| | A '''Sling Pod''' is a rather silly alternative to a [[Boost Star]] that gets [[Mario]] around in some areas of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Sling Pods are first seen in the pathway to [[Tarantox]] in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]]. |

| |
| 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.
| | Sling Pods are sticky rubbery white wobbly poles with a soft spiky orb on top of them that Mario and [[Toad]]s can easily get stuck in. When there are no Boost Stars, there will probably be Sling Pods, if not [[Float Star]]s. |

The Sling Pod will send Mario flying out of it wherever it was aiming for, then wobble a bunch. |
