The player can read one by pressing {{button|gcn|b}}. Signs do not present tips on actions or progression, instead relaying [[mission|episode]]-specific information about the active [[level|stage]]. The details written on some signs changes depending on the active episode, such as the one in front of the [[Surf Cabana]] on [[Gelato Beach]]. [[F.L.U.D.D.#Squirt Nozzle|Spraying]] a sign sometimes expels a [[Blue Coin]]. | ||

Staked signs appear throughout ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and are read when the player presses {{button|wii|a}} | Staked signs appear throughout ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and are read when the player presses {{button|wii|a}}. Like prior appearances, nearly all signs are inanimate objects that the player choses to engage with. However, a few [[Boards (characters)|speaking board character]]s impose themselves in scenarios where the player character's controls are different from usual. For example, the first one, Bill Board, appears in the [[Rolling Green Galaxy]] where [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) can only traverse platforms on the [[Star Ball|Rolling Ball]]. | ||
As in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', signs lack secondary interactive elements, though one in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]] is written in [[Boo#Language|Booish]] and can only be read if the player character is in their [[Boo Mario|Boo form]]. The front of the house in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] is readable because the developers hid a sign within the model. | |||

Nearly all of the signboards in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' are presented as inanimate objects. The only character from the previous game to return is Bill Board. However, there are a few instances where simply being near a signboard causes a small dialogue box to appear above it, suggesting they are "calling out" to the player character. While their physical appearances are largely unchanged, signboards have more lines of text on the page nailed to their exterior than they did in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. | Nearly all of the signboards in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' are presented as inanimate objects.
