The '''Flip-Out Galaxy''' is a galaxy that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and is located in [[World S]]. It is unlocked by feeding the [[Hungry Luma]] 2,000 [[Star Bit]]s, and is the final galaxy that can be unlocked before the player obtains 240 [[Power Star]]s. The galaxy uses the same concept as the [[Flip-Swap Galaxy]] from [[World 1 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 1]], except that instead of controlling [[Red-Blue Panel]]s, the player controls [[red and blue blocks]]. In this regard, it combines the mechanics of the Flip-Swap Galaxy with [[Wall Jump]]ing. The player needs to use the walls to their advantage in order to progress through the level. Common enemies here are [[Spoing]]s, [[Choppah]]s, and [[Cosmic Clone]]s, the last of which appear only in the second level. This is the only galaxy where a [[Green Star]] is found in a [[Prankster Comet]] mission.


The '''Flip-Out Galaxy''' is a galaxy that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and is located in [[World S]]. It is the final galaxy unlocked before the player obtains 240 Power Stars. The galaxy uses the same concept as the [[Flip-Swap Galaxy]] from [[World 1 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 1]], except that instead of controlling [[Reversible Platform]]s, the player controls [[Reversible Wall]]s. In this regard, it cleverly combines the mechanics of the Flip-Swap Galaxy with [[Wall Jump]]ing. The player needs to use the walls to their advantage in order to progress through the level. Common enemies here are [[Scuttlebug]]s, [[Choppah]]s, and [[Cosmic Clone]]s, the last of which appear only in the second level.  
The galaxy's name may come from the idiom "flip out", meaning to lose control of oneself.

A small planet with two [[Star Bunnies]] to explain how to use the walls, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] and a [[Warp Pipe]] that takes Mario to the Flip Wall Planet. There are a few walls that either go inside the wall or pop out of the wall. Mostly, this planet is for preparing Mario for the next planet.

Mario first starts off onto the starting planet. After practicing how to control the spin-activated walls, Mario enters a pipe leading straight to the Flip Wall Planet. Here, he must travel up the flip walls by means of hopping or even wall jumping. Soon, Mario will reach a spike trap area where he must carefully time his movements to make it safely over. Afterwards, Mario was once again deal with flip walls while avoiding Choppahs. Next, the player will find Mario once again facing eight sets of spikes he must avoid. What is challenging is avoiding the flip walls at the same time making sure he doesn't touch the spikes. Soon, Mario will end up at the hardest part of the course. The player has to carefully guide Mario's wall jumps along the blocks, being mindful of when to spin in mid-air to activate a different color block to wall jump off of. Upon reaching the top, Mario needs to break open the crystal and claim the Power Star in it to complete the level.

This Prankster Comet level has Mario completing Wicked Wall Jumps again, except with Cosmic Clones trailing behind him. They begin appearing as soon as Mario arrives on the Flip Wall planet and they stay with him throughout the entire level, though there are checkpoints here so if Mario loses a life, he can restart there. Breaking open the crystal containing the Power Star at the end of the level defeats all of the Cosmic Clones.


====Green Star 2====
[[File:SMG2 Flip Out Green Star 2.png|thumb|200px|Location of the second Green Star.]]
The second Green Star is found in the Cosmic Clone Wall Jumpers mission. Right near the end of the level, the player has to wall jump off the last red wall and avoid spinning the blue wall. If timed right, Mario should land onto the star. This Star is easier to get if the player gets rid of the Cosmic Clones first.

The Flip-Out Galaxy is a galaxy that appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2, and is located in World S. It is unlocked by feeding the Hungry Luma 2,000 Star Bits, and is the final galaxy that can be unlocked before the player obtains 240 Power Stars. The galaxy uses the same concept as the Flip-Swap Galaxy from World 1, except that instead of controlling Red-Blue Panels, the player controls red and blue blocks. In this regard, it combines the mechanics of the Flip-Swap Galaxy with Wall Jumping. The player needs to use the walls to their advantage in order to progress through the level. Common enemies here are Spoings, Choppahs, and Cosmic Clones, the last of which appear only in the second level. This is the only galaxy where a Green Star is found in a Prankster Comet mission.

The galaxy's name may come from the idiom "flip out", meaning to lose control of oneself.

A small planet with two Star Bunnies to explain how to use the walls, a 1-Up Mushroom and a Warp Pipe that takes Mario (or Luigi) to the Flip Wall Planet. There are a few walls that either go inside the wall or pop out of the wall. Mostly, this planet is for preparation for the next planet.
