Upon entering the galaxy, [[Mario]] will land on a small planet with a few Goombas, a [[Bill Blaster|Bullet Bill Blaster]], a caged [[1-Up Mushroom]] and a caged [[Launch Star]]. Mario will have to lure a Bullet Bill to the cage to smash it open, gaining access to the Launch Star. The Launch Star will shoot Mario to the Lava Reactor's surface, which is entirely lava, except for a few sinking platforms. There, Mario will encounter two brown Octopi that he will have to defeat to access another Launch Star. From there, Mario will encounter [[Bowser Jr.]], who will make him fight a much stronger, dark version of [[King Kaliente]] while on the sinking platforms. Upon defeating King Kaliente for the second time, Mario will receive the sixth [[Grand Star]].

Starting Planet[edit]

The Starting Planet

This planet is small, made of dirt and is half-gone with a black hole in its core. It is composed of multiple islands of varying sizes that Mario has to jump between, and his Long Jump technique can cross some of the gaps, which can make for a shortcut to save time. There are several Goombas and one Bullet Bill launcher. There are also several cages that can be broken by a Bullet Bill that contain items such as coins, a 1-Up Mushroom and a Launch Star.

Lava Reactor[edit]

The Lava Reactor[1] is a large star-like entity made up solely of lava. There are several sinking platforms around its northernmost region in a circle formation, with more sinking platforms in a path-like formation across its southernmost region where Mario lands. It bears a resemblance to Solar from the Star Fox franchise. It is home to King Kaliente and is where Mario fights him for the second time. When King Kaliente is defeated, the platforms no longer sink.

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

Throughout most of the level, A Tense Moment plays, being a 24-second ominous tune in E minor. During his battle, the music that King Kaliente uses plays. After King Kaliente is beaten, a calm song called "Star Chance" plays.

Trivia[edit]

  • Despite having his Airship destroyed at his Airship Armada, Bowser Jr. somehow gets his Airship back before the fight against King Kaliente.
  • This is the only one of Bowser Jr.'s reactors to not use the Good Egg Galaxy's background, which his Robot Reactor and Airship Armada employ, instead having a pitch-black background.
  • This is one of the few Galaxies where a Launch Star leads to a different spot on the same planet rather than a different planet entirely.
  • A giant white star can be seen far from the Lava Reactor, but cannot be accessed normally and was presumably added for decoration.
  • There is a glitch in this galaxy where one can perform a triple jump onto the cage with the 1-Up Mushroom on the Starting Planet and Star Spin at the height of the jump to actually fall on to the Lava Planet, similar the one in Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor; however, unlike the latter when the player lands on the solid planet where Megaleg was, since Mario or Luigi will fall nowhere near where the launch star would take him, the player has no choice but to lose a life by bouncing on the lava.[citation needed]
