Dark matter is an obstacle in Super Mario Galaxy, which appears in Bowser's Dark Matter Plant. It can be found in patches, and has a swirly, purple and black appearance to it; its appearance is similar to poison. In the sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, it is found rarely in the game, appearing in the missions "Boomsday Machine Daredevil Run" in Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker and "Silver Stars in the Purple Pond" in the Cloudy Court Galaxy.

If Mario or Luigi touch any dark matter, they disintegrate and lose a life. Dark matter can also burn holes in the ground that make Mario or Luigi lose a life should they fall into one.

Trivia

  • In reality, dark matter is a theoretical substance that takes up a significant portion of the universe and explains how the outer edges of a galaxy move faster than projected in their rotation curve. It does not emit nor absorb a significant level of radiation of any sort, making it difficult to detect.
