'''Satellite''' are spinning spiked enemies that appeared in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. Their behavior is extremely similar to that of a [[Roto-Disc]], although they are quite a bit slower. They appear in the final level of the [[Mario Zone]] and are found spinning around spheres much like Roto-Discs. They cannot be defeated and will block [[Mario]]'s path.

Satellites[1][2] are obstacles in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. These spinning spiked objects appear in the final stage of the Mario Zone only. Satellites are almost entirely invincible and spin around spheres similarly to a Roto-Disc or its Super Mario Land counterpart (with Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten even suggesting that the satellites might be a mechanical version of the former),[3] though they are a bit slower. They can be defeated only by running into them while invincible.

Is it a mechanical version of Roto-Disc?

This is a character that just goes around and around the balls in a circle. They are similar to Roto-Discs (p. 67) in both movement and personality. It is also difficult to avoid them when they appear in large numbers.
