Super Mario Galaxy 2 Cheats

If you see Luigi at the beginning of a galaxy make Player 2 point to him and then press A. When Player 2 now spins Luigi will give out Star Bits.

When you know you are definately going to die (wherever you are) you can save yourself by pressing the + button on the remote and going back to the World Map or Starship Mario. This does not work when you are in the process of dying and you have more of a chance of this glitch working if you have 0 remaining lives. Unless you have passed a nearby Bowser Flag it is advised to only do this under extreme circumstances. One of the best times to save yourself is when your life circle is blinking rapidly with a '1' and you are on a very hard to beat level.

Just like in the first Super Mario Galaxy game if you collect 9999 Star Bits ALL the coconuts will turn into watermelons.

When you have collected 9,999 coins ALL the Luigi ghosts will become unlocked and you won't have to complete each level with Luigi.

The following items become available when you deposit the indicated amount of Star Bits with the toad at the bank.
Unlock Glasses:
Depoit 1,000 Star Bits.
Unlock Spear and Shield:
Depoit 2,000 Star Bits
Unlock Pickaxe:
Depoit 4,000 Star Bits.

When you have burnt the goombla statue fly to the next planet and grab the fireflower. Then walk straight through the way that is marked and burn down the second snow tree. When you do this you will see a pipe with a monkey inside that will challenge you. When you complete the challenge you will win a star.

Check out the video below to see how you can get 99 extra lives in less than 2 minutes in Supermassive Galaxy which is the first galaxy of World 4.

To do this jump holding A but before you finish Fluttering and while still holding A press Z and quickly release A and press A again. Then Rinse and repeat the procedure as many times as desired.

Collect the indicated amount of stars to mark that saved game profile with the corresponding icon.
Silver Crown Icon:
Collect 120 stars.
Gold Crown Icon:
Collect 240 stars.
Platinum and Jewel Crown Icon
Collect 242 stars and become the 'Master of Galaxies'.

Perform the following cheat with 2 players to get 99 lives. Go to SuperMassive Galaxy in World 4 and continue until you reach the 3 giant koopas walking around in a circle. Take the Spin Drill and kill two of the kooplas. Then have player 2 hold the last remaining koopla while player one runs and jumps on the kooplas back from behind. Use the Wiimote to stay on the kooplas back so you don't jump off and you will start getting 1 ups until you reach 99 lives. Unfortunately when you switch off the game you will not retain your lives and the cheat must be performed again to get them back.

When you have collected 120 gold stars and 120 green stars the Grandmaster Galaxy in World S will become unlocked. This is a 2D level with a Comet Medal and a one star to collect.

On controller two press Up, Down, Left, or Right to make sound effects on player one's Wiimote. Press Minus, Plus, 1, and 2 on controller one to make sound effects on player two's Wiimote.

When you have collected the final star in The Grandmaster Galaxy (The Perfect Run) you will be able to see the number of deaths you accumulated on your saved game file.

When you have grabbed 15 comet coins the prankster comets will start appearing in some of the levels you have previously played. The more comet coins you get, the more prankster comets will appear.

Luigi becomes a playable character wehen you defeat Bowser at Bowser's Galaxy Generator for the first time. When you have done this check the Mail Toad for a message from him. Then search for and enter the L on the Spaceship to become Luigi.

When you have completed World 6, World S will be available after the ending sequence.

When battling the Boomerang Bros. press Z to crouch so you avoid their boomerangs. Then staying crouched walk over to them and spin to kill them.
