The '''Comet Observatory''' (also called the '''Observatory Grounds''' or just the '''Observatory''' by ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''{{'}}s pause menus) is one of the many areas from ''Super Mario Galaxy''. It acts as the hub area, similar to [[Peach's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' or [[Delfino Plaza]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The Comet Observatory is controlled by [[Rosalina]], and it acts as the home of both her and the [[Luma]]s, as well as a single [[Gearmo]]. | The '''Comet Observatory''' (also called the '''Observatory Grounds''' or just the '''Observatory''' by ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''{{'}}s pause menus) is one of the many areas from ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

Soon, other Lumas came to live in the Comet Observatory as well, and Luma transformed into the [[Beacon]] that powers the Observatory. | ||
The Comet Observatory normally comes into orbit around the [[Earth]] every 100 years, and during that time, the people of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] celebrate the [[Star Festival]], thinking that the observatory is simply a comet. During the most recent Star Festival however, [[Bowser]]'s forces attacked the Comet Observatory, causing it to lose its power source: [[Grand Star]]s and [[Power Star]]s. They were scattered throughout the cosmos following the attack, causing the Comet Observatory to remain immobilized above the Mushroom Kingdom. He later attacked [[Toad Town]] during their celebrations. Only after [[Mario]] recovers five out of seven Grand Stars can the Observatory fly like a starship again. When this has been accomplished, Rosalina takes Mario (or [[Luigi]]) to the [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor|Center of the Universe]] to rescue [[Princess Peach]]. | The Comet Observatory normally comes into orbit around the [[Earth]] every 100 years, and during that time, the people of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] celebrate the [[Star Festival]], thinking that the observatory is simply a comet.

There are six [[dome]]s located throughout the Comet Observatory, which act as Mario's means of accessing all of the galaxies that he will encounter in the game. In order, the domes are the [[Terrace (Super Mario Galaxy)|Terrace]], the [[Fountain]], the [[Kitchen (Super Mario Galaxy)|Kitchen]], the [[Bedroom (Super Mario Galaxy)|Bedroom]], the [[Engine Room]], and the [[Garden (Super Mario Galaxy)|Garden]]. Galaxies are accessed by collecting multiple [[Power Star]]s to unlock more and more domes. Additional Galaxies can be unlocked by feeding the seven [[Hungry Luma]]s that appear outside each dome (and the [[Gate (Super Mario Galaxy)|Gate]]). According to the Lumas, the domes are used to view the cosmos. Other areas in the Observatory are the [[Garage (Super Mario Galaxy)|Garage]], the [[Library (Super Mario Galaxy)|Library]], and the Gate. | There are six [[dome]]s located throughout the Comet Observatory, which act as Mario's means of accessing all of the galaxies that he will encounter in the game.

Parts of the observatory are broken off and scattered as [[Peach's Castle]] crashes into the side of it. However, the Lumas all sacrifice themselves by jumping into the black hole, creating a large explosion and reforming the entire cosmos. It can also be inferred that this explosion reformed the Comet Observatory, as it is seen intact in the ending sequence after collecting 120 Power Stars and defeating Bowser a second time. Rosalina transforms it into a comet once again and then flies off to parts unknown. | ||
As the game progresses, the waltz-like theme that plays in this area gains more instruments, though the [[Gateway Galaxy]] theme plays instead before the player completes the first mission. If Mario or Luigi try to jump off the Comet Observatory, they will be enveloped in an energy-like bubble and return to safe ground. After completing [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]] for the first time, a countdown will appear on the tiles underneath Rosalina (talking to her again from that point on will result in her asking if the player wants to complete that level again) showing how many Power Stars are still left to be collected. When all of the stars are finally collected, fulfilling 100% completion, then the countdown will read zero and it will be possible to play as Luigi. | As the game progresses, the waltz-like theme that plays in this area gains more instruments, though the [[Gateway Galaxy]] theme plays instead before the player completes the first mission.
