Freezeflame Galaxy

The Freezeflame Galaxy is a galaxy in the game Super Mario Galaxy. It features the Fire Flower and the Ice Flower. It has a water and ice area, and a fire and lava area. This is also where Baron Brrr resides. The galaxy appears to be split into three large planets. One is made up of water and ice, the second of fire and lava, and the third one is a combination of both with a rock-like core. There are also two minor planetoids, one that decides which planet Mario goes to, and one that features paths of lava and paths of ice and is also where Cosmic Mario is raced, but without the lava.

Ice Ring Planet
The starting planet. It is a thin ring of ice with several ice crystals and stone stumps. Two rolling boulders move along the inner side of the ring. Later in the game, this planet becomes infused with fire and lava, making it more difficult to get around.

Freezy Peak


This is a large planet that consists of a very high mountain with three levels of freezing lakes. There is an ice slide at the beginning of the level and a second, secret one above the first lake. After the three lakes there are several icy cliffs that Mario must scale in order to reach the summit. Baron Brrr resides on the third level of the of the mountain.

Lava Core Planet
This planet is a big round sphere of cooled magma, through which runs a large fissure filled with hot lava. On top of that lies what appears to be a ruined civilization that is now filled with Red Urchins and Burn Bits.

Hot and Cold Planet
This is a big green ball with two circular openings that connect with a small passageway. One of the openings is filled with freezing water and the other is burning lava. The tides on each side correspond with each other depending on how high one of the tides are.

Ice and Lava Platform Planets
These are actually many small non-gravitational platforms made of pure ice or lava. There is also several rock platforms with snow on them, these serve as resting platforms. Later in the game, the lava ones are transformed into ice.

The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr
Mario starts off on a icy donut shaped platform. After talking to a Penguin, he must utilize his ice skating abilities to catch it. The Penguin allows Mario to use his Launch Star and comments on how he has a small chance of surviving. Once Mario uses the Launch Star, he has to ascend to the summit of the icy mountain. Mario had to stay away from the water on the planet, as it was freezing cold and would gradually drain his life. Mario also had to avoid to freezing Brrr Bits. Using the Ice Flower's power, he could walk on freezing water and stand on broken water pipes. Once the Mario got to the top, he would have to fight Baron Brrr and take the Power Star as his prize.

Freezeflame's Blistering Core
Again, Mario starts off on the donut-shaped planetoid, but this time he must collect all five Star Chips frozen in various parts of the icy donut planet. After using the Launch Star, Mario ends up in the molten core planet of the Freeezeflame Galaxy. On this planet, Mario must be cautious of the red Urchins rolling around here and the fireballs springing from the lava. Once the Mario obtains the Fire Flower, he will gain the ability to shoot fire, allowing him to defeat red Urchins and light torches. Every time Mario lit a pair of torches, a new path would open for him. A new enemy is featured deeper in this level named Burn Bits, which are essentially the same as Brr Bits except that they were cloaked in fire. At the end of the stage, Mario had to light two torches to open the cage holding the Power Star.

Hot and Cold Collide
Mario starts on the same doughnut, but now it is covered in fire. The player then goes to a planet with both fire and water, the latter of which rises and falls with the tides. When the player lights the torches with the Fire Flower, they will go to some platforms in the sky. It is only possible to step on ice so the Ice Flower is needed to get the Power Star.

Frosty Cosmic Mario/Luigi Race (Cosmic Comet)
This level is playable when a Cosmic Comet is in orbit. The level takes place on the same platforms from "Hot and Cold Collide", but this time it's all ice while Mario or Luigi race their cosmic counterpart. The player must skate to keep up and win the race against their cosmic self.

Purple Coins on the Summit (Purple Comet)
This level is playable when a Purple Comet is in orbit. The player needs to collect all 100 Purple Coins up the mountain to the area Baron Brrr was once found, and then proceed to the Summit.

Conquering the Summit
The player starts as on The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr, but instead of venturing off forwards after the broken water pipes, Ice Mario must continue to a second set of pipes. A successful triple-jump (or backwards somersault) up the pipes leads to a platform with a Sling Star, leading to the other side of the mountain. After destroying several snowmen, Mario finds the hidden Star of the Freezeflame Galaxy at the very top of the peak.

Trivia

 * There is a glitch that allows Luigi to explore the surface of the hot and cold planet. Luigi needs to do a triple jump right on the connecting ramp and wall jump off the lip of the wall.
 * The galaxy's name is presumably a spoof of "freeze frame".
 * When Mario or Luigi flies or crosses from the icy area to the fire area, the style of the music changes to match the environment.
 * A galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, called Shiverburn Galaxy, resembles this galaxy.
