'''Megaleg''' is one of several bosses in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is a gigantic mechanical construct with a vague resemblance to a [[Snifit]]. It is found in [[Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor]] and is owned and possibly commanded by [[Bowser Jr.]] | |||
Megaleg underwent several changes prior to the release of ''Super Mario Galaxy'': in an [[List of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content|early]] version of the [[Good Egg Galaxy]], there was nothing in its cage. The earliest version of Megaleg was labeled "BossCrab", which had a different body design, no nose or mouth, four legs, and a half oval shaped head. | |||

[[File: | [[File:SMG Megaleg and Moon Screenshot.jpg|thumb|left|Megaleg standing on the Robot Reactor.]] | ||
Megaleg is incredibly large and lives on a planet just big enough to hold it. It has three long legs, like a tripod, and each leg has various tricks and traps designed to trip [[Mario]] up. It has fly-like eyes with huge lights beaming out of them. On top of Megaleg's head is a red cage with a rotating lighthouse-like light on top that contains a [[Grand Star]]. Megaleg is much bigger than [[Digga-Leg]], a similar boss encountered in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. | |||

When Mario enters Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor, Megaleg is positioned on the bottom of the [[Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor#Robot Reactor|Robot Reactor]]. When Mario uses the [[Launch Star]] on the [[Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]] to reach the Robot Reactor, Bowser Jr. appears and orders Megaleg to attack Mario. Megaleg mainly attacks by consistently firing multiple [[Bullet Bill]]s from various locations on its head, legs, and underbelly. It also tries to stomp on Mario while he's on the Robot Reactor. Mario must [[jump]] on one of its three huge feet and climb up its leg, avoiding Bullet Bills along the way. When Mario reaches Megaleg's head, he has to lead a Bullet Bill into the larger cage surrounding the red cage, after which a barrier forms around the red cage and more Bullet Bills are fired. Mario must then lead another Bullet Bill into the red cage to release the Grand Star trapped inside and defeat Megaleg. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *The concept of climbing atop and moving on a large being was originally intended to be used in the final fight against [[Ganon]] in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', but this was scrapped due to the fact that one would be unable to see Ganon while atop him. However, it was later reused in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', much to the excitement of the development team.<ref>As stated by ''Super Mario Galaxy'' director [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]] in Issue 225 of ''[[Nintendo Power]]''.</ref> | ||
*In a ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' interview, it was stated that Megaleg would return for ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.{{ref needed}} This was later proven false, however, with Digga-Leg appearing instead. | |||
