Shiverburn Galaxy

Shiverburn Galaxy is a galaxy appearing in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2, located in World 5. It is similar to the Freezeflame Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy, as it revolves around the elements of lava and ice. Octoombas and Elite Octoombas are common enemies here. This galaxy uses the same music that is used in the Freezeflame Galaxy. Internally, the galaxy's background elements have the name "BeyondHellValleySky", likely named after an area in Japan named Hell Valley, which has hot springs and is surrounded by snow.

Magma Boat Magma Planet/Magma Boat Ice Planet
The Magma Boat Magma Planet or Magma Boat Ice Planet is U-shaped and initially covered in lava. A small floating volcano is located in its center point, while tall rock formations surround it. This planet features platforms that slowly sink in the lava if the player stands on them. A moving platform takes the player to a Cloud Flower, which they can use to get to the other Cloud Flower. They encounter a few Octoombas, Elite Octoombas and Ring Beamers along the ride. There is a switch in the middle of a platform that instantly freezes the lava so the player can walk on the planet's surface. Near the end of the path, the player can either take the Launch Star to the Magma Slice Planet or the pipe behind it to the Muimui Attack Planet.

Muimui Attack Planet
The Muimui Attack Planet is only accessed during The Chimp's Ultimate Skating Challenge mission. It looks like the exact same ice rink from the Freezy Flake Galaxy's mission. There are 9 holes in the ground and The Chimp challenges Mario to get 600 points by defeating Gummits.

Magma Slice Planet
The Magma Slice Planet is a spherical mass covered in magma bisected by a magma and rock wall. Rock platforms float around in a circular manner to help the player get across. Many Octoombas ride these platforms as well. If the player stays on the platforms for too long, they will be dragged into the lava walls. After the first half of the planet, there is an area with three coconuts, two Octoombas and a treasure chest. The player can open the chest with a coconut for a 1-Up Mushroom. The second half is generally the same as the first half except that there are now meteors falling down. There is another 1-Up Mushroom found at the end. The Launch Star will take the player to the Ice Magma Skate Planet. The Comet Medal is also near the Launch Star.

Ice Magma Skate Planet
The Ice Magma Skate Planet is a fusion of both ice and magma. When the player first lands, they should notice a long road covered in ice. However, meteors bombard the path and create molten fire puddles that will burn the player if they touch it. The player will need to navigate around the puddles while avoiding getting burnt, falling off, or being hit by the Elite Octoombas. The end of the ice path coincides with the start of a magma pond, where the player will need to defeat five Octopuses in order to proceed. At the next part, Frosteors will drop from the sky and form a temporary path to the Launch Star. The player should quickly skate on this to Prince Pikante's planet.

Starshroom
This planet is visited right before the fight with Prince Pikante. A Toad and a Lumalee are found here.

Vs Ota Rock Tank Ice Planet
The Vs OtaRock Tank Ice Planet is a generally small planet. It is completely covered in ice and is closely shaped like a peanut. There is a fence around it so the player will not fall off. Prince Pikante is fought on this planet. This area is also used as the only planet for the Octo-Army Icy Rainbow Romp, where many different Octoombas appear. However, this mission removes the fence present when fighting Prince Pikante.

Despite serving as Prince Pikante's battle arena, the internal name of this planet refers to the Octopus enemy's Japanese name, "Ota Rock".

"Tree" Easter Egg
If the player uses first-person view and looks up at the glacier cliffs in the background, three mysterious figures can be perceived. These three figures also appear in the background of the Pull Star Area in Grandmaster Galaxy, as it uses the same background.

In the game's files, it is possible to see a fourth small figure. They are separate from the galaxy's background textures, and the filename of the graphics that depict them is "HellValleySkyTree". "BeyondHellValleySky" identifies the background and sky textures and "Tree" refers to the figures themselves.

The figures look similar to a mythical Japanese creature called a. They are said to live in trees, or on tall mountains, and will supposedly curse a person if they attempt to cut one down.

A similar figure can be seen in the near background near the flagpole if the player waits long enough at the end of World 4-4 or near the window at the beginning of World 8-4 in Super Mario 3D Land.
