'''Octoguys'''<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=28|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> are recurring enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are different from the other [[Octoomba]]s as they shoot rocks in an arc and both pursue or flee from the player while attacking. After fleeing for some time, they will eventually tire themselves out and be forced to catch their breath for a short while, giving more time for the player to defeat them. Octoguys resemble Octoombas, but they are magenta, have a chubbier face, and a calmer default expression. Their antennae have a unique shape, with a large and a small bulb at the end. Their tripod feet are smaller and flatter, and have orange soles and visible suckers like those of an octopus.  
'''Octoguys''' also known as '''Octo Guys''' are recurring enemies appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They resemble red [[Octoomba]]s with lighter pink spots. They are different from other Octoombas because they can spit rocks upwards.
 
Octoguys are one the most difficult and resilent in these games so items like [[Life Mushroom]]s should be eqquiped. There are two reason why Octoguys are very hard to kill. The first reason why Octoguys are resilent is because an Octoguy's rock is much faster than an Octoomba and unlike their weaker cousins, Octoguys will chase Mario. The second reason is when they are near a cliff, Mario may fall off the ledge and possibly lose a life. What's even worse that makes it more frustrating for the player is because Octoguys will back away when Mario is near them, however, they will eventually become tired and they will stop running to catch their breath. This gives Mario an easier attempt to defeat them though Octoguys do not get tired for long at all. The easiest way to kill Octoguys is by [[Spin]]ing them or shooting a [[Star Bit]] then stomps while [[Jump]]ing on them without using Star Bits can be hard. Like most enemies, they drop a [[Coin]] or 3 [[Star Bit]]s by jumps or Spining them respectivly.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', they are semi-common enemies appearing in mass numbers in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]], [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]], and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. In the Honeyhive Galaxy, they appear in the water-filled planet, trying to prevent [[Bee Mario]] from getting to the Queen Bee. They also appear on the Queen Bee's planet. Two of them appear on the fortress in the Buoy Base Galaxy. In the Gold Leaf Galaxy, three of them appear around the big tree in the first mission and five appear on the final planet of the second mission in the water-filled section. In the Deep Dark Galaxy, they guard a [[Fire Flower]] that is needed for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to proceed through the level. A lone Octoguy also appears in [[Bubble Blastoff]], trying to knock Mario off a pole he is climbing.

Octoguys are enemies in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. They are encountered in the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]], in the [[Honeyhop Galaxy]] and [[Shiverburn Galaxy]]'s [[Prankster Comet]] mission.
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Octoguys return. They appear in the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]], in the [[Honeyhop Galaxy]] and [[Shiverburn Galaxy]]'s [[Prankster Comet]] mission. One of the easiest ways to take out these annoying little creatures thanks to the help of a [[Boulder Mushroom]] is with [[Boulder Mario]] since they come in high packs.
