'''Topmaniac''' is a [[List of bosses|boss]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He is simply a larger [[Topman]]. Most Topmen have spikes on their tops, but Topmaniac has ten yellow blades around his edge and a flat red top. He has two robotic-looking yellow eyes on his front along with a couple green arrows pointing in the direction of his 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 him the most fought boss in the game. His name is a combination of "Topman," which is his species, and "maniac," possibly referring to his buzz saw and aggressive behavior. Topmaniac shares the same boss music as [[King Kaliente]] and [[Bugaboom]].

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 him 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 falls from the sky with three [[Topmini]]s and tries to either hit Mario with his spikes or get the Topminis to ram him into a wall.

To hit Topmaniac, Mario must [[jump]] on top of him, which forces him to retract his spikes and spin closer to the walls. Mario must then [[spin]] into him, knocking him into the wall, damaging him in the process. Mario must do this three times to win. However, if Mario defeats the enemies Topmaniac summons, Topmaniac will go for Mario instead of just spinning around randomly. On the third time, instead of Topminis, Topmaniac uses [[Spiky Topman|Spiky Topmen]], who also attack Mario. After Topmaniac is defeated, he releases his [[Power Star]] and the level is completed.

In the Dreadnought Galaxy, Topmaniac is battled again. This time, the level is called [[Revenge of the Topman Tribe]], and Topmaniac 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 he has the same basic 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 [[Prankster Comet#Speedy Comet|Speedy Comet]], which forces Mario to defeat him within six minutes.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*[[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, he was actually gray with light gray stripes, instead of blue arrows. His head was rounded at the top like a normal Topman (instead of the big red light), and his head would rise up like one too.
