===Volcanic Planet===

|caption1=Mario lands on the {{conjectural|Volcanic Planet|planet}}.

This area is a large disk of lava connected to the main planet. It contains a small volcano 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. In the [[The Sinking Lava Spire|first mission]], only the platforms leading to the side of the plateau on the second platform with the collapsible wall nearby will be present. In the [[Through the Meteor Storm|second mission]], all of the steel platforms are absent, since Mario has to light some torches, and [[Meteor|meteors]] bombard the planet. In the [[Fiery Dino Piranha|third mission]], the meteors have vanished, and the steel platforms leading to an indent in the plateau are present. In the [[Red-Hot Purple Coins|Purple Comet mission]], both sets of steel platforms are present.

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 Bit]]s to appear. However, the volcano will erupt ten 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 and the lava will not rise. 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, though Mario only visits this region after he leaves the Starting Planet in the [[The Sinking Lava Spire|first mission]]. 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.

This planet is only visited in the second mission, being a large stone octagon that is covered by three [[Thwomp]]s on the second, fourth, and fifth faces, with a 1-Up Mushroom under the third Thwomp. The planet's core is a hollow cavity haunted by a [[Black Hole|black hole]] that Mario must avoid as he runs around the planet to a [[Launch Star]] leading to the Cooled Lava Area. The third face has a gap that Mario must jump over. However, he must also avoid the meteor that falls in, lest he gets knocked back with the risk of falling into the black hole. The sixth and seventh faces have bumps that Mario must climb over and more meteors that he must avoid, and after that is a Launch Star. If Mario attempts a [[Long Jump]] at the first face to get to the seventh, he will fall into the gap where the eighth face should be and get eaten by the black hole at the core.

This planet is made up of many lava panels, four stone panels, and a humongous tunnel of lava. The tunnel has many holes in it that Mario can fall through to his death. Mario must roll on the [[Star Ball|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.
