| | '''Gil Board''', '''Bill Board''', '''Phil Board''', and '''Jill Board''' are four sentient signposts capable of speech. In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', they tell Mario how to perform a particular move each time he meets them. Some boards appear in multiple locations, but their ability to transport themselves is not explored. The names of all four are puns on "billboard". The boards also appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' with the same role as in the first game. |

| | '''Gil Board''' is the first of the boards to be encountered. He is a signpost that tells Mario how to Wall Jump. He claims to be the "Famous Gil Board" and claims Mario knows him, although ''Super Mario Galaxy'' is the first appearance in which he has been specifically named. He appears in [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. |
| The '''Boards''' in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games are four talking signposts. In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', they exclaim, "Hey!" at [[Mario]] before telling him how to perform a particular move each time he meets them. Some Boards appear in multiple locations, but their ability to transport themselves is not explored. The names of all four are puns on "billboard." One of the Boards also appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' with the same role as in the first game.

| There are passive, non-sentient [[sign]]s in both games that look identical to these Boards.
