8Much like its predecessor, ''Galaxy 2'''s soundtrack is also truly out of this world.

10For the first game, go [[AwesomeMusic/SuperMarioGalaxy here]].
11----
12* Keep in mind that this game had a full [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzjMUuWw9IE orchestra]].
13* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClAJnSFXw7o Even the title screen theme is fantastic, prepping you up for an adventure.]]
14* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-unK7vZX-0 This beautiful song]] that plays during the prologue which combines the Star Festival theme with the Gusty Garden Galaxy theme.
15* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QX7pZi4kD8 The]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WXWZPZStlo hub]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XElmZ3WgQsU music]]. Just like the Observatory, its theme grows as you collect more Grand Stars.
16* Some of the map themes also deserve a mention, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8lTfF9HFCU World 3]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JYKRJlVWSo World S]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKt0DkKZGY4 World 1]].
17* Both versions of the first level, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9D7EHI3GOM Sky]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ5c_-SkJY8 Station,]] carry an air of excitement and determination at the start of Mario's galactic journey to save Peach.
18* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pTg2JeNOQ4 Yoshi Star Galaxy]], a definite catchy melody reminiscent of the ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' games.
19* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQNLYrbadDg Flip-Swap Galaxy.]] A simple, tension-filled remix of the ''SMB'' Underground Theme that knows its place as background music and lets you focus on the action. On the other hand, there's the [[https://youtu.be/iXTNHOQ6w7A Beat Block Galaxy]] theme. While it's also a remix of the Underground theme, rather than staying in the background to let you focus on the action, this tune ''is'' the action: it appears in levels that change (such as gravity changing) according to the beat of the music. This has the effect of making the tune catchy.
20* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SlR_CHH4sw Fluffy Bluff Galaxy/Cloudy Court Galaxy]] is a beautiful piece, often said to be comparable to the first game's Gusty Garden Galaxy, and this game's equivalent. Certain fans firmly believe that it surpasses Gusty Garden Galaxy in awesomeness.
21* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egKHpB91qA4 Puzzle Plank Galaxy]]. It seems that Everything's Better With Fiddles.
22* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXyiEt99F7o Hightail Falls Galaxy]] remixes the Athletic theme from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''.
23* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHk9W9FQfL0 Cosmic Cove Galaxy]] puts in soothing melodies from instruments such as the harp, fitting for the underwater environment this track covers to make the Best Water Level EVER!
24* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNZsUatMVrU Wild Glide Galaxy]], a rather beautiful piece. And from later on, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaPOuncBBiA Fleet Glide Galaxy]]--an epic song for an equally frantic level.
25* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOeEQVbPp9Y Slider]] music, remixed from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', carries off the same fun, frantic feel of the original piece.
26* The theme to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWKLF50_rcc Haunty Halls/Boo Moon Galaxies]] takes the Haunted House Theme from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' and makes it even scarier and more awesome at the same time.
27* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABZInebUwn4 Starshine Beach Galaxy]], a tropical melody along the lines of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''.
28* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heRGLtavBA0 Space Storm Galaxy]], an incredibly foreboding tune fitting for a treacherous galaxy loaded with electric hazards and stormy skies.
29* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tjj_n_v-0Q Slipsand Galaxy]], a song perfect for the game's ShiftingSandLand.
30* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl681C1DPJM Throwback Galaxy]]. Best remix of the ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' main theme ''ever!''
31* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCbirQCmdYI Slimy Spring Galaxy's]] tune is simple, yet mysterious and calming. It gets a remix in ''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. edition'' as World 2's map theme.
32* Another, more ''epic'' remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSmZaSX4lQM Koopa's Road]].
33** And for the Bowser Jr. levels, who needs a remix when you have ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBIFhM5KGPg this]]?''
34** Both tracks pale in comparison to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBAHmDYZGTc the final level]], Bowser's Galaxy Generator, an epic final level track that captures the feeling of "all or nothing".
35* The music for the SpeedRun missions. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu95v4Tpqi8 Incredibly epic]]'', with the music being urgent and ominous enough to hurry you along to complete the missions...'''fast'''.
36* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vxLzHSfnxk The final boss theme]] is ''even better than the first game''. It made #2 on Klagmar's "Top ''50'' Final Boss Themes" for good reason.[[note]]Beaten only by "My Innermost Apocalypse" from ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac''.[[/note]] It's such a shame that [[LongSongShortScene you only get to hear it for at least 30 seconds]] due to Bowser being ''[[AntiClimaxBoss ridiculously easy]]''.
37* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gzb0xLVhkg Even the regular Bowser theme is spectacular,]] and like in the first game, it [[VariableMix adds in a chorus when Bowser is vulnerable]].
38* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acBZ878_3_I Gobblegut]] battle theme is epic and tense, perfect for a fight with a giant space dragon. In contrast, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azf9qVUF45Q Megahammer]] battle music is surprisingly catchy, as is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJahBW8J_dI the boss theme]] for the fights against Digga-Leg and the Whomp King.
39* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lam6H4kXeBw Squizzard]] battle theme is a tense desert-themed tune, but what's really notable is that it has a unique mix of the Fire Flower theme!
40* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhNdvIdpEoM The credits music.]] ''Hell yes.'' It packs in a majestic tune to hammer home the end of a journey worth taking to save the galaxy and Peach from Bowser's clutches. The ending boasts the same grand theme of the game now made glorious over your victory and swells to a triumphant end.
41* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K864kCubqkE The song that plays when you reach a star]]. Even after the most frustrating levels, this song manages to soothe and relax.
42* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8mmrDauZwY The Grand Star Music]]; after all the pain you have to endure against the bosses, especially if it's a tough one like Gobblegut, the fanfare is a great way to relieve any stress and anger and to signify your next great achievement in guiding Mario to saving Peach.
43* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XDwaa_GoOA Digga-Leg]] is a fun, frantic piece packing in tension to urge you to quickly think smart and attack faster against this boss; it also plays when you're facing King Whomp.
44* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX31GyA8s34 Glamdozer]], a funky remix of King Kaliente's battle theme.
45* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YaQKma_aE4 The Baby Luma and the Hat]]", a truly beautiful remix of Rosalina's theme from the first game.
46* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UYXABAC06s Melty Monster Galaxy]] sounds like you're preparing for war. Fitting, as this is one of the final levels before [[FinalBoss final Bowser battle]].
47* The final star, referred to as The Perfect Run, might be insanely difficult, but getting to hear Gusty Garden Galaxy, Good Egg Galaxy, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, and the observatory music from the first game once more makes it much more bearable!
