| '''Topmaniac''' is a [[List of bosses|boss]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is simply a larger [[Topman]]. Most Topmen have spikes on their tops, but Topmaniac has ten yellow blades around its edge and a flat, red top. It has two robotic-looking yellow eyes on its front along with a couple green arrows pointing in the direction of its rotation. Topmaniac is fought up to four times when [[Prankster Comet]]s are taken into account; twice in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and twice in the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]], making it the most fought boss in the game. Its name is a combination of Topman, its species, and maniac, possibly referring to its buzz saw and aggressive behavior. Topmaniac shares the same boss music as [[King Kaliente]] and [[Bugaboom]]. | |

| ==Battle== | | ==Appearance== |
| ===Battlerock Galaxy===
| | Topmaniac is simply a larger Topman. Most Topmen have spikes on their tops, but Topmaniac has spikes on its side and a flat top. It attacks [[Mario]] by spinning into him with its spikes and occasionally by jumping into him. It also has eyes on his front. |

| |
| Topmaniac is fought for the first time in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]], in the level, [[Topmaniac and the Topman Tribe]] at the very end on the [[Battlerock Galaxy#Topman Planet|Topman Planet]].
| |
|
| |
|
| In this battle, Mario must hit Topmaniac three times, each time getting harder, to finally knock it out and win the battle. The location of the battle is an arena with electric barriers on the side for Mario to hit if he gets blasted off to the side. At the beginning of the battle, Topmaniac will fall from the sky with 3 Topminis, and try to either hit Mario with its spikes or get the Topminis to ram him into a wall.
| | ==Combat== |
| | | [[image:Topmaniac.PNG|thumb|left|Topmaniac and several Topmen battling [[Mario]].]] |
| To hit Topmaniac, Mario must jump on top of it, which will force it to retract its spikes and spin closer to the walls, Mario must then [[Spin]] into it, knocking it into the wall, damaging it in the process. Mario must repeat this three times to win. However, if Mario defeats the enemies it summons, Topmaniac will go for Mario instead of just spinning around randomly. On the third time, instead of Topminis, Topmaniac will use [[Spiky Topman|Spiky Topmen]], who also attack Mario. After Topmaniac is defeated, it releases its [[Power Star]] and the level is completed.
| | Topmaniac is fought in an arena surrounded by electric barriers. Mario must jump on top of Topmaniac, which knocks him out and causes his spikes to retract. Mario can then perform a [[Star Spin]] to knock Topmaniac into the electric barriers, which damages it and wakes it up. This must be repeated three times to defeat Topmaniac. Damaging Topmaniac also causes lesser Topmen to appear. |
| | |
| Topmaniac is [[Topmaniac's Daredevil Run|fought again]] in this galaxy when a [[Prankster Comet|Daredevil Comet]] comes, which forces Mario to defeat it with only one point of health.
| |
| | |
| ===Dreadnought Galaxy=== | |
| [[File:SMG Dreadnought Galaxy Topmen.png|thumb|left|Topmaniac's second fight]] | |
| In the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]], Topmaniac is battled again. This time the level is called [[Revenge of the Topman Tribe]], and it is fought in a [[Dreadnought Galaxy#Topmen Planet|different location]]. In this location there are, once again, electric barriers, but this time they are moving.
| |
| | |
| In battle, Topmaniac must be hit three times once again, and has the basic same strategy as the time before with one minor difference: in this battle, Topmaniac begins with two Spiky Topmen instead of Topminis as before.
| |
| | |
| Once again, Topmaniac is battled when a Prankster Comet arrives. However, this time, the comet is the Speedy Comet, which forces Mario to defeat it within six minutes.

| *[[List of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content|During production of ''Super Mario Galaxy'']], Topmaniac was seemingly originally going to be fought in the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]], which had several elements from the Dreadnought Galaxy. Here, it was actually gray with light gray stripes, instead of blue arrows. Its head was rounded at the top like a normal Topman (instead of the big red light) and its head would rise up like one too. | | *Topmaniac shares the same boss music as King Kaliente and Bugaboom. |
