'''Flipsville Galaxy''' is a galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is located in World 4. The galaxy is homely themed, with most of the galaxy taken place in a dollhouse-like area. Gates are plentiful in this area and Mario will need to use them to avoid the spikes, getting to a different area, or killing/avoiding certain enemies. [[Pupdozer]]s can only be killed by the means of the flipping of gates. A pig like boss named [[Glamdozer]] appears here. The galaxy has some 2D areas where the [[Spin Drill]] is available.

'''Flipsville Galaxy''' is the second level in [[World 4 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 4]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is home-themed, with a few dollhouse-like planets. The main gimmick in this galaxy is [[grate]]s, which [[Mario]] can [[Ground Pound]] to flip the gravity and switch between the top and underside of each planet. This change is reflected by a screen of white arrows (similar to a [[gravity field]]) against the lavender sky, which always point to the direction of the gravitational pull. Mario can also use grates to defeat the [[Pupdozer]] enemy and its boss variation, [[Glamdozer]], both exclusive to this area. The [[Spin Drill]] is available in later missions.
 
This is one of four galaxies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in which the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] forewarns the player of upcoming obstacles, the other three being the [[Beat Block Galaxy]], the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]], and the [[Battle Belt Galaxy]].

===Moving Gate Planet===
===Starshroom===
When the player lands on this planet, they will need to flip the gate to get to the underside of the planet. The player will need to wait for the gate to come by so the player can hop onto. The player will contine to ride the gate while avoiding spikes and jumping moving platforms to the Gate End Planet.
[[File:SMG2 Flipsville Starshroom.png|thumb|200px|The Starshroom.]]
<br clear=all>
This Starshroom is visited right before the fight with [[Glamdozer]]. [[Hint Toad|Blue Toad]] can be found here to give Mario a hint as to how to defeat Glamdozer. The [[Prima Games]] guide mistakenly colors the Starshroom blue, but in the game, it's actually red. As of this point, the sky becomes blue and the surrounding white arrows disappear.


===Gate End Planet===
===Boss Bussun Planet===
This is a generally small area where the Moving Gate Planet ends. The only enemies here are two [[Pupdozer]]s and an [[Octoomba]]. The [[Launch Star]] will take the player to the [[Starshroom]] right before the fight with [[Glamdozer]].
[[File:SMG2 Flipsville Glamdozer Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario on the Boss Bussun Planet.]]
<br clear=all>
The Boss Bussun Planet<ref name=Noclip></ref> is a flat, circular green planet with six grates and [[coin]]s. The player fights Glamdozer here. Unlike the planets before it, Mario can travel between its sides alternatively by walking over the edge.


===Glamdozer's Planet===

===Underground Gravity Area===
===Timer Gravity Change Drill Room===
This area can be accessed by taking the [[Warp Pipe]] on the Dirt Tower Planet. This area is separated into nine sections by the dirt. The music will change similar to that of [[Beat Block Galaxy]]'s. After a certain beat, the gravity of the area will change. The player must use the [[Spin Drill]] to collect five [[Silver Star]]s in the second mission and 100 [[Purple Coin]]s in the third mission. The only enemies here are [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]].

===Flip Flopping in Flipsville===
===Green Stars===
The player will land on the [[#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]], where they'll notice [[Pupdozer]]s walking around. The player can defeat these enemies by flipping them over with the gates on the ground. They will have to make their way to the Launch Star by flipping gates. One of the gates leads to the level's [[Comet Medal]]. After the player finds the Launch Star at the top, they will be taken to the [[#Chomp Planet|Chomp Planet]]. The player will basically just have to progress through this area while using the gates to avoid being hit by an [[Incoming Chomp]]. After the player takes the Launch Star to the [[#Moving Gate Planet|Moving Gate Planet]], they will need to go under the level and wait for the gate to come by. The player will need to continuously switch gates and avoid spikes until they reach the [[#Gate End Planet|Gate End Planet]]. The player should take the Launch Star to a nearby [[Starshroom]] where a [[Midway Point]] and [[Luma Shop]] are. After that, the player should take the Launch Star to [[#Glamdozer's Planet|Glamdozer's Planet]] where they'll fight [[Glamdozer]]. After Glamdozer is defeated, the player will earn the [[Power Star]].
====Green Star 1====
[[File:SMG2 Flipsville Green Star 1.png|thumb|200px|Luigi near the first Green Star.]]
The player will redo the [[Flip-Flopping in Flipsville]] mission. This time, when the player gets to the [[Launch Star]] on the [[#Both Side Maze Room Planet|Both Side Maze Room Planet]], they should look around for an edge of a wall that is glimmering. The player will need to stay close to the edge of the wall and fall down to get the Star.

;Planets Visited
When the player lands on the [[#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]], they should notice some drastic changes. The gates have been removed and are now replaces with dirt patches. [[Mecha Koopa]]s replace the [[Pupdozer]]s and the [[Spin Drill]] is available. The [[Launch Star]] is located in the same area as the first one, but the player will need to travel throught the dirt patches instead of flipping gates. The Launch Star will take the player to the [[#Dirt Tower Planet|Dirt Tower Planet]] where the player must find their way to the [[Warp Pipe]] above using the [[Spin Drill]] located behind tower. Once the player enters the warp pipe, they should notice the music change and the gravity changing to the beat. The player will need to collect the five [[Silver Star]]s located in the sections of the area. [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] block some of the stars, but they can easily be defeated by the Spin Drill. The [[Power Star]] will appear in the middle section.

Flipsville Galaxy is the second level in World 4 in Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is home-themed, with a few dollhouse-like planets. The main gimmick in this galaxy is grates, which Mario can Ground Pound to flip the gravity and switch between the top and underside of each planet. This change is reflected by a screen of white arrows (similar to a gravity field) against the lavender sky, which always point to the direction of the gravitational pull. Mario can also use grates to defeat the Pupdozer enemy and its boss variation, Glamdozer, both exclusive to this area. The Spin Drill is available in later missions.

This is one of four galaxies in Super Mario Galaxy 2 in which the Wii Remote forewarns the player of upcoming obstacles, the other three being the Beat Block Galaxy, the Upside Dizzy Galaxy, and the Battle Belt Galaxy.

Planets

Both Side Maze Room Planet

Mission Starter
The Both Side Maze Room Planet.
The Starting Planet during Mission 2.

The Both Side Maze Room Planet[1] is modeled after the interior of a dollhouse, featuring several rooms separated by wooden walls and the floor. There are many grates that the player can use to go under the stage and vice-versa. Pupdozers are bountiful in this area. Some Octoombas can be found here along with the Comet Medal. The Launch Star is located at the top of the planet. During the second mission, the grates are absent and are replaced with dirt patches. Pupdozers are replaced by Micro Mecha-Bowsers and the Spin Drill appears in various places.

Both Side Wanwan Planet

Mario flying to the Both Side Wanwan Planet.

The Both Side Wanwan Planet[1] resembles a big white dollhouse, with Mario exploring its surroundings. The only enemies here are Chomps and Octoombas. The player can use the grates to their advantage to avoid being hit by a Chomp. The Launch Star at the end will take the player to the Both Side Lift Planet.

When the player lands on the Both Side Lift Planet[1], they will need to flip the gate to get to the underside. The next section involves a series of moving platforms with grates in the middle, which they must use carefully to avoid spikes. At the end of the planet is a generally small area. The only enemies here are two Pupdozers on the top and an Octoomba on the opposite side. The Launch Star among the Pupdozers will take the player to the Starshroom.

Starshroom

The Starshroom in the Flipsville Galaxy
The Starshroom.

This Starshroom is visited right before the fight with Glamdozer. Blue Toad can be found here to give Mario a hint as to how to defeat Glamdozer. The Prima Games guide mistakenly colors the Starshroom blue, but in the game, it's actually red. As of this point, the sky becomes blue and the surrounding white arrows disappear.

Boss Bussun Planet

Mario on the Boss Bussun Planet.

The Boss Bussun Planet[1] is a flat, circular green planet with six grates and coins. The player fights Glamdozer here. Unlike the planets before it, Mario can travel between its sides alternatively by walking over the edge.

Both Side Drill Tower Planet

Mario drilling through the Both Side Drill Tower Planet.
Mario on the Dirt Tower Planet in the Flipsville Galaxy.
Mario at the bottom of the Both Side Drill Tower Planet.

The Both Side Drill Tower Planet[1] is a small patch of dirt being transversed by a large dirt tower straight through the middle. The player must use the Spin Drill located behind the tower to get to the top where the Warp Pipe is. The only enemies here are Twirlips.

Timer Gravity Change Drill Room

Mario in the Timer Gravity Change Drill Room.

The Timer Gravity Change Drill Room[1] can be accessed by taking the Warp Pipe on the Both Side Drill Tower Planet. The music played here is Beat Block Galaxy's. This area is separated into nine sections like a 3×3 grid. Each room has its own gravity field, which cycles between two specific directions following the rhythmic signal of the background music. The player must use the Spin Drill here to find five Silver Stars in the second mission and 100 Purple Coins in the third mission. The only enemies here are Fuzzies.

The player will redo the Flip-Flopping in Flipsville mission. When the player gets to the Both Side Wanwan Planet, they should avoid the first Chomp and use the gate to get to the second area. When the player reaches the circle with the Life Mushroom, they should notice a raised platform with an Octoomba on it. The player must execute either a backflip followed by Star Spin or a wall jump and Star Spin to get the Green Star on the roof.

Green Star 3

Luigi looking at the third Green Star.

The player will redo the Flip-Flopping in Flipsville mission. When the player gets to the end of the Both Side Lift Planet, they should notice the Green Star out of reach in the top right corner. The player must flip the grate to get under the level, causing the gravity to change as shown by the arrows. The player will then need to jump from the bottom right corner to get the star. If the player misses the Star, they will automatically lose a life.

Alternatively, the player can perform a homing Ground Pound to collect the Star, though the player should be positioned close enough to the star to avoid missing.

Prima Official Game Guide description

  • "Flipsville Galaxy has fun with the pull of gravity. You are usually pulled toward the floor, no matter which side of the planet you stand on. Use grates to flip back and forth between sides of the planets as you pursue the Power Stars."
