Drip Drop Galaxy

“Ever since those big eels showed up, we haven't caught ANY fish!”

—Penguru, Super Mario Galaxy

The Drip Drop Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. The player must feed a Hungry Luma 600 Star Bits to unlock the galaxy. It is essentially a large planet made almost entirely of water, with a small sandy core and two small floating islands. Sitting on the core of this galaxy, on the bottom of the sea, are some boulders. There is a sunken airship, as well as a sunken Starshroom and a volcanic vent. The planet is inhabited by thirteen penguins, three Gringills, and various fish, including some Spiny Cheep-Cheeps that are located inside treasure chests. Torpedo Teds are also shot from various areas underwater.

Planets/Areas

Tear Drop Planet

Mario on the Tear Drop Planet.

Tear Drop Planet is the main planet that is made mostly of water with the exception of a sand core and two islands. Three Gringills patrol the waters and keep the penguins from catching any fish. On the sandy core, there is a sunken airship, as well as a mysterious sunken Starshroom. No explanation for these is ever made in the game, and it can only be assumed that they were involved in some form of collision.
