The '''Space Junk Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Like its name implies, the Space Junk Galaxy contains lots of discarded space junk, including old rocket ships, floating debris, and various other objects and platforms.

The [[Pull Star]] is used much more here than in many of the other galaxies. Also, the [[Toad Brigade]] is found here on a large T-Shaped platform covered in crystals; if [[Mario]] frees the Toads trapped in the crystals, the main [[Starshroom]] will appear to take Mario to the next location. There is also a hidden wooden planet shaped like [[Yoshi]]'s head.

The last unique feature of this galaxy is that it has a path that builds itself when Mario approaches it, but crumbles after he leaves. This is later re-used in [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], except the path crumbles after a few seconds automatically.
 
Mario fights two bosses in this galaxy: [[Kamella]] and [[Tarantox]].

The Star Dust Start Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/StarDustStartPlanet.arc).</ref> is a small planet with a glass core. A metallic outer shell shaped like a square is attached to the core by small metal triangles. Mario starts out on this planet in only 1 mission. Its core resembles a miniature Star Dust Rolling Step A.
{{br}}

===Star Dust Rolling Step A===
[[File:Glass_Planet.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Mario on the Star Dust Rolling Step A.]]
The Star Dust Rolling Step A<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/StarDustRollingStepA.arc).</ref> is a small and long planet made out of glass. It has two metal plates on either side. There are three [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]s that contain Star Bits on its surface.
{{br}}

===G Capture Tutorial Zone===
[[File:SMG SJ Pullstars.png|thumb|left|200px|G Capture Tutorial Zone]]
These are two small fields of asteroids that Mario passes through in all of the missions but the second mission in the G Capture Tutorial Zone<ref>File name of the zone, GCaptureTutorialZone.</ref>. There are two fields one at the beginning of the galaxy and one near the Space Junk area. Mario uses small paths of pull stars to navigate himself through the fields. Strangely one of asteroids in the first field is shaped like an "L". If Mario positions himself correctly he can land on these asteroids by using nearby planet's gravity, as these asteroids do not have their own gravity.
{{br}}

===Lava Transparent Planet===
[[File:Orb_Planets.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Mario collecting Star Chips on one of the three Lava Transparent Planets.]]
The Lava Transparent Planets<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/LavaTransparentPlanet.arc).</ref> are three spherical glass planets with [[Amp]]s moving around them. These planets have a ring of metal around their surface and two metal plates on either side. There are five [[Star Chip]]s moving about on these planets. After collecting the Star Chips, Mario can use a Launch Star to go to the Rocket Planet.
{{br}}

===Planet Rocket===
[[File:Space_Ship.PNG|200px|thumb|left|The Planet Rocket.]]
The Planet Rockets<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/PlanetRocket.arc).</ref> are big, long, red-and-tan space ship floating around in space. One is encountered in the first and the other is encountered in the third missions of the galaxy. It has two Crystals containing coins growing out of its portholes. The one on the route to Tarantox in the third mission, the end of the planet features a Sling Pod, along with a few [[Spoing]]s. This planet resembles [[Hocotate Ship|Olimar and Louie's ship]] from ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]''.
{{br}}

===Blue Star Cupsule Planets===
[[File:Pull_Star_Planets.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Two Blue Star Cupsule Planets.]]
The Blue Star Cupsule Planets<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/BlueStarCupsulePlanet.arc). Note: "Cupsule" is a misspelling of "capsule".</ref><ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' trading card info, though it's spelled correctly as "Blue Star Capsule Planet."</ref> are three large, blue versions of the orb planets with [[Pull Star]]s inside of them. These planets act as large Pull Stars that Mario can walk on. The planets seem to amplify the power of the pull stars inside of them seen from the blue glow the planets emit. This means the player is able to grab onto any part of the planets with their cursor and be affected by the pull star.
{{br}}

===T Shape Planet===
[[File:Tower_Planet.PNG|200px|thumb|left|Mario facing some Spoings on the T Shape Planet.]]
The T Shape Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/TShapePlanet.arc).</ref> resembles a tower. It contains some [[Spoing]]s. It is also where Mario finds the [[Toad Brigade]], all of them trapped in a [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]]. After Mario frees them all, the [[Starshroom]] will appear. Various items and a [[Goomba]] are also trapped in crystals. On the top of the Starshroom is a [[Sling Star]], which will take Mario to the Space Junk Area.
{{br}}

===Assembly Block Planet===
[[File:Space_Junk_Area.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Mario on the main platform of the Assembly Block Planet.]]
The only static planet in the Assembly Block Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/AssemblyBlockPlanet.arc).</ref> is the platform on which Mario starts out on. This planet somewhat resembles the starting planet of the galaxy. The "Space Junk" in this area is made up of [[Cosmic Platform]]s. Here, Mario must move around to find that Cosmic Platforms will help him by giving him a floor to walk on. There are five [[Silver Star]]s scattered about that, once collected, will combine to create a Power Star. The player however, must be very careful as to not fall off the [[Space Junk]] and into a [[black hole]]. Later, a more stylized Space Junk Area is used for a Purple Coin mission.
{{br}}

===Airships===
[[File:Airships.png|200px|thumb|left|The Toad Brigade leader's view of the Airships.]]
In the second mission, several airships appear. Members of the Toad Brigade are trapped on the airships. Mario must hit a lever on the first airship to open the bridge, leading to a Sling Star and the second airship. The second airship has a [[Green Shell]]. Mario must throw the Green Shell at the Treasure Chest to unlock a Launch Star. The third airship has green shells, which Mario should throw at a few enemies on the fourth airship to open the bridge to it. The fourth and final airship is purple and red, different than the other airships. It is also where Mario must fight [[Kamella]]. Mario will get a Power Star for defeating Kamella.
{{br}}

===Small Maze Planet===
[[File:Crystal_Planet.PNG|200px|thumb|right|The very shiny, treasure-filled Small Maze Planet.]]
The Small Maze Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/SmallMazePlanet.arc).</ref> is a planet that is encountered shortly before the battle with [[Tarantox]]. At first, [[Mario]] walks on top of it, which is practically a transparent crystal orb. Once he finds the passageway in, he can go under the crystal layer and explore underneath, where there are [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, [[coin]]s, [[Star Bit]]s, and [[Goomba]]s. There is a [[Launch Star]] in this planet, which will blast Mario out of its glassy surface, and take him to the Rock Planet. There is also a [[Hungry Luma]] on the surface of the planet, which will take Mario to the Yoshi Head Planet.
{{br}}

===Grave Stone A===
[[File:Stone_Planet.PNG|200px|thumb|left|GraveStoneA]]
The Grave Stone A<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/GraveStoneA.arc).</ref> is a planet mostly made of gray stone. It has a sort of arch, as seen in the picture. This planet is an entrance to Tarantox's lair. The pre-boss music begins when [[Mario]] lands on this planet, and the spider's Sling Pod Planet is nearby. [[Spoing]]s also dwell here.
[[File:CosmicScuttleBugs.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Grave Stone C]]
The Rock Planet is the first planet in the game to have a [[Sling Pod]] and is the beginning of a long path of them.
On the last Stone Planet, the player can use the Sling Pod there to get back to the Space Ship, by aiming left and then shooting Mario/Luigi. The gravity will pull Mario/Luigi back to the Space Ship
{{br}}

===Phantom Boss Spider Zone===
[[File:Sticky_Planet.PNG|200px|thumb|left|The Phantom Boss Spider Zone, with its shell over it, just before Mario breaks it in half.]]
The Phantom Boss Spider Zone<ref>File name of the zone, PhantomBossSpiderZone.</ref> is exceptionally large and looks like a giant version of the top of a [[Sling Pod]]. In fact, Mario uses a Sling Pod to get to the planet, breaking its shell open and revealing a giant sticky spider web, where he fights Tarantox, who is frozen inside the Sling Pod Planet. Several [[Coin]]s are also stuck in the web, and can be freed using the [[Star Cursor]] to restore some of Mario's health during the battle. After defeating Tarantox, Mario will get a Power Star. There's also a green [[Toad (species)|Toad]] inside the planet, stuck in a Sling Pod.
{{br}}

===Yoshi Head Planet===
[[File:SMG Spacejunkgalaxy.png|thumb|200px|right|The Yoshi Head Planet.]]
The Yoshi Head Planet<ref>File name of the object (Partition 0/ObjectData/YoshiHeadPlanet.arc).</ref> is a small wooden planet in the shape of [[Yoshi]]'s head that shoots steam out of its nostrils. This appears to be the third reference to Yoshi in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the first being the Yoshi game file icon, and the second being the [[Good Egg Galaxy#Egg Planet|Yoshi Egg planet]] from the [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. This planet is home to a number of [[Goomba]]s. These Goombas do not release any Star Bits or coins after they are defeated. When all of them have been destroyed by [[Mario]], he will earn a hidden [[Power Star]]. In addition, when Mario defeats two Goombas in a row by jumping on top of them without touching the ground in between, a counting total will appear on the screen beginning with the number 2. If Mario can continue doing this until he defeats a total of eight Goombas, he will receive an [[extra life]]. Any further Goombas that are defeated without touching the ground will also earn additional extra lives for Mario. This is the only planet in the entire game on which this is possible.

==Trivia== 
*This is the only galaxy to have both a [[Prankster Comet#Speedy Comet|Speedy Comet]] mission and a timed [[Purple Coin]] mission.
*There appears to be unused data in the source code of the game for a Cosmic Mario race which was never added in the official release of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', being replaced with the Speedy Comet mission instead, likely due to the [[Pull Star]]s. However, if the data for the Speed Comet mission is replaced by Cosmic Comet data, the mission can be played like a regular Cosmic Mario race.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge5JcN0tXY0</ref>
