Super Mario Galaxy is a 3D platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It is the third 3D platformer in the Mario series, after Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. A sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, was released in 2010. The game follows the protagonist, Mario, on a quest to rescue Princess Peach from the game's primary antagonist, Bowser. Levels are galaxies filled with minor planets and worlds, while gameplay is updated with gravity effects and new power-ups. Super Mario Galaxy was first shown at E3 2006 and enjoyed a high level of pre-release awareness. The game has been hailed by several gaming websites as one of the best video games of all time.

Emulation Information
Language Region Mismatch
Super Mario Galaxy might not start unless the Wii language setting is set to a value matching the region of the game. With Dolphin 5.0-10866 or newer, the language setting will automatically match the region of the game, and there is a new setting (Options > Configuration > General > Allow Mismatched Region Settings) used for optionally disabling this behavior. On older versions of Dolphin (or if Mismatched Region Settings is turned on), you may need to change the Wii language setting manually (Options > Configuration > Wii > System Language) and choose a compatible language by region:
- Japanese for NTSC-J (RMGJ01)
- English, Spanish, or French for NTSC-U (RMGE01)
- English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, or Dutch for PAL (RMGP01)
- Korean for NTSC-K (RMGK01)
Inverted Reflections
Certain materials that reflect Mario have inverted reflections, refer issue 3106. This issue actually also exists on real hardware, so it's not an emulator bug.
Wii Remote Lag When Collecting Starbits
Wii Remote slows down when collecting starbits. To remedy this, go to Dolphin Controller Configuration Window and disable (untick) Enable Speaker Data and this will mute the Wii Remote speaker, fixing the starbit slowdown problem. Seems like it might have something to do with the computer's Bluetooth dongle not granting enough bandwidth for the Wii Remote to receive the sounds and transmit controls at the same time. It's a problem bound to PC hardware and driver. This is fixed by using Bluetooth Passthrough.
Problems
Cosmic Mario/Luigi Holding a Shell
In Underwater Cosmic Mario/Luigi Race of Sea Slide Galaxy, the shell that Cosmic Mario/Luigi holds will have messed-up textures. To fix, uncheck 'Store EFB Copies to Texture Only'. See issue 9113.
Pictures on the Wii Message Board
When taking a photo in the Star Chart, 'Store EFB Copies to Texture only' must be disabled to allow the photo to be saved correctly and displayed on the Wii Message Board.
Boss Roars
Boss roar effects are not visible. See issue 8327.
Viewing the Sun
Viewing the sun will cause serious performance hits due to the way EFB is used. This was fixed in 5.0-9741 and 5.0-9735.
Enhancements
HD Texture Pack
Project was almost complete but now seems to be abandoned.
Bloom Effects
In the galaxy overview, Bloom effects are applied. These are not displayed correctly if a higher IR than 'Native (640x528)' is used. To display Bloom effects correctly, the improvement 'Scaled EFB copy' must be deactivated.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

For graphics Using dx9 rendering with 2 times native resolution 1xAF everything else at stock. For DSP using LLE recompiler which is needed for music not to cut out. Using dsound backend and 48000hz. LLE of thread gives big boost in speed but makes the game very unstable with constant freezing. In the game properties I have accurate VBeam Emulation check on gives a speed boost and Disable Wii Remote speaker is checked. | DJHeadshot |

Update: literally no music at all if not using LLE, which also reduces speed by 20-30%. Seriously. | Ac |
| 3.0-600 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.2GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 | Runs great. With DX9, DSP LLE on thread, EFB to Tex, 3X native res, and 1080p; I get 100% speed. | MayImilae |

Slight slowdowns in busy situations, and the boss motion blur effect is still missing, but otherwise perfect. Use LLE audio or the borked audio levels will detract from the experience. | monojin |

| 4.0-8120 | Windows 7 | AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3.7GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 | Almost perfect! The only small tiny issue I have detected was the missing motion blur effect during the roar shock wave which can be seen in boss fights e.g. Dino Piranha scream after the egg shell broke. Instead of the motion blur wave the screen just gets a bit darker. | Kenny |
| 5.0 | Windows 10 | Intel Pentium G3258 @ 4GHz | AMD Radeon RX 480 | DirectX 12 16GB RAM 1080p Have Fun, 60 FPS Constantly (Ishiiruka Dolphin) | Xbrox |
| 5.0 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i7-3770 @ 4GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 | It runs bloody perfect on this Build. With the new features of Dolphin 5.0 there are only two or three noticeable bugs left. I can play the game at constant full speed in 1080p without a problem. | DerFetteVonGamer |
| 5.0 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i5 4460 | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 | Runs perfectly on DX12, 60FPS 100% speed. Minor slowdowns during bosses/super intensive areas with DX11/OpenGL. | destersmek |
| 5.0 | macOS 10.12 | Intel Core i5 @ 2.7GHz | Intel Iris 6100 | Playable at 50-60% speed. Using default settings, whenever you are moving between the planets or the space is within camera's reach, FPS drops significantly. The sound is constantly stuttering. Having more than 5 starbits on screen leads to unbearable performance drops. | DevilDimon |
| 5.0 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i5-6200 @ 2.3GHz | Intel | Completely playable ONLY IF YOU TICK 'Skip EFB access from CPU', without ticking this you will get frequent and big frame drops, (See section above though, this options prevents you from selecting level so you have to toggle it on and off when playing). 60fps@720p DirectX12. Some times you get a very small frame drop and audio stutter but no biggie, reduce resolution to native if you are picky. | Myusername |
| 5.0 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i7-6700k @ 4.5GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | Runs at a smooth 1080p 60FPS on DX12 with 8x MSAA and High-resolution texturepack. The only problem I've seen is a crazy amount of lag from the screen distortion you get when you jump into icy-cold water. Other than that, the game runs and looks great, almost like an official remake of the game. | PokerulerPlayz |
| 5.0-10413 | Windows 10 | Intel Core i5-4670K @ 4.3GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 110FPS with Dual core, D3D12, 3x IR, 4x SSAA, 16x Anisoptropic filtering, HLE audio + Cubeb and EFB to texture only. Some visual issues (Same as wiki) but runs smoothly. Looking at the sun and jumping in icy-cold water don't cause massive lag anymore, though fps still dips a bit. | Miksel12 |

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a platforming video game developed by Nintendo for the Wii. It was first announced at E3 2009, and is the sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. It was released in North America on May 23, 2010. The game's levels are galaxies filled with minor planets and worlds. While its gameplay is based on that of its predecessor, the game was updated with gravity effects and new power-ups. It is the fourth original 3D platformer in the Mario series, after Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Problems
Boss Roars
Boss roar effects are not visible. See issue 8327.
Yoshi Not Eating Items In Direct3D 12 Mode
In D3D12 the red circle around edible items sometimes doesn't appear. Using a savestate and restarting the emulation fixes it temporarily. Fixed by the removal of the D3D12 backend in 5.0-3774.
Enhancements
HD Texture Pack
Bloom
Bloom effects do not render correctly with Internal Resolution (IR) > 1. Disable Scale EFB Copy to fix this.
Higher IR Effects Fog
Using IR > 1x causes fog to be rendered at inappropriate depths. Native internal resolution must be used to avoid this. This can be seen on the save select screen, the ship post the first level, and other areas. Refer issue 9712. Fixed by 5.0-5745, see the Oct 2017 Progress Report for details.

Only a minor graphic bug: the screen goes a bit darker in some scenes when a Boss get's pissed off and expels smoke through his nose or just get furious, but it gets back to normal right after. Here is a video showing the game running with the new HLE plugin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_3i9j7jiPo | Cole Roddy |
