A '''gravity field'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. 2010. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Premiere Edition guide. Pages 64, 66, 67, 198, 231.</ref> is a special type of wall that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It has the power to control the direction that [[gravity]] pulls [[Mario]] within its expanse. The gravity fields contain arrows to show the player the gravity direction, as well colors: blue (arrows pointing down), red (or occasionally pink; arrows pointing up), green (arrows pointing the right), gray, and purple (in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', respectively, arrows pointing to the left). As soon as Mario or Luigi enters the area with the painted arrows and colored background, either character is immediately pulled towards the object that the arrows are pointing to. The direction that the arrows are pointing on the wall (and therefore the direction of gravity itself) can sometimes be changed if the player finds a [[gravity arrow]] and [[Spin]]s it or hits it with a [[Star Bit]]. Gravity fields appear in many levels, the most prominent of which is [[Bowser's Dark Matter Plant]], where they act as the main obstacle of the level. The [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]] feature gravity fields as their main elements. Gravity fields appear only in 2D sidescroller sections of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', however. | A '''gravity field'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. 2010.

A different variation of Gravity fields appear in [[Toy Time Galaxy]]. These variations appear as pink walls that [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) can walk on. There are also occasionally arrow that point to the direction that these walls pull the player to. These walls also appear green on the mecha-bowser planet but otherwise work the same. | A different variation of Gravity fields appear in [[Toy Time Galaxy]].

Gravity fields return in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they appear primarily in the 8-Bit ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''-style mural sections of some kingdoms. | Gravity fields return in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they appear primarily in the 8-Bit ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''-style mural sections of some kingdoms. | ||
