Major Burrows

Major Burrows is a boss in the game Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. He lives on one of the planets of the Gusty Garden Galaxy and is the leader of the Undergrunts that wrecked havoc there. When first encountered, he is chasing a Star Rabbit. He also reappears as a returning boss in Super Mario Galaxy 2, in the Boss Blitz Galaxy.

Appearance
Major Burrows simply resembles a large, brown Undergrunt Gunner. He wears a blue Spiny Shell as a helmet (which he also uses to burrow back into the ground). He is also shown to have light blue eyes that are often times dilated when his expression changes. He has long white eyebrows similar to Bowser's, and large rounded cheeks. He also has three whiskers on each side of his snout. When angry, Major Burrows's blue helmet turns red, and his eyes are golden yellow with no visible eyeballs.

Major Burrows also appears in the Super Mario Galaxy Trading Cards.

Super Mario Galaxy
This battle practices ground pounding and spinning. Major Burrows appears in the Gusty Garden Galaxy's level "The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows" where he is chasing a Star Rabbit around a large tree. At the start of the boss battle, Major Burrows ignores Mario and continues pursuing the helpless Star Bunny. Mario must Ground Pound somewhere near him, when Major Burrows pops up half way out of the ground to stun him. While stunned, Mario must then Star Spin Major Burrows, causing the major to lose a life. Major Burrows will then turn his attention towards Mario and start chasing him, instead of the Star Bunny. Mario must do the same thing again two more times. However, after Mario preforms a ground pound, Major Burrows will run away once he's been stunned, forcing Mario to chase after him. For the final time, Major Burrows will turn red out of frustration and chase Mario at a faster speed. If Major Burrows is stunned, he will retreat back underground and come back fully restored, furiously charging at Mario. Mario will have to do another ground pound, which will cause Major Burrows to run away just like he did the second time. After a final star spin, he'll be defeated and will release a Power Star.

The player faces Major Burrows again, with the second fight being part of the Daredevil Comet run. The battle is the exact same thing, except the player only has one life, instead of three or six.

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Major Burrows reappears in Super Mario Galaxy 2. He is the third boss Mario fights in the Boss Blitz Galaxy. His battle is exactly the same as the one from Super Mario Galaxy.
