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

===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
===''Super Mario 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.
Sentry Beams first appear in [[Flipswitch Galaxy]] and re-appear in [[Battlerock Galaxy]], [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]], [[Toy Time Galaxy]] and [[Dreadnought Galaxy]].


===''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 appear in a few galaxies, namely [[Mario Squared Galaxy]] and [[Grandmaster Galaxy]].

===Internal names===
Sentry Beams are purple in appearance and somewhat resemble [[Topman|Topmen]], they constantly remain stationary and attack by firing lasers in a circular ray-like shock wave and if they hit Mario he will lose one health. Sentry Beams constantly fire out circular ray-lasers whether Mario is near or not and the lasers have a limit as to how far they can go before they disappear. They cannot be destroyed under any circumstance, however there is a way to stun the beams, impairing them for several seconds and giving Mario refuge from their barrage of attacks. If Mario either jumps on top of the robot or fires a [[Star Bit]] at it then the robot will become stunned and the spring beneath its head becomes exposed and Mario can then use them like a [[trampoline]]. Some of these purple robots do not fire laser, but still have a springy neck.

There are also very rare types of Sentry Beam, one has a nut on top of it, while one has a bolt. They're both found in [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' on the [[Buoy Base Galaxy#Poké Ball Planet|Poké Ball Planet]], 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 like the original purple robot with no springy neck, but once Mario or Luigi spins on the bolt of the bolt Sentry Beam, the planet opens up to reveal the [[Power Star]].

Sentry Beams also have a spiked yellow variant which attacks in the same way as its purple counterpart, but due to its spikes Mario cannot stun it, they also lack eyes.

===Names in other languages===
The final variant of Sentry Beam is a gray, undefeatable, mobile unit with sinister-looking eyes, which hovers around with the aid of a propeller at its bottom. This variant can shoot a straight laser beam at Mario from its mouth that is very fast and very hard to dodge. If Mario stands on its head it will cease all action but once Mario starts moving again it will continue with its attack.

All Sentry Beams are invincible, they cannot be defeated by anything less than [[Rainbow Mario]] himself. Mario can throw [[Bob-omb]]s at the robots but they will still not be destroyed and will resume their attack momentarily.
