'''Mandibugs''' are beetle-like [[enemies]] found solely in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They infested the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]] and are led by [[Bugaboom]]. They are apparently unfriendly neighbors of the [[Bee]]s, and they take over the Bees' observation tower in the mission "Trouble on the Tower". One can be defeated by executing a [[Ground Pound]] on its back. Along with the Honeyhive Galaxy, Mandibugs appear in a handful of other locations, including the [[Honeyclimb Galaxy]] and on [[Airship]]s. They attack [[Mario]] by chasing and harming him with their mandibles. Mandibugs later appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', where they appear in the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]]. Their leader, Bugaboom, makes a reappearance in the Puzzle Plank Galaxy's hidden [[Power Star|Star]]. | '''Mandibugs''' are beetle-like [[enemies]] found solely in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

A Mandibug Stack appears when Mario rides the windmill to the top of the tower in Honeyhive Galaxy. They are defeated by Mario, and they give up a Star. Another Mandibug Stack appears during the mission "The Puzzling Picture Block", in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', but with a boss theme. Once again, Mario defeats them and gains the Star. | A [[Mandibug Stack]] appears when Mario rides the windmill to the top of the tower in Honeyhive Galaxy.
