Crate Burning is a minigame playable in Super Mario Galaxy 2, along with Fluzzard Gliding and Star Ball Rolling. As the name implies, it involves Fire Mario or Fire Luigi burning the Crates on the arena. The minigames can only be played in Rightside Down Galaxy in the mission "The Great Crate Incinerator", and in Upside Dizzy Galaxy in the mission "Burning Upside Dizzy". The objective of the minigame is to use the Fire Flower abilities (the effects last for the entire minigame) to burn all the crates on the arena (a similar arena to the Bob-omb Blasting minigames from the first game) within the time limit of twenty seconds. If all of the crates are burned before time's up, the Gearmo rewards Mario or Luigi with a Power Star. Losing the minigame doesn't result in losing a life.

Trivia

  • Interestingly, this minigame is found only in galaxies based around multiple areas of frequent gravity-switching. This is parallel to Super Mario Galaxy's Bob-omb Blasting minigame only appearing in the Battlerock Galaxy and the Dreadnought Galaxy, which share common characteristics as industrial-themed galaxies.
