- —Gearmo during "The Floating Fortress", Super Mario Galaxy
Water Shooters are enemies appearing in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They look like and function in a very similar manner to the Squirt Nozzle used by FLUDD in Super Mario Sunshine, though Water Shooters are blue, while FLUDD is yellow, and the water produced is in the form of a bubble, rather than a spray. These bubbles, while harmless, capture Mario or Luigi and whisk him away on contact, generally serving as a hindrance, but occasionally are used to transport the player elsewhere. If Mario or Luigi is caught in a bubble, using the spin breaks him out.
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
Water Shooters first appear in Super Mario Galaxy. Sometimes, they are not active until a certain goal is achieved, while some in the Buoy Base Galaxy are deactivated by spinning a valve. Since their bubbles count as water, Bee Mario and Boo Mario are reverted to normal Mario if caught in them.
Water Shooters appear in the following list of galaxies. If no mission is stated, Water Shooters appear during all missions:
- Honeyhive Galaxy ("Big Bad Bugaboom")
- Buoy Base Galaxy
- Sand Spiral Galaxy
- Deep Dark Galaxy ("Bubble Blastoff", "Boo in a Box")
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Water Shooters return in Super Mario Galaxy 2. In the Space Storm Galaxy's second mission, they move abnormally fast, like most other obstacles in the mission, and can be slowed down with a blue switch. Bee Mario and Cloud Mario get reverted to normal Mario if caught in their bubbles.
Water Shooters appear in the following list of galaxies. If no mission is stated, Water Shooters appear during all missions:
- Starshine Beach Galaxy ("Climbing the Cloudy Tower")
- Honeyhop Galaxy
- Space Storm Galaxy ("To the Top of Topman's Tower")
