Trivia
- There is a glitch in this galaxy where one can triple jump onto the cage with the 1-Up Mushroom on the Starting Planet and Star Spin at the height of the jump to actually fall on to the Lava Planet, similar the one in Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor; However, unlike the latter when the player lands on the solid planet where Megaleg was, since Mario or Luigi will fall nowhere near where the launch star would take him, the player has no choice but to lose a life by bouncing on the lava.[citation needed]
