Super Mario Galaxy 2
Wii Cameos
Classic 3D Stages
Several of the levels in Super Mario Galaxy 2 are remakes of levels from other 3D Mario games. Notably, the ones that show up in World S are some of the most challenging stages from their respective games.
Throwback Galaxy
The Throwback Galaxy in World 6 is a recreation of Whomp's Fortress from Super Mario 64.
The music is a remix of the "Bob-omb Battlefield" music (that also played in the original Whomp's Fortress), and Pink Bob-ombs appear to give you advice. After clearing the first Star, a Pink Bob-omb will appear on Starship Mario.
Mario Squared Galaxy
The Special World level, Mario Squared Galaxy, is loosely based on the "Mario Meets Mario" Star from the Toy Time Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy.
The stage is set on a giant 8-bit sprite of little Mario from Super Mario Bros. (NES).
As in Super Mario Galaxy, when you return for the Comet challenge, you play on the reverse of the planet: a sprite of little Luigi.
Twisty Trials Galaxy
The Special World level, Twisty Trials Galaxy, is a recreation of the "Secret" Shine stage from Ricco Harbor in Super Mario Sunshine.
The background is made up of classic Super Mario Bros. sprites.
Stone Cyclone Galaxy
The Special World level, Stone Cyclone Galaxy, is a recreation of the same stage from Super Mario Galaxy.

Rolling Coaster Galaxy
The Special World level, Rolling Coaster Galaxy, has been designed using rainbow coloured tiles reminiscent of Rainbow Road in Super Mario Kart.
The first Star chapter is called "The Rainbow Road Roll" and the Purple Comet Star chapter is called "Rainbow Road Purple Coins".

Music Notes
When you activate the rainbow colored musical notes, quickly collect them all before they disappear. There are three tunes that play as you collect them:
- Scale of notes from low-to-high
- Super Mario Bros. Underground theme
- Super Mario World Stage/Bonus theme
