Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 brings Mario’s two amazing platforming adventures to the Switch 2. This collection gives you the best way to experience both games, with updated graphics, a better soundtrack, a new user interface, extra Storybook Chapters, and a helpful Assist Mode. Although these games originally came out on the Wii – when games were smaller in size – they are still quite long. How long it takes to finish them depends on how much you try to complete everything. Here’s an estimate of how long it will take to beat Super Mario Galaxy 1 + Super Mario Galaxy 2.
How Long Does Super Mario Galaxy Take to Beat?
Completing Super Mario Galaxy by playing through the main story and collecting only the necessary Power Stars to progress will take roughly 12 to 14 hours. You’ll experience most of what Super Mario Galaxy offers with this approach, but you may not discover everything. For example, a hidden world is only accessible after you’ve collected all 120 Power Stars throughout the game.
If you’re aiming to fully complete Super Mario Galaxy, expect to spend around 30 to 40 hours. Like with any game completion time, how long it actually takes will depend on your gaming skills and whether you use a guide or walkthrough. These resources can help you find all the collectibles and solve tricky puzzles that you might spend hours trying to figure out on your own. If you’re familiar with other great 3D Mario games, you may find it a little easier.
How Long Does Super Mario Galaxy 2 Take to Beat?

Super Mario Galaxy 2 throws me right back into Mario’s awesome planet-hopping adventure, and honestly, it’ll probably take me around 13 to 21 hours to finish if I just beat the main story. The difference in playtime really depends on how much extra stuff I decide to do. If I just want to get through the game, 70 Power Stars are all I need, but if I’m a completionist and want to find *everything*, it’ll take a lot longer!
Similar to the original Super Mario Galaxy, finishing everything in Super Mario Galaxy 2 will take about 35 to 40 hours. You’ll need to collect a total of 242 Power Stars spread throughout the game’s six main worlds. Just like the first game, there’s also a hidden seventh world that unlocks with even more levels to play.
These times are for typical players, naturally. However, a speedrunner achieved a record of 2h 54m 51.33s in an “Any% with Bank run.”
