Topminis[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Each of these small yellow Topmen has a black spinner with gold bulbs, as well as two black ovals for eyes akin to Toads. Their name involves the prefix "mini-" (referring to them being small) being added to the end of "top" as a suffix, forming a pun on "Topman."
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
Topminis are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy. They are encountered in several levels, mostly in the Battlerock Galaxy and the Dreadnought Galaxy. Topminis are typically found in groups of two to three, and they try to spin into Mario, simply pushing him backwards. This move, though incapable of damaging Mario directly, can push him into some sort of hazard that damages him. Topminis can be defeated only from a spin, causing them to explode into one Star Bit, or from a Star Bit being shot at them, in which case they reward three Star Bits instead. In many areas after the Topminis are defeated, a hole appears and more of the enemies emerge from it.
In the Buoy Base Galaxy only, Topminis can be released from the Sentry Garage that attempts to knock Mario into something dangerous. Occasionally, they are released from Spring Topmen as well after they are attacked.
