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, with large streams of plasma pouring from the former to the latter.  There are many [[Launch Star]]s here, allowing Mario to traverse the massive planet. There are also some small planetoids around it. This is the only galaxy that has [[Star Chip]]s in all three missions and the comet mission. This is one of the two galaxies to feature the theme for the Speedy and Daredevil Comets in a non-comet mission, the other being the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]].


{{Distinguish|Melty Monster Galaxy}}
This galaxy's music is in the key of D {{wp|Phrygian mode|Phrygian}}, which is typically used to produce a melancholic or dark sound in compositions.

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 Area''' is a volcano 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 they 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 two health slices to reach it, unless the player uses a good timed [[spin]] or a Long Jump.

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.

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:SMG Inside Volcano.png|thumb|200px|Mario inside the volcano]]
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]].

==={{conjecturaltext|Hardening Lava Planets|planets}}===
===Small Glass and Lava Planets===
[[Image:Lava_Planet_Forming_Planets.PNG|200px|thumb|left|The Forming Planets]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
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 saucer that serves as a starting platform. Strangely, these planets have their own gravity even though they are embedded in the main planet's surface.
[[File:SMG Melty Molten Glass and Lava Planets.png|200px|thumb|Mario Crossing the {{conjectural|Small Glass and Lava Planets|planets}}]]
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.

==={{conjecturaltext|Formation Planets|planets}}===
===Hardening Lava Planets===
[[Image:Lava_Planet_Lava_Spire.PNG|200px|thumb|right|the '''Lava Spire''']]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
The Formation Planets are a large rock formation surrounded by other large rock formations that are intertwined. The spire is also home to many Burn Bits. On top of the spire, a [[Power Star]] is incased in a large ice crystal that Mario must get to. The only problem is that when Mario steps on the spire, it begins to sink and now 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:SMG Melty Molten Saucer.png|200px|thumb|left|The {{conjectural|Hardening Lava Planets|planets}}.]]
[[File:SMG Melty Molten Spinning Hardening Lava Planet.png|200px|thumb|The {{conjectural|Hardening Lava Planets|planets}}.]]
These are two hardening planets made of magma and cooled lava on their surfaces that [[Mario]] can walk on. They are home to several [[Li'l Cinder]]s. One spins and the other does not. Beside them lies a crashed [[Topman]] [[UFO]] that serves as a starting platform; another one, tipped over and scorched, is seen later, but not used as a platform. These planets have their own gravity despite being embedded in the main planet's surface, and they are visited in the first and third missions, where Mario visits the static one in the former and both in the latter. These UFOs are a reference to an earlier version of the game, where [[Topmaniac]] was originally planned to be fought in this galaxy, but the idea was eventually scrapped.<ref>Game Developer's Conference 2007 Super Mario Galaxy Trailer [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GJx9DSJFvTU]</ref>

==={{conjecturaltext|Thwomp Planet|planet}}===
===Lava Spire===
[[Image:Stone_Octagon_Planet.PNG|200px|thumb|left|The Stone Octagon Planet]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
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.
[[File:SMG Sinking Lava Spire.png|200px|thumb|Mario flies to the Lava Spire]]
[[File:SMG Lava Spire Crystals.png|200px|thumb|left|The Lava Spire collapses]]
The Lava Spire is 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, the spire 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]]. Mario only visits this planet in the first mission after his departure from the static Hardening Lava Nodule.
{{br}}


This is the only planet in the galaxy without [[Lava]].
===Thwomp Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Thwomp Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|The {{conjectural|Thwomp Planet|planet}}.]]
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]] 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.
{{br}}


==={{conjecturaltext|U Tower Planet|planet}}===
===Cooled Lava Area===
[[Image:UPlanet.PNG|200px|thumb|right|]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
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 [[Bullet Bill Blaster]] that will try to stop Mario from continuing.
[[File:SMG Melty Molten Cooled Lava Area.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario collecting Star Chips in the {{conjectural|Cooled Lava Area|area}}]]
This is a small network of cooled lava platforms that is home to several [[Lava Bubble]]s. Mario must find five [[Star Chip|Yellow Star Chips]] to continue, and he only visits this planet in the second mission, in which it is constantly bombarded by meteors.

==={{conjecturaltext|Cooled Lava Area|planet}}===
===U Tower Planet===
[[Image:LavaColled_photo.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Mario collecting Star Chips in the '''Cooled Lava Area''']]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
This is a small network of cooled lava platforms that is home to several [[Ice Podoboo]]s. Mario must find five [[Star Chip|Yellow Star Chips]] to continue.
[[File:SMG U Tower Planet.png|200px|thumb|The {{conjectural|U Tower Planet|planet}}.]]
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 Lava Ball Rolling Planet, although a cage that [[Mario]] lands on after his departure from the Cooled Lava Area blocks it off from access. On the other side of the planet, there is a double-sided [[Bill Blaster]] that will try to stop Mario from continuing, although the [[Bullet Bill]]s it launches can be used to destroy the aforementioned cage, allowing him to continue.

==={{conjecturaltext|Lava Ball Game Area|planet}}===
===Lava Ball Rolling Planet===
[[Image:RollingMolten_photo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Mario in the '''Lava Golf Course Area'''.]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
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.

===Disk Planet===
[[Image:Lava_Planet_Steel_Platform_Area.PNG|200px|thumb|left|The Steel Platform Area]]
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
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 spouts. 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:SMG Melty Molten Disk Planet.png|200px|thumb|Mario in the {{conjectural|Disk Planet|planet}}.]]
This is a small disk with a spherical lava core, being exclusive to the third mission. It has several platforms that rotate around the core that [[Mario]] must ride and collect five yellow [[Star Chip]]s to continue to the Steel Platform Planet.

This is a small area with many steel platforms and sling stars, exclusive to the mission [[Fiery Dino Piranha]]. 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 [[Dino Piranha]], who has taken on a fiery form.

===Fiery Dino Piranha Planet===
{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Melty Molten Fiery Dino Piranha Planet.png|200px|thumb|left|Mario confronting the fiery Dino Piranha on its planet.]]
This planet is the home to the fiery [[Dino Piranha]], and is a copy of the Dino Geo Planet from the [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. Mario only visits this planet in the third mission, and first arrives on the planet as he lands on the 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 Dino Piranha breaks out of his egg and tries to attack Mario. Mario is rewarded with a Power Star after he defeats Dino Piranha.

{{conjecture|section=yes}}
[[File:SMG Melty Molten Lava Tide Planet.png|200px|thumb|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]] 80 [[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. The grey parts of the planet will not be covered up, including where Mario lands. Mario must scuttle across the planet, avoiding high tides and Burn Bits to retrieve five [[Silver Star]]s and get the Power Star for the secret mission [[Burning Tide]]. This Hungry Luma is absent in the [[Lava Spire Daredevil Run|Daredevil Comet mission]], and even if Mario fed him beforehand, the planet will not appear in the Daredevil Comet mission either.

===The Sinking Lava Spire===
{{SMG missions table|sortable=yes
[[Mario]] starts out in the fire cauldron area, which he has to cross completely and get to the Launch Star at the top of the volcano. Mario can let himself fall into the volcano at this point, where he can get many [[Star Bit]]s. As Mario leaves the volcano, it erupts. On little sphere capsules in the sky over the lava planet Mario meets a [[Hungry Luma]]. He has to use [[Pull Star]]s to get around miniature suns on his way through the sky. He then returns to the planet and has to search [[Star Chip]]s to get to the Lava Spire, a mountain which begins to sink. Mario then must get to the top of the mountain quickly and smash the [[Item Crystal|crystal]] to gain the [[Power Star]].

===Through the Meteor Storm===
==Gallery==
In this mission, [[Meteor]]s are constantly falling from the sky. [[Mario]] must constantly avoid them or they will burn Mario. Near the end of the mission, a part similar to [[Rolling Green Galaxy]] must be completed where Mario must ride a [[Star Ball]] to the end of a lava covered course without falling through the holes in the tunnel. Once Mario is at the end of the course, the [[Star Ball]] will break, giving Mario the [[Power Star]].

In this level, [[Mario]] must battle a [[Fiery Dino Piranha|fiery version]] of the first boss, [[Dino Piranha]].

===Burning Tide===
[[Mario]] must feed a [[Hungry Luma]] eighty [[Star Bit]]s to create a new planet where there are five [[Silver Stars]] he must collect. The only sections of land on the planet are constantly being submerged by searing lava, and the player must therefore make sure to stay in the higher areas until the lava level lowers and it's safe to walk to the next part. Once Mario has gotten all five Silver Stars, the resulting [[Power Star]] will appear on a lower area of the ground, so Mario must wait until it is safe to grab the Star.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*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 the only galaxy to feature the [[Star Ball|Rolling Ball]] but not have the word "Rolling" in its name, due to the Rolling Ball being a minor part of the galaxy, rather than the central focus.
*A galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' called the [[Melty Monster Galaxy]] greatly resembles this galaxy.

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, with large streams of plasma pouring from the former to the latter. There are many Launch Stars here, allowing Mario to traverse the massive planet. There are also some small planetoids around it. This is the only galaxy that has Star Chips in all three missions and the comet mission. This is one of the two galaxies to feature the theme for the Speedy and Daredevil Comets in a non-comet mission, the other being the Dusty Dune Galaxy.

This galaxy's music is in the key of D Phrygian, which is typically used to produce a melancholic or dark sound in compositions.

Planets/areas[edit]

Note: Unless otherwise stated, all planet names are unofficial.

Starting Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

The sinking metal platforms.

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 Bits. In the 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 second mission, all of the steel platforms are absent, since Mario has to light some torches, and meteors bombard the planet. In the third mission, the meteors have vanished, and the steel platforms leading to an indent in the plateau are present. In the Purple Comet mission, both sets of steel platforms are present.

Volcano[edit]

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 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 (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.

Small Glass and Lava Planets[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Melty Molten Galaxy
Mario Crossing the Small Glass and Lava Planets

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 first mission. Mario must navigate his way through these planets via Pull Stars 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.

Hardening Lava Planets[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

The Hardening Lava Planets.
Melty Molten Galaxy
The Hardening Lava Planets.

These are two hardening planets made of magma and cooled lava on their surfaces that Mario can walk on. They are home to several Li'l Cinders. One spins and the other does not. Beside them lies a crashed Topman UFO that serves as a starting platform; another one, tipped over and scorched, is seen later, but not used as a platform. These planets have their own gravity despite being embedded in the main planet's surface, and they are visited in the first and third missions, where Mario visits the static one in the former and both in the latter. These UFOs are a reference to an earlier version of the game, where Topmaniac was originally planned to be fought in this galaxy, but the idea was eventually scrapped.[1]

Lava Spire[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

The Lava Spire is a large rock formation surrounded by other large rock formations that are intertwined. The spire is also home to many Li'l Cinders. 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, the spire 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. Mario only visits this planet in the first mission after his departure from the static Hardening Lava Nodule.

Thwomp Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

The Thwomp Planet.

This planet is only visited in the second mission, being a large stone octagon that is covered by three Thwomps 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 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.

Cooled Lava Area[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Melty Molten Galaxy
Mario collecting Star Chips in the Cooled Lava Area

This is a small network of cooled lava platforms that is home to several Lava Bubbles. Mario must find five Yellow Star Chips to continue, and he only visits this planet in the second mission, in which it is constantly bombarded by meteors.

U Tower Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

The U Tower Planet.

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 Lava Ball Rolling Planet, although a cage that Mario lands on after his departure from the Cooled Lava Area blocks it off from access. On the other side of the planet, there is a double-sided Bill Blaster that will try to stop Mario from continuing, although the Bullet Bills it launches can be used to destroy the aforementioned cage, allowing him to continue.

Lava Ball Rolling Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Melty Molten Galaxy
Mario in the Lava Ball Rolling Area.

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 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.

Disk Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Mario in the Disk Planet.

This is a small disk with a spherical lava core, being exclusive to the third mission. It has several platforms that rotate around the core that Mario must ride and collect five yellow Star Chips to continue to the Steel Platform Planet.

Steel Platform Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

The Steel Platform Area

This is a small area with many steel platforms and sling stars, exclusive to the mission Fiery Dino Piranha. Mario must use the Sling Stars to avoid falling into the lava and dodge the Lava Geysers. 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 Dino Piranha, who has taken on a fiery form.

Fiery Dino Piranha Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Melty Molten Galaxy
Mario confronting the fiery Dino Piranha on its planet.

This planet is the home to the fiery Dino Piranha, and is a copy of the Dino Geo Planet from the Good Egg Galaxy. Mario only visits this planet in the third mission, and first arrives on the planet as he lands on the 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 Dino Piranha breaks out of his egg and tries to attack Mario. Mario is rewarded with a Power Star after he defeats Dino Piranha.

Lava Sea Planet[edit]

The title of this section is conjectural; an official name for the section's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an acceptable name is found, then the section should be changed to the new title.

Melty Molten Galaxy
Mario in the Lava Sea Planet.

This is a small rock planet with a sea of lava around it, created by feeding a Hungry Luma 80 Star Bits. 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. The grey parts of the planet will not be covered up, including where Mario lands. Mario must scuttle across the planet, avoiding high tides and Burn Bits to retrieve five Silver Stars and get the Power Star for the secret mission Burning Tide. This Hungry Luma is absent in the Daredevil Comet mission, and even if Mario fed him beforehand, the planet will not appear in the Daredevil Comet mission either.

Trivia[edit]

  • This is the only galaxy to feature the Rolling Ball but not have the word "Rolling" in its name, due to the Rolling Ball being a minor part of the galaxy, rather than the central focus.
  • Due to a mistake, the low-resolution model for the fiery Dino Piranha's planet still uses the design it had in the E3 build of Super Mario Galaxy. This outdated model can be seen from the starting planet.[2]
