The Flipswitch Chain is the hidden sixth mission of the Toy Time Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy and its Nintendo Switch port. This mission is accessed through the Mario Meets Mario mission.

Layout[edit ]

The player should begin "Mario Meets Mario" as normal until they reach the screw planet with the Star Chips. Instead of collecting the Star Chips, the player should gather at least 50 Star Bits and talk to the Hungry Luma. After feeding it the Star Bits, the Hungry Luma will transform into a new chain of planets with many Flipswitch Panels, Tox Boxes and moving, spiked platforms. After flipping all fifteen switches to the yellow "on" position, the Power Star will appear on an orange cube under the planets.
