In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', '''Ruby Rocks'''<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy/?lang=en Mario Portal,] ''Super Mario Galaxy'' section</ref> roll on open or closed circuits, coming out infinitely out of tunnels in the former case and falling into an abyss afterwards. If [[Mario]] touches them, he is knocked away and loses one wedge of his [[Health Meter]]. Ruby Rocks are semi-common obstacles that appear in several galaxies, including the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. They can be destroyed if Mario [[spin]]s their weak spot, a circular red area. They can also be destroyed if [[Rainbow Mario]] collides with them, a [[rubbery bulb]] is knocked into them, or the second player uses their [[Star Cursor]] to hold one in place, allowing a second Ruby Rock to collide with it, destroying both Ruby Rocks. Upon destruction, Ruby Rocks leave a large number of [[Star Bits]]. Ruby Rocks in this game have some subtle size differentiation in different levels, though one in the underground section of the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]] is especially large. | In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', '''Ruby Rocks''' and '''Big Ruby Rocks'''<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy/?lang=en Mario Portal,] ''Super Mario Galaxy'' section</ref> roll on open or closed circuits, coming out infinitely out of tunnels in the former case and falling into an abyss afterwards.

This time, the Ruby Rocks can also be destroyed by [[Rock Mario]]. The boss of this galaxy, [[Rollodillo]], attacks in the same way as a Ruby Rock, and can be defeated only by using Rock Mario. [[Sorbetti]], the boss of the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]], also uses a similar strategy during the boss battle. | ||
