Burn Bits are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy, and are the fiery counterparts of Brr Bits. To defeat one, Mario must use a Spin to put out the flame surrounding it, and it will fall to the ground stunned just like any other enemy. If the player is not quick to hit the Burn Bit while it is vulnerable, it will start to hop around, attempting to jump in the lava and regenerate its flame. Shooting Star Bits at it has the same effect as spinning it.

With their flame, Burn Bits resemble Podoboos with white eyes.

They return in the sequel Super Mario Galaxy 2. They appear in the Freezy Flake Galaxy, Battle Belt Galaxy,and Mario Squared Galaxy. They behave the same as they did in the prequel.
