Satellites[1][2] are obstacles in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. These spinning spiked objects appear in the final stage of the Mario Zone only. Satellites are almost entirely invincible and spin around spheres similarly to a Roto-Disc or its Super Mario Land counterpart (with Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten even suggesting that the satellites might be a mechanical version of the former),[3] though they are a bit slower. They can be defeated only by running into them while invincible.

メカ版ばんのクッキーかな？

タマのまわりを、クルグルとまわっているだけのおじゃまキャラ。クッキー（P67）に、動うごきも性格せいかくも似にている。大量たいりょうにでてくると避きけるのが難むずかしいのもいっしょだ。[3]

Is it a mechanical version of Roto-Disc?

This is a character that just goes around and around the balls in a circle. They are similar to Roto-Discs (p. 67) in both movement and personality. It is also difficult to avoid them when they appear in large numbers.
