'''Melty Monster Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is located in World 6, being the first galaxy in that world. The galaxy is completely covered in lava, with a magma tide that raises in level 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 fire monsters that are known as [[Magmaargh]]s and [[Magmaw]]s, though [[Octogoomba]]s, [[Li'l Cinder]]s, and [[Pinhead]]s are also found.

Near to the Pier there is a group a five planets filled with lava that Mario cannot reach. [[Magmaargh]]s are the only creatures that inhabit in these planets, lurking in the lava to attack by surprise their prey. A set of [[Pull Star]]s are found among the Lava Planets in the level "The Magnificent Magma Sea". The player must carefully navigate the Pull Stars to avoid being cinged by the Magmaarghs and reach the [[Launch Star]] that will take Mario to another Launch Star. The player must then quickly use it to avoid a lunging Magmaargh that occupies it. If the player falls below the second [[Launch Star]] they will get sucked into a [[Black Hole]] smaller than Mario.

This planet has many volcanoes on its surface, and a river of lava where Mario lands. Waves forming from the lava can flood some very low spots like platforms over there, so the plumber needs to reach higher places to be safe. [[Octoomba]]s, a [[Li'l Cinder]] and a single Magmaargh roam in the planet. Around the river, there are also [[Galactic Tornado|Tornado]]es traveling over lava falls.

{{conjecture|section=yes}}
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 near to the surface of the planet, the gravity of the lava planet doesn't show effect over Mario, as he can run all around on the asteroids. The planet has several [[Magmaw]]s moving all over on the planet, with their mouths open to engulf the asteroids momentarily and to burn Mario. Another [[Magmaargh]] is found here hidden among the Magmaws group. A [[Comet Medal]] is found on one of the asteroids on this planet. An [[Item Crystal]] located on the Magma Sea Planet has a [[Power Star]].

This zone is a long path only accessible with the help of a [[Rock Mushroom]]. This area has many platforms set in a row and separated by large voids. Actually, this is an area that only [[Rock Mario]] can pass, as this zone has jump ramps that Mario, in his [[Boulder]] form, can use to cross the gaps and reach the platofrms. A few sections of the road are protected by rubber fences that if Rock Mario rolls towards them, he will rebound back.

The Bowling Lane is a special area that Mario only reaches via the Warp Pipe found in the Pier. This area is a sort of similar to the Rolling Lane Planet, as Mario must use the Rock Mushroom to play a bowling game and earn points by smashing the [[Pinhead]]s that are the only enemies found in this place. If Mario walks over the blue line, it will be a foul and the Pineheads will dissapear until Mario steps back again.

To complete this mission, Mario must first use the [[Pull Star]]s on the first planet to get past the Lava Planets and reach the [[Launch Star]]. When used, he'll land on the Volcano Planet. Here, he must make his way to the vine at the top of the volcano by using the [[Galactic Tornado]]s. Then, he has to swing on the vine to reach the [[Launch Star]]. When he lands on the next planet, he has to use the meteors and avoid the [[Magmaw]]s to get to the Crystal trapping the [[Power Star]]. When he reaches it, he has to break it and grab the [[Power Star]].

This Green Star is located on the Steel Road during the events of the second level. The player must use Rock Mario until he reaches the last steel road planet near the end that is shaped of an "N". It will be not far off of the bottom right point, so the player must bounce Mario off of the top left point, and then aim to the right of the next point. If done right, Mario should roll right into the last Green Star. However, if the [[player]] misses, Mario will be 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 will turn 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.

*This is the only Volcanic Galaxy to have only one mission (excluding the Prankster Comet's) with lava in it.
*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. This is actually the background of the Bowling Lane area, which is normally invisible until Mario enters the Bowling Lane area; due to a mistake, this background does not properly disappear when Mario leaves the Bowling Lane area, and remains visible from the Starting Planet.

Melty Monster Galaxy is the first galaxy of 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 Magmaarghs and Magmaws. However, Octogoombas, Li'l Cinders, and Pinheads are also found.

This galaxy does not have a Prankster Comet until the player unlocks the Green Stars.

Planets and areas[edit]

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 official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Mario on the Starting Planet in the Melty Monster Galaxy
Mario on the Starting 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[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 official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Mario floating down the Melty Monster Galaxy
Mario using the Pull Stars to get past among the Magmaargh Planets.

Near the starting platform, there is a group of five small lava-covered planets that Mario cannot reach. Magmaarghs are the only creatures that inhabit these planets, lurking in the lava and attacking by surprising their prey. A set of Pull Stars 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[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 official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

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. Octoombas, a Li'l Cinder and a single Magmaargh roams this planet. Near the river, there are also tornadoes that Mario must use to make his way up a lava fall.

Magmaw 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 official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Mario avoiding Magmaws in the Melty Monster Galaxy
Mario near the Magmaw 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 Magmaws 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 located on the planet contains the mission's Power Star.

Rolling Lane[edit]

Rock Mario takes a ramp in the level A Stroll Down Rolling Lane in the Melty Monster Galaxy
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[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 official name is found, then the section should be changed to its appropriate title.

Rock Mario bowling over Pinheads in the Bowling Lane.
The Chimp giving Mario a Power Star
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 Pinheads, 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.

Enemies[edit]

Missions[edit]

Green Star 3[edit]

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.

Trivia[edit]

  • 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 Rocks, 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. This is actually the background of the Bowling Lane area, which is normally invisible until Mario enters the Bowling Lane area; due to a mistake, this background does not properly disappear when Mario leaves the Bowling Lane area, and remains visible from the Starting Planet.
