In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Boulders appeared as stationary obstacles, often appearing on various pads, which required them to be moved before the pads could be used. However, only [[Chunky Kong]] could lift them. Boulders also served as weights, and were sometimes needed to keep various switches pressed down. Chunky Kong could also throw them at enemies. In this game, they were dark green in color. | In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Boulders appeared as stationary obstacles, often appearing on various pads, which required them to be moved before the pads could be used.

They are semi-common obstacles that appear in several galaxies, including the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. They can be destroyed if Mario [[Spinning|spins]] their weak spot: a circular red area. They can also be destroyed if [[Rainbow Mario]] collides with them, or if Player 2 uses a second [[Star Cursor]] to hold one in place, allowing a second one to collide with it, which will destroy both boulders, leaving behind a large amount of [[Star Bit]]s. | ||

This time, the boulders can also be destroyed by [[Rock Mario]]. The boss of this galaxy, [[Rollodillo]] attacks in the same way as a Boulder, and can only be defeated using Rock Mario. [[Sorbetti]], the boss of the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]], also uses a similar strategy during the boss battle. | ||

*During the first part of the final [[Bowser]] battle in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', one of Bowser's attacks involves surrounding himself with rock fragments and rolling around the planet much like a Boulder in an attempt to squash [[Mario]]. Bowser's head sticks out of the rock in the same area where the red spot would be on an actual Boulder. Mario must [[spin]] Bowser's head to break him out of his rock shell. | |||
*In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the [[Rock Mushroom]] is introduced for the first time. When collected, this [[powerup]] will allow Mario to transform into a round Boulder-like object and roll into obstacles and enemies, much like Bowser did in [[Super Mario Galaxy]]'s final battle. Mario's head sticks out of the rock where the red spot would normally be on a regular boulder. | |||
