Enemies and obstacles

Name	Description	First appearance	Last appearance
Amp	Floating, smiling orbs. Amps discharge electricity and shock Mario on contact. They move in one direction, typically in a circular pattern around poles. Spoils:	Buoy Base Galaxy (Floating Fortress, The !The Floating Fortress)	Bubble Blast Galaxy (Electric Labyrinth, The !The Electric Labyrinth)
Atomic Boo	A large Boo. It can only be defeated with a light source. The Spooky Speedster is an Atomic Boo. Spoils: ×1	Deep Dark Galaxy (Boo in a Box)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Boo in a Box)
Ball Beamer^A	Stationary enemies that discharge wide-range shockwaves on the surface of spherical planets. The shockwaves damage Mario on contact and are discharged in consistent, three-part intervals that can be timed. Most Ball Beamers lack interactive components, but there is one in The Floating Fortress with a gold screw on its top. Spinning the screw disengages the Ball Beamer and opens up the metal planet it is fastened to. Spoils:	Buoy Base Galaxy (Floating Fortress, The !The Floating Fortress)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Bubble Blastoff)
Banzai Bill	Slow-moving missiles. Their line of trajectory is fixed in one direction, and they slowly rotate as they move. Spoils:	Bowser's Galaxy Reactor (Fate of the Universe, The !The Fate of the Universe)	Bowser's Galaxy Reactor (Fate of the Universe, The !The Fate of the Universe)

Blooper	Underwater squids. Bloopers swim erratically when approached by Mario in an attempt to strike him. Spinning one or striking it with a shell defeats it. They release a cloud of ink when defeated. Spoils: ×3	Buoy Base Galaxy (Floating Fortress, The !The Floating Fortress)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Boo in a Box)
Bob-omb	Walking bombs that look like wind-up toys. Bob-ombs actively pursue Mario until they explode. Jumping on a Bob-omb disengages it, turning it into a bomb that can be picked up. Spoils:	Battlerock Galaxy (Breaking into the Battlerock)	Rolling Gizmo Galaxy (Gizmos, Gears, and Gadgets)
Bomb Boo^A	Explosive Boos. Unlike normal Boos, Bomb Boos do not cower when Mario looks at them and move directly towards him on sight. Spinning near a Bomb Boo causes Mario to grab onto its tongue and swing it like a lasso. It detonates if it is swung into an object or wall. If Mario does not release the Bomb Boo, it is pulled in closer and damages him. Bomb Boos are conjured by Bouldergeist and can be used to destroy the boss's stone armor. Spoils:	Ghostly Galaxy (Beware of Bouldergeist)	Ghostly Galaxy (Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run)
Bomp	Stones that shift in and out of walls. They do not damage Mario directly, but they are positioned to push him off of platforms and solid ground. The tops of their bodies can be walked on. Spoils:	Buoy Base Galaxy (Floating Fortress, The !The Floating Fortress)	Freezeflame Galaxy (Purple Coins on the Summit)
Bone Twister^A	Whirlwinds that move along set paths. They trap Mario when they make contact, but this does not harm him.

Spoils:	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Blasting through the Sand)	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Purple Coins in the Desert)
Bonefin^A	Undead sharks. They appear during the boss fight with Kingfin, who summons them from a hydrothermal vent as he accumulates damage.

All Bonefins disappear when Kingfin is defeated. Spoils: ×7	Bonefin Galaxy (Kingfin's Fearsome Waters)	Bonefin Galaxy (Kingfin's Fearsome Waters)
Boo	Ghost enemies. Boos pursue Mario when his back is turned towards them. If Mario looks directly at them, they shield their eyes and stop moving. Spinning shifts their position and forces them to phase through nearby walls, but they cannot be damaged this way. They are only weak to light – including the headlamp of the Toad Brigade Captain. Some Boos are found underwater. Mario can transform into one via the Boo Mushroom, which causes any nearby Boos to become enamored with Mario and chase him. Spoils: ×1 ×1	Ghostly Galaxy (Luigi and the Haunted Mansion)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Plunder the Purple Coins)
Bullet Bill	Missiles fired from Bill Blasters. Bullet Bills normally fly in a straight line, but they change course and directly target Mario if he is within their proximity.

Spoils:	Good Egg Galaxy (King Kaliente's Battle Fleet)	Bowser's Galaxy Reactor (Fate of the Universe, The !The Fate of the Universe)

Spoils:	Beach Bowl Galaxy (Wall Jumping up Waterfalls)	Gold Leaf Galaxy (Bell on the Big Tree, The !The Bell on the Big Tree
Cheep Cheep	Pudgy red fish. Underwater, they passively swim in circles. On land or shallow water, they hopelessly bounce around in a set trajectory. They can be defeated with a spin or a jump. Spoils: ×1 ×3	Deep Dark Galaxy (Bubble Blastoff)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Guppy and the Underground Lake)
Chomp	Metal enemies that roll in a set trajectory. The only way to defeat them is by running into them as Rainbow Mario. They bark when in close proximity. A cannon in Good Egg Galaxy expels Chomps. Spoils: ×7	Good Egg Galaxy (King Kaliente's Battle Fleet)	Ghostly Galaxy (Beware of Bouldergeist)
Clampy^A	A giant clam that opens and closes its mouth. Star Chips or coins can be found inside it. Snapping shut with Mario inside damages him. Spoils:	Beach Bowl Galaxy (Sunken Treasure	Beach Bowl Galaxy (Beachcombing for Purple Coins)
Cluckboom^A	Spoils: ×1 ×3	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Soaring on the Desert Winds)	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Bullet Bill on Your Back)

Crabber (Red)^A	Red Crabbers actively pursue Mario but move slowly. Spoils: ×3	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Sunbaked Sand Castle)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Boo in a Box)
Dry Bones	Undead Koopa Troopas. They chase down and tackle Mario on sight. If stomped on, spun, or hit with a shell, Dry Bones crumble into a pile of bones, but regenerate after a few seconds. There are three ways to truly defeat Dry Bones: by luring a Bullet Bill into them; by running into them as Rainbow Mario; or by luring them into quicksand. Spoils: ×3	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Soaring on the Desert Winds)	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Purple Coins in the Desert)
Electrogoomba^A	Goomba-like octopus creatures. They sidestep back and forth along a set path and keep their eyes locked onto Mario when he is nearby.

Little house	Doghouses-like Chomp boxes that release Mini Chomps.	Dreadnought Galaxy (Dreadnought's Colossal Cannons)	Dreadnought Galaxy (Dreadnought's Colossal Cannons)
Moving sand	Rapidly flowing sand. Mario can stand on it but is brought down his intended trajectory and potentially into hazards. In addition to the moving sand, the sand rises inside of a pyramid.	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Soaring on the Desert Winds)	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Treasure of the Pyramid)
Mud	Mario's movement speed and jump height is greatly reduced when he is in mud. This puts him at potential risk if dangerous enemies are nearby.	Good Egg Galaxy (Dino Piranha)	Good Egg Galaxy (Dino Piranha Speed Run
Poison swamp	Poisonous sludge. If Mario falls into the poison, he sinks and loses a life.	Bubble Breeze Galaxy (Through the Poison Swamp)	Toy Time Galaxy (Luigi's Purple Coins)
Quicksand	Shifting sands. It functions identically to poison, as they both rapidly cause Mario to sink and lose a life.	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Soaring on the Desert Winds)	Dusty Dune Galaxy (Purple Coins in the Desert)
Snow	Powdery snow that reduces Mario's speed when walked through. The snow is cleared when the Star Pointer is waved over it or with fireballs.	Snow Cap Galaxy (Star Bunnies in the Snow)	Snow Cap Galaxy (Star Bunnies in the Snow)
Spikes	Spikes damage Mario on contact, and generally appear attached to terrain and shifting objects. Moving lifts with spikes embedded into their sides appear in a few galaxies, and bergy bits in "Wall Jumping up Waterfalls" are covered in ones made of ice.	Good Egg Galaxy (Dino Piranha)	Gold Leaf Galaxy (Purple Coins in the Woods)
Spotlight	Beams of light. They can be used to defeat enemy Boos, but they will also force Boo Mario back into his normal form.	Ghostly Galaxy (Luigi and the Haunted Mansion)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Boo in a Box)
Spring	These floating springs bounce Boo Mario back on contact but do not damage him.	Boo's Boneyard Galaxy (Racing the Spooky Speedster)	Boo's Boneyard Galaxy (Racing the Spooky Speedster)
Torpedo tube	Underwater Bill Blasters that shoot Torpedo Teds.	Buoy Base Galaxy (Floating Fortress, The !The Floating Fortress)	Buoy Base Galaxy (Secret of Buoy Base, The !The Secret of Buoy Base)
Whirlpool	A swirling vortex of water. Contact pushes Mario and temporarily stuns him, but it does not damage him.	Bigmouth Galaxy (Bigmouth's Gold Bait)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Boo in a Box)

Name	Description	First fought	Last fought
Dino Piranha	A dinosaurian Piranha Plant boss with a clubbed tail. It charges after Mario when he is in its line of sight. Spinning into its club knocks it at its head, damaging it. It charges faster after the first strike.	Good Egg Galaxy (Dino Piranha)	Good Egg Galaxy (Dino Piranha Speed Run)
King Kaliente	A giant Rocto that sits in lava. He shoots coconuts^{[note 1]} and flaming rocks at Mario. Spinning into a coconut sends it back and damages him. He starts to parry these attacks as the fight progresses.	Good Egg Galaxy (King Kaliente's Battle Fleet)	Good Egg Galaxy (King Kaliente's Battle Fleet)
Mandibug Stack	A Mandibug that carries its child on its back. Both can be defeated by performing a Ground Pound. Defeating the child angers the parent and makes it harder to strike.	Honeyhive Galaxy (Trouble on the Tower)	Honeyhive Galaxy (Trouble on the Tower)
Bugaboom	A giant, winged Mandibug that tries to bite Mario with its jaws and can be damaged with a Ground Pound. Bugaboom takes flight after being struck once and starts releasing explosive droppings as it flies.	Honeyhive Galaxy (Big Bad Bugaboom)	Honeyhive Galaxy (Big Bad Bugaboom)
Megaleg	A giant robot. Its legs are covered with gravitational panels that enable Mario to walk up its body. Bill Blasters are built into its body. A Grand Star is caged on its head that can be freed with a lured Bullet Bill.	Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor (Megaleg's Moon)	Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor (Megaleg's Moon)
Kamella	A Magikoopa boss fought in certain missions such as the Deep Dark Galaxy mission The Underground Ghost Ship. She launches magical fireballs and Green Shells from her wand. Striking her with shells is the only way to damage her. She starts to erratically teleport as the fight progresses.	Space Junk Galaxy (Kamella's Airship Attack)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Ghost Ship Daredevil Run)
Tarantox	A giant spider cocooned in silk. The green orbs covering its body are its weak points, which Mario can damage by launching himself at them with Sling Pods. It spits acid after being hit once.	Space Junk Galaxy (Tarantox's Tangled Web)	Space Junk Galaxy (Tarantox's Tangled Web)
Topmaniac	A large Topman with serrated edges, fought in certain missions such as Topmaniac's Daredevil Run and Revenge of the Topman Tribe. Jumping on its head makes the blades retract, allowing Mario to safely spin it into an electric rail.	Battlerock Galaxy (Topmaniac and the Topman Tribe)	Dreadnought Galaxy (Topman Tribe Speed Run)
Bowser	The fire-breathing king of Koopas. He launches himself to the sky and back to generate shockwaves. Luring him above a glass panel causes him to crash through and burn his tail on lava. This leaves him vulnerable to a spin attack. He can conjure stone armor and roll like a Ruby Rock. In the Bowser's Dark Matter Plant mission Darkness on the Horizon, it was revealed that he refers to Mario as his "archenemy".^[4]	Bowser's Star Reactor (Fiery Stronghold, The !The Fiery Stronghold)	Bowser's Galaxy Reactor (Fate of the Universe, The !The Fate of the Universe)
Bouldergeist	A ghost covered in rocks. It launches rocks and erects stone spikes from the ground to damage Mario. Attacking it with Bomb Boos destroys its armor and leaves it vulnerable to attack. During the second phase, it constructs giant hands to attack Mario and protect its body. It is the one who kidnaps Luigi.^[5]	Ghostly Galaxy (Beware of Bouldergeist)	Ghostly Galaxy (Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run)
Bowser Jr.	Bowser's son. He rides a miniature airship that fires Bullet Bills and cannonballs at Mario. Magikoopas aide Bowser Jr. during the fight. Throwing shells at the airship damages it and eventually makes it sink. Bowser Jr. otherwise has a recurring story presence throughout the game.	Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada (Sinking the Airships)	Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada (Sinking the Airships)
Major Burrows	A giant Undergrunt chasing a Star Bunny. He burrows towards Mario before bursting from the ground with swiping claws. Performing a Ground Pound on the earth when his head is exposed forces him to the surface and leaves him vulnerable to a spin attack.	Gusty Garden Galaxy (The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows)	Gusty Garden Galaxy (Major Burrows's Daredevil Run)
Baron Brrr	A big Ice Bubble. He fires ice balls that freeze Mario on contact. If close, he thrusts himself downward and generates a freezing shockwave. Being close to the ground leaves him vulnerable to being spun, which extinguishes his icy aura.	Freezeflame Galaxy (The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr)	Freezeflame Galaxy (The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr)
Water Bazooka	Blue rotating cannons operated by Undergrunt Gunners. They fire drops of water that trap Mario on contact. The glass-encased cockpit is the weak point.	Gold Leaf Galaxy (When It Rains, It Pours)	Deep Dark Galaxy (Bubble Blastoff)
Mecha-Bowser	An enormous robot modeled after Bowser. Gearmos are trapped inside of its mouth. To free them and destroy the robot, the stack of stone wheels on top of its head must be Ground Pounded.	Toy Time Galaxy (Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser)	Toy Time Galaxy (Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser)
Electric Bazooka	A yellow cannon operated by an Undergrunt Gunner. This one shoots balls of electricity that home-in on Mario.	Toy Time Galaxy (Bouncing Down Cake Lane)	Toy Time Galaxy (Bouncing Down Cake Lane)
Kingfin	A massive shark that is guarded by a school of Bonefins. It is vulnerable to shells. As it swims, it destroys underwater pillars. It does not actively pursue Mario, but it summons more Bonefins as the battle progresses.	Bonefin Galaxy (Kingfin's Fearsome Waters)	Bonefin Galaxy (Kingfin's Fearsome Waters)
King Kaliente (Black)	A stronger variant of King Kaliente. He launches more projectiles and can immediately parry attacks. He causes meteors to rain from the sky during the battle.	Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor (King Kaliente's Spicy Return)	Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor (King Kaliente's Spicy Return)
Dino Piranha (Black)	A fast Dino Piranha. Its clubbed tail periodically catches fire. The flames burn Mario and prevent him from spinning the club. After making a successful strike, the Dino Piranha becomes faster, leaving walls of flames in its wake as it spews giant fiery balls. Defeating this boss without being damaged requires well-timed precision.	Melty Molten Galaxy (Fiery Dino Piranha)	Melty Molten Galaxy (Fiery Dino Piranha)
