The '''Melty Molten Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and the last major galaxy to be unlocked in a dome. It is quite a large galaxy, made completely of lava and rock. It is situated between two stars, a red one and a light purple one.  There are many [[Launch Star]]s here, allowing Mario to traverse the massive planet. There are also some small planetoids around it.

==Planets/Areas==

[[File:LavaStart_photo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}.]]

 

This area is a large disk of lava connected to the main planet. It contains a small volcano called [[Mt. Molten]] with two large platforms on either side of it. Both have various obstacles and enemies. Small steel platforms make a path between the two platforms. The volcano has a switch inside that makes the lava rise and release [[Star Bit]]s.

The Volcano is a volcanic area found in the Melty Molten Galaxy. There is a [[Launch Star]] above it, but if [[Mario]] drops into the volcano, there is a ground-pound switch on a rock floor at the bottom, which causes star bits to appear. However, the volcano will erupt fifteen seconds after Mario activates the switch, so he will have to use a [[Sling Star]] at the bottom to get out. In the [[Purple Coin]] mission ([[Melty Molten Galaxy#Red Hot Purple Coins|Red Hot Purple Coins]]), there are purple coins down the sides of and inside of the Volcano Area. One coin in this mission is placed on top of a small lava ring inside the volcano, requiring a health slice to reach it, unless the player uses a good timed [[spin]] or a Long Jump.

These are a collection of six small lava planets and three small glass planets. Mario must navigate his way through these planets via [[Pull Star]]s avoiding solar arcs that will knock him off the Pull Star path and take him into their gravity fields causing Mario to bounce across the lava surface. In the Daredevil Run, Mario needs to wait for these arcs to pass or he will be hit and lose a life.

[[File:Lava_Planet_Forming_Planets.PNG|200px|thumb|left|The {{conjectural|Hardening Lava Planets|planets}}.]]

These are two hardening planets made of magma and cooled lava. They are home to several [[Li'l Cinder]]s. Beside them lies a crashed [[Topman]] saucer that serves as a starting platform; another one, tipped over and scorched, is seen later, but not used as a platform. Strangely, these planets have their own gravity even though they are embedded in the main planet's surface.

[[File:Lava_Planet_Lava_Spire.PNG|200px|thumb|right|The '''Lava Spire''']]

The Formation Planets are a large rock formation surrounded by other large rock formations that are intertwined. The spire is also home to many [[Li'l Cinder]]s. On top of the spire, a [[Power Star]] is incased in a large ice crystal that Mario must get to. When Mario steps on the spire, it begins to sink, so he must run up the spire or be engulfed by the lava. There is a shortcut at the beginning of the spire that leads Mario halfway up and gets him a [[1-Up Mushroom]].

[[File:Stone_Octagon_Planet.PNG|200px|thumb|left|The {{conjectural|Thwomp Planet|planet}}.]]

This planet is a large stone octagon that is covered by three [[Thwomp]]s, which has a 1-Up Mushroom under the third Thwomp. The core of this planet is a black hole that Mario must avoid.

 

This planet is a large U-shaped planet of cooled magma with stone built onto it to make it like a tower from a castle. The inside of the planet is made out of hot magma. On one side of the planet, there is a [[Launch Star]] that leads to the next planet. On the other side of the planet, there is a double-sided [[Bill Blaster]] that will try to stop Mario from continuing.

This is a small network of cooled lava platforms that is home to several [[Lava Bubble (blue)|Lava Bubble]]s. Mario must find five [[Star Chip|Yellow Star Chips]] to continue.

===Lava Ball Rolling Area===

[[File:RollingMolten_photo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Mario in the {{conjectural|Lava Ball Rolling Area|area}}.]]

This area is made up of many lava panels, four stone panels, and a humoungus tunnel of lava. The tunnel has many holes in it that Mario can fall through to his death. Mario must roll on the [[Rolling Ball]] to the finish line so he could receive the Power Star. There is a shortcut Mario can take to avoid the moving lava platforms: he can jump to the stone platform with a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. Jumping on this platform will cause the ball to slow down, so the player must roll the ball near the back edge of the platform, build up momentum, and jump. It saves the time of going over the moving lava platforms.

===Steel Platform Area===

[[File:Lava_Planet_Steel_Platform_Area.PNG|200px|thumb|left|The {{conjectural|Steel Platform Area|area}}]]

This is a small area with many steel platforms and sling stars. Mario must use the [[Sling Star]]s to avoid falling into the lava and dodge the [[Lava Geyser]]s. At the end of this area, there is [[Lumalee]] that Mario could decide to buy either a [[1-Up Mushroom]] or a [[Life Mushroom]] for the battle against [[Fiery Dino Piranha]].

[[File:Lavadisksplanet.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Mario in the {{conjectural|Disk Planet|planet}}.]]

This is a small disk with a spherical lava core. It has several platforms that rotate around the core that [[Mario]] must ride and collect five yellow [[Star Chip]]s to continue to the next planet.

[[File:LavaGeo_photo.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Mario confronting Fiery Dino Piranha on its planet.]]

 

This planet is the home to [[Fiery Dino Piranha]]. Mario first arrives on the planet as he lands on the Fiery Dino Piranha egg and cracks it, which makes a slight crack on the egg. After Mario spins the ball at the end of the tail, the Fiery Dino Piranha breaks out of its egg and tries to attack Mario. Mario is rewarded with a Power Star after he defeats Fiery Dino Piranha.

[[File:LavaTide_photo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Mario in the {{conjectural|Lava Sea Planet|area}}.]]

This is a small rock planet with a sea of lava around it, created by feeding a [[Hungry Luma]] eighty [[Star Bit]]s. The lava has a tide that reveals a network of paths when low, which Mario can advance through, but the lava covers up the path when it is a high tide. Mario must scuttle across the planet, avoiding high tides and Burn Bits to retrieve five [[Silver Star]]s and get the Power Star.

*The Melty Molten Galaxy has the distinction of being the only galaxy in the game that contains a [[Daredevil Comet]] level where a boss is not fought, despite the fact that this galaxy features [[Fiery Dino Piranha]] as a boss. This is also the only Daredevil Comet where the entire level needs to be completed.

*The Small Glass and Lava Planets in this galaxy are extremely similar in appearance to the [[Space Junk Galaxy#Orb Planets|Orb Planets]] from the [[Space Junk Galaxy]], only slightly smaller.

*Along with [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]], this is the only galaxy to play the Speedy Comet theme in a non-comet mission. Also, the Speedy Comet theme is still played when on the Lava Spire during the Daredevil Comet mission, which has the same theme.

*This is the only galaxy to have [[Star Chips]] in all three missions and the comet mission.

*The saucers found in Melty Molten Galaxy are a reference to the beta of the game. [[Topmaniac]] was originally planned to be fought in this galaxy, but the idea was eventually scrapped.
