'''Puzzle Plank Galaxy''' is the first galaxy of [[World 2 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)| World 2]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The galaxy features wooden planks floating in a blue sky, that [[Mario]] can stand on them as platforms. However, some sections of these platforms are cut by [[Grinder]]s that eventually remove a part of the plank that falls to the void. If the plumber stays on these platforms, he would lose a life, falling to the void. Some enemies such as [[Wiggler]]s and [[Mandibug]]s can be found here as well as the prominent appearance of the Grinders. A remix of the galaxy's music appears as an available track that can be played in events in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''.

===Starting Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Puzzle Plank Starting Planet.png|thumb|200px|Mario on the {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}.]]
[[File:SMG2 Puzzle Plank Switch.png|thumb|left|200px|The other part of the {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}.]]
The planet is split up into two sections. The top section is made up of two large, wooden blocks connected by a wooden structure in the shape of an "H". Ground pounding the symbol on the "H" will take the player to the second portion of the planet. In this area, there are two [[Wiggler]]s walking in a circular fashion. There are also four red switches, one in each of the corners. The bottom left contains [[Star Bit]]s. The upper left activates [[note]]s that will go in an inwards spiral motion. The notes will play the [[bonus game (Super Mario World)|bonus game]] theme from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. The upper right has coins, and the bottom right switch reveals the [[Launch Star]].

===Pound Pillars Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Puzzle Plank Pound Pillars Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario on the {{conjectural|Pound Pillars Planet|planet}}.]]
[[File:SMG2 Ground Pound Towers.png|thumb|200px|The pillars on the other side.]]
This planet has three pillars on it, each pounded on the other side of the planet. The player has to ground pound them again so he can access the Launch Star by using them. There are also [[Grinder]]s along the sides and some [[Octoomba]]s scattered around the planet. There is also a [[Hungry Luma]] who wants 70 coins and a green [[Warp Pipe]] that leads into a room with a [[? Coin]], which will make many sets of 3 coins appear. Once the [[Hungry Luma]] is fed 70 [[coin]]s, it will transform into three planets rather than one: the [[#Wood Island Planets|Wood Island Planets]] as well as [[#Bugaboom's Wooden Planet|Bugaboom's Wooden Planet]].  If the player collects all coins before time runs out, he'll get a 1-Up. The player can also backflip and spin jump next to the [[Launch Star]] on the planet to activate it. This planet is also one of three planets that appear on the cover of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The launch star may be reached with Luigi by ground-pounding the red block once then back flipping up to the star.

===Purple Coin Vault===
[[File:SMG2 Puzzle Plank Purple Coin Vault.png|thumb|200px|Mario inside the {{conjectural|Purple Coin Vault|planet}}.]]
This is not a planet, but rather a location only accessible during the [[Purple Coin Shadow Vault]] mission. It is located inside the [[Warp Pipe]] on the [[#Pound Pillars Planet|Pound Pillars Planet]]. The vault has a total of 100 [[Purple Coin]]s, split up into 25 separate groups of four coins. [[Cosmic Clone]]s are found in this area as well.

===Grinder Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Puzzle Plank Grinder Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario approaching the {{conjectural|Grinder Planet|planet}}.]]
[[File:SMG2 Screenshot Mandibug.png|thumb|200px|A planet off into the distance.]]
This planet is split up into several "parts", the entirety of it being infested with [[Grinder]]s, [[Slurple]]s, [[Flipbug]]s, and [[Mandibug]]s. The Grinders will activate when the player is in close proximity to them. These will cut out pieces of the level, creating gaps and making traversing the planet harder. However, some of the Grinders are needed to proceed through as they cut out pieces of the level that open the way to continuing. The [[Comet Medal]] is located in the light brown section where the player first lands.

===Picture Block===
[[File:SMG2 Puzzle Plank Picture Block.png|thumb|200px|Mario atop the unfinished picture block.]]
This planet is a picture block puzzle, with the picture being that of a green beetle with large, swirly eyes and a long antennaes. The player has to solve the puzzle and get the full Mandibug picture. To complete the puzzle, the player must ground pound blocks into the open space until all the blocks form the picture. After that, a couple of Mandibugs appear and the player has to defeat them to get the [[Power Star]].

This planet is named in the first mission, [[The Puzzling Picture Block]].

===Bugaboom's Planet===
[[File:SMG2 Puzzle Plank Bugabooms Planet.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario nearing {{conjectural|Bugaboom's Planet|planet}}.]]
This is the planet where the player battles [[Bugaboom]]. The player must feed a Hungry Luma 70 coins on the [[#Pound Pillars Planet|Pound Pillars Planet]] to allow it to transform it into this planet. It is a wooden bonsai-like planet that has [[trampoline]]s, several [[Cloud Flower]]s, and dandelions on it. The planet also has some parts of it covered in shallow streams and lakes of water. The planet's environment resembles an autumn version of the same planet in [[Honeyhive Galaxy]] in the first ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

===Green Stars===
====Green Star 1====
[[File:SMG2 Puzzle Plank Green Star 1.png|thumb|250px|Mario below the first Green Star.]]
The player will redo [[The Puzzling Picture Block]] mission. When the player first lands on the [[#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]], they should make their way north to the [[trampoline]]. The player should make sure to carefully execute a jump on the trampoline and land on top of the [[? Block]] without breaking it. Above the ? Block is the [[Green Star]], which can then be obtained with a backflip followed by a [[Spin|Star Spin]].

====Green Star 2====
[[File:SMG2 Puzzle Plank Green Star 2.png|thumb|250px|Mario about to get the second Green Star.]]
The player will redo [[The Puzzling Picture Block]] mission again. This time, the player should make their way to the [[#Grinder Planet|Grinder Planet]]. Once the player lands on the planet, they should quickly run to the piece of wood that is stood up vertically, forming a wall. Before the Grinder cuts the wood, the player should [[Wall Jump]] off the wood to reach the Green Star. The [[Co-Star Luma]] can also stop the Grinder, making this Green Star easier to recover. If the player is too late to wall jump off the wall, they can triple jump with the second jump landing on the little round part that sticks out and they should be able to get the star.

====Green Star 3====

The player will need to redo [[The Puzzling Picture Block]] mission once more and make their way to the [[#Grinder Planet|Grinder Planet]] once more. However, the player should go to the area right before the [[Mandibug]]s and [[Slurple]]s. They should wait until the platform they are standing on it cut by the Grinder. The Green Star should be in reach during the platform's slow descent.
