'''Choppahs''' are a type of enemy appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear as green creatures that lack legs. They have orange spiked helmets and have a propeller around them, giving them the ability to fly. They fly in a vertical straight line in most galaxies. They first appear in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]] as the main obstacles. These enemies later appeared in the [[Sweet Mystery Galaxy]], where they were only seen flying horizontally, [[Honeyhop Galaxy]] and [[Flip-Out Galaxy]], as well as during the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]'s mission "The Perfect Run". These enemies can only be defeated by being eaten by [[Yoshi]]. Most of the time, they appear when the player tries to go through a 2D pathway, but they are less common when the pathway is 3D and mostly the platforms are narrow or have lesser grounds.

'''Choppahs'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 26.</ref> are a type of enemy appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear as green creatures that lack legs. Each Choppah has an orange spiked helmet and has a propeller around it, giving the enemy the ability to fly.

Choppahs first appear in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]] as the main obstacles. These enemies later appear in the [[Sweet Mystery Galaxy]] (where they are only seen flying horizontally), [[Honeyhop Galaxy]], and [[Flip-Out Galaxy]], as well as during the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]'s mission [[The Perfect Run]]. These enemies can be defeated only by being eaten by [[Yoshi]] and release three [[Star Bit]]s upon being eaten. Most of the time, they appear when the player must traverse through a 2D pathway. They are less common when the pathway is 3D, mostly appearing when the platforms are narrow or have less ground. When shot by a Star Bit from the [[Star Pointer]], they get stunned in place for a short moment.
