In the Nintendo Switch version of Super Mario Galaxy (but not Super Mario Galaxy 2), Mario and Luigi's right hands have been moved away and stored separately from their models for an unknown reason. It is theorized that this is somehow an attempt at optimization.

It's possible to crash both the Wii and Nintendo Switch releases of Super Mario Galaxy 2. By abusing the Infinite Flutter Jump glitch, it's possible to reach the Tall Trunk Galaxy slide with Yoshi. Attempting to enter the slide with Yoshi crashes the game.

Super Mario Galaxy contains a variety of placeholder text. The placeholder for the screen when Mario returns to the Comet Observatory is particularly humorous, appearing to explain the Spin ability while repeatedly getting interrupted. Below is a mock-up of it displayed in-game.

It's possible to crash any release of Super Mario Galaxy by doing a specific setup in Loopdeeswoop Galaxy. Launching into the sky with the help of a water slide will kill the player. Attempting to make the Manta Ray jump after it lands back in the water crashes the game.

Here's why this happens! In Gateway Galaxy, the mechanism responsible for pulling Mario back and forth through the crater hole functions via a set of invisible Warp Pads. These are the same Warp Pads that you may be familiar with on the Comet Observatory. A thread...π§΅

A glitch may occur in Super Mario Galaxy when played on a Nintendo Switch 2 whereby Mario will get stuck in freefall in the tunnel in Gateway Galaxy. The usual failsafe that would kill Mario for falling too long does not activate here, so Mario will tumble forever and never die.

In the Super Mario Galaxy games, the staff credits text is always loaded into RAM despite not being needed until the ending. While horribly inefficient, this is inadvertently heartwarming as the games appear to honor their creators by keeping them in memory at all times.

Kamek no longer tells Mario to "go to hell" in the Simplified Chinese script of the Switch version of Super Mario Galaxy 1+2. The Switch translation is more literal to the Japanese script, where Kamek tells Mario to roll on the ground instead.
