Major Burrows is an abnormally large and pudgy, maroon-colored [[Undergrunt]]. He wears a spiked blue helmet that resembles a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], which he also uses to burrow back into the ground. He is also shown to have light blue eyes that either become dilated when his expression changes or disappear when he is stunned. He has long white eyebrows similar to [[Bowser]]'s, and large rounded cheeks. He also has three whiskers on each side of his snout and a big, black nose. He has a large, tannish-colored rounded belly, and a short flesh-colored tail, which serves as Major Burrows's weak spot. Burrows also has long, sharp, black claws that he uses to attack Mario with. When angry, Major Burrows's blue helmet turns red, and his eyes are golden yellow with no visible pupils.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Major Burrows appears in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]'s level "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy#The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows|The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows]]" where he is chasing a [[Star Bunny]] around a large tree. Initially, Major Burrows is unaware that Mario (or [[Luigi]]) has landed on his planet; when Mario [[Ground Pound]]s near Major Burrows before [[Spin]]ning into him, he will forget about chasing after the Star Bunny and lock his sights on Mario. When Mario performs a second Ground Pound, Major Burrows will attempt to run away after being stunned. Once Mario has caught up and performed his second Spin, Major Burrows will become very angry and turn red. When Mario stuns Major Burrows for the third time, he will retreat back underground and come back fully restored, while charging furiously at Mario. When Mario performs a fourth and final Ground Pound, Major Burrows will attempt to run away again. When Mario catches up and performs his third and final Spin, Major Burrows will release a [[Power Star]].
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Major Burrows appears in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]'s level "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy#The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows|The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows]]" where he is chasing a [[Star Bunny]] around a large tree. At the start of the boss battle, Major Burrows ignores Mario and continues pursuing the helpless Star Bunny. Mario must [[Ground Pound]] somewhere near him, when Major Burrows pops up half way out of the ground to stun him. While stunned, Mario must then [[Star Spin]] Major Burrows, causing the major to lose a life point. Major Burrows will then turn his attention towards Mario and start chasing him, instead of the Star Bunny. Mario must do the same thing again two more times. However, after Mario performs a ground pound, Major Burrows will run away once he's been stunned, forcing Mario to chase after him. For the final time, Major Burrows will turn red out of frustration and chase Mario at a faster speed. If Major Burrows is stunned, he will retreat back underground and come back fully restored, furiously charging at Mario. Mario will have to do another ground pound, which will cause Major Burrows to run away just like he did the second time. After a final Star Spin, he'll be defeated and will release a [[Power Star]].


The player faces Major Burrows again during the [[Daredevil Comet]] run; this means the player will only have one life point. In the credits, there is a picture of Mario fighting him.

Major Burrows reappears in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' as the third boss Mario fights in the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]]. His battle is exactly the same as the one from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', although there is no [[Star Bunny]] present.

==Trivia==
*[[Koichi Hayashida]], the game director, provides the voice for Major Burrows.
*Major Burrows shares his boss music with the Gold Leaf and Toy Time Galaxy's [[Undergrunt Gunner]].
*The Toad Captain of the [[Toad Brigade]] mentions to Mario that with the Captain and his crew as royal guards, nobody would ever kidnap Princess Peach again. One of the things he says is, "Giant, overgrown moles," referring to Major Burrows (or possibly a standard Undergrunt).
*His hat resembles the wingless version of the [[Blue Spiny Shell]] from the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].
