In the case of artificial platforms and starships like Rosalina's Comet Observatory, it is possible that the Artificial Gravity accomodates to Mario's personal sense of gravity, but the miniature planets (both regular whole ones and the crumbling shells with quantum singularities at their centers) are less justifiable. All Gravity Is the Same: The gravity of the various planets, planetoids and other structures in no way affect how Mario (or Luigi if you're playing as him) moves.Alas, Poor Villain: When you defeat Bowser in the final battle, he reappears in a cut scene on a collapsing planet and grieves over that his galactic empire is falling apart while a sadder version of his Leitmotif is playing in the background.
Later on, he has to get to the top of a rocky spire as it sinks into the lava in the Melty Molten Galaxy.
Bob-ombs can also be found in this inanimate state from the start, and those ones light when picked up. Bob-ombs as usual, though they lose their legs when attacked and become throwable inanimate bombs.Accordion to Most Sailors: While there is no sailing in Beach Bowl Galaxy or Sea Slide Galaxy, this trope is invoked by their shared Palmtree Panic beach setting combined with an accordion in the area's music.Power-ups return to this series, two of which are from the original game that started it all. There are additional gameplay elements utilizing the Wii Remote, such as spinning to attack enemies and jump higher. In this game, Mario flies around from planet to planet with the help of Rosalina and the Lumas to retrieve Power Stars. Released in 2007, Super Mario Galaxy is a Platformer for Nintendo's Wii with gameplay similar to Super Mario 64, though unlike Super Mario 64 and Sunshine, the gameplay is noticeably more linear with less focus on exploration. Mario must retrieve all the stars for Rosalina so the Comet Observatory can venture to the center of the universe where Bowser awaits. After taking Mario to her Comet Observatory, she explains that Bowser has stolen all power from the Comet Observatory to fuel his army and create a new kingdom for himself. The attack launches Mario into space and he awakens on a strange small planet, where he meets Rosalina, a person that protects the cosmos and living star-shaped creatures called the Lumas. Mario is on his way to visit Princess Peach so that they can observe a comet streaking past the Mushroom Kingdom together, but suddenly, Bowser returns once again to kidnap Princess Peach.
