The Ghostly Galaxy is an area in the Wii video game Super Mario Galaxy. Mario will find this area in the Observatory's kitchen, and it can be accessed if he has 20 Power Stars in his possession, including the Grand Stars from the Gateway Galaxy, Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor, and Bowser's Star Reactor. As its name implies, this is the haunted location in the game, and thus features plenty of undead species and characters such as Boos and the dreadful Bouldergeist, the boss of the area.

SMG Hauntedhouse

Mario will venture through this level not only to search for power stars, but to also find his younger brother, who got trapped in there after getting kidnapped by a mysterious ghost. Once both brothers are reunited, Luigi will give Mario a Star, and the two will head back to the Comet Observatory. Mario will also come into possession of, for the first time, the Boo suit, which will ultimately turn him into a Boo. It is one of the few galaxies which has Boo mushrooms.

Levels[]

  • Luigi and the Haunted Mansion: Mario must navigate his way through the Galaxy's haunted mansion to find Luigi, imprisoned in there.
  • A Very Spooky Sprint: Mario and the Spooky Speedster race for the Power Star at the end of a spooky racetrack.
  • Beware of Bouldergeist: Mario makes his way to the gravestone area where Bouldergeist, who’s actually the one who abducted Mario’s younger brother, makes his lair.
  • Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run: Mario and Bouldergeist square off again, but there's a catch: Mario must not take damage!
  • Purple Coins in the Bone Pen: Mario hunts for purple coins in the Bone Pen near the raceway.
  • Matter Splatter Mansion: Mario explores a mansion whose matter can only be touched via Matter Splatter Bubbles!

Trivia[]

  • This Galaxy contains an allusion to the Luigi's Mansion franchise, but with a role reversal, as unlike the series, where Luigi must rescue Mario from King Boo, here, it's Mario who has to go to Luigi's rescue after he got taken hostage by Bouldergeist.
