Boulder: Difference between revisions

Boulders first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they are dug up by [[Chargin' Chuck|Diggin' Chuck]]s as a form of attack. They continuously bounce on the ground in one direction (turning the other way when they bump into a wall) until they are hit by [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]'s attack or sink into [[lava]].

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', '''Ruby Rocks'''<ref name=Portal>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy/?lang=en English ''Super Mario Galaxy'' entry on the official Mario Portal]. ''nintendo.co.jp''. Retrieved August 13, 2022. ([https://archive.ph/IMSwG Archived] August 12, 2022, 23:39:09 UTC via archive.today.)</ref> and '''Big Ruby Rocks'''<ref name=Portal/> 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 2]]'', Ruby Rocks<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy2/?lang=en English ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' entry on the official Mario Portal].

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.
