Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla

"Wahaha! Made it this far, huh? I won't need my dad's help to finish you off! I got a big surprise for you!"

- Bowser Jr.

Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla is a galaxy appearing in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The galaxy seems to be orbiting the Mushroom World. The main feature of this galaxy is the introduction of lava and other fiery hazards. The boss found here is Gobblegut.

The starting planet is a fort-like area surrounded by lava. It has a gate with Bowser Jr.'s head on it that can be opened by using a lever to the door's left. Several statues of Bowser Jr. are placed around this planet. A few enemies are encountered on this planet, such as Dry Bones, Astro Goombas, and a Thwomp. A Magikoopa is also seen protecting the Bowser Jr. gate. The Comet Medal can be found above the Thwomp. There is a shortcut to reach Gobblegut's planet faster if the player long jumps off the right tower on top of the castle.

Like the Starting Planet, this planet is surrounded by lava. It is medium-sized planet with a lot of Firebars. There are a couple of Goombas on here and a Magikoopa that spawns Round Goombas is also found on here. There is also a Tip Network on the planet.

After using the Launch Star leading from the Lava Planet, the player ends up on this spherical, brown crater planet. Bowser Jr. appears in his Robot Cockpit, before summoning Gobblegut to fight the player. The planet is made entirely of dirt and has many crater-like holes.
