'''Smeeches'''<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=29|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> are flying [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', only appearing in missions featuring [[Yoshi]]. They are pink spherical creatures with a pair of beady eyes and plump lips, and they are based on the [[Poink]] enemy from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "smooch" and "leech."

Smeeches are first encountered in the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]], starting with the first mission, [[Saddle Up with Yoshi]]. They are encountered later on in the [[Hightail Falls Galaxy]], the [[Haunty Halls Galaxy]], the [[Sweet Mystery Galaxy]], and the [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]]. Smeeches flee from [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] if they encounter them. However, if either player character is riding Yoshi, they float towards him, eventually kissing Yoshi and attaching to his mouth. This prevents Yoshi from using his tongue or eating [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruit]]s, and Smeeches also latch on to his mouth if he tries to eat one. A Smeech remains attached to Yoshi's mouth for as long as it can, even when the player uses a [[Launch Star]]. The Smeech can be defeated with a [[spin]] or a [[jump]] from the unmounted Mario or Luigi; Yoshi can also perform a [[Head Shake]] to remove the Smeech, causing it to vanish and drop [[Star Bit]]s. If Mario or Luigi dismounts or is knocked off Yoshi, the Smeech detaches from Yoshi's mouth and begins to hover away.

Smeeches behave similarly to the [[wikirby:Leap|Leap]]s from the [[wikirby:Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], which they also closely resemble, and {{iw|smashwiki|Bucculus}} from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

==Notes==
*If the player goes into first-person mode while riding Yoshi with a Smeech attached, they are able to see inside the Smeech, though only its lips are visible.
*If the player collects a [[Power Star]] while riding Yoshi with a Smeech on his mouth, it appears in the "You got a Star!" scene.
