Daredevil Comet
It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: detail galaxy differences
The Daredevil Comet is a type of Prankster Comet featured in both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. It cuts Mario or Luigi's maximum health down to only one hit point, as opposed to the usual three (or six with a Life Mushroom). Nearly all Daredevil Comet missions have "Daredevil Run" in the title. Additionally, it removes all Life Mushrooms and even coins from the level so that the player cannot get them, and coins will not spawn from stomping enemies.
Super Mario Galaxy
In Super Mario Galaxy, five galaxies are visited by the Daredevil Comet: Battlerock Galaxy, Ghostly Galaxy, Gusty Garden Galaxy, Deep Dark Galaxy, and Melty Molten Galaxy. The former four have the player battle a previously fought boss: Topmaniac, Bouldergeist, Major Burrows, and Kamella respectively, while Melty Molten Galaxy has the player complete the entire first mission (The Sinking Lava Spire) with only one hit point. Taking any damage during a Daredevil Comet requires the player to start the mission over from the beginning. At the start of the first four aforementioned galaxies, the player is automatically brought to the last planet where the boss resides, without the need to travel throughout the galaxy.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Daredevil Comet is featured in Spin-Dig Galaxy, Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet, the Slipsand Galaxy, Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker, the Battle Belt Galaxy, and the Grandmaster Galaxy. Unlike Super Mario Galaxy, some of the Daredevil Runs have Checkpoint Flags. Just like the Speedy Comet, the original level can be dramatically changed when visited by a Daredevil Comet.
