'''Beat Block Galaxy''' is a galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. This is a very unique stage in which [[Blinking Block|Beat Block]]s disappear and reappear to the beat of the music, as the name suggests (it is a pun on "beat-box", where one uses their mouth to make the sounds of hip-hop and electronic music). Another unique feature is that the Wii Remote will beep three times before the blocks swap. These three beeps are also heard elsewhere in the game such as the [[Flipsville Galaxy]], [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]], and [[Battle Belt Galaxy]]. Enemies here include [[Octoomba]]s (on the green blocks) and [[Goombeetle]]s (on the yellow blocks), although they aren't present in the prankster comet mission. Mario can visit this galaxy after he feeds a [[Hungry Luma]] one thousand [[Star Bit]]s. The theme that plays here is an arrangement of the [[Underground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' This stage's main mechanic is reused in later games such as ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]].

===Beat Block Starting Path===
[[File:SMG2 Beat Block Starting Platform.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario on the {{conjectural|Beat Block Starting Path|area}}.]]
[[File:SMG2 Beat Blocks.png|thumb|200px]]
This is the first area the player will travel through. It is basically an L-shaped path. In the first part of the area are a few Beat Blocks separated by purple platforms. Near the end of the path, more Beat Blocks are added and a purple platform connects this path with the second path. Inside the Crystal there is a [[Goomba]].

===Beat Block Path 2===
[[File:BeBlG2.png|thumb|200px|Mario on {{conjectural|Beat Block Path 2|area}}.]]
This path is a more advanced version of the first one. The first part of the area is completely made of Beat Blocks, so there is no safe spot. There will be a [[Checkpoint Flag]] shortly after and then a path connecting to the final area. The Comet Medal is on this path.

===Beat Block Pyramid===
[[File:SMG2 Beat Block Blinking Block Pyramid.png|left|thumb|200px|Mario on the {{conjectural|Beat Block Pyramid|area}}.]]
[[File:SMG2 Beat Block Top of the Pyramid.png|thumb|200px|Mario on the {{conjectural|Beat Block Pyramid|area}} during the second mission.]]
This area is basically one large pyramid made completely of Beat Blocks except for the corners and platform at the top with five [[Silver Star]]s spread throughout the area. During the [[#Step to the Beep|Step to the Beep]], [[#Green Star 1|Green Star 1]], and [[#Green Star 2|Green Star 2]] missions, only half the pyramid is present. However, during the [[#Silver Stars in Double Time|Silver Stars in Double Time]] mission, the pyramid is complete. The only enemies on here are [[Octoomba]]s and [[Goombeetle]]s. When [[Mario]] has collected the five Silver Stars here, the beat blocks that comprise the pyramid will stop alternating and beeping, and the player is free to collect the [[Power Star]].

===Green Stars===
====Green Star 1====
[[File:SMG2 Beat Block Green Star 1.png|thumb|200px|Luigi near the first Green Star.]]
The player will redo the [[Step to the Beep]] mission. When the player reaches the purple platform that connects the two paths, they should break the [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)| Crystal]] and then backflip followed by a [[Spin]] to get the [[Green Star]] in the top left corner. Alternatively, it is possible to reach this Green Star by performing a [[Triple Jump]] along the Beat Blocks; rotating the camera so that the Star is in front of Mario facing upwards helps.
