The Loopdeeloop Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, and is located within the Terrace. It is a [http://www.mariowiki.com/%3F_Block ? Block ] before it is unlocked. It will be unlocked after five Stars are collected. This galaxy is basically a long flow of water across the sky where Mario plays Manta Ray Surfing. It is inhabited by Penguins, most of whom cheer Mario on from the sidelines. This galaxy doesn't have any enemies at all.

Starting Planet
The Starting Planet consists of a small grassy platform with a few penguins on it followed by a short expanse of water surrounded by colorful rings. This is the first planet Mario lands on when he travels to this galaxy, and also where Coach will teach the player how to control the Manta Ray during Ray Surfing. At the end of the planet, there is a tunnel that will take Mario to the Loopdeeloop Planet.

Loopdeloop Planet
The Loopdeeloop Planet is a large planet made almost entirely of water with several coins floating in it and a few gates. It is the second planet visited by Mario in the level Surfing 101, which is the only level in the galaxy.

Once Mario completes his training on the Starting Planet, he must go to the actual arena where there is a possibility that he will fall off the sides. Mario must then race down the planet on top of Ray avoiding fish and getting the Coins and Star Bits. There are also numerous 1-Up Mushrooms and gates along the way. After passing the finish line Mario is automatically transported to the Prize Planet to claim victory.

Prize Planet
The Prize Planet is a large stone planet off to the side of the Starting Planet. It is accessed automatically as soon as Mario crosses the finish line on the Starting Planet and is the last planet in the galaxy. On one side of the planet there is a podium with three different levels labeled 1, 2 and 3. Under the number 1 on the tallest step, a carving of a Manta Ray (possibly Ray himself) shows that whoever stands on this position won the race.

Off to the other side of the planet, Coach is standing there and he congratulates Mario on achieving victory and then releases a Power Star which goes and settles on top of the center of the podium.

Terrace Planet
The Terrace Planets are three connected, small stone platforms floating close to the Loopdeeloop Planet. They have four Penguins standing on them who are cheering Mario on from the sidelines. They look exactly like the Prize Planet.

Surfing 101
Surfing 101 is the only level in this Galaxy, which Mario rides a Manta named Ray along the Loopdeeloop Galaxy to earn a Power Star. The course contains 3 1-Up Mushrooms in addition to 50 coins (including the training course coins). The player does not need to beat the best time, just survive the course. This level appears to be analogous to Blooper Surfing Safari in Super Mario Sunshine, in which Mario rides a Blooper in Ricco Harbor. If Mario manages to survive the race track and pass under the finish line, then the Coach will give the player a Power Star. At the beginning, there will be four penguins and Coach. Mario must walk up to Coach to start the race, he has the choice between taking a tutorial and starting the race immediately, the tutorial has many star bits and coins on it that Mario can collect. Going through a gate leads Mario to the real race. The first part of the race is pretty straight with almost no turns, five coins and a 1-up but then the turns start and Mario must work hard to maneuver through it all. After some very tight twists and turns, there is a giant drop which can cause Mario to be frightened and fly off but as long as the controller is held straight, nothing will happen. After a second drop like that, the finish line comes in sight after the sharpest turn so far and Mario will win the race. Coach will then bring Mario to a small platform with a score block and give him a Power Star (the gold medal for the race).
