Digga-Leg is the only boss in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' whose battle takes place in a 2D segment.

The only way to defeat Digga-Leg is for [[Mario]] to drill through the planet from the opposite position of its glass underside to puncture it, but it must be done from the right area of the planet at the right time. If the player misfires, Mario will either run into one of Digga-Leg's legs or his protected part of his head (with an accompanying clang sound). Digga-Leg attacks mainly by stomping around the planetoid. It will also summon [[Digga]]s. The player can defeat the yellow drill-creatures by stomping on their heads or by drilling under them.

When angered, Digga-Leg will jump high into the air and come plummeting down, damaging Mario if he was in the way. After being hit three times with the [[drill]] on the underside, the boss succumbs, explodes, and grants Mario the level's Power Star.

Digga-Leg is a robotic boss in Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is fought in Spin-Dig Galaxy, first in the mission Digga-Leg's Planet, and later in the mission Digga-Leg's Daredevil Run under Daredevil Comet conditions. Digga-Leg shares its boss music with the Whomp King. Digga-Leg was originally going to be called "Digg-Leg," but this was changed in the final version of the game.

Digga-Leg can be seen on its planet in the background of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 Puzzle Swap panel in StreetPass Mii Plaza for the Nintendo 3DS.

Appearance[edit]

Digga-Leg resembles a smaller Megaleg, though it has only two legs and its eyes emanate a red glow. Because of this, it also resembles a Snifit. Its shape is similar to that of a Swaphopper. Its weak spot is its glass underside, which contains a Power Star. It lets off steam periodically. When the player first encounters it, it slowly activates, then massively lets off steam before attacking.

Battle[edit]

Digga-Leg attacks by stomping around the planetoid and creating Diggas, which burrow through the ground's surface and try to harm Mario. Mario can defeat the Diggas by stomping on their heads or by drilling under them with a Spin Drill. When angered, Digga-Leg jumps high into the air and comes plummeting down, damaging Mario if he is in the way. Unlike with most large enemies, if Mario is hit by its legs, he simply gets knocked away and takes damage instead of getting crushed.

The only way Mario can defeat Digga-Leg is by using the Spin Drill to burrow through the planet from the position opposite its glass underside. Each time Mario drills into the glass, it becomes increasingly cracked. This works only if Mario starts drilling from the right area of the planet at the right time. If he misfires, he runs either into one of Digga-Leg's legs or into the protected part of its head and gets bounced back (with an accompanying clang sound). After Mario cracks Digga-Leg's glass underside three times, it explodes, leaving behind the mission's Power Star.

There is also a Prankster Comet for this fight. Digga-Leg has the same attacks as before, except it is a daredevil fight. Therefore, the player has only one health point, making the boss fight significantly harder. Defeating Digga-Leg gives the player a silver crown next to the galaxy's name if Silver Stars Down Deep has also been completed.

Digga-Leg is the only boss in Super Mario Galaxy 2 whose battle takes place in a 2D segment.
