Zap Nozzles[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are the yellow versions of the Water Shooter and Fire Shooter, with, like the others, nozzles similar to F.L.U.D.D.'s nozzle. Zap Nozzles appear in the Space Storm Galaxy in the mission "Follow Me, Bob-omb" in the Electric Field Area where the player uses the Pull Stars. Zap Nozzles shoot homing orbs of electricity at Mario or Luigi. If one hits him, it causes him to fall and lose a wedge of health, and possibly fall into the black hole (the player can still quickly grab a Pull Star to stop Mario or Luigi from falling). The electric orbs are the same ones that the Undergrunt Gunner in the Toy Time Galaxy and the Boomsday Machine in Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker shoot out. Prior to shooting, Zap Nozzles tend to charge up and glow, thus making it easy to predict their firing pattern.

Naming[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The English name "Zap Nozzle" was first published on the English version of Mario Portal in 2022. It alludes to the enemy's visual likeness to the Squirt Nozzle from Super Mario Sunshine. The English edition of the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia refers to the enemy as the "Electric Pressure."[2] Because this was the name for the enemy's article on the Super Mario Wiki from 2016 to 2022, the application of this name in the encyclopedia is potentially a consequence of circular reporting.
