Nintendo101 (talk | contribs) (→Returning enemies: Carried over some of the text used for the SMG article and adjusted as needed. There was some information carried over last time that was unique to SMG. While probably still programmed into the game, I don't believe the player is giving any opportunity to attack Gringills in this game. In the one galaxy with both Koopas and Gringills, they don't occur on the same planet, so there is no opportunity to hit one with a shell.) |

''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' is the first 3D ''Super Mario'' game to include a dedicated secret world accessible only after completing the main story, similar to the [[Special Zone]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (1990) or [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' (2009). Called World S, this world contains several galaxies based around planets from the first ''Super Mario Galaxy'' that have been modified in ways that make them more challenging. | ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' is the first 3D ''Super Mario'' game to include a dedicated secret world accessible only after completing the main story, similar to the [[Special Zone]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (1990) or [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros.

There are 49 galaxies in the game | There are 49 galaxies in the game, 50 if Starship Mario is included. The chart below lists the galaxies in the order that they appear on the [[Star List]]. The galaxies are separated and color-coded according to the world they occur in. Each galaxy is given a brief description, an in-game screenshot, and a list of its missions. The descriptions come from the official [[Prima Games]] guide for ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.<ref>Catherine Browne. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2: Prima Official Game Guide''.

The passengers that board the Starship Mario represent the various people and characters encountered in the galaxies. Some passengers will board once they are met in a mission, but others have more specific criteria required (see below). The more the player completes of the game, the livelier the Starship Mario becomes with characters and the more elaborate its music becomes – elements shared with the [[Comet Observatory]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. The passengers will share tricks on level progression or actions when prompted. Some allude to late-game secrets. The last passenger – [[Rosalina]] – is the final unlockable of the game. [[Pianta]]s are the only people to not have a representative on the Starship Mario. The passengers and the criteria needed for them to board is outlined below. | The passengers that board the Starship Mario represent the various people and characters encountered in the galaxies.

=== | ===Red-Blue Panel jump glitch=== | ||
In | In [[Flip-Swap Galaxy]], [[Mario]] can use the upward momentum from a [[Red-Blue Panel]] flipping up to perform an extremely long, high [[jump]]. Mario must be on one of the non-flipping platforms in the galaxy. Then, he must run toward an empty space that a flipping platform flips to when Mario spins. Right before Mario runs into the empty space, he must spin to make the flipping platform flip to the empty space. Mario should fall onto the flipping platform while it is still rising. Finally, Mario must perform a [[Long Jump]] right before the platform stops moving. The timing for this is difficult, but if performed correctly, Mario does a "superjump" that covers huge distance and can be used as a shortcut.<ref name=SonOfAGlitch/><ref>packattack04082 (Jun 20, 2010) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1G8YcAgwgU ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' - Flip-Swap Galaxy - Think Before You Shake - 30.11] ''YouTube''.
