Bolts[1] (also called screws)[2] are spinnable objects in Super Mario Galaxy. They are embedded into the terrain of industrialized galaxies, such as the Battlerock Galaxy and Buoy Base Galaxy. Performing a spin while on top of a bolt embeds it into the ground and triggers a nearby event.

There are varieties: a blue screw[3] with a Phillips head, and a gold screw[4][5] (also called a golden bolt,[6] yellow screw,[7] and golden screw[4]) with a slotted head. Both bolts often appear together in the same galaxies. During Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser, blue and gold screws are embedded into the body of Mecha-Bowser. Unscrewing them causes its body to fall apart. In the Buoy Base Galaxy, a gold screw is attached to a Ball Beamer and disengages it when spun.

Bolts are very similar to valves.
