'''Twirlips'''<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=30|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Their name is a combination of "twirl" and "tulip," describing their motion and appearance. At first glance, they appear as white bud-shaped creatures that resemble onions with two beady eyes. To attack, a Twirlip turns into a pink flower with a yellow center and quickly spins around the area like a top. While twirling, a Twirlip can be damaged only by [[stomp]]ing on its head, which makes the Twirlip drop a [[coin]]. In a Twirlip's bud form, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can use any attack method to defeat it, which makes the Twirlip drop three [[Star Bit]]s unless stomped. [[Yoshi]] can also eat a Twirlip, but only while it is in bud form. Twirlips appear in only three galaxies in the game: [[Spin-Dig Galaxy]], [[Flipsville Galaxy]], and [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]]. When shot by a Star Bit from the [[Star Pointer]], they get stunned in place for a moment. In their opened form, Twirlips can actually defeat another Twirlip when the latter is stopped by a [[Co-Star Luma]] and the two Twirlips collide.
