Many music tracks returning from Galaxy 1 & 2 are extended, including more sections of music and more/different instruments.

The galaxy opening music is instead the Mario Kart DS course opening music, but remade into high quality.

They are now transluccent and more white.

Ice Mario's snowflakes when walking on water have a new design and 6 varients.

Daisy is actually a tomboy in the game, wearing jeans and an orange tshirt.

Missions which need Star Bit Lumas to be unlocked, the star bit lumas can be fed from the galaxy select menu.

Different select screens for each worlds have similar music to the Second Game's worlds though.

The GUI for selecting a galaxy is that of the first Super Mario Galaxy, except in Starship Mario's Expansion Pack levels where it is in the Super Mario Galaxy 2 design.Comet Mission has to be played if a comet is there, but the comet mission can be played again if you ask the Purple Luma (Which appears at the start of every Comet Galaxy after the initial comet mission is completed). In some other galaxies, upon completing the first mission, the gateway to the second/third mission is opened. In the first few galaxies of the game these are made obvious with signs. The Mission Select Menu is removed: All missions start in the same area and split off to different paths.Black Holes in sky-background galaxies appear blue/lilac and black holes have several varient designs.There are minor changes within the game compared to the first two X/Y - Launch Fireball/Frostball/Star bits.The controls have been adjusted for the Switch's Joy-Cons: There is also a new bar called 'Durability' for Metal Mario.

The fly (Now called Energy) and air bar can be toggled to be attached to the life meter in the settings. A 4th life is added because of the huge difficulty step up. The gameplay is almost the same as the first 2 mario galaxies. Prototypes of the life meter design, Red = Mario/Peach, Green = Daisy/Luigi Wendy (Called Cutiepie in the game, Koopaling).Dixie Kong (Only in the Expansion Pack).Funky Kong (Only in the Expansion Pack).Cranky Kong (Only in the Expansion Pack).Diddy Kong (Only in the Expansion Pack).Coloured Yoshis (Multiplayer Only, in Green, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, White, Black, Dark Blue, Pink at random).Birdo (Unlocked after completing World 6).7.7 Cluster 7 (The Dining Room, Galaxy S in JP).
