Bowser's Lava Lair

Bowser's Lava Lair is a galaxy appearing in Super Mario Galaxy 2, and is the final galaxy of World 2. As the name suggests, the galaxy is full of lava. There are also Whomps. Bowser is seen sitting on a throne there, which looks like a castle. To defeat Bowser and win the Grand Star, Mario must hit Bowser's arms three times with meteors when he tries to hit Mario.

The music is again a remix of the song first featured in Super Mario 64, Koopa Road, with a chorus.

Starting Planet
A simple planet with a few columns on the sides and a Magikoopa that spawns Burn Bits with its magic.

Cylindrical Planet
This planet contains some lava and platforms that move over it. On one side of it is a springboard and a Luma.

Fireball Planet
Very similar to the Cylindrical Planet, but with less platforms and several fireballs spinning rapidly on the sides of it.

Lava Planet One
A large planet with surrounded by lava. There are several enemies here, like Whomps and Hammer Bros. The Toad Brigade is also found here. Mario will also find a door with a big lock which he must break by ground pounding meteors. Mario will also encounter some platforms that spin to throw Mario into the lava.

Lava Planet Two
A rather small planet compared to the last one. Also surrounded by lava, there are some Mattermouths and at the end there are two Hammer Bros. just before the big door before the battle.

Bowser Battle Planet
It is a small planet made of black bricks and a few rocks that Mario can break to get coins. Here, he will battle Bowser by ground pouding meteors at him.
