The chapter acts as an epilogue to the story that unfolds in the original game, which was released in 2007 for the Wii. If you've unlocked all the previous chapters and collected another Power Star, you'll be able to read the new story.

Surprisingly, the story doesn't directly reference The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which revealed new lore about Rosalina. Instead, it acts as a conclusion to Galaxy 2's story of two Lumas.

In the chapter, Rosalina is seen meeting a mysterious girl. While her identity is not revealed, it's widely believed that the girl is the younger version of Rosalina herself. With reassuring words like, "The strongest force in the galaxy is a heart that never gives up," it's thought that Rosalina is reassuring her past self and reminiscing about how far her journey has led her.

A softly glowing character with stylized features is in the background. A text reads, “The strongest force in all the universe is a heart that never gives up.” A serene, hopeful tone is conveyed.
