Shiverburn Galaxy

Shiverburn Galaxy is a galaxy appearing in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is similar to the Freezeflame Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy, as it revolves around the elements of fire and ice. Octoombas and Elite Octoombas are common enemies here.

The planet is completely covered in lava and is U-shaped. There is a volcano in the middle of the planet. The planet features platforms that slowly sink in the lava if the player stands on them. There is a platform that takes the player to a Cloud Flower. However, the player can use the Cloud Flower nearby to get to the other Cloud Flower. Many Octoombas and Elite Octoombas try to hurt the player. Spiked Sentry Beams try to electrocute the player by shooting out an electric ring around it. There is a switch in the middle of a platform that instantly freezes the lava so the player walk on it. Near the end of the planet, the player can either take the Launch Star to the Lava Planet or the pipe behind it to the Underground Ice Rink.

This area is only accessed during The Chimp's Ultimate Skating Challenge mission. It is basically 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.

The planet is basically one huge ball of magma. There are rock platforms that float around in a circular manner to help the player get across. Many Octoombas are on the platforms, though. If the player stays on the platforms for too long, they will be dragged into the lava. 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 and the platforms are smaller. There is another 1-Up Mushroom found at the end. The Launch Star will take the player to the Icy Hot Planet. The Comet Medal is also near the Launch Star.

The 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. At the end of the path, the player will need to defeat five Octopuses in order to proceed. At then next part, ice 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.

This is a generally small planet. It is completely covered in ice and is has a close resemblance to a peanut shape. There is a fence around it so the player will not fall off. Prince Pikante is fought on this planet. This planet is also used as the sole planet for the Octo-Army Icy Rainbow Romp, where many different Octoombas appear. However, during the said mission, there is no fence.

Prince Pikante's Peppery Mood
The player lands on a sinking platform on the Starting Planet. The player should jump on a moving platform while trying not to fall into the lava or get hit by an Octoomba's rock. When the platform is acrtivated after the player lands on it, it starts to move towards a Cloud Flower. Once the player becomes Cloud Mario/Luigi, the switch is visible in the distance. Ground Pounding the switch freezes the lava and allows the player to skate on it. On the way to the Launch Star, there are Elite Octoombas and Spiked Sentry Beams. At the Lava Planet, the player should traverse circling platforms. As the player progresses, the platforms get smaller. The Launch Star takes the player to the Icy Hot Planet. The player needs to skate along the path while avoiding meteors and Elite Ocotoombas. The player can get a Life Mushroom by breaking open the Item Crystal. The player then needs to defeat five Octopuses and 3 Elite Octoombas to progress. In the next part, the player needs to wait for the ice crystals to make safe platforms over lava in order to progress.

The Launch Star should take the player to a Starshroom with a Midway Point and Lumalee. The Launch Star on the Starshroom takes the player to Prince Pikante. The player needs to bash him with three coconuts. After Pikante's defeat, the Power Star appears and the player receives the star.

The Romp Comet must be in orbit in order to select this mission. The player has fifty seconds to defeat twenty-five Octoombas and five Octoguys on Prince Pikante's Planet using the Rainbow Star. There are no edges on the planet, so the player should be careful not to get too close to the edge. Skating is needed to complete this within the time limit.

Trivia

 * On the missions Prince Pikante's Peppery Mood and Octo-Army Icy Rainbow Romp, if the player uses first-person view and looks up at the glacier cliffs in the scenery, three figures can be seen watching Mario. As he progress through the first mission, they seem to follow him (this happens because they are in the background). The texture for these creatures is known as "HellValleySkyTree", associated with the sky model "BeyondHellValleySky". The three figures also appear in Grandmaster Galaxy in the Pull Star Planet. They cannot be reached by hacking; if Mario attempts to use a flying cheat and go to them, he will lose a life. The cliffs are pre-rendered, making it impossible to get closer to them. The figures resemble a Kodama, a spirit from Japanese folklore said to live in certain trees on the inner reaches of the mountains. Chopping down a tree that houses a Kodama is said to bring bad luck. Nintendo has not revealed what these strange figures are, but similar figures can be seen in parts of Super Mario 3D Land.
