Their name comes from a word referring to a pin's flattened head. Each Pinhead appears as a bowling pin-shaped enemy with two beady eyes, a squiggly red mouth, and a yellow antenna. Pinheads are encountered in the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]] and [[Melty Monster Galaxy]] only. Though they are not inherently enemies, Pinheads can be defeated only by [[Rock Mario]], and when they see him turning into a rolling [[boulder]], they tremble desperately. When hit, they release multiple [[Star Bit]]s. However, if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] comes close to Pinheads, they squeal and hide underground until he moves away.

| Melty Monster Galaxy's [[The Chimp's Bowling Challenge|secret mission]] involves a bowling challenge where Pinheads are located in a series of bowling alleys, and Mario must knock down at least 50 of them with his Rock form. Each Pinhead knocked down is worth 100 [[point]]s.
