In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', bolts most often occur in industrialized [[Galaxy|galaxies]], such as the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and [[Buoy Base Galaxy]]. Performing a [[spin]] while on top of a bolt embeds it into the ground and triggers a nearby event, such as the shifting of a platform. Bolts are very similar to [[valve]]s, green objects that usually release [[Star Bit]]s when spun. There are two varieties of bolts: a '''blue screw'''<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Super Mario Galaxy: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=Collector's Edition|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=2007|page=104}}</ref> with a Phillips head, and a '''gold screw'''<ref name=pg238>{{cite|author=Black|page=238}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Black|page=258}}</ref> (also called a '''golden bolt''',<ref>{{cite|author=Black|page=160}}</ref> '''yellow screw''',<ref>{{cite|author=Black|page=236}}</ref> and '''golden screw'''<ref name=pg238/>) with a slotted head. Both bolts often appear together in the same galaxies. During [[Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser]], blue and gold screws are embedded into the body of [[Toy Time Galaxy#Mecha-Bowser|Mecha-Bowser]]. Unscrewing them causes its body to fall apart. In the Buoy Base Galaxy, a gold screw is attached to a [[Ball Beamer]] and disengages it when spun. A bolt can only be used once, flattening it with the surrounding ground. | In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', bolts most often occur in industrialized [[Galaxy|galaxies]], such as the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and [[Buoy Base Galaxy]].

Screws are incorporated into the tops of [[Screwtop Lift]]s and [[Screwtop Shroom]]s that are found throughout the games. [[Spin Jump|Spinning]] a screw causes the platform to quickly shift positioning before slowing returning to its starting point. Unlike ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the screws can be spun an indefinite amount of times. Screws appear independently of these platforms in {{world link|8|airship|World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, where spinning them causes metal obstacles to temporarily move out of place. | Screws are incorporated into the tops of [[Screwtop Lift]]s and [[Screwtop Shroom]]s that are found throughout the games.
