    Matter Splatter Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy has an inaccessible area where developers left a lot of interesting things out in space. It's unknown if these were beta assets or if the level used to be longer, but today we're heading out of bounds into deep space to take a closer look at this Super Mario Galaxy mystery!

    Maybe that Lone Magikoopa actually did carry out his duty, he was so efficient with his magic, he made that one area never actually exist in the first place and turned it into content the developers never felt like making

    Here in the dark void,
    Let's play a game,
    I'll show you how it's done,
    Here in the dark void,
    Float very still,
    This'll be so much fun,
    Mario smiled,
    That's what I'm after,
    The smile in his eyes,
    The sound of his laughter,
    Happy to listen,
    Happy to play,
    Happily watching him drift away,
    Happily waiting,
    Night after night,
    Inside this endless void,
    Counting the pixels,
    Floating alone,
    Without just a single noise,
    Happily waiting,
    Night after night,
    Is this how it works?
    Am I doing this right?
    Happy to float and,
    Happy to stay,
    Happily watching him drift away,
    You keep on casting magic,
    For people who don't care,
    People who don't care,
    About you,
    And still it takes you ages,
    To see that no one's there,
    See that no one's there,
    See that no one's there,
    Everyone's fought on without you,
    Finally something,
    Finally news,
    About the roll I should fill,
    SwankyBox found me,
    Out here in the void,
    With no Mario to kill,
    Was I a beta?
    Was I a tool?
    Was I japed again?
    Was I just a fool to have,
    Happily waited,
    Happily stayed,
    Happily watching them drift,
    Drift,
    Drift away...

    I like to think Matter Splatter Galaxy is the way it is due to how distant it is in the Mario Universe. It’s the final level in the game in terms on unlocking, on the outer reaches of the universe. In terms of space, it would be the oldest point chronologically in the game. It would also be the most mysterious as a result. Perhaps this place was one of the first areas to be inhabited by creatures in the Mario Universe. Over time however, the physics of the area began to fall apart, forcing the people of this galaxy to leave. Just a theory.

    • @arcticdino1650
      @arcticdino1650 3 роки тому +2

      I always thought it was connected to the ghost galaxy, as there is a secret star that has the same skybox. My idea is that some event happened to the planet, which caused it to dissolve and some region of near by space became full of the souls of those who died. The only problem with my theory would be distance, except 9 different galaxies plus Rosalina's observatory have Mario's planet as the background, which suggests they are the same. So maybe the ghost galaxies and Matter Splatter are connected.

    • @Albert_Pecanio
      @Albert_Pecanio 2 роки тому +1

      just a tiny correction: melty molten is actually the last in terms of dome unlocking, with 52 stars required whereas i believe matter splatter needed 48, but i agree that either way matter splatter is probably a better way to end the game

    There is something I would like to see you look at in Mario Galaxy as I have not been able to get fly hacks to work. I also posted this on the last video but it wasn't worded very well.
    So basically I was messing around in the first boss fight using the glitch to make it deactivated, and I saw a strange grassy planet in the distance. One viewer told me it was from the beta of Mario Galaxy, and I looked into it, and it definitely is. Like I said I don't have any editors for the game so I am unsure if anything resides there.
    If you want to see it I recorded a short video about it. This is on 3d all stars so I will try to use my WiiU to record it on the actual disc as soon as possible.

    • @FlowMH
      @FlowMH 3 роки тому

      Oh, yeah. Just checked out the one you posted on the 18th. One thing you need to make sure, though:
      Is the planet you start on in that star also visible from megaleg?
      If it isn't, then that means the planet you're looking at is the low-poly version of the original.
      The planet was originally grassy, so they likely didn't update the texture for the low-poly model after changing it.

      This is very likely to be the low-poly model (not just the texture, since the props on the planet differ) for that planet, which wasnt updated when they overhauled it to look metallic. This seems to already have been discovered roughly 9 years ago but still interesting nonetheless!

    Perhaps the magikoopa is not out there by mistake, but instead has entered a time of self exile so that if Mario were to kill the others, he could continue to be the arcane conduit for the ritual they all worked so hard to cast upon this galaxy. So long as he shall live, the spell will never be broken. The matter will continue to splatter. And he shall forever be the last magikoopa who broke this galaxy, now living alone as its sole resident and ruler.

    I know this isn't exactly related to the video, but can someone tell me if this glitch is known about or documented?
    I was playing the Mario 3d Allstars version of SMG, and I got all of the green stars in the game while I was out to casually 120 star the game, but when I did those starts on the Trial galaxies, the comets stopped appearing? Like, I had not gotten all of the stars from the comets yet and once I did the trial galaxies they stopped appearing. Is this a well known glitch, or am I just really unlucky?

      you need to start playing through more galaxies then. i presume that the last comet you completed was dusty dune's speedy comet, but in order to get new comets you need to beat bowser's dark matter plant and continue progressing through the game. if you don't see comets over old galaxies, then talk to the big purple luma (not lubba), and feed him some star bits.

    2:51 so what are those blue things in the background?

      Likely the blue springy things that aren't unloaded from the other area (4:35 probably one of these two spheres' areas),
      and can thus be seen through the skybox since they're essentially 2d images, causing them to Z-fight with the skybox's texture.
      The latter is probably more likely to be an emulation issue. Don't know if it can be seen on actual hardware.
