that Mario will face on this planet (aside from the sinking platforms) are Lava Bubbles and Lava Steams. A few coins can be found on certain parts of the planet, along with a 1-Up Mushroom.

Ice sphere[edit]

Ice Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Ice sphere

The ice sphere[1] is similar and seemingly larger than the previous planet Mario visits, except that it is made out of ice instead of lava. It has Ice Blocks that create a path across its frozen surface. The Ice Blocks last for about six seconds before they disappear, meaning that they must be navigated quickly. The ice surface of the planet acts like lava, just like fatally cold water found in Snowman's Land of Super Mario 64.

Sand Planet[edit]

Sand Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Sand Planet

This planet also appears to be larger than the previous planet and is the last element planet, but is made of sand. To get across this planet, Mario must follow moving stone paths to avoid Fire Bars and quicksand that results in instant death. In this sense, it is rather similar to the Lava Planet, as both planets involve a narrow, moving pathway with a deadly substance making up the remainder of the surface and fire-based obstacles. Three tornadoes can also be found here, although they are of no use to Mario, for they only lead to his death.

Lava and Water Planets[edit]

Unreachable water and lava planets in Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Lava and Water Planets

These are two unreachable planets off to the side of the element planets. One is completely made of water, and the other is made of lava.

Space Junk Area[edit]

Cosmic Blocks from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Space Junk Area

These are blocks that float around space, but when Mario gets close to them, the glowing blocks begin to appear beneath Mario's feet, which forms a path for him to continue. If Mario stays on the platform for too long, it will disappear. He must also deal with alterations in the gravity's direction, and time his movements to avoid Firebars.

Lava Tower Planet[edit]

Tower Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Lava Tower Planet

This planet is a cylinder resembling a castle tower, though the inside is walled with lava. This planet has Bullet Bills, Banzai Bills, and Thwomps. Mario must travel to the end to reach the Launch Star using moving and sinking platforms while avoiding all enemies and obstacles with limited cover and a sparse supply of coins. Mario can lure Bullet Bills into Bowser Statues for coins there. The walls of the planet have their own gravity. There is also a hidden black hole found behind and above the planet.

Stairway[edit]

The Pathway from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
The Stairway

This is the pathway toward the battle between Mario and Bowser. It consists of a flight of stairs. There are two side platforms that contain a Life Mushroom and a 1-Up Mushroom on the left and the right of the stairs. If Mario wishes to get there, he must do it quickly or the path will crumble when Bowser Jr. shoots meteors from his airship.

Bowser's Rock Planet[edit]

Purple Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Bowser's Rock Planet

This is the first planet is where the first stage of the final battle takes place. It has prickly plants growing on the surface. Mario can have Bowser crush the plants to get Star Bits and coins.

Bowser's Shell Planet[edit]

Brown Planet from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
Bowser's Shell Planet

This is the second planet where the second stage of the final battle takes place. It has prickly plants and rubbery bulbs growing on the surface of it. Mario can have Bowser crush the prickly plants or spin the rubbery bulbs into the prickly plants to get Star Bits or coins.

What appears to be this planet is shown exploding in the ending cutscene of the game, expanding until it becomes a black hole.

Galaxy Reactor[edit]

The third part of Bowser's final battle
Galaxy Reactor

This last planet is where the third and final stage of the final battle takes place. It has coin lamps and ice crystals containing coins on the surface. The reactor is surrounded by a sphere of lava that makes up the massive sun of Bowser's galaxy. The final Grand Star of the game is hidden inside the reactor. The sphere of lava, however, is not solid.

Enemies[edit]

Mission[edit]

This galaxy contains only the following mission.

Level Image Overview
The Fate of the Universe A large gravity spotlight. This mission's objective is to navigate through the Galaxy Reactor and defeat Bowser for the final time.

Music[edit]

The music that plays is an arrangement of Flying Mario's theme and the game's main theme. It also plays in the Grandmaster Galaxy mission "The Perfect Run" from Super Mario Galaxy 2, along with Gusty Garden Galaxy's theme, Good Egg Galaxy's theme, and the Comet Observatory theme.
