'''Mandibugs'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' Official [[Prima Games]] eGuide, page 28.</ref> are beetle-like [[enemies]] found solely in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They infested the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]] and are led by [[Bugaboom]]. They are apparently unfriendly neighbors of the [[Bee]]s, and they take over the Bees' observation tower in the mission "Trouble on the Tower". One can be defeated by executing a [[Ground Pound]] on its back. Along with the Honeyhive Galaxy, Mandibugs appear in a handful of other locations, including the [[Honeyclimb Galaxy]] and on [[Airship]]s. They attack [[Mario]] by chasing and harming him with their mandibles. Mandibugs later appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', where they appear in the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]]. Their leader, Bugaboom, makes a reappearance in the Puzzle Plank Galaxy's hidden [[Power Star|Star]]. | |||
