Template:Species-infobox Twirlips[1] are enemies that appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their name is a combination of the words twirl, describing their motion, and tulip, describing their appearance, which resembles that of real-world tulips. At first glance, they appear as white bud shaped creatures that resemble onions with two beady eyes. To attack, they turn into a pink flower with a yellow center and quickly spin around the area like a drill. They do this from time to time.

While twirling, Twirlips can only be damaged by stomping on their heads, which makes the Twirlip drop a Coin. In their bud form, Mario or Luigi can use any attack method to defeat them, which will make the Twirlip drop 3 Star Bits unless stomped. Yoshi can also eat a Twirlip, but only while it is in bud form. In some Galaxies, Twirlips can also be found on a Bonus Planet. When shot by a Star Bit from the cursor, they get stunned in place for a moment.

In their opened form, Twirlips can actually defeat another Twirlip when the latter is stopped by a Co-Star Luma and the two Twirlips collide.
