Freezeflame Galaxy

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.

Ice Ring Planet
The starting planet of the Freezeflame Galaxy. It 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. Later on in the game, this planet becomes infused with balls of fire and lava, making it more difficult to get around without getting burned.

Frozen Peak Planet


The Frozen 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. 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.

Lava Core Planet
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 Burn Bits.

Hot and Cold Planet
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 freezing 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.

Ice and Lava Platform Planets
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.

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 Frozen Peak Planet, where he has to scale the summit of the icy mountain. Mario must avoid the water on the planet, as it is freezing cold and will gradually drain his life meter if entered. The player must gradually make their way up the mountain using the Ice Flower to walk and skate on the freezing water. Near the top of the mountain, Mario will encounter the summit of Baron Brrr. 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. 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.

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, where he must avoid the many Urchins on the water side of the planet and 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, 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.

 * Ice and Lava Platform Planets

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 Frozen Peak Planet, many of which can be found in hard-to-reach areas on the icy mountain which comprises almost the entire planet. 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, the player must follow the exact same procedure as in The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr, (starting on the Ice Ring Planet and progressing to the Frozen Peak Planet) until the player reaches a second set of broken water pipes just above the main body of freezing water. Mario must use the Ice Flower to create icy stepping stones on the water pipes and then use a Triple Jump or Backwards Somersault to reach a hidden Sling Star, which will take him to the other side of a mountain. Here he will encounter multiple Pushy Walls 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, at the top of which lies the hidden 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 spoof of "freeze frame".
 * When Mario 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.
