The '''Boards''' in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games are four | The '''Boards''' in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games are four sentient signposts capable of speech. 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. | ||
Similar-looking signposts also appear in both games, though they are not sentient and simply provide information about the section they are in. In the [[Supermassive Galaxy]], rather large Boards appear on the first planet. | |||
