'''Bowser's Lava Lair''' is a [[galaxy]] appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and is the final galaxy of [[Super Mario Galaxy 2#World 2|World 2]]. As the name suggests, the galaxy is full of lava. There are also [[Whomp]]s. [[Giant Bowser]] is seen sitting on a throne there, which looks like a castle. To defeat Bowser and win the [[Grand Star]], [[Mario]] must hit Bowser four times with [[Meteorite]]s when he tries to hit Mario.

A simple planet with a few columns on the sides and a [[Magikoopa]] that spawns [[Li'l Cinder]]s with its magic. There is also a [[Luma]] that tells Mario that it senses a Grand Star ahead. It also warns Mario that there is danger ahead.

This planet contains lava in the middle, with rotating platforms on it. The planet also contains several [[Lava Bubble]]s. On one side of it is a springboard and a [[Luma (species)|Luma]]. {{br}}

A very large planet with surrounded by lava. The [[Toad Brigade]] and a [[Tip Network]] is found here.  Mario will also encounter some [[Flomp]]s that spin to throw Mario backwards. After defeating a few [[Hammer Bro]]s. on a circular platform a [[Sling Star]] will appear. That leads to a short tower with a platform next to it. The platform has a [[Ground-Pound Switch]] and leads to the lower lever of the planet. The player will encounter more Kurunbas. Whomps and [[Dry Bones]] are also found here. He will also find a door with a big stone lock which he must break by ground-pounding [[Meteor]]s. {{br}}

A rather small planet compared to the last one. Also surrounded by lava, there are some [[Mattermouth]]s There is a black hole inside this planet. Near the [[Midway Flag|Checkpoint Flag]] at the beginning one of the members of the Toad Brigade trying to find a 1-Up for Mario gives him some [[Star Bit]]s. There is a [[Snake Block]] that Mario has to stay on in order to get across the lava. Another Life Mushroom can be found above the [[Fire Bar]]s. Then there is a another, smaller, Snake Block. This time Mario has to avoid electricity-shooting Bowser statues, somewhat similar to the ones in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Before the final Checkpoint Flag are three Hammer Bros. After getting past that part, the player must break three stone locks to open the door to go battle Bowser. There is yet another Life Mushroom above one of the flagpoles. If playing the mission "[[#Lava Lair Speed Run|Lava Lair Speed Run]]", the player has to make it behind the giant door to get the Power Star.

A small planet shaped like a star. In front of it is another planet shaped like Bowser's throne. After talking to Bowser, Mario will be sent to the Bowser Battle Planet. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] cannot lose a life on the star-shaped planet, rather, if they jumped off the side of it, they would be surrounded by energy and carried back onto the planet, like they would when falling off the [[Comet Observatory]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

It is a small planet resembling a castle made of black bricks and a few rocks that Mario can break to get coins. Here, he will battle Bowser by ground-pounding meteors at him.
