'''Sentry Beams''' are metallic robots that make their only appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are enemies that will try to defeat [[Mario]] by firing circular emanating lasers at him.

[[File:Sentry Beam Robot.png|left|thumb|An idle Sentry Beam]]
===''Super Mario Galaxy===
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
Sentry Beams make their first appearance in the [[Flipswitch Galaxy]] (where one guards the [[Power Star]]) and then reappear later in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]], [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]], the [[Toy Time Galaxy]], the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]].
Sentry Beams debut in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', first appearing in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]]. They also appear in [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]] and the [[Toy Time Galaxy]]. Sentry Beams are stationary robots that hover in place, firing a laser at Mario or Luigi if he approaches them. They cannot be destroyed by any means, but if Mario or Luigi stands on top of them, they cease all motion until he gets off and starts to move again.


===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
===''Super Mario Galaxy 2===
Sentry Beams reappear in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', and they are encountered only in the [[Mario Squared Galaxy]] and the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]. They behave identically to their first appearance.
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', they only appear in a few galaxies, namely the [[Space Storm Galaxy]], the [[Mario Squared Galaxy]], the [[Shiverburn Galaxy]], and the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]], among others.

===Internal names===
Sentry Beams constantly remain stationary and attack by firing lasers in a circular shock wave formation. If the shock waves touch [[Mario]], he will be electrocuted and lose one section of his [[Health Meter]]. Sentry Beams will only fire these lasers when Mario gets near enough to them, and there is a limit as to how far they can go before they disappear. On the [[Dreadnought Galaxy#Landing Platform|Landing Platform]] in the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]], these boundaries are clearly defined by large white circles on the ground around the Sentry Beams, which the shock waves cannot go past.

Sentry Beams cannot be destroyed by any means. However, there is a way to stun them, temporarily stopping them from attacking and giving Mario refuge from their barrage of shock waves. Mario can either jump on top of the robot or fire a [[Star Bit]] at it, causing it to become stunned for several seconds. If Mario jumps on the top of the robot twice, the spring beneath its head becomes exposed and Mario can then use them like a [[trampoline]]. Some Sentry Beams do not fire lasers at all, but still have a springy neck nevertheless.

|name1=SearchBeamer
There are also two very rare variants of the normal Sentry Beam; one has a nut on top of it, while the other has a bolt. They are both yellow in color instead of purple. They can both be found in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] on the [[Buoy Base Galaxy#Poké Ball Planet|Poké Ball Planet]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', with the nut-like robot on the bottom of the planet and the bolt-like robot on the top. The Sentry Beam with the nut is very much like the original Sentry Beam robot, though with no springy neck. Once Mario or [[Luigi]] [[spin]]s the bolt of the bolt-like Sentry Beam, it will disappear and the planet will open up to reveal the [[Power Star]]. Nut-like Sentry Beams also appear on the [[Deep Dark Galaxy#Watermelon Planet|Watermelon Planet]] in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]].
|meaning1=Transliteration of below
 
|game2=''Super Mario Galaxy''<br>''Super Mario Galaxy 2''
Sentry Beams also have a spiked yellow variant which attacks in the same way as its purple counterpart, though Mario cannot stun it due to its spikes. They also lack eyes.
|file2=<tt>StageData/ObjNameTable.arc/ObjNameTable.tbl</tt><br><tt>SystemData/ObjNameTable.arc/ObjNameTable.tbl</tt>
 
|name2=サーチビーマー (''Sāchi Bīmā'')
The final Sentry Beam variant is a gray, mobile unit with sinister-looking eyes, which hovers around with the aid of a propeller on its bottom. This variant is able to shoot a straight laser beam at Mario from its mouth. The laser beam is very fast and very hard to avoid. Though it cannot be defeated, if Mario stands on its head, it will cease all action. However, once Mario starts moving again it will continue to attack.
|meaning2=Search Beamer

All Sentry Beams are invincible, and they cannot be defeated by any of Mario's attacks. Mario can throw [[Bob-omb]]s at the robots to delay their attacks, but this still will not destroy them.


===Names in other languages===
There is also another ''extremely'' rare Sentry Beam on the top of the tower in the Buoy Base Galaxy. It is green in color and closely resembles a [[Spring Topman]]. It does not fire laser beams, but rather unleashes three [[Topmini]]s on Mario. It still has the spring on its head, though.

==Trivia==
*Note that the Sentry Beams on the [[Shiverburn Galaxy#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]] of the [[Shiverburn Galaxy]] fire yellow circular laser beams instead of the normal red, most likely implying that the beams are in fact electric, rather than regular laser beams.
