'''Major Burrows''' is a boss in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He lives on one of the planets of the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]] and is the leader of the [[Undergrunt]]s that wreaked havoc there. He also reappears as a returning boss in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', in the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]]. [[Koichi Hayashida]], the director of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', provides the voice for Major Burrows.<ref>Gilbert, Henry (July 25, 2012).

==Appearance==
[[File:Major Burrows Screenshot.png|thumb|200px|left|Major Burrows fighting [[Mario]]]]
Major Burrows is an abnormally large and pudgy, maroon-colored [[Undergrunt]]. He wears a spiked blue helmet that resembles a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], which he also uses to burrow back into the ground. He is also shown to have light blue eyes that either become dilated when his expression changes or disappear when he is stunned. He has long white eyebrows similar to [[Bowser]]'s, and large rounded cheeks. He also has three whiskers on each side of his snout and a big, black nose. He has a large, tannish-colored rounded belly, and a short flesh-colored tail, which serves as Major Burrows's weak spot. Burrows also has long, sharp, black claws that he uses to attack Mario with. When angry, Major Burrows's blue helmet turns red, and his eyes are golden yellow with no visible pupils.

==Battle==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:Angry_Major_Burrows.png|thumb|200px|Major Burrows while angry]]
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Major Burrows appears in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]'s level "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy#The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows|The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows]]" where he is chasing a [[Star Bunny]] around a large tree. Initially, Major Burrows is unaware that Mario (or [[Luigi]]) has landed on his planet; when Mario [[Ground Pound]]s near Major Burrows before [[Spin]]ning into him, he will forget about chasing after the Star Bunny and lock his sights on Mario. When Mario performs a second Ground Pound, Major Burrows will attempt to run away after being stunned. Once Mario has caught up and performed his second Spin, Major Burrows will become very angry and turn red. When Mario stuns Major Burrows for the third time, he will retreat back underground and come back fully restored, while charging furiously at Mario. When Mario performs a fourth and final Ground Pound, Major Burrows will attempt to run away again. When Mario catches up and performs his third and final Spin, Major Burrows will release a [[Power Star]].

The player faces Major Burrows again during the [[Daredevil Comet]] run; this means the player will only have one life point. In the credits, there is a picture of Mario fighting him.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
[[File:Major Burrows SMG2.png|thumb|left|200px|Major Burrows after he is defeated]]
Major Burrows is the third boss Mario fights in the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]]. His battle is exactly the same as the one from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', although there is no [[Star Bunny]] present, and he will release a [[Launch Star]] which leads to [[Bouldergeist]]'s planet instead of a [[Power Star]].

''Holy Mole-y! Major Burrows lives on one of the planets in the Gusty Garden Galaxy, and when Mario first sees him, he is trying to munch on a cute Star Rabbit!
