'''Melty Monster Galaxy''' is the first [[galaxy]] of [[World 6 (Super Mario Galaxy 2)|World 6]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The galaxy is completely covered in [[lava]], with a magma tide that rises and falls every so often. The main obstacle here is the magma and its tide. As the name suggests, the most common enemies in the galaxy include giant lava monsters known as [[Magmaargh]]s and [[Magmaw]]s. However, [[Octogoomba]]s, [[Li'l Cinder]]s, and [[Pinhead]]s are also found.

This galaxy does not have a [[Prankster Comet]] until the player unlocks the [[Green Star]]s.

==Planets and areas==
===Starting Planet===

[[File:SMG2 Melty Monster Starting Planet.png|thumb|left|Mario on the {{conjectural|Starting Planet|planet}}.]]
[[Mario]] arrives in this galaxy on a small concrete platform floating in the void. On the platform, there is a [[Warp Pipe]] that sends the hero to the Bowling Lane area.

===Magmaargh Planets===

[[File:SMG2 Melty Monster Magmaargh Planets.png|thumb|Mario using the [[Pull Star]]s to get past among the {{conjectural|Magmaargh Planets|planets}}.]]
Near the starting platform, there is a group of five small lava-covered planets that Mario cannot reach. [[Magmaargh]]s are the only creatures that inhabit these planets, lurking in the lava and attacking by surprising their prey. A set of [[Pull Star]]s are found among the Lava Planets in the first mission, [[The Magnificent Magma Sea]]. The player must carefully navigate the Pull Stars while avoiding the Magmaarghs to reach the [[Launch Star]]. The Launch Star takes Mario to another Launch Star which the player must quickly use to avoid a lunging Magmaargh.

===Magma Sea Planet===

[[File:SMG2 Melty Monster Magma Sea Dual Image.png|thumb|Mario on the Magma Sea.]]
This planet has many volcanoes on its surface, and there is a river of lava where Mario lands. Waves of lava can cover some low platforms, so the player needs to reach higher ground to be safe. [[Octoomba]]s, a [[Li'l Cinder]] and a single Magmaargh roams this planet. Near the river, there are also [[tornado]]es that Mario must use to make his way up a lava fall.
{{br}}

===Magmaw Planet===

[[File:SMG2 Melty Monster Magmaw Planet.png|thumb|Mario near the {{conjectural|Magmaw Planet|planet}}.]]
This isolated planet looks similar to the Lava Planets, but it has a small field of asteroids surrounding it. Mario can only access these asteroids. Even though they are very close to the surface of the planet, the gravity of the lava planet does not affect Mario, as he can run all around on the asteroids. The planet has several [[Magmaw]]s moving around. Their mouths are open as they move, engulfing the asteroids temporarily and burning Mario. Another [[Magmaargh]] is found here hidden among the Magmaws. A [[Comet Medal]] is found on one of the asteroids, and a [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]] located on the planet contains the mission's [[Power Star]].
{{br}}

===Rolling Lane===
[[File:SMG2Ramp.png|thumb|Mario taking the ramp to the Launch Star that will take him to Rolling Lane.]]
This zone is a long path where the [[Rock Mushroom]] is used. This area has many platforms, some of which are separated by large voids. The Rolling Lane is an area that only [[Rock Mario]] can pass, as the zone has jump ramps that only Mario in his [[Boulder]] form can use to cross the gaps and reach the platforms. A few sections of the road are protected by rubber fences, and if Rock Mario rolls towards them, he will rebound back.

===Bowling Lane===

[[File:SMG2 Chimp Power Star.png|left|thumb|The Chimp grants Mario a [[Power Star]] for clearing his challenge.]]
The Bowling Lane is a special area that Mario can only reach via the Warp Pipe found on the starting planet. This area is sort of similar to the Rolling Lane. Mario must use the Rock Mushroom to play a bowling game, earning points by smashing [[Pinhead]]s, the only enemies found on the planet. [[The Chimp]], who is in charge of the game, is found here. If Mario walks over the blue line, it will be a foul, and the Pinheads will disappear until Mario steps back again.

===Green Stars===
====Green Star 1====
[[File:MeltyMonsterGS1.png|thumb|200px|[[Luigi]] floating to the first Green Star.]]
This Green Star is located between two lava planets, above the [[Launch Star]]. Mario must quickly use the last two aligned [[Pull Star]]s once the Magmarrgh passes by, grabbing onto the last one. If the player lets go before Mario is in the center of the Pull Star, he will have enough speed to make it past the Launch Star and to the Green Star.

====Green Star 2====
[[File:MeltyMonsterGS2.png|thumb|200px|Luigi about to get the second Green Star]]
This Green Star is located on the [[#Magma Sea Planet|Magma Sea Planet]]. At the end of the tornado path, Mario must grab the vine, get maximum momentum, and jump to the Green Star. It is also possible, to get to the Green Star without the vine by using the last tornado but it is much harder that way.

====Green Star 3====
[[File:MeltyMonsterGS3.png|thumb|200px|Luigi rolling towards the last Green Star.]]
This Green Star is located on the Rolling Lane. The player must use Rock Mario until he reaches the last platform in the section shaped like an "N". The Green Star is not far off from the bottom right point, so the player must bounce Mario off of the top left point, and then aim towards the bottom right. If done correctly, Mario rolls right into the last Green Star. However, should the player miss, Mario is sent plummeting into space.

Alternatively, Mario can go to the end of the course, where the normal [[Power Star]] waits. Crashing into the lone block in the far left corner turns Mario back to normal, and he can then [[Long Jump]] back to the N-shaped platform by standing on the fence. This makes it much easier to collect the Green Star, either by precision jumping or by lining up the trajectory for his Rock form.

==Notes==
*A glitch caused by long jumping off the rubber wall on the final platform of the allows the player to explore the entire rolling lane on foot. The [[Co-Star Luma]] can break the [[Star Piece Cluster|Star Piece Cluster Rock]]s, giving the player four star bits.
*If Mario leaves the Bowling Lane area and looks off to the left of the lava ball planets on the Starting Planet, the player can see a large, black circle whose texture matches the background seen in many bonus areas.
