Purple Comet (パープルコメット Pāpuru kometto?, Purple Comet) is a Prankster Comet that debuted in Super Mario Galaxy.

Description[]

Purple Comets are randomly found at any standard galaxy containing an applicable star - in this case, one that involves the collection of 100 Purple Coins. They only appear after beating Bowser's Galaxy Reactor. They hit the following galaxies:

  • Good Egg Galaxy (Purple Coin Omelet: Mario must grab 100 Purple Coins as he goes around the Pear, Rock, and Egg planets.)
  • Honeyhive Galaxy (The Honeyhive's Purple Coins: Mario must scour the Starting Planet for 100 Purple Coins.)
