'''Torpedo Teds''' are | '''Torpedo Teds''' are anthropomorphic torpedoes that are dropped by [[Torpedo Base]]s underwater. Their designs are similar to that of [[Bullet Bill]]s: they have similar white arms and the same jet-black coloration, though their appearance is distinguished by a smug grin, eyes squinted shut, and a propeller on their thruster. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and have made uncommon appearances since then. Due to Mario's inability to stomp on enemies underwater and the Bullet Bill species' resistance to fire, Torpedo Teds are usually tough, if not invincible enemies, and thus must be avoided. | ||

They are dropped by gloved arms protruding out of Torpedo Bases, the Torpedo Ted equivalent of Bill Blasters. Torpedo Teds move in a straight line, and they are dropped in the direction of where the player is at. Torpedo Teds travel at a relatively quick speed, and they are invincible. | ||
Hacking the game has shown that Torpedo Teds can be defeated with thrown objects or a [[Super Star]]. However, as it falls off the screen, the sprite of a defeated Torpedo Ted is still able to damage the player. | |||

Like the Bullet Bills featured in this game, they home in on players rather than travel in a straight line, but unlike them, they make a beeping noise based on how close they are to Mario. They can be defeated either as [[Rainbow Mario]] or by causing them to crash into an object. Torpedo Teds do not reappear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. | ||

Torpedo Teds make their series debut in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' as an obstacle in [[Blooper Blastoff]]. They are fired out from Torpedo Bases, and players must avoid them while they are traversing to the surface. When players hit a Torpedo Ted, they spin out for one second. | |||
