| '''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 rather than sidling back-and-forth a short area. 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. | | This creature is known to be very dangerous. Players should stay away from these enemies if on low health. |

| | '''Octoguys''' also known as '''Octo Guys''' are dangerous 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 can be one of the most difficult enemies in the Mario Series so items like [[Life Mushroom]]s should be equipped. This enemy is in fact pretty clever. Players should be careful when fighting this foe as Octoguys come in large packs. They are also considered to be the most threatening enemy the 3d games. It is really recommended that you avoid a ton of Octoguys you see as you are likely to lose multiple lives from them. There are two reason why Octoguys are very hard to kill. The first reason why Octoguys are resilient 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 to dodge every attack that Mario attempts, 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. Mario must quickly slay them after when they attack. A Star Bit can be used against an Octoguy leaving it defenseless. Humorously if Mario used a [[Ground Pound]] on them, it will be flat as a pancake. The easiest and proper 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 varying amounts in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]], [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]], [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]], and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], effectively replacing [[Octoomba|Electrogoomba]]s in later missions. 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, with one able to be defeated by a nearby [[Thwomp]]. 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. | | 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]].

| 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 [[Rock Mushroom]] is with [[Rock Mario]] while [[Boulder]]s also crush them since Octoguys come in high packs. They have not changed much from their previous game. |
