Ball Beamers[1][2] are mechanical enemies with nuts on top of them that appear in Super Mario Galaxy and its Nintendo Switch port. They are immobile, and periodically discharge circular shockwaves that travel around the circumference of the planet, damaging Mario or Luigi if he touches them. Ball Beamers appear on opposite sides of spherical planets in the Buoy Base Galaxy (all missions) and Deep Dark Galaxy ("Bubble Blastoff"). One in the Buoy Base Galaxy has a gold screw through its nut, which can be unscrewed by Mario or Luigi to open the inside of the planet it is stationed on. The other ones are unable to be directly affected by the player.
