Mandibug Stack

The Stink Bug Parent is a mini-boss appearing in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. It is a large Mandibug with a smaller Mandibug on its back. It appears in Super Mario Galaxy in the Honeyhive Galaxy mission Trouble on the Tower, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the Puzzle Plank Galaxy mission The Puzzling Picture Block (after the puzzle on the final planet is solved), serving as a sort of mini-boss in both games. To defeat the Stink Bug Parent, Mario or Luigi must first defeat the offspring on top with a Ground Pound. Upon doing so, the Stink Bug Parent will become angry and approach Mario faster than a regular Mandibug. Defeating it reveals the Power Star. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, a variation of the Stink Bug Parent's battle theme is heard when fighting it in Puzzle Plank Galaxy and King Lakitu in Yoshi Star Galaxy, and in Boulder Bowl Galaxy's Prankster Comet mission.
