'''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".

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.

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.

|''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!''
