Here, you can find the data for the Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 object database. This project aims to document all objects and classes that can be found in the two Galaxy games. This includes information about their setup, properties and occurrences in the games. The database can also be used in level editors, such as Whitehole Despaghettification.
Everybody can contribute to this project, just contact Aurum on the Luma's Workshop Discord server. That's where the majority of SMG1/2 modding and documentation takes place. However, please make sure that you've read the guideline that can be found in this document.

If you want to contribute, you have to set up a few things. You can find several tutorials regarding the setups of Python and PyQt5 on the internet if you're unsure. The required components are:
- Python 3.10 or newer.
- PyQt5, the Qt binding for Python. You can install it with pip:
pip install PyQt5. - [OPTIONAL] qdarkstyle, a dark mode theme. Install it using
pip install qdarkstyle.
- Always use the editor instead of editing the JSON files! The editor is easier to use, takes care of mistakes and regenerates the HTML pages.
- Don't mark a config as finished/complete! I still want to verify the information by looking into the game's code and files.
- There are some parameters that are only usable by specific objects, for example SunakazeKun's Obj_arg0. You can list any exclusive objects in a parameters "Exclusive" list.
- If you want to specify special values for a parameter, you can do that using the "Values" field. Each line corresponds to a different value.
- Game specific terms should be treated like names. Starbit or starbit becomes Star Bit, coins becomes Coins, ground pound becomes Ground Pound and so on.
- Keep the usage of rounded brackets at a minimum. Put this in square brackets instead. Also, keep naming objects like "Version A" or "Section B" at a minimum. Try to be precise.
- For Stage Parts, make sure to include the name of the stage in the object's descriptive name. Examples: "Rightside Down -- Intro Planet", "Rolling Coaster -- Star Ball Opener", "Battle Belt -- Land Urchin Planet", ...
