Roughly ninety enemies are in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Most enemies drop [[coin]]s if [[stomp]]ed on or [[Star Bit]]s if spun into. If an enemy actively tracks [[Mario]],<ref name=luigi group=note/> it will usually stop moving for a moment after successfully causing damage, allowing the player time to recover before responding. Some enemies, such as Piranha Plants, laugh at Mario when they successfully land a hit. | Roughly ninety enemies are in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

About fifty of the enemies and varieties in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' are wholly new to the series. Some of them are incorporated into subsequent ''Super Mario'' games or have inspired staple elements. Notable groups include: octopus enemies that spit rocks; spinning top-like enemies; and stationary beamers that discharge rings of electricity. Some of the new enemies are derivative of creatures that appeared in earlier ''Super Mario'' games in both design and behavior, such as Goombeetles and Pumpkinhead Goombas being Goombas with respective [[Buzzy Beetle]]-like helmets and jack-o'-lantern helmets, Bomb Boos being explosive Boos unbothered by being stared at, and Spiny Piranha Plants being hefty, thorned versions of the normal Piranha Plants. Many new enemies also appear as extraterrestrial counterparts to previously established enemies, such as Electrogoombas resembling alien versions of Goombas, Monty and Undergrunt being similar to [[Rocky Wrench]] and [[Monty Mole]], respectively, and Gringill being similar to [[Maw-Ray|Unagi]]. Some of them even resemble recurring enemies in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda}}'' series, such as bats (which resemble {{iw|zeldawiki|Keese}}) and the octopus enemies (which resemble {{iw|zeldawiki|Octorok}}s). The Japanese name for Rocto directly derives from "Octorok." In addition, most of the new "alien" enemies are highly incorporated into certain settings and environments; for example, Topmen and Beamers are mainly found in highly militarized locations like the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]], Slurples and [[Flipbug]]s are found almost exclusively in grassy, natural locations like the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]] and [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]] galaxies, while the Jammyfish and Jam-o'-War are only found in dark, abyssal waters. | About fifty of the enemies and varieties in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' are wholly new to the series.

''Super Mario Galaxy'' makes use of the ''Super Mario'' series' back catalog of enemies. This game represents the first instance that some of these enemies were ever integrated into a 3D platformer. There are enemies in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' that, with the exception of rereleases or remakes, never appeared outside of their debut titles. The enemies that are incorporated contrast greatly with the ones in the [[Super Mario Sunshine#Enemies and obstacles|previous 3D ''Super Mario'' game]], a title that made a conservative use of past enemies and introduced ones that largely never appeared again. Some of the returning enemies from previous games are different from before in minor or major ways, such as Micro-Goombas being almost as big as normal [[Goomba]]s with a more rounded body shape, chainless Chomps that act like [[boulder]]s, Urchins rolling along the seafloor rather than swimming freely, Spiny Cheep Cheeps as balloon-like porcupinefish, and Mecha-Bowsers being much more bulky and able to breath fire. | ''Super Mario Galaxy'' makes use of the ''Super Mario'' series' back catalog of enemies.
