Top 10 Hardest Super Mario Galaxy Levels

The Top Ten
1 The Perfect Run - Grandmaster Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2

I'm glad this star didn't get as much "I beat this with my first try" / "This is super easy" / "Good Egg Galaxy should be higher on this list" comments as other stars that are actually hard, because all the stars on this list are really hard. All the people that say some of the previous stuff are either trolls or are lying. Well, maybe some are not lying, but if you take that nearly or more than 50% of the comments says that stuff, I'm pretty sure some are lying about that.
Anyways, this star deserves to be number 1 obviously, it is so hard to complete the level even when playing the normal level. It's nearly impossible, it's that hard.

2 Lava Spire Daredevil Run - Melty Molten Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

Before I played this level for the first time in YEARS, I watched a bunch of hardest SMB stars. This star made all of the lists, so I was pretty scared for it. I ended up beating it on my first try, but I'm sure that was because of pure, dumb, luck.

Most daredevil comets just make you fight a boss with one life. This time, you have to complete an ENTIRE LEVEL without taking damage. This sucks because even if you die right in front of the star, you have to go all the way back to the beggining.

With everything up until the spire, be on top guard. Eliminate all does one at a time. With the spire, long jump often, give even a millisecond of attention to enemies and glass and star bits and question cubes never

3 Battlestation's Purple Coins - Dreadnought Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

This ones a little difficult find the purple coins of Battlerock Galaxy more frustrating. Just stay in the middle, give yourself room to jump for coins/over electric fences, and avoid getting hit by canons as they are pretty much insta death or could cause you to lose out on getting a coins which you need all 100 for.

Took me five tries, about. I got 96 when I accidentally missed one coin, and I had no idea there were coins on top of the smasher. Look out for that guy. Other than that, it isn't hard. Duck and the bombs go right over u

4 Luigi's Purple Coin Chaos - Mario Squared Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2

Is this seriously harder than fiery Gobblegut, boss blitz, fiery Dino piranha, boss blitz speed run, or even center of the universe/Bowsers Galaxy generator? I think not, but one vote won't change it

Why is this all the way up here? Something more like Boss Blitz speed run should be up here. Or the dreadnought garbage dump, or stone cyclone, or something actually hard

You've got to be kidding me! I two tried this, because I lost control of the nunchuck and fell. Then, I did the same strategy as before, and didn't slip

5 Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run - Ghostly Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

Funny fact. It took me about 3-4 times to beat him with 3 lives, but I won on the first try in the daredevil run.

I didn't have much trouble with this star. On my first time playing it, I beat it on my 4th to 5th try.

This is one of the hardest video game levels EVER. I spent 11 lives to finish it!

6 Luigi's Purple Coins - Toy Time Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

The timer is NOT an issue. And you have 150 coins to work with. Please get good at this star, I would like to stop seeing it on hard lists.

You need to be careful with where you step or you'll find yourself running out of places to stand. Also it's times.

How hard can it be? (That was not a question, nor a rhetorical one. I tried it and it is one of the easiest levels in the game)

7 Dreadnought's Garbage Dump - Dreadnought Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

Oh god don't get me started. Your stick is a tiny bit off the angle you need and it's already over, game over. This took me forever to beat.
Not to mention bombs take 10 seconds to blow up and you only have 30!

You have to throw your bombs on the gold spots on the floor. Hard, right? I only figured it out by watching someone else play it.

I think the issue is that the bombs take so long to detonate, and they never do it when you want them to.

8 Purple Coins in the Bone Pen - Ghostly Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

It is hard because you have one minute. There are 149 Purple Coins (Toad lied to us). You do not have to get all of them, but that doesn't make it any easier. With the strict time limit, you have very little (if any) room to mess up. To avoid a Game Over, you should try to make friends with the 1-UP's before going in the level, they also have extra life and 1-UP mushrooms, because it's THAT hard.

To be honest, to me, it isn't THAT hard. In my personal top 10, this one doesn't appear, all you gotta do is making sure you keep moving, no matter where you move to but keep moving and don't pull yourself to some mines or stuck in between those chicken bone looking things. That's what they remind me to.

9 Purple Coins On the Summit - Freezeflame Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

Let's do a game show. What is harder, fighting a 10x deadlier fiery version of Gobblegut, or collecting 100 measly purple coins? I say fiery Gobblegut! Get outta this spot, purple coins on the summit

Am I the only one that thinks this is very out of place? As well as the luigi purple coin levels?

10 Roller Coasters Purple Coins - Roller Coaster Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2

The only margin of error is 10 coins. Wow.

The Contenders
11 Throwback Throwdown Speed Run - Boss Blitz Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2

I was sweating over this one. Took me many tries. Fiery Dino piranha sure is a feisty one. And I was worried about bouldergeist... I worried about the wrong boss

How is this so low on the list? This is harder than most of the stuff above it, in my opinion this and lava spire should be swapped.

Why is this down here? Does no one else struggle with fiery Dino piranha?

12 Ghost Ship Daredevil Run - Deep Dark Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

I don't understand how people can think that Luigi's Purple Coins or the Lava Spire Daredevil run are THAT hard. I personally have a lot more trouble on this level.

The music of this galaxy is cool. The rest is not.

13 The Electric Labyrinth - Bubble Blast Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

I was totally annoyed of this level because of how many tries and GAME-OVERs it took me to get the PERFECT timing...

14 Purple Coins in the Desert - Dusty Dune Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

This is the worst level ever!
First, let's talk about the tornadoes. The tornadoes are basically there to annoy you and make you sink instead. Next off, playing the level as Luigi, Luigi is practically the worst character in the game, because his sliding can make stuff go hard. And when I play this level as luigi, 4 game overs. I am still trying to accomplish this level to this day, same as Luigi's Purple Coins

Okay, let me say something here. I hate this stupid level. Once I got 97 coins and I realized the other three were on top of the thwomp. So I made my way there with one life and I got so close. Then I just fall in the sand. The tornadoes are terrible. Dusty Dune is my least favorite level in the game. This is a true story. I HATE THIS SO MUCH!

15 Snacktime for Gobblegut - Battle Belt Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2

Fire+dragon+lava craters+six bubbles+6 lives= lots of chaos. I beat it, but it is hard! Why in the world does luigis purple coins or purple coins on the summit fall above this? Wait... This isn't even on the list? Does everyone else magically beat a hard boss like this first try? Well, I shouldn't complain. I do with bouldergeist. BOTH runs

I hate fiery bosses. It adds so much chaos and damage where there doesn't have to be, in my opinion. Took me forever to beat. I guess it is part of the game though

Least favorite level in game as a kid, more so than perfect run. Much better now but most people struggle for a few lives at least.

16 The Chimps Ultimate Skating Challenge - Super Mario Galaxy 2
17 Luigi on the Roof - Good Egg Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

To get to Luigi you have to triple jump! Or an even harder way is to side/backflip, wall jump off the wall and spin to get to the top of the house! Luckily I found an easier way which is using the orange pipe to get up! But even in there you have to go to the top of the pipe area and then go through another pipe! How is this not number one! The hardest part is when Luigi gives you the star. You have to jump (yes JUMP) to barely nab the star. Luigi's Purple Coins and Lava Spire Daredevil Run I did without dying once first try. I got all 150 of the coins on Luigi's Purple Coins and had 2:00 left.

Come on, guys! GET IT TOGETHER! UNDERSTAND THE TRUE DIFFICULT MASTERPIECE!

18 Burning Upside Dizzy - Upside Dizzy Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2

Why is this so low this one should be higher! This is like the trash stars from galaxy 1 but. harder You have 10 seconds less then the ones from galaxy 1 and more to destroy, plus FIRE FLOWER!

Hey Confederate robot, why don't you stop enslaving me to pick up your trash? 1 box left. Yet still too lazy to pick it up. I hate the robot in this one.

This is hard like the garbage dump but instead fire power up and these boxes and only 20 seconds! Why is there a time limit?!

19 C'mere Topman - Space Storm Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2
20 Bouncing Down Cake Lane - Toy Time Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

The boss isn't that hard. What's hard is controlling spring Mario

21 Dino Piranha Speed Run - Good Egg Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

Dino piranha is the easiest boss ever. Just run right by his side and spin, and u can beat him in practically beat him in ten seconds. Charge the beast that charges u, but swerve at the last second

That's okay, practice makes perfect.

22 The Fate Of The Universe - Bowser's Galaxy Reactor - Super Mario Galaxy
23 Through the Meteor Storm - Melty Molten Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy

The ending of the mission where you have to roll the ball is hard.

24 Purple Coins On the Puzzle Cube - Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy
25 The Chimps Score Challenge - Honeyhop Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2
