A '''meteorite''' is a rocky object found in outer space. It makes a notable appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as an item that [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) can use to his advantage. These round meteorites are gold and have the [[Ground-Pound Switch]] symbol on them. To use a meteorite, Mario simply has to [[jump]] into the air near one, which automatically attracts him via its gravitational pull. Once on the meteorite, Mario must position himself in exactly the right place and then perform a [[Ground Pound]] to launch it toward a target. This simple action enables Mario to forcefully hit objects that are much larger than he is. He must first use meteorites to break apart large stone locks blocking the way through giant doors in several [[Bowser]] levels. Later, Mario must actually use them during Bowser battles to attack Bowser. He must hit him with meteorites four times to defeat him (in the final battle, Mario must hit Bowser eight times instead). However, if Mario is not able to ground-pound a meteorite quickly enough during a Bowser battle, it will lose its golden color and turn black, after which it will crumble and disappear. Meteorites first appear in [[Bowser's Lava Lair]] and later in [[Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet]] and [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]] respectively.

The symbol on the meteorites is not emblazoned to the rocks themselves and therefore can move if the target moves (it always faces away from the target). This is easiest seen in the second phase of the final Bowser fight, as Bowser moves frequently. Meteorites are Mario's only footing there (and therefore never break until triggered).
