Editing Spin Drill

{{distinguish|Drill Spin|Skipdrill}}

The '''Spin Drill''' is an item in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' that lets the user dig straight down through dirt by shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]. It can be used to cross through to the opposite side of a planetoid, or to reach cavities inside. Using the Spin Drill doubles as an attack, defeating enemies standing where [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] emerges. The Spin Drill ricochets off of hard materials such as metal; [[slope]]d hard surfaces underground can change the user's trajectory.

Despite being held (even making the same sound when picked up as a [[Green Shell]]), the Spin Drill functions as a [[power-up]]; it cannot be dropped unless the user gets hit, touches a [[Launch Star]], or enters a [[Warp Pipe]], and it disappears in the process. Holding a Spin Drill prevents Mario or Luigi from performing certain moves such as the [[crouch]], [[Backward Somersault]], and [[Long Jump]], but they can still [[Side Somersault]] and [[Wall Jump]].

The Spin Drill appears in the [[Spin-Dig Galaxy]], the [[Supermassive Galaxy]] (to defeat three [[Big Koopa Troopa]]s), the [[Flipsville Galaxy]] (during the "[[Flipsville's New Digs]]" and "[[Purple Coin Spin Speed Run]]" missions), the [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]] (at the last planetoid of the "[[Exploring the Cosmic Cavern]]" mission), and [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]].
