They are turquoise sack-like creatures similar to [[Moneybag (enemy)|Moneybags]]. Each Tracks has legs ending in gray, ''{{wp|geta (footwear)|geta}}'' sandal-clad feet; a pair of eyes resembling those of a [[Blooper]]; and a beam of light emanating from the bag's opening. Tracks commonly appear in beaches and other sandy or dirt-filled areas, such as the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]] or [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]], and have the ability to become invisible.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
Tracks first appear as uncommon enemies in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. A Tracks is visible only when [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) stands still, and it becomes invisible and starts running away from Mario if he moves. The only indication of the invisible Tracks' location is the footprints it leaves in the dirt as it flees (hence the name), as well as the slapping noise that comes from its steps. If Mario hits an invisible Tracks with a [[spin]], it becomes visible and remains dizzy for a few seconds. Mario can defeat a Tracks by tossing a [[shell]] or a [[fireball]] at it, though the Tracks can avoid either unless it is stunned; while it is stunned, he can also [[jump]] on it. Tracks give 20 [[Star Bit]]s upon defeat. Unlike most enemies, Tracks are not affected by Star Bits flung at them. Tracks are incapable of damaging Mario, even if he intentionally walks into one.
