A '''Meteorite''' is a rocky object found in outer space. It makes a notable appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as an item that [[Mario]] can use to his advantage. These round meteorites are gold and have the [[Ground Pound]] symbol on them. To use a meteorite, Mario simply has to jump into the air near a meteorite, which will automatically attract him via its gravitational pull. Once on the meteorite, Mario must position himself in exactly the right place, and then perform a Ground Pound to launch it toward a target. This simple action enables Mario to forcefully hit objects that are much larger than he is. He must first use them to break apart large stone locks blocking the way through giant doors in several [[Bowser]] levels. Later, Mario must actually use them during Bowser battles to attack [[Giant Bowser]]. He must hit him with meteorites four times to defeat him (in the final battle, Mario must hit Bowser eight times instead). However, if Mario is not able to Ground Pound a meteorite quick enough during a Bowser battle, it will lose its golden color and turn black, after which it will crumble and disappear. They first appeared in [[Bowser's Lava Lair]] and later in [[Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet]] and [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]] respectively.

==Trivia==
*In reality, the meteorites depicted in the ''Mario'' games are actually asteroids or meteroids. Meteorites are meteoroids that have entered and survived burning up in the atmosphere, that have landed on a planet.

-'''Meteorites''' appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as objects that [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) can launch at targets. These round meteorites are gold and have the [[Ground-Pound Switch]] symbol on them. The symbol on the meteorites is not emblazoned to the rocks themselves and therefore can move if the target moves (it always faces away from the target). Meteorites are located in [[Bowser's Lava Lair]], [[Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet]], and [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]]. A meteorite can be used by [[jump]]ing into the air near one, automatically attracting the player character via its gravitational pull. A meteorite can be launched toward a target if Mario performs a [[Ground Pound]] on it from a certain position. The first time meteorites are used is to break apart large stone locks blocking the way through giant doors in several [[Bowser]] levels. Meteorites are actually used during battles against Bowser to attack him. After taking four hits from a meteor, or eight hits in the final battle, Bowser is defeated. If a meteorite is not ground-pounded by Mario quickly enough during a Bowser battle, it will lose its golden color and turn black, after which it will crumble and disappear.
