The texture, internally named HellValleySkyTree, depicts two unique figures. The figures appear to be modeled at dozens of times Mario's size, as can be seen in a model viewer, although it should be noted that the size of background objects in games must often be fudged for visibility. For the same reason, they give the illusion of continually following Mario or Luigi as they travel through the galaxy.

In Shiverburn Galaxy and part of the Grandmaster Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, several shadowy figures with hollow eyes can be seen standing on a cliff in the background.Īs the figures belong to the galaxy's sky model, they cannot be reached in-game, even by using flight or moon jump hacks.
