Ray surfing
- “Are you a surfer too? Oh, but this is your first time ray surfing, right? Well then, let me show you the ropes.”
- —Coach , Super Mario Galaxy
Ray surfing is one of two minigames in Super Mario Galaxy , the other one being Bob-omb Blasting. Ray surfing appears in two galaxies: the Loopdeeloop Galaxy and Loopdeeswoop Galaxy. In the Loopdeeloop Galaxy, the player is taught how to ray-surf by Coach. To do so, the player must surf on Ray, using him as a surfboard to traverse a course made up of water. The player must point Wii Remote at the screen and twist it to the left or the right to go in said directions. A Button is used to accelerate, and flicking Wii Remote allows Mario (or Luigi) and Ray to jump. Turning too much makes Ray fall off the stage, resulting in Mario losing a life. After he collects the galaxy's Power Star, Mario is considered a champion surfer.
