| | '''Gearmos''' are robot allies that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are usually seen inhabiting industrialized galaxies where they usually aid in their maintenance and upkeep. |
| '''Gearmos''' are a [[List of species|species]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are usually seen in industrialized galaxies, and are pictured as maintenance robots that often advise [[Mario]]. Their name is derived from the Spanish name Guillermo (pronounced "gee-AIR-mo"), and the word "gear". | | |

| [[File:SMG Green Gearmo.png|left|thumb|A green Gearmo, in the [[Engine Room]]]]
| | Gearmos make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' where most of them inhabit the [[Toy Time Galaxy]]. However they can be also found in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], the [[Battlerock Galaxy]], the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]], the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]] and the [[Comet Observatory]]. |
| Gearmos are supporting characters in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Two similar-looking green Gearmos appear in the ammo depots in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and in the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. They find it distasteful that [[trash]] is being thrown on their planet, and they ask Mario if he wants to dispose of it by [[Bob-omb Blasting|blowing it up]]. If Mario manages to destroy all the garbage before the time runs out, they will reward him with a [[Power Star]]. Gearmos also appear in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]], where many of them live. In the level [[Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser]], many of them are trapped inside [[Toy_Time_Galaxy#Mecha-Bowser|Mecha-Bowser]]'s head and are freed after Mario destroys the robot by [[Ground Pound|ground pounding]] the stack of [[stone wheel]]s on the robot's head. In the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], Gearmos take care of the Buoy Base, for it is not currently in use, and in the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], Gearmos monitor the guests at the [[Star Festival]] and preventing littering. A green Gearmo also appears in the [[Engine Room]] of the [[Comet Observatory]], being the only non-playable character other than [[Polari]] in a dome. | |

| ===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
| | In the Toy Time Galaxy, Gearmos appear throughout working the various objects in the [[galaxy]] and helping [[Mario]] on his way through. They appear as helpful NPCs in the Buoy Base Galaxy and give Mario advice on how to reach the top of the tower. One Gearmo holding a metal stick with a magnet attached to the end of it appears in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and another appears in the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. These Gearmos are in charge of keeping the ammo depots clean. They ask Mario to help clean up the mess by throwing [[Bob-omb]]s at the garbage. If Mario does this for them, each will give him one [[Power Star]] in return, making two power stars if he does both missions. It is possible that both of these Gearmos are the same character as they are both green. |
| [[File:Gold and Silver Gearmo.png|thumb|200px|The gold and silver Gearmos]] | |
| Gearmos are supporting characters in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Two of them host similar minigames to the [[Bob-omb Blasting]] minigame in the [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]]. This time around, they give Mario a [[Fire Flower]], and ask him to burn up all the [[Crate Burning|crates in twenty seconds or less]]. If Mario succeeds, he will be given a [[Power Star]].

|
| Two Gearmos later appear in the [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]]'s [[Prankster Comet]] mission. One at the top of the slide claims to have lost 140 [[Purple Coin]]s and asks Mario to get them for it. If Mario manages to get 100 of the 140 Purple Coins, the Gearmo at the bottom of the slide will give Mario a Power Star. A green Gearmo also appears in [[Rolling Coaster Galaxy]]'s Prankster Comet, giving Mario the star if he succeeds in getting 100 of the 110 Purple Coins. They also appear in the [[Chompworks Galaxy]]. Here, they seem to test [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s, sometimes letting them crash into them seemingly for the thrill of it.
| | Another green Gearmo appears controlling the the [[Engine Room]] of the Comet Observatory when Mario gets to that point in the story. |
|
| |
|
| When special missions are completed in the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]] and [[Space Storm Galaxy]], two Gearmos, a [[Gearmo (gold)|gold Gearmo]] and a [[Gearmo (silver)|silver Gearmo]], respectively, will join Mario in his adventures on [[Starship Mario]], and give him a [[1-Up Mushroom]] when talked to.
| | ===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''=== |
| | Gearmos return in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' once again with the purpose of maintaining the various galaxies they appear in. The main galaxy they appear in is the [[Chompworks Galaxy]] where they are responsible for breaking open [[Chain Chomp Head]]s. |
|
| |
|
| In this game, when hit with [[Star Bit]]s or spun at, their heads will spin around.
| | Similar to the missions with the Bob-ombs in the original, two Gearmos with magnet sticks appear once again in the [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]] but this time they give Mario a [[Fire Flower]] and ask [[Fire Mario]] to burn up all the crates in 20 seconds or less. |

| | Later on two Gearmos appear in the [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]]'s [[Prankster Comet]] mission. One at the top of the slide claims to have lost 140 [[Purple Coin]]s and asks Mario to get them for him. He tells them that his buddy at the bottom will give him a prize if he does. And, true to his word, the Gearmo at the bottom of the slide will give Mario a Power Star if he got at least 100 Purple Coins. A green Gearmo also appears in [[Rolling Coaster Galaxy]]'s Prankster Comet, giving Mario the star if he succeeds in getting the 100 [[Purple Coin]]s. |
| [[File:SMG Gearmo Garbage Dump.png|thumb|left|Gearmo greeting Mario in Battlerock Galaxy]] | |
| Some Gearmos can be perceived as irritable, as well as obsessed with tidiness. For instance, the Bob-omb Blasting Gearmos become furious if Mario or Luigi does not complete the minigame. Another one gets angry at him for destroying a giant weight holding down a tower, and another warns Mario to not let it catch him littering.

|
| The Gearmos' torso can come in a variety of different colors including green, blue, yellow, and pink. They also have a large gear inside the back of their heads. If Mario jumps on the gear, it pops out and falls back into place. Gearmos are capable of moving without the gear, suggesting that the gear has no real purpose. If the player gets zero Purple Coins in the Battlerock Galaxy, the Gearmo at the end will refer to itself as "this old iron lady", indicating Gearmos have genders, despite being robots. The Japanese name indicates they may all be "old ladies" while most of their names in other languages such as Spanish use feminine terms for their names further implying that they may all be female. However, this is contradicted in the [[Chompworks Galaxy]] where one Gearmo who is being run over by Chain Chomps is referred to using masculine pronouns.
| | When special missions are completed in the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]] and [[Space Storm Galaxy]], two Gearmos, a [[Gold Gearmo]] and a [[Silver Gearmo]], will join Mario in his adventures on the [[Starship Mario]], and give him a [[1-up Mushroom]] when talked to.This is similar to the garbage challenge from the prequel, with the Gearmos all being green. |

| | Most Gearmos are irritable neat-freaks. The Gearmo with the magnet becomes furious at Mario if he does not complete the Bob-omb Challenge. Another one gets angry at him for destroying a giant weight holding down a tower, and another warns Mario not to let it catch him littering. |
| *'''''Super Mario Galaxy'' trading card description:''' ''It's good to have a robot ally when traveling through challenging galaxies such as the Dreadnought or Battlerock. Gearmos are mechanical friends that hold magnets on the end of their wands and have gears on their heads. They are in charge of keeping the ammo depots clean in these areas. But to do this, Gearmos need Mario's help. Throw Bob-ombs at their trash heaps, and if successful within 30 seconds, the prize for Mario is a Power Star!''

| | Gearmos have a large gear inside the back of their heads. If Mario jumps on the gear, it pops out, and falls back into place. Gearmos are capable of moving without the gear, suggesting that the gear has no real purpose. This may also indicate that Gearmos are living beings rather than robots. Further proof of this is the fact that, if the player gets zero purple coins in the Battlerock Galaxy, the Gearmo at the end will refer to herself as "this old iron lady", indicating Gearmos have separate genders, despite being iron robots. |
