Your computer (specifically the processor) is very, very slow for Super Mario Galaxy 2. Here's the best settings I can give you.

If your NVIDIA graphics card is very new (GTX 6 or 7 series) use Latest Master and OpenGL. If on an older NVIDIA card, use a build before 4.0-722 and make sure to check the Vertex Streaming Hack in OpenGL's Graphics Settings/Hacks. Check Skip EFB Access to CPU except when you need to use pull stars. If it's still laggy, you can try the frameskip option, but at that point we're grasping for straws.

Maybe you could give the "DX9-final build" a shot: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-unofficial-testing-needed-dx9-final

Although I don't know whether SMG2 runs okay with it or not..

Even my old machine gets a 100% in that game in most places with the DX9 build. Especially if you have a GTX 4xx/5xx card, you should try it because for now, OpenGL has an issue with those cards.

EDIT: Whoops, somehow I thought he had a sandy bridge CPU. Since his is actually even worse than mine, he's definitely going to have performance issues without overclocking...

He will need to overclock his CPU . 2.93GHz Core 2 duo is too slow for most games anyway
3.6~3.8GHz is possible as long as he's using an aftermarket cooler (not Intel stock heatsink)

I am going to try it. Maybe it will work ? Even 40 fps can work... Its getting worse.

EDIT: Tired downloading it but the Mega website is not working. Can one of you who have it upload it to mediafire and give the link to me ? It would help me very much.

this one works (x64): https://mega.co.nz/#!t0ESBJgZ!J_nmuGs2gH-6u909Tekw9wJNr8N6pOFWImzdfWw4W6w

OpenGL has a fix in the latest master to make it work much faster on the NVIDIA GTX 400 and 500 series cards.
