One of them is [[Rocto]] – a large gray octopus that spits [[coconut]]s at Mario from a fixed distance over empty space. Damaging Roctos requires launching the projectile back at them with a [[Spin]]. The means of attack and defeat mirror how {{iw|zeldawiki|Octorok}}s are defeated in ''The Legend of Zelda'' 3D titles. The internal file designation and Japanese name for Rocto indicate this was not circumstantial, and that the enemy is directly based off of them. The Rocto boss [[King Kaliente]] attacks similarly, and their diminutive relative [[Octoguy]] spits small damaging rocks. Pig-nosed [[Bat (Super Mario Galaxy)|bats]] also appear in the game that flutter before Mario before swooping down to strike him. Similar to Rocto, their means of attack is similar to that of [[Keese]] in the 3D ''Zelda'' titles, and its more naturalistic design is comparable to the enemy's appearance in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}''. The [[ice bat]]s similarly are invocative of {{iw|zeldawiki|Ice Keese}}. Stone [[Lantern|torches]] appear in a few galaxies, like the [[Freezeflame Galaxy]] and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. Lighting all of the torches in an immediate area generally facilitates progression, such as by causing a stone gate to slide away. This function is shared with the {{iw|zeldawiki|torch}}es in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. In the [[Rolling Gizmo Galaxy]], some [[Star Bit]]s are arranged into a shape resembling a [[Rupee]]. | ||
