'''Digga-Leg''' is a robotic boss from the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It is fought in the [[Spin-Dig Galaxy]], first in the mission [[Digga-Leg's Planet]], and later in the mission [[Digga-Leg's Daredevil Run]] under [[Prankster Comet#Daredevil Comet|Daredevil Comet]] conditions. Digga-Leg shares its boss music with the [[Whomp King]]. Digga-Leg was [[List of Super Mario Galaxy 2 pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to be called "Digg-Leg", but this was changed in the final version of the game.

Digga-Leg can be seen on its planet in the background of the ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' Puzzle Swap panel in ''[[StreetPass Mii Plaza]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

==Appearance==
==Appearance==
Digga-Leg resembles a smaller [[Megaleg]], though it has only two legs and its eyes emanate a red glow. Because of this, it also resembles a [[Snifit]]. Its shape is similar to that of a [[Swaphopper]]. Its weak spot is its glass underside, which contains a [[Power Star]]. It lets off steam periodically. When the player first encounters it, it slowly activates, then massively lets off steam before attacking.

==Battle==
==Combat==
Digga-Leg attacks by stomping around the planetoid and creating [[Digga]]s, which burrow through the ground's surface and try to harm [[Mario]]. Mario can defeat the Diggas by [[stomp]]ing on their heads or by drilling under them with a [[Spin Drill]]. When angered, Digga-Leg jumps high into the air and comes plummeting down, damaging Mario if he is in the way. Unlike with most large enemies, if Mario is hit by its legs, he simply gets knocked away and takes damage instead of getting crushed.

Mario can defeat the Diggas by stomping on their heads or by drilling under them. When angered, Digga-Leg will jump high into the air and come plummeting down, damaging Mario if he's in the way. Unlike most large enemies, if Mario is hit by its legs, he simply gets knocked away and takes damage instead of getting crushed.  
 
The only way Mario can defeat Digga-Leg is by using the Spin Drill to burrow through the planet from the position opposite its glass underside. Each time Mario drills into the glass, it becomes increasingly cracked. This works only if Mario starts drilling from the right area of the planet at the right time. If he misfires, he runs either into one of Digga-Leg's legs or into the protected part of its head and gets bounced back (with an accompanying clang sound). After Mario cracks Digga-Leg's glass underside three times, it explodes, leaving behind the [[mission]]'s Power Star.
 
There is also a [[Prankster Comet]] for this fight. Digga-Leg has the same attacks as before, except it is a daredevil fight. Therefore, the player has only one health point, making the boss fight significantly harder. Defeating Digga-Leg gives the player a silver crown next to the [[galaxy]]'s name if [[Silver Stars Down Deep]] has also been completed.
 
Digga-Leg is the only boss in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' whose battle takes place in a 2D segment.
