'''Super Mario Galaxy 2''' is a 3-D ''[[Portal: Mario Brothers|Super Mario]]'' adventure game released for the [[Wii]] in 2010. It acts as a sequel to ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

=Story=

While on his way to see the Star Festival with [[Princess Peach]] at the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Mario]] meets a young [[Luma]] that enters his hat and gives him new spin powers. However, [[Bowser]] then attacks in the form of a giant that he obtained form the power of the stars, once more absconding with Peach into outer space. Mario sets off in pursuit and winds up traveling across the universe on the [[Starship Mario]], which is actually a small planetoid which a Luma named [[Lubba]] alters to resemble Mario's head.

=Gameplay=

The gameplay builds upon the gameplay from the previous game in that [[Mario]] is controlled in his journeys across various planetoids. This game's new hub world is the Starship Mario, which travels throughout the map of the seven "worlds" which each contain various galaxies, which hearkens back to the maps of classic ''Mario'' games. The galaxies also usually have less stars, although as the player collects Comet Medals, they can make [[Prankster Comet]]s appear for each individual galaxy.

Some of the power-ups that had been used in the first ''Super Mario Galaxy'' return, and new gameplay additions include [[Yoshi]], a [[Spin Drill]] item and two new Mario forms. Yoshi can use his tongue to swing, and different fruits can give him different powers such as inflation and a speed boost. [[Luigi]] can also be unlocked as an optional character who can be used instead of Mario. The game features higher difficulty, but this is balanced by the inclusion of the [[Rosalina]]-like Cosmic Guide, which is this game's version of the Super Guide tutorial that was originally used for ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.

=Legacy=

==Sequels==

The next ''Mario'' adventure game was ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], which mixed the gameplay of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' with elements of classic ''Mario'' games and was produced by the same team. The next mainstream 3-D ''Mario'' adventures on consoles would end up being 2013's ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and 2017's ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
