The '''Melty Molten Galaxy''' is a [[galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and the last major galaxy to be unlocked in a dome. It is quite a large galaxy, made completely of lava and rock. It is situated between two stars, a red one and a light purple one, with large streams of plasma pouring from the former to the latter.  There are many [[Launch Star]]s here, allowing Mario to traverse the massive planet. There are also some small planetoids around it. This is the only galaxy that has [[Star Chip]]s in all three missions and the comet mission. This is one of the two galaxies to feature the theme for the Speedy and Daredevil Comets in a non-comet mission, the other being the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]].

The theme to this song is in the key of D {{wp|Phrygian mode|Phrygian}}, which is used to produce melancholic and dark sounding compositions.

This area is a large disk of lava connected to the main planet. It contains a small volcano called [[Mt. Molten]] with two large platforms on either side of it. Both have various obstacles and enemies. Small steel platforms make a path between the two platforms. The volcano has a switch inside that makes the lava rise and release [[Star Bit]]s.

[[File:SMG Melty Molten Volcano.png|thumb|left|Mario as he blasts off from the volcano]]
The Volcano is a volcanic area found in the Melty Molten Galaxy. There is a [[Launch Star]] above it, but if [[Mario]] drops into the volcano, there is a ground-pound switch on a rock floor at the bottom, which causes star bits to appear. However, the volcano will erupt fifteen seconds after Mario activates the switch, so he will have to use a [[Sling Star]] at the bottom to get out. In the [[Purple Coin]] mission ([[Melty Molten Galaxy#Red Hot Purple Coins|Red Hot Purple Coins]]), there are purple coins down the sides of and inside of the Volcano Area. One coin in this mission is placed on top of a small lava ring inside the volcano, requiring a health slice to reach it, unless the player uses a good timed [[spin]] or a Long Jump.

These are a collection of six small lava planets and three small glass planets. Mario must navigate his way through these planets via [[Pull Star]]s avoiding solar arcs that will knock him off the Pull Star path and take him into their gravity fields causing Mario to bounce across the lava surface. In the Daredevil Run, Mario needs to wait for these arcs to pass or he will be hit and lose a life.

These are two hardening planets made of magma and cooled lava. They are home to several [[Li'l Cinder]]s. Beside them lies a crashed saucer that serves as a starting platform. Strangely, these planets have their own gravity even though they are embedded in the main planet's surface.

These are two hardening planets made of magma and cooled lava. One spins and the other does not. They are home to several [[Li'l Cinder]]s. Beside them lies a crashed [[Topman]] [[UFO]] that serves as a starting platform; another one, tipped over and scorched, is seen later, but not used as a platform. These planets have their own gravity even though they are embedded in the main planet's surface. These UFOs are a reference to an earlier version of the game. [[Topmaniac]] was originally planned to be fought in this galaxy, but the idea was eventually scrapped.<ref>Game Developer's Conference 2007 Super Mario Galaxy Trailer [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GJx9DSJFvTU]</ref>

[[File:SMG Sinking Lava Spire.png|200px|thumb|Mario flies to the Lava Spire]]
The Formation Planets are a large rock formation surrounded by other large rock formations that are intertwined. The spire is also home to many Burn Bits. On top of the spire, a [[Power Star]] is incased in a large ice crystal that Mario must get to. When Mario steps on the spire, it begins to sink and now he must run up the spire or be engulfed by the lava. There is a shortcut at the beginning of the spire that leads Mario halfway up and gets him a [[1-Up Mushroom]].

This planet is a large U-shaped planet of cooled magma with stone built onto it to make it like a tower from a castle. The inside of the planet is made out of hot magma. On one side of the planet, there is a [[Launch Star]] that leads to the next planet. On the other side of the planet, there is a double-sided [[Bill Blaster]] that will try to stop Mario from continuing.

This area is made up of many lava panels, four stone panels, and a humoungus tunnel of lava. The tunnel has many holes in it that Mario can fall through to his death. Mario must roll on the [[Rolling Ball]] to the finish line so he could receive the Power Star. There is a shortcut Mario can take to avoid the moving lava platforms: he can jump to the stone platform with a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. Jumping on this platform will cause the ball to slow down, so the player must roll the ball near the back edge of the platform, build up momentum, and jump. It saves the time of going over the moving lava platforms.

This planet is the home to the fiery [[Dino Piranha]]. Mario first arrives on the planet as he lands on the Dino Piranha egg and cracks it, which makes a slight crack on the egg. After Mario spins the ball at the end of the tail, the Dino Piranha breaks out of its egg and tries to attack Mario. Mario is rewarded with a Power Star after he defeats Dino Piranha.

The lava has a tide that the low tide reveal a network of paths, which Mario could advance through, and lava would cover up the path when it is a high tide. Mario must scuttle across the planet, avoiding high tides and Burn Bits to retrieve five [[Silver Star]]s and get the Power Star.

===The Sinking Lava Spire===
{|width=100% cellspacing=0 border=1 #88a cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse;background:ghostwhite"
[[Mario]] starts out in the fire cauldron area, which he has to cross completely and get to the Launch Star at the top of the volcano. Mario can let himself fall into the volcano at this point, where he can get many [[Star Bit]]s. As Mario leaves the volcano, it erupts. On little sphere capsules in the sky over the lava planet Mario meets a [[Hungry Luma]]. He has to use [[Pull Star]]s to get around miniature suns on his way through the sky. He then returns to the planet and has to search [[Star Chip]]s to get to the Lava Spire, a mountain which begins to sink. Mario then must get to the top of the mountain quickly and smash the [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|Crystal]] to gain the [[Power Star]].

In this mission, [[Meteor]]s are constantly falling from the sky. [[Mario]] must constantly avoid them or they will burn Mario. Near the end of the mission, a part similar to [[Rolling Green Galaxy]] must be completed where Mario must ride a [[Star Ball]] to the end of a lava covered course without falling through the holes in the tunnel. Once Mario is at the end of the course, the [[Star Ball]] will break, giving Mario the [[Power Star]].

In this level, [[Mario]] must battle a [[Fiery Dino Piranha|fiery version]] of the first boss, [[Dino Piranha]]. The fiery version is faster, and Mario is only able to hit its tail when it is not on fire, which gets increasingly difficult because the flame goes out quicker and makes a flaming trail after a couple of hits.

==Gallery==
[[Mario]] must feed a [[Hungry Luma]] eighty [[Star Bit]]s to create a new planet where there are five [[Silver Stars]] he must collect. The only sections of land on the planet are constantly being submerged by searing lava, and the player must therefore make sure to stay in the higher areas until the lava level lowers and it's safe to walk to the next part. The white areas are always safe. Once Mario has gotten all five Silver Stars, the resulting [[Power Star]] will appear on a lower area of the ground, so Mario must wait until it is safe to grab the Star.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Melty Molten Galaxy has the distinction of being the only galaxy in the game that contains a [[Daredevil Comet]] level where a boss is not fought, despite the fact that this galaxy features [[Fiery Dino Piranha]] as a boss. This is also the only Daredevil Comet where the entire level needs to be completed.
*This is the only galaxy to feature the [[Star Ball|Rolling Ball]] but not have the word "Rolling" in its name, due to the Rolling Ball being a minor part of the galaxy, rather than the central focus.
*A galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' called the [[Melty Monster Galaxy]] greatly resembles this galaxy.
 
*The Small Glass and Lava Planets in this galaxy are extremely similar in appearance to the [[Space Junk Galaxy#Orb Planets|Orb Planets]] from the [[Space Junk Galaxy]], only slightly smaller.
==References==
*Along with [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]], this is the only galaxy to play the hurry theme in a non-comet mission. Also, the hurry theme is still played when landed on the Lava Spire during the Daredevil Comet mission, which has the same theme.
<references/>
*This is the only galaxy to have [[Star Chips]] in all three missions and the comet mission.
 
*The saucers found in Melty Molten Galaxy are a reference to the beta of the game. [[Topmaniac]] was originally planned to be fought in this galaxy, but the idea was eventually scrapped.

The Melty Molten Galaxy is a galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, and the last major galaxy to be unlocked in a dome. It is quite a large galaxy, made completely of lava and rock. It is situated between two stars, a red one and a light purple one, with large streams of plasma pouring from the former to the latter. There are many Launch Stars here, allowing Mario to traverse the massive planet. There are also some small planetoids around it. This is the only galaxy that has Star Chips in all three missions and the comet mission. This is one of the two galaxies to feature the theme for the Speedy and Daredevil Comets in a non-comet mission, the other being the Dusty Dune Galaxy.

The theme to this song is in the key of D Phrygian, which is used to produce melancholic and dark sounding compositions.

Planets/Areas[edit]

Note: Unless otherwise stated, all planet names are unofficial.

Starting Planet[edit]

This area is a large disk of lava connected to the main planet. It contains a small volcano with two large platforms on either side of it. Both have various obstacles and enemies. Small steel platforms make a path between the two platforms. The volcano has a switch inside that makes the lava rise and release Star Bits.

Volcano[edit]

The Volcano is a volcanic area found in the Melty Molten Galaxy. There is a Launch Star above it, but if Mario drops into the volcano, there is a ground-pound switch on a rock floor at the bottom, which causes Star Bits to appear. However, the volcano will erupt ten seconds after Mario activates the switch, so he will have to use a Sling Star at the bottom to get out. In the Purple Coin mission (Red Hot Purple Coins), there are purple coins down the sides of and inside of the Volcano Area. One coin in this mission is placed on top of a small lava ring inside the volcano, requiring a health slice to reach it, unless the player uses a good timed spin or a Long Jump.

Small Glass and Lava Planets[edit]

Mario Crossing the Small Glass and Lava Planets

These are a collection of six small lava planets and three small glass planets. Mario must navigate his way through these planets via Pull Stars avoiding solar arcs that will knock him off the Pull Star path and take him into their gravity fields causing Mario to bounce across the lava surface. In the Daredevil Run, Mario needs to wait for these arcs to pass or he will be hit and lose a life.

Hardening Lava Planets[edit]

The Hardening Lava Planets.

These are two hardening planets made of magma and cooled lava. One spins and the other does not. They are home to several Li'l Cinders. Beside them lies a crashed Topman UFO that serves as a starting platform; another one, tipped over and scorched, is seen later, but not used as a platform. These planets have their own gravity even though they are embedded in the main planet's surface. These UFOs are a reference to an earlier version of the game. Topmaniac was originally planned to be fought in this galaxy, but the idea was eventually scrapped.[1]

Lava Spire[edit]

The Formation Planets are a large rock formation surrounded by other large rock formations that are intertwined. The spire is also home to many Li'l Cinders. On top of the spire, a Power Star is incased in a large ice crystal that Mario must get to. When Mario steps on the spire, it begins to sink, so he must run up the spire or be engulfed by the lava. There is a shortcut at the beginning of the spire that leads Mario halfway up and gets him a 1-Up Mushroom.

Thwomp Planet[edit]

The Thwomp Planet.

This planet is a large stone octagon that is covered by three Thwomps, which has a 1-Up Mushroom under the third Thwomp. The core of this planet is a black hole that Mario must avoid.

U Tower Planet[edit]

The U Tower Planet.

This planet is a large U-shaped planet of cooled magma with stone built onto it to make it like a tower from a castle. The inside of the planet is made out of hot magma. On one side of the planet, there is a Launch Star that leads to the next planet. On the other side of the planet, there is a double-sided Bill Blaster that will try to stop Mario from continuing.

Cooled Lava Area[edit]

This is a small network of cooled lava platforms that is home to several Lava Bubbles. Mario must find five Yellow Star Chips to continue.

Lava Ball Rolling Area[edit]

This area is made up of many lava panels, four stone panels, and a humongous tunnel of lava. The tunnel has many holes in it that Mario can fall through to his death. Mario must roll on the Rolling Ball to the finish line so he could receive the Power Star. There is a shortcut Mario can take to avoid the moving lava platforms: he can jump to the stone platform with a 1-Up Mushroom. Jumping on this platform will cause the ball to slow down, so the player must roll the ball near the back edge of the platform, build up momentum, and jump. It saves the time of going over the moving lava platforms.

Steel Platform Area[edit]

The Steel Platform Area

This is a small area with many steel platforms and sling stars. Mario must use the Sling Stars to avoid falling into the lava and dodge the Lava Geysers. At the end of this area, there is Lumalee that Mario could decide to buy either a 1-Up Mushroom or a Life Mushroom for the battle against Dino Piranha.

Disk Planet[edit]

This is a small disk with a spherical lava core. It has several platforms that rotate around the core that Mario must ride and collect five yellow Star Chips to continue to the next planet.

Fiery Dino Piranha Planet[edit]

This planet is the home to the fiery Dino Piranha. Mario first arrives on the planet as he lands on the Dino Piranha egg and cracks it, which makes a slight crack on the egg. After Mario spins the ball at the end of the tail, the Dino Piranha breaks out of its egg and tries to attack Mario. Mario is rewarded with a Power Star after he defeats Dino Piranha.

Lava Sea Planet[edit]

This is a small rock planet with a sea of lava around it, created by feeding a Hungry Luma 80 Star Bits. The lava has a tide that reveals a network of paths when low, which Mario can advance through, but the lava covers up the path when it is a high tide. Mario must scuttle across the planet, avoiding high tides and Burn Bits to retrieve five Silver Stars and get the Power Star.

Trivia[edit]

  • This is the only galaxy to feature the Rolling Ball but not have the word "Rolling" in its name, due to the Rolling Ball being a minor part of the galaxy, rather than the central focus.
