[[Mario]] starts on the [[Melty Molten Galaxy#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]] at the base of a volcano. While avoiding [[lava]] geysers, lava plumes and [[Li'l Cinder]]s, Mario has to make his way around the volcano, then cross a series of sinking platforms while avoiding [[lava burst]]s coming out of the lava. Afterward, Mario has to [[Ground Pound]] a switch and [[Wall Jump]] up to reach a series of [[Sling Star]]s and a [[Launch Star]] that will take Mario to the next group of planets. Moving to the top of the large glass planets, Mario then has to use [[Pull Star]]s to navigate around floating orbs of lava and avoid their bursts. At the end of which are two Launch Stars that will send Mario to the next area.

The next planet is a saucer with a Sling Star that will send Mario to a lava rock where he has to collect five [[Star Chip]]s to form a Launch Star that will send Mario to a series of moving platforms. Afterward is the titular [[Melty Molten Galaxy#Lava Spire|Lava Spire]], that will begin sinking once Mario steps on it. The player has to reach the top of the Lava Spire by jumping over obstacles and dodging enemies, then breaking the large [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]] at the top to collect the [[Power Star]].
