The Super Mario Galaxy 2 Instructional Disc is a standard DVD-ROM disc that came separately with some European and Japanese region Super Mario Galaxy 2 disc purchases (none was ever issued or available for USA). Due to the region protections, standard American DVD players are unable to play the disc.

The disc features a 24-minute-long, 9:16, MPEG2 video showing some of the game's basic mechanics (how to navigate the various player controls mostly).

Interestingly, it can be seen in text on the inside of the disc case, that the video recorded for this disc was played on a development build of Super Mario Galaxy 2. What precisely is the build date or time frame, or what unique things this build had, we are unsure about. But given these discs were released alongside these Super Mario Galaxy 2 regions, it must be very close to the retail build. Secondly, it can also be seen that the disc has been assigned with an ID starter of 9B4, instead of the retail SB4; making it one of the few non-Wii compatible discs to be assigned with a Wii-disc-like ID (and ring code).
