Template:Galaxybox The Freezeflame Galaxy is one of the five Bedroom galaxies in the game Super Mario Galaxy. It requires the use of both the Fire Flower and the Ice Flower to complete. Half of this galaxy consists of freezing water and ice, while the other half consists of molten fire and lava. Baron Brrr resides on the icy half of the galaxy. The galaxy appears to be mainly divided into three large planets. One is an icy planet, the second is a lava planet, and the third is a combination of both fire and ice with a rock-like core. There are also two minor planetoids of note; the first of which resembles a large ring of ice, and is the first planet that Mario lands on when he enters the galaxy. The second planet is one that features alternating paths of both lava and ice, and is first encountered in the "Hot and Cold Collide" level. This is also where Cosmic Mario is raced later, only without the lava parts present.
Planets/Areas
Template:Conjecturaltext
The starting planet of the Freezeflame Galaxy consists of nothing more than a thin ring of ice with several ice crystals and stone stumps on the surface. Two rolling boulders are also found rolling along the inner side of the ring. The first time Mario lands here, he must ice skate around it to catch a small Penguin and make the Launch Star appear. In Hot and Cold Collide, this planet becomes infused with balls of fire and lava, making it difficult to get around without getting burned.
Freezy Peak Planet
The Freezy Peak Planet is essentially the main planet in the galaxy, as it is the most often visited by Mario. It is large planet that consists of a very high and rocky mountain with three levels of freezing lakes of Cold water. There is a large ice slide at the beginning of the planet and a second, smaller one hidden above the first lake. After taking the Launch Star to this planet, Mario will land on the first ice slide and end up on a small icy area inhabited by Goombas. Just after the three lakes are several icy cliffs that Mario must scale in order to reach the summit of the planet. Baron Brrr resides on the third level of the mountain.
Template:Conjecturaltext
This planet is probably the largest planet encountered in the galaxy. It consists of a large round sphere of cooled magma, through the center of which runs a large fissure filled with molten lava. When Mario flies to this planet, he lands on a small stone platform located within the fissure. There are also multiple other platforms located inside the fissure, which prevent Mario from falling in the lava. In Freezeflame's Blistering Core, he must follow these platforms to the center of the planet where he will find the Power Star for that level. These platforms seem to be all that remains of what appears to be a ruined civilization that has now been inhabited by multiple Red Urchins and Li'l Cinders.
Template:Conjecturaltext
This planet is essentially a large sphere with two circular openings on either side that connect across the middle of it by means of a small passageway. One of the openings is filled with Cold water and many Urchins. There are also a few snow covered platforms sticking up out of the water on this side of the planet. The second of the two openings is filled with burning lava. There is a stone section with a double-sided cage that holds a Fire Flower within it in the middle of the lava. In the Hot and Cold Collide level, Mario must Spin a valve on one side of the cage in order to unlock it and access the Fire Flower, which is needed to complete the level. The tides on each side of the planet alternate with each other depending on how high one of the tides is in relation to the other.
Template:Conjecturaltext
These planets are actually comprised of many small non-gravitational alternating platforms made of pure ice or lava. There are also several rock platforms with snow on them, which serve as resting platforms for Mario when he ice skates across it. In Hot and Cold Collide, this is the final planet that is encountered in the level. Mario must use the Ice Flower to ice skate across the lava portions (as well as the ice portions) to reach the Power Star hovering over the last platform. Later in the game, the lava platforms are transformed into ice, and Mario (or Luigi) must race their cosmic counterparts to the final platform and beat them to the Power Star. This planet is also surrounded by multiple Black Holes which will suck Mario and Luigi in if they are not careful.

As Mario approaches the Starting Planet in this galaxy, he flies past these three inaccessible spherical planets of pure lava, which look like three small suns. The planets also resemble the balls of lava which become infused with the Starting Planet in the third mission of the galaxy.
Enemies
Levels
The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr
Mario begins the level on the Ice Ring Planet. After talking to a Penguin, he must utilize his ice skating abilities pursue it around the ice ring and catch it. The Penguin will then allow Mario to use his Launch Star, after making a comment on how he has a small chance of surviving. Once Mario uses the Launch Star, he will be taken to the Freezy Peak Planet. Mario must proceed to jump across the floating ice platforms, which lead to an Ice Flower. Mario must utilize this Ice Flower to skate across the water, climb up the rock platforms, and freeze the jets of water to make it to the next platform. Mario must go up and avoid the Sliding Stone that try to push Mario into the water. Afterwards, Mario will end up on a new platform. He must follow the platform to another set of floating ice platforms, which Mario must jump across to find another Ice Flower. Mario must utilize this Ice Flower to skate up, use the Bomps as platforms, and activate the Sling Star. This Sling Star will shoot Mario up to a jet of water, which the Ice Flower will freeze. Jumping up from the water, Mario will encounter Baron Brrr. To defeat this boss, Mario must use the Ice Flower to get on the platform the Baron is on, avoiding the clumps of ice the Baron throws. When on the platform, Mario must get close to the Baron and spin to cool him down. Then, Mario must spin the Baron again while the Baron is defenseless. Mario must do this three times, avoiding the shockwaves and Li'l Brrrs that he summons, to defeat him. After the player defeats Baron Brrr, the Power Star will appear.

Freezeflame's Blistering Core
Again, Mario begins the level on the Ice Ring Planet. This time, he must collect all five Star Chips that have been frozen in various parts of the planet. After using the Launch Star that appears, Mario is taken to the Lava Core Planet. This planet is in a linear path. On this planet, the player must be cautious of the red Urchins rolling around many of the platforms as well as the fireballs springing up from the lava. Once Mario obtains the Fire Flower, he will gain the ability to cast fireballs at his enemies, allowing him to defeat red Urchins as well as light torches. Every time Mario lights a pair of torches, a new path will open for him, revealing the way to the next area. He must continue to progress through the level, until he reaches a cage with the Power Star behind it. He must carefully make his way across a pool of lava to two more torches on either side of the cage, which will open when both torches have been lit. Mario can then walk along the bridge and claim his Power Star.

Hot and Cold Collide
Mario once again starts the level on the Ice Ring Planet, only now, the outer rim of it has been covered in fire and molten fireballs now encircle the planet. Carefully avoiding the fireballs, Mario must make his way to the other side of the planet, where he has to Spin to break the Launch Star out of an ice crystal. He will then fly to the Hot and Cold Planet. Mario must avoid the many Urchins on the ice side of the planet and go to the other side of the area, where there is an ice wall and a valve surrounded by Urchins. Mario must spin a valve to open a large door and reveal the passage to the fire side of the planet. Mario will then encounter a double-sided cage that contains a Fire Flower. He must work his way around to the other side of the cage, avoiding the rising lava and the Urchins, where he will have to spin another valve to open it. Collecting the Fire Flower, the player must quickly run back to the icy side of the planet and light the two torches near the landing point. When the Launch Star appears, the player will be taken to the Ice and Lava Platform Planets, where Mario must use the Ice Flower to ice skate across the lava plaforms (as well as the ice platforms) until he reaches the final platform, where the Power Star awaits.

Frosty Cosmic Mario/Luigi Race (Cosmic Comet)
This level can only be accessed when a Cosmic Comet orbits the Freezeflame Galaxy. The level takes place on the Ice and Lava Platform Planets encountered at the end of the Hot and Cold Collide level, the only difference being that every lava platform has been replaced with an ice platform. The player will be taken straight to the starting platform of these planets at the beginning of the level, and must then race against Cosmic Mario (or Cosmic Luigi) and beat them to the end of the platforms to recover the Power Star.

Purple Coins on the Summit (Purple Comet)
This level can only be accessed when a Purple Comet is in orbit. The player needs to collect all 100 Purple Coins hidden throughout the Freezy Peak Planet, many of which can be found in hard-to-reach areas on the icy mountain which comprises almost the entire planet. No Purple Coins are found inside cold water according to Purple Toad near the beginning point. After all 100 Purple Coins have been collected, the Power Star will appear close to the ice slide near the beginning of the planet.

Conquering the Summit
In order to complete this level, Mario must follow the exact same procedure as in The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr, (starting on the Ice Ring Planet and progressing to the Freezy Peak Planet). When Mario jumps across the first set of water jets, instead of going up to the Bomps, he must go right to a second set of water jets, where there is a 1-Up Mushroom. Utilizing his Triple Jump ability, Mario must reach a new platform with a Sling Star, which will take him to the other side of a mountain. Here he will encounter multiple Bomps and several snowmen blocking his path, which he must destroy using the Fire Flower. He must then continue to climb to the top of the peak, now avoiding Boulders and Ice Swoopers. After wall-jumping up near the peak of the mountain, Mario can claim the Power Star.

Trivia
- There is a glitch that allows Luigi to explore the surface of the Hot and Cold Planet. Luigi must do a triple jump right on the connecting ramp and then wall jump off the lip of the wall to access it.
- The galaxy's name is presumably a pun of "freeze frame". It is also based on the fact that the galaxy has both ice and lava.
- When Mario or Luigi flies from an icy area to a fiery area, the style of the music changes to match the environment.
- A galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, called the Shiverburn Galaxy, resembles this galaxy in both its name and appearance. They even have the same music.
- The Cosmic Comet for this galaxy is available before the Hot and Cold Collide Power Star is collected - in fact, it is available as soon as the first Star has been obtained. This makes this galaxy unique in that the area used in the Comet mission does not have to have already been visited.
- Auroras can sometimes be seen around a few of the planets in this galaxy. This is possibly due to the cold temperature of some of the galaxy's planets.
- If the player looks up by the Hot and Cold Planet, they will see Star Light floating in the air. This is the light from the Hot and Cold Collide level. This Star Light is present on all levels, even the Purple Comet Level. It could be possible that this may have been a secret star in the beta.
