The '''Grandmaster Galaxy''' is the final galaxy of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', located in [[World S]]. It is analogous to the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' because the player must collect all 240 [[Power Star]]s (without any [[Bronze Star]]s) and [[Green Star]]s to unlock it. It contains two Power Stars: one for completing the level and another one for a second completion under [[Prankster Comet#Daredevil Comet|Daredevil Comet]] conditions. In the latter case, the player gets the Star from [[Rosalina]]. This is the only galaxy where Green Stars do not appear because the player has to collect all of the Green Stars in the game in order to unlock this galaxy.

This galaxy starts a trend in future ''Super Mario'' titles of a challenging level being unlocked after completing everything else in the game (or otherwise meeting certain post-game unlock criteria), inspiring [[Special 8-Crown]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', [[Champion's Road]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', the [[Darker Side]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', and [[The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.

The Grandmaster Galaxy is the final galaxy of Super Mario Galaxy 2, located in World S. It is analogous to the Grand Finale Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy because the player must collect all 240 Power Stars (without any Bronze Stars) and Green Stars to unlock it. It contains two Power Stars: one for completing the level and another one for a second completion under Daredevil Comet conditions. In the latter case, the player gets the Star from Rosalina. This is the only galaxy where Green Stars do not appear because the player has to collect all of the Green Stars in the game in order to unlock this galaxy.

If the player collects all Stars and then completes this galaxy, a special message will appear on their Wii Message Board, both congratulating and thanking the player for completing the game 100%.

This galaxy starts a trend in future Super Mario titles of a challenging level being unlocked after completing everything else in the game (or otherwise meeting certain post-game unlock criteria), inspiring Special 8-Crown in Super Mario 3D Land, Champion's Road in Super Mario 3D World, the Darker Side in Super Mario Odyssey, and The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
