A '''Sling Pod''' is an object in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Being alternatives to [[Launch Star]]s, Sling Pods are sticky, rubbery, white wobbly balls of web that can easily entrap [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s. Sling Pods are first seen in the pathway to [[Tarantox]] in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]], and their most prominent appearance is in the [[Sling Pod Galaxy]].


To use a Sling Pod, Mario must [[jump]] into or be near the sticky orb on the top and get stuck in it. With the [[Star Pointer]], the player must then grab on to the top part and hold down {{button|wii|a}}, dragging it far to the side of the area. After the player lets it go, the Sling Pod sends Mario flying out of it in the direction it was aimed. A noise begins sounding if the player ends up pointing offscreen while holding on to the Sling Pod.
