Meteorite

A Meteorite is an object found in the space. It makes a notable appearance in Super Mario Galaxy 2 as an item that Mario can use. These round meteorites are gold and has a spot, similar to those of Ground Pound Switches, that mario can hit to shoot them out at certain target like walls and even bosses. To use a meteorite, Mario simply has to be attracted by the gravity force of the object to step on its surface and then perform a Ground Pound to shoot. Meteorites appeared first in Bowser's Lava Lair, where Mario used them specially in his fight against Giant Bowser.
