The '''Grand World Map''' is a large map that displays all seven [[World#Super Mario Galaxy 2|Worlds]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is first shown to [[Mario]] by [[Lubba]] after [[World 2 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 2]] has been unlocked at the beginning of the game. When accessed, it will allow [[Starship Mario]] to travel to any of the seven worlds (once unlocked of course) in the same way as it would travel to different [[Galaxy|galaxies]] within a World, though much more quickly. For example, Starship Mario could travel from [[World 1 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 1]] to World 2 via a direct line between the two, as opposed to being forced to travel past every galaxy found in World 1 to reach the [[Portal]] leading to World 2. Although they are connected, the Worlds on the Grand World Map are not found in a straight line, and thus the lines between them causes the entire map to have a large zigzag shape. It can be accessed at any point in the game (only while in a World though) by pressing {{button|wii|Paddown}} on the [[Wii Remote]], or by simply pressing the "Zoom Out" button found at the top right of the screen. | The '''Grand World Map''' is a large and expansive map that displays all seven [[World#Super Mario Galaxy 2|Worlds]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

One of the main differences between a World Map and the Grand World Map is that when using the Grand World Map, the player can actually see the World adjacent to the World that they are currently in (whether they can access it yet or not), which is impossible on a regular World Map. This becomes apparent when the player accesses the Grand World Map for the first time, as the player is in World 2 at this point, and can clearly see [[World 3 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 3]] to the right, but cannot access it yet. This is due to the fact that, just like the pathways found in any of the Worlds, the pathways between Worlds on the Grand World Map originally start out as dotted blue lines which restrict the player's immediate access. As Mario progresses through the game and collects more [[Power Star]]s, the dotted blue lines gradually turn into solid yellow lines which allow Starship Mario to advance further. | One of the main differences between a World Map and the Grand World Map is that when using the Grand World Map, the player can actually see the World adjacent to the World that they are currently in (whether they can access it yet or not), which is impossible on a regular World Map.
