This planet is small, made of dirt and is half-gone due to its Black Hole core eating away at its surface. 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.

Missions
King Kaliente's Spicy Return
Upon entering the galaxy, Mario will land on a small planet with a few Goombas, a 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 Octopuses 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.

Trivia
- This level is the only optional boss battle, as one can get the 60 Power Stars required without this Grand Star.
