Melty Monster Galaxy - The Magnificent Magma Sea

Welcome Back to the Galaxy!
This galaxy's name sounds a whole lot like Melty Molten from Galaxy. There is an equally large amount of lava here, but the music is different. It sounds like a grand adventure, like Indiana Jones. This is one of the times the power of the orchestra comes through. Also thrown in are the 6 notes that let you know you're playing Galaxy. We land on a platform and see several Blaargs on lava spheres. They will come up periodically to gobble whatever's in their path. We must use Pull Stars to cross over the spheres and dodge the Blaargs. There was some difficulty reaching the Launch Star, but we make it, launching two times before reaching the midgate. There is a lava wave pool with Podoboos. I take a hit from a Podoboo and die from the lava.
Take 2- I take two hits from the lava. The lower platforms will be covered in lava once a wave comes. I get a much needed Life Shroom between some flagpoles. We go across all of the platforms and flagpoles. I take a hit from a Podoboo. We have to go across rotating platforms and dodge a Blaarg. We trip the midgate and see tornadoes. Tornadoes were in Dusty Dunes Galaxy in Galaxy, so we can savely travel with them and spin to fly away like a helicopter. We reach a swing which helps us reach the Launch Star.
We launch to a new area with several spheres. There are several lava monsters marching around the planet. They pass through the spheres, so we have to time our crossing. The Comet Medal is on a sphere. The unsafe spheres are scorched black and the safe ones are stone gray. I take a hit from a monster on a gray sphere because I was on the edge and in its path. We reach the Star trapped in crystal near the end, free it, and it flies to another sphere. I take another hit from a monster and it knocks me onto the sphere the Star is one. The monsters also drown out the "Star is free" music.
Star Get #59, 34 Comet Medals, 388 Star Bits, 1308 Coins, 11 Lives
Interlude
A Comet appears in Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker. Lubba mentions we have another hungry mouth to feed. He hopes we know what we're doing. Another dice Luma appears in the green pipe in the Faceship's left ear. He wants 100 Coins for 5 dice spins. While on the deck, we can see and hear objects rushing into the black hole.
