Melty Molten Galaxy - The Sinking Lava Spire

Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land on a lava-filled planet where the Melty Molten music plays. We walk around lava pools and avoid steam vents. We jump across the lava, timing our jump to avoid the lava pillars that appear when we approach. Next are the tilting and bobbing grate platforms in the lava. We jump from the green ramp to a large rock formation. We avoid the steam vents and pound a rock to drop a rock formation so we can wall-jump, after the steam vents release some steam. At the top of the rock, we sling to the side of the volcano, then sling to the Launch Star at the mouth of the volcano. We drop down into the volcano and pound the switch for Star Bits as the lava level rises. We sling back up and launch as the volcano erupts behind us. We sling immediately and land on a clear sphere. One of the clear spheres has a hungry Luma, who wants 80 Star Bits. We don't have enough, so we move on. There are Pull Stars for us to navigate the large spheres that are like small suns and stars. We get a Life Shroom and avoid the flares. In quick succession, we launch twice. Flying over the lava, we collect the Star Bits at the lava's surface. There's a disc in the lava that we sling from to a solid lava core. We collect the Launch Star Chips, killing the fiery enemies.
We then launch to the spire, which is surrounded by a rock "fence". Leading up to the spire are rocks that tilt away into the lava. Once we land on the spire, the ground starts shaking, the "fence" falls away, and the lava starts rising. We have to climb to the top of the spire where the Star awaits. We go around to the right, waiting for the red crystal to drop. We pass boulders that roll into the lava. Pounding the stone switch makes a rock wall drop down so we can wall-jump up. We must do this quickly, as the lava keeps rising while the rock falls. We walk around to the left and wall-jump off the wood to reach the top. We break the crystal and a fire enemy pushes us into the Star.

A hungry Luma appears.

Luigi
We sling to and launch from the volcano. After getting the Life Shroom, we launch three times to the spire. We lost our Life Shroom to the lava, but got the Star.
