===Star World===
====Star World====
The Star World, as titled in the introductory "Welcome to the Star World!" message, was the demonstration galaxy created to show off ''Super Mario Galaxy'' for E3 2006. It was composed of many planets taken from other galaxies in the game. It was notably different from any galaxy in the final game in that it was composed of a "branching" path; choosing different routes on different planets could lead to different stars entirely. It is likely this was done for the demo specifically. It was also notable for its heavy use of asteroids instead of unique planets. The final game ended up using these asteroids only twice, as moons in two galaxies. The level compiled many different planets into the galaxy, most of which became planets in [[Good Egg Galaxy]], [[Space Junk Galaxy]], and [[Bowser Jr's Robot Reactor]].

The music that plays in this galaxy is known as "Egg Planet." It is the theme of Good Egg Galaxy in the final game, though it sounds noticeably different.

All three bosses did not release Star Bits when attacked, since there were only 100 Star Bits in the whole galaxy. However, no attendee to the show ever collected all of them, so their purpose remains unknown (they could not be fired at enemies as they are in the final game).

Following HomePlanet are two identical asteroid planets. The first one has star bits surrounding the entire planet while the second has star bits on one side of the planet. The player also lands on a star bit, where a Cosmic Toad explains how to collect the star bits. Multiple Goombas can be found on both planets. These planets also have some plants on them.

The first planet from [[Good Egg Galaxy]], named DiskGardenPlanet in the final version, is shown in a drastically different form here. Firstly, the planet's filename is instead "DiskFlowerPlanet". The house is more akin to a real life one, and a pine tree appears in this version as opposed to a more traditional ''Mario''-style tree in the final version. There is also different placements for the patches of grass and dirt, with there being 4 patches instead of 2.

The bridges leading to the other side of the planet are also slightly altered. The left side has a slightly different design, and arrows pointing to the player which direction they have to go. The right side also does this. The right bridge also has a different color for the floor, and the sides of the bridge are now red instead of black. The planet also looks slightly more decayed on the darker side compared to the final version, especially around the tower. The trees also have a different shape and texture and look more decayed as well.

[[File:E32006SpaceJunkZone.png|200px||left|thumb|G Capture Tutorial Zone]]
This section is used in most missions in Space Junk Galaxy, and is almost identical to the final version. Like the final version, going down took the player to the Glass Maze Planet, and leads to Tarantox. However, heading up led the player to a small relay planet, which took the player across several planets leading to Megaleg.

[[File:E32006TropicalPlanets.png|thumb|left|Mario on the first Tropical Planet. Note the Sling Star on the second planet.]]
These two Tropical Planets are taken from King Kaliente's Battle Fleet, which is the 3rd mission in Good Egg Galaxy. The position of the planets were different to the final. Mario also landed on a different spot on the planet. More coconuts and crates are present on the first planet compared to the final. Another change is that the palm tree on the first planet was slightly bigger, and sprouted larger leaves. Also, no thorny flowers or crystals were present here. Instead of having to break a thorny flower to activate a Sling Star which takes the player to the next planet, the Sling Star is already activated. The second planet remains mostly the same, however there is a Sling Star on the bottom of this planet for an unknown reason. Defeating the Big Pokey still takes the player to the Asteroid Planet, but they use a Sling Star before using the Launch Star. There is also a different flight and camera sequence.

=====Asteroid Planet=====
[[File:E32006AsteroidPlanet.png|150px|thumb|left|The Asteroid Planet]]
This planet remains identical to the final version design-wise. However, almost no videos released of the demo show the player attempting to explore the planet. There are no Chomps and there is no pipe on the bottom side. Instead there are Slurples and a few plants on this version of the planet. Another change is that rocks surround this and the Chomp Saucer Planet.

[[File:Chomps Planet SMG early.png|250px|thumb|right|An early version of the Chomp Saucer Planet]]
This planet only received minor changes. In the E3 version, the player does not land in the center of the planet. The planet's rocks, lasers and Goombas are placed in different spots as well. The bottom stone slab of the staircase is missing, and there are 3 steps on a tiny staircase instead of 2 in the final. The amps are also missing. The crystal usually present on the very top of the planet is not there as well. Along with the Asteroid Planet before it, multiple space rocks surround the planet, unlike the final version.

[[File:E32006Airships.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario about to land on the Airships]]
When landing on the airships in this version, the music stays the same, instead of playing "Tension". The Airships also have a slightly different design. There is also an inaccessible door on the right side, where a wooden platform and 3 crates are placed. The Toad is also not trapped in a crystal unlike the final. The barrels where the Roctos stand on, as well as the bridge, also have a different design. The black hole is closer to the airships in this version compared to the final. On the second airship, the stairs are wider, the extension which contains a life mushroom is not there, there is one set of stairs instead of multiple, the airship is taller, there are only two Octoombas while there are four in the final, and there is a Sling Star instead of a Launch Star leading to King Kaliente's Planet. The Sling Star also has a really fast animation when taking Mario to King Kaliente's Planet.

Apart from the fight itself, this planet remains mostly the same aside from the Luma and Star Bit crystals not being present. The top side of the planet also seems to look slightly darker than the final version.

"PeanutPlanet" as it is known in the files was an early version of the Boulder Planet in Good Egg Galaxy, but without the Star Chips and mud, along with a different color for the planet itself. The player had to simply navigate around a few boulders to reach the end of the planet, with a coin trail leading to the Launch Star. The Boulders would break upon running into them, and spinning into them would destroy them as well. The boulders also do not have a weak spot in this version.

This planet is the starting planet from [[Bowser Jr's Robot Reactor]]. However, it is grassy, as opposed to metallic. It has a design similar to the second planet in Gateway Galaxy, except bigger. A minor glitch in the released game causes the grassy version of this planet to appear if players stand on top of Megaleg and look at the metallic version. This is caused by an incorrectly set-up culling method. When the planet was redesigned, its low-poly model was not.

This planet is taken from Tarantox's Tangled Web in Space Junk Galaxy. Most of this planet remains the same, however there seemed to be less enemies and there is a Star Bunny that would lead the player through the maze and to the star, instead of the player finding their way all on their own. A signboard from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' was on the planet's outer shell and read "Crystal Maze".<ref>BlueOtti. October 6, 2006. [https://youtu.be/9HuSx0Pfuso?t=107 Super Mario Galaxy].
