The '''Topmen''', collectively known as the '''Topman tribe''', are a tribe of robot enemies that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They resemble tops and are always spinning, trying to attack [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]). They appear in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]], [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. They travel throughout space in top-shaped flying saucers and are led by [[Topmaniac]]. The Topmen have also been seen in a ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' competition in Wi-Fi, exclusively in the [[Galaxy Colosseum]] course. They are very weak to electricity, as spinning them into electric currents instantly defeats them (with the exception of Topmaniac).

There are three types of Topmen. [[Topmini]]s are little yellow ones that reflect the player off if the player touches one. They can be defeated by [[spin]]ning into them. There are also green ones called [[Spring Topman|Spring Topmen]] that are bigger than the Topminis that the player can [[jump]] off like a spring. The third Topman is called the [[Spiky Topman]], which is the same size as the Spring Topman. The player cannot jump on Spiky Topmen due to the large spikes on their heads.

All three types make a small appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the [[Space Storm Galaxy]].

Topmen act similarly to the [[Bully]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They act in the same manner and have the same powers, both not able to hurt Mario with their normal body slams, although Topmen can damage Mario if he touches the spikes on their heads. Like Bullies, they push Mario into something more dangerous, like freezing water, electricity or lava.

Like Bullies, they push Mario into something more dangerous, such as [[freezing water]], electricity, or [[lava]], and can be defeated by pushing them in instead. Topmen appear to be based on Japanese spinning tops known as ''{{wp|beigoma|bēgoma}}'', where two spinning tops "fight" each other.
