This is a fun cheat Nintendo has carried over from the original Mario Galaxy. However, if you can't be bothered to play through every galaxy, you can instead unlock all the ghosts by collecting 9,999 coins instead. To unlock all the ghosts, you would usually need to play through all the galaxies with Luigi. Those ghosts are more like recordings of the game's designers completing the galaxies. Luigi ghosts appear in galaxies for players to race against when you unlock them. Both the Gearmos at the teapot table will also give you 1-Ups when you chat with them. You can collect a 1-Up by walking into the transporter that takes Mario to the Starshroom. Rolling the Chance Cube on the starship might get you a 1-Up.

You can collect about six 1-Ups on Starship Mario every time you switch between Mario and Luigi. Thus, you can also collect up to 99 lifes by flying the starship on the galaxy map and then returning to the ship. When you've returned to the starship, all the 1-Ups will be there for you to collect again. Collect all the 1-Ups aboard the ship and fly onto the galaxy map. If you haven't unlocked Luigi, you can still stack up on 1-Ups aboard Starship Mario without him. Every time you enter that door to switch between Mario and Luigi, all the 1-Ups on the starship come back for you to collect again.

When you've unlocked Luigi (by checking the Mail Toad after beating Bowser at Galaxy Generator), collect the 1-Ups aboard Starship Mario and then enter the door on the startship with the L above it. This cheat is a little slower than the Koopa cheat, but you can still stack up loads of 1-Ups nonetheless. Get 99 Lifes Aboard Starship MarioĪlternatively, you can stack up the maximum 99 lifes aboard Starship Mario. After a few jumps, you'll start to rack up 1-Ups for each jump on the Koopa's shell. Hold the jump button to keep jumping on the back of the turtle's shell. Instead, do a long jump (by holding the Z button while running and jumping) onto the back of one of the turtle's shells.
