Well if your argument is that affecting the surface of a planet is a planetary level feat then
Krakatoa causing a global volcanic winter
temporarily fucking up the night sky globally
it allegedly causing unusual waves in South Africa and the English Channel
it causing a pressure wave circling the globe three and a half times;
all this should apparently put it at the lower end of a planetary level feat using the logic of "it affected the surface of the planet!"
As far as I'm concerned, simultaneously affecting the entire surface of a planet, a tiny fraction of a planet's actual mass, is not a planetary level feat. It's a multi continental level feat. Planetary level should either partially or entirely destroy the actual mass of a planet.
You want something that fucked up the surface of planet big time? Okay, K-Pg extinction event, the asteroid that killed the non-avian dinosaurs along with an estimated 75% of life. That is far more devastating than Mother Flame.
It left behind a crater 200 kilometers (120 miles) in diameter and 30 kilometers (19 miles) in depth.

If a Dragon Ball character left a crater that big, would we call that sassenach planetary level?
No, we feckin wouldn't because that is not what people are talking about when they talk about planetary level characters. They are talking about blokes destroying planets, not leaving big craters and affecting the weather.
Mother Frame left a small island sized crater and did some global earthquakes. That's not planetary.
