Template:Galaxybox Flash Black Galaxy is a galaxy appearing in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. Located in World 6, the galaxy takes place in a large mansion. However, everything is pitch black except for the occasional second of lightning, which illuminates the area. In addition, there are many gaps in the ground. Yoshi is found here and the level makes extensive use of the Blimp Fruit. Common enemies and obstacles here include Mines, Jack O'Goombas, and Flaptacks.

Trivia

The building in the Flash Black Galaxy
The building in the background
  • The galaxy's name "Flash Black" is a pun on "flashback" and "black", since most of the time the galaxy is black to the point where it is invisible to the eye until it flashes like a camera.
  • If the players go to the Maze Planet in any of the missions and look at the back of the maze, they will see a large, hollow, well-lit structure.
  • The exterior design of the starting planet resembles the Ghostly Galaxy of the first game.
  • The player can use the Infinite Flutter Jump glitch to land on the roof of the Mansion Planet in this galaxy.
