| '''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.

| ==History==
| | '''Octoguys''' are enemies appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They resemble fat, dark pink [[Electrogoomba]]s with lighter pink spots. They are different from other Electrogoombas because they can spit many rocks at a time and will attempt to run away at times. |
| ===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
| |
| 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.
