The '''Beach Bowl Galaxy''' is one of the [[galaxy|galaxies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. The galaxy is accessed from a dome called the [[Kitchen (Super Mario Galaxy)|Kitchen]]. The largest planet in this galaxy is a beach area filled with [[Penguin]]s, called a "penguin paradise". The name is a pun on "beach ball". This galaxy is one of the only three major galaxies to not feature a boss battle; the other two being the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]] and [[Sea Slide Galaxy]]. [[:File:SMG Concept Art 11.png|Concept art for the game]] displays Beach Bowl combined with [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], with the Beach Bowl in the middle instead of the middle island found in Sea Slide.


The '''Beach Bowl Galaxy''' is one of the [[galaxy|galaxies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. The galaxy is accessed from a dome called the [[Kitchen (Super Mario Galaxy)|Kitchen]]. The largest planet in this galaxy is a beach area filled with [[Penguin]]s. Its tropical setting is similar to many levels in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.
This is the only [[galaxy]] where it is possible to get the three main [[Power Star]]s out of order. If the player gets the secret Star, Wall Jumping Up Waterfalls, during the second mission, upon reselecting the hidden Star, the third mission will play out even if the second star has not been collected.

Beach Bowl Galaxy is considered to be a "penguin paradise". This planet is shaped like a bowl (as the name of the galaxy implies). It is divided into 2 sides: the first, mostly underwater, has a few floating islands and some underwater ruins. The other side has a shallow pool in the middle ringed with grassy knolls. The dividing line between the 2 sides is a steep mountain with a waterfall falling out onto the first side. There is also an underground cave that opens up into the second side of the planet which shelters [[Swooper]]s and [[Goomba]]s. The planet is home to some penguin swimming school students and their teacher, as well as some sea life ([[Urchin]]s and [[Gringill]]s). In the back there is an area with a few [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Wiggler]]s, and some Music Notes in the first Mission. There is also a Secret Underground Cave, reached by launching a [[Koopa Shell]] into a cracked wall.

This planet is reached when a treasure chest is opened on the far side of the starting planet (using a Koopa Shell) and using the [[Launch Star]] that appears. It is filled with numerous waterfalls that can be wall-jumped upon using an [[Ice Flower]]. There are 2 [[Cataquack]]s on this planet, which are used in order to obtain a [[? Coin]], which makes the previously stated Ice Flower appear. In an early image of the game, this planet can be seen in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]].

At the top of the Twin Fall Lake Planet, the design is similar to the Heavenly Beach Planet, but with an icy design. It is reached when finding a Launch Star while wall-jumping of the waterfalls of the Twin Fall Lake Planet. There is a giant body of water in the bowl filled with tiny icebergs. At the beginning of the planet, there is an Ice Flower encased in a crystal. It is used to transform into the [[Ice Mario (Super Mario Galaxy)|Ice form]], and skate across the water and reach the icebergs. There is also a Cataquack, which can be used to obtain [[Coin]]s, [[Star Bit]]s, and even a [[Power Star]].

A rather unusual planet for this galaxy, reached when finding a Launch Star in the Secret Underground Cavern of the starting planet. The planet itself is a twisted stone path filled with [[Thwomp]]s and [[Tox Box]]es. In the center is a large path of rushing water, leading into a [[Black Hole]]. The end is graced with a [[Power Star]] encased in a crystal. When a [[Prankster Comet]] is in orbit, the enemies move twice as fast. In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the [[Stone Cyclone Galaxy]] is the exact same planet, only that the enemies move four times as fast.

The swim students are distracted by the 5 [[Star Chip]]s under the water. [[Mario]] needs to collect all of them. The resulting [[Launch Star]] blasts Mario to the upper part of the main planet. The player will have to [[Ground Pound]] the red switch to activate some platforms, and Mario will have to quickly backflip and [[Spin]] onto the platforms to reach the top of the planet. The player needs to Ground Pound the red switch here to activate some timed walls that Mario can use to [[Wall Jump]] to the [[Power Star]]. Instead of Ground Pounding first on the red switches, he can backflip and Spin.

To enter the undersea cavern, the player needs to simply dive underwater, grab a Koopa Shell, and toss it at the breakable blocks in the wall that lines the ocean. Then the player has to swim through the tunnel to reach the land on the other side and Mario needs to break the crates in the fence and the crates on the other side to reveal a Launch Star. The Launch Star will send Mario flying to an area called the Cyclone Stone. The Cyclone Stone is a long stone path filled with [[Tox Box]]es and [[Thwomp]]s. Mario must dodge all enemies to reach the end of the path, where the [[Power Star]] awaits. In a pre-release version of the game, this star is known as ''Keepers of the Sky Gauntlet''.

This hidden Power Star is accessible from both ''The Secret Undersea Cavern'' and ''Passing the Swim Test''. The player will have to grab a Koopa Shell and break the chest located to the right of the waterfall (when facing the main landmass), revealing a Launch Star. Mario will land on a planet with many waterfalls, a ? Coin floating high in the air, and a [[Cataquack]]. The player needs to lure a Cataquack under the ? Coin to collect it, which will make an [[Ice Flower]] appear. The ? Coin can also be reached with [[Luigi]]'s [[Triple Jump]]. After obtaining the item, [[Mario]] has to wall kick up waterfalls. The Power Star floats high above an isolated snowy island, and another small island contains a Cataquack. Mario must grab the Ice Flower, head to the Cataquack's island, and then create an icy bridge to allow the Cataquack to reach the island with the [[Power Star]]. However, the icicles moving in the water may break the icy bridge, costing the player some time. The Cataquack will then launch Mario at the [[Power Star]], completing the mission.

—Penguin, Super Mario Galaxy

The Beach Bowl Galaxy is one of the galaxies in Super Mario Galaxy. The galaxy is accessed from a dome called the Kitchen. The largest planet in this galaxy is a beach area filled with Penguins, called a "penguin paradise". The name is a pun on "beach ball". This galaxy is one of the only three major galaxies to not feature a boss battle; the other two being the Dusty Dune Galaxy and Sea Slide Galaxy. Concept art for the game displays Beach Bowl combined with Sea Slide Galaxy, with the Beach Bowl in the middle instead of the middle island found in Sea Slide.

This is the only galaxy where it is possible to get the three main Power Stars out of order. If the player gets the secret Star, Wall Jumping Up Waterfalls, during the second mission, upon reselecting the hidden Star, the third mission will play out even if the second star has not been collected.

Planets[edit]

Heavenly Beach Planet[edit]

Aerial view of the Beach Bowl's Heavenly Beach Planet.

The Heavenly Beach Planet[1] is shaped like a bowl (as the name of the galaxy implies). It is divided into two sides: the first, mostly underwater, has a few floating islands and some underwater ruins. The other side has a shallow pool in the middle ringed with grassy knolls. The dividing line between the two sides is a steep mountain with a waterfall falling out onto the first side. There is also an underground cave that opens up into the second side of the planet which shelters bats and Goombas. The planet is home to some penguin swimming school students and their teacher, as well as some sea life (Urchins and Gringills). In the back there is an area with a few Piranha Plants, Wigglers, and some Music Notes in the first Mission. There is also a Secret Underground Cave, reached by launching a Koopa Shell into a cracked wall.

Twin Fall Lake Planet[edit]

Ice Mario ice skates on the Beach Bowl Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy.
The icy portion of the Twin Fall Lake Planet.
The Twin Fall Lake Planet.

The Twin Fall Lake Planet[2] is reached when a treasure chest is opened on the far side of the starting planet (using a Koopa Shell) and using the Launch Star that appears. It is filled with numerous waterfalls that can be wall-jumped upon using an Ice Flower. There are two Cataquacks on this planet, which are used in order to obtain a ? Coin, which makes the previously stated Ice Flower appear. In an early image of the game, this planet can be seen in the Gusty Garden Galaxy.

At the top of the Twin Fall Lake Planet, the design is similar to the Heavenly Beach Planet, but with an icy design. It is reached when finding a Launch Star while wall-jumping of the waterfalls of the Twin Fall Lake Planet. There is a giant body of water in the bowl filled with tiny icebergs. At the beginning of the planet, there is an Ice Flower encased in a crystal. It is used to transform into the Ice form, and skate across the water and reach the icebergs. There is also a Cataquack, which can be used to obtain Coins, Star Bits, and even a Power Star.

The Cyclone Stone[edit]

The Stone Cyclone in the Beach Bowl Galaxy
A portion of the galaxy known as the Cyclone Stone.

The Cyclone Stone is reached when finding a Launch Star in the Secret Underground Cavern of the Heavenly Beach Planet. The planet itself is shaped like a gauntlet, and features a twisted stone path filled with Thwomps and Tox Boxes. In the center is a large path of rushing water, leading into a black hole. The end contains a Power Star encased in a crystal. When a Prankster Comet is in orbit, the enemies move twice as fast. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Stone Cyclone Galaxy uses this planet, only that the enemies move four times as fast and the last Thwomp is absent.
