'''Mandibugs''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are large, {{wp|stag beetle}}-like insects that sport snapping mandibles which they use to attack and a broad purple body. Their dorsal side displays a [[Ground Pound]] sign, indicating that the enemies can be defeated in this way. Their name is a portmanteau of "mandible", describing their powerful mouthparts, and "bug".

==History==
'''Mandibugs'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. 2010. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Premiere Edition guide. Page 28.</ref> are beetle-like [[List of enemies|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]].

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Mandibugs infested the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]] and are led by [[Bugaboom]]. They are apparently unfriendly neighbors of the [[Honeybee]]s, and they take over the Bees' observation tower in the mission [[Trouble on the Tower]].  They are initially stationary, but attack [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] by charging and attempting to hurt them with their mandibles. Not far from their initial positions, they then stop and retrieve. One can be defeated by executing a [[Ground Pound]] on its back, causing it to drop three [[Star Bit]]s. If simply stood on, Mandibugs will shake off the player after a few moments, leaving them briefly immobilized. Along with the Honeyhive Galaxy, Mandibugs appear in a handful of other locations, including the [[Honeyclimb Galaxy]] and on [[Airship]]s.


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.
