A '''gravity field'''<ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 51 and 300.</ref><ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 64, 66, 67, 198, and 231.</ref> is a special area that first appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It controls and indicates the direction of [[gravity]] inside.

In 2D sections, the back wall of a gravity field has arrows pointing along the direction of gravity, and is color-coded: blue for down, red for up, green for right, and gray or purple for left. Some [[gravity switch]]es are connected to them; they can also change direction with the music, like [[Blinking Block|Beat Block]]s. Gravity fields are the main mechanic of [[Bowser's Dark Matter Plant]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', and [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They usually point in cardinal directions, with an exception in [[Battle Belt Galaxy]].

A type of gravity field navigated in 3D appears in [[Toy Time Galaxy]]. It is a hexagon-textured, usually pink surface that pulls gravity toward it. These gravity fields are green on [[Toy Time Galaxy#Mecha-Bowser|Mecha-Bowser]]. Occasionally, nearby arrows help indicate the gravity direction of a field.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', the background of [[Flipsville Galaxy]] has similar arrows to a 2D gravity field. However, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] changes their direction by flipping between sides of a planetoid, by [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing [[grate]]s or [[Spin Drill|drill]]ing through dirt patches. Unlike true gravity fields, they do not affect all of the objects they encompass, only indicating the player character's gravity.

Gravity fields return in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they appear in some of the 2D sections accessed by [[8-bit pipe]]s. Inside the [[Inverted Pyramid]], the arrows on the gravity fields are designed after the pyramid itself.
