'''Pinheads''' are a type of creature appearing in the game, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear as bowling pin-shaped enemies with two beady eyes, a red squiggly mouth, and a yellow antenna. These creatures are very rare, only appearing in two galaxies: [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]] and [[Melty Monster Galaxy]]. They can only be defeated by [[Rock Mario]], and when they see the [[plumber]] turning into a rolling [[boulder]], they tremble desperately. But if Mario walks over to them, they hide in holes underneath themselves.
