Gearmos make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Two similar-looking green Gearmos appear in the ammo depots in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and in the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. They find it distasteful that [[trash]] is being thrown on their planet, and they ask Mario if he wants to dispose of it by [[Bob-omb Blasting|blowing it up]].

If Mario manages to destroy all the garbage before the time runs out, they will reward him with a [[Power Star]]. Gearmos also appear in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]], where many of them live. In the level [[Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser]], many of them are trapped inside [[Toy_Time_Galaxy#Mecha-Bowser|Mecha-Bowser]]'s head and are freed after Mario destroys the robot by [[Ground Pound|ground pounding]] the stack of [[stone wheel]]s on the robot's head. In the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], Gearmos take care of the Buoy Base, for it is not currently in use, and in the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], Gearmos monitor the guests at the [[Star Festival]] and preventing littering. A green Gearmo also appears in the [[Engine Room]] of the [[Comet Observatory]], being the only non-playable character other than [[Polari]] in a dome. | ||

Gearmos also appear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Two Gearmos host similar minigames to the [[Bob-omb Blasting]] minigame in the [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]]. This time around, they give Mario a [[Fire Flower]], and ask him to burn up all the [[Crate Burning|crates in twenty seconds or less]]. If Mario succeeds, he will be given a [[Power Star]]. | Gearmos also appear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

The Gearmos' torso can come in a variety of different colors including green, blue, yellow, and pink. They also have a large gear inside the back of their heads. If Mario jumps on the gear, it pops out and falls back into place. Gearmos are capable of moving without the gear, suggesting that the gear has no real purpose. If the player gets zero Purple Coins in the Battlerock Galaxy, the Gearmo at the end will refer to itself as "this old iron lady", indicating Gearmos have genders, despite being robots. The Japanese name indicates they may all be "old ladies" while most of their names in other languages such as Spanish use feminine terms for their names further implying that they may all be female. | The Gearmos' torso can come in a variety of different colors including green, blue, yellow, and pink.
