Super Mario Galaxy 2.5 (originally Super Mario Galaxy: Universal Quest) is the second sequel to Super Mario Galaxy, made by EEA Inc. and Tricom for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo VR. The game will release after Super Mario Galaxy 2 in 2011, celebrating Mario's 25th anniversary. The game will include all-new gameplay including both Mario and Luigi collecting Power Stars at the same time as well as new galaxies, bosses, enemies, and more.
After co-developer Tricom merged with Niobium Moon Studios, an HD remaster titled Super Mario Galaxy 2.5: Definitive Edition was developed for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo VRCD, releasing in 2024.
Storyline
A month after defeating their nemesis, Bowser, Mario and Luigi are sleeping in their house, when Mailtoad comes to his door with a letter reading: Dear Mario, We will be be passing over your world in the Starship. The Lumas and I will meet you in the town square. - Lubba. Happy to see that their old friend was back, Mario and Luigi start off to Peach's Castle. On the way, they stumble upon Mario's hat, the one that he lost during the departing Baby Luma. Picking it up, Mario finds Baby Luma inside with a new letter. This time, with different handwriting. Dear Mario, There is a HUGE problem where I am right now, which I don't have a clue. Anyway, that monster that you battled is back, and bigger than ever! HELP! -Lubba. Mario and Luigi thought for a moment, and then with Baby Luma in tow, headed to Peach's Castle. Arriving, the bros. found Bowser, looming over them, and suddenly discovered that the first letter was a trick. Bowser grabs Princess Peach and flies into the galaxy. Mario, Luigi, and Baby Luma seek help from a couple Lumas, that blast them into space. Mario finds himself reunited with Lubba and sets out to save Princess Peach, meeting many new and old friends along the way.
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
After adventuring a long way, the Mario Bros. finally find and defeat Tara Bowser. However, just as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Lubba are about to return to the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser returning and the crew must fight him on the Starship Mario. But after defeat, Bowser destroys the Starship out of anger and sends Mario, Luigi, Peach, and all the other passengers into a black hole. The Toad Brigade escapes on the Starshroom with Lubba. Mario soon wakes up to find that the Lumas and Rosalina had saved him. All of Mario's new friends from space join him in a party with a giant cake, presented by Princess Peach herself. All the bosses, even Bowser and the Koopalings. Once all the Power Stars are collected, it is revealed that the Toad Brigade stuck in outer space with Lubba. Lubba agrees to help them get back to Mushroom Kingdom, starting at World 9 with the new Starship Toad. From their, Blue Toad and Yellow Toad collect Power Star with help from the other members of the Toad Brigade. When they get back, they find that Bowser ate the last piece and cake, and a battle occurs. Soon, Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad could travel to World 10.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
Gameplay
Although the game isn't a redone version of Super Mario Galaxy 2 a lot of the gameplay from the second game is used. The Comet Observatory does not appear and the Starship Mario returns from Super Mario Galaxy 2 (although slightly redesigned) as well as a map of the universes (previously called worlds). Power-ups like the Spin Drill and Yoshi also return in the game, as well as a bunch of new ones, such as the Robo Flower, Shark Mushroom, and Sand Mushroom. Like the last two games, Mario must travel though galaxies and collect Power Stars. The game includes a unique new mode, where both Mario and Luigi can play at the same time and help each other retrieve Power Stars. Up to four players can play, since both Mario and Luigi have Co-Star Lumas, which can retrieve items for them. Once the player finishes the game with all 170 Stars, Blue Toad and Yellow Toad are unlocked. The Nintendo VR version is still the same game, just with virtual reality controls, including moving arms to walk, spin, and jump. The Wii version is just like the first two games.
The Switch version of the Definitive Edition uses similar controls to the original Wii version, but includes the additional control schemes of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars version of Galaxy 1. The VRCD version, meanwhile, is rebuilt to be more of a true VR experience, being a first-person game where you can still use arm motions like the original Nintendo VR version, but using Switch Joy-Cons or Nintendo GameCube 2 Remote and Nunchuck Controllers is recommended. The player can also choose to swap to the more standard third-person view of the other versions of the game, and vice versa, at any time.
