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 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.
