==Story==
 
==Story==
−
At the beginning, [[Peach]] invited [[Mario]] to a ball, where Mario kindly accepts the invitation. As he goes, he explores and collects [[Star Bits]]. However, [[Bowser]] and his forces "barge" into the party, and they attack the ball. Meanwhile, Peach is waiting for Mario to come to her castle for a gift (which is a Luma), but Mario doesn't make it, as Bowser kidnaps Peach.  
+
It is the night of the {{smw|Star Festival}}, an event that occurs every 100 years where a comet passes over and drops stardust onto the world. {{smw|Princess Peach}} has invited {{smw|Mario}} to her castle to celebrate and give him a present. However, when Mario arrives, the castle and town come under attack from {{smw|Bowser}} and his {{smw|airship}}s, which, with the help of a UFO, rip the castle out of the ground and carry it off into space, heading toward the center of the universe. {{smw|Kamek}} knocks Mario off the castle and into space.
  
−
Mario tries to save her, but out of nowhere, a [[Magikoopa]] appears and blasts Mario out of the area and onto another planet. After Peach seeing this, she sends the Luma to Mario.
+
Mario wakes up on a {{smw|Gateway Galaxy|small planet}}, where he meets a group of {{smw|Luma}}s as well as their mother, {{smw|Rosalina}}. Rosalina explains that Bowser has stolen the {{smw|Power Star}}s that power her ship, the {{smw|Comet Obseratory}}, and that if Mario is able to retrieve them, she can take him to the center of the universe.
  
−
Mario then wakes up, in which he meets the Luma, and then he goes on his adventure to rescue Princess Peach.
+
==Gameplay==
 +
The gameplay of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' is similar to previous 3D ''Super Mario'' games. From the Comet Observatory, players can enter one of several domes, which allow access to a set of galaxies. Each galaxy features a set of missions to earn Power Stars, with the final galaxy in each dome being a boss galaxy where the player can earn a {{smw|Grand Star}}, allowing access to a new dome. Each galaxy also has a new type of mission known as a {{smw|Prankster Comet}}, in which the player must complete a given mission or existing objective with an added condition, such as having one hit point or being given a time limit. Each galaxy in a dome that is not the first requires a certain number of Power Stars to unlock. Most galaxies are composed of planetoids that Mario can move around, using {{smw|Launch Star}}s to travel between them.
  
−
==Gameplay==
+
Among the new moves available in this game is the {{smw|Spin}}, performed by shaking the [[Wii Remote]]. The move allows Mario to attack ground enemies and gives him extra jump height. The player is also given an on-screen cursor by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen and moving it, which can be used to pick up Star Bits and shoot them. Mario's life meter has also been decreased to only three units, which can be doubled using a {{smw|Life Mushroom}}.

The game features a cooperative multiplayer mode titled Co-Star Mode, which allows a second player to control another cursor. The second player can pick up and fire Star Bits, and when their cursor is lined up on Mario pressing A allows him to perform a {{smw|Co-Star Super Jump}}.
