Water Shooters are enemies appearing in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They look like and function in a very similar manner to the Squirt Nozzle used by FLUDD in Super Mario Sunshine, though Water Shooters are blue, while FLUDD is yellow, and the water produced is in the form of a bubble, rather than a spray. These bubbles, while harmless, capture Mario or Luigi and whisk him away on contact, generally serving as a hindrance, but occasionally are used to transport the player elsewhere. If Mario or Luigi is caught in a bubble, using the spin breaks him out.

History

Water Shooters first appear in Super Mario Galaxy. Sometimes, they are not active until a certain goal is achieved, while some in the Buoy Base Galaxy are deactivated by spinning a valve. Since their bubbles count as water, Bee Mario and Boo Mario are reverted to normal Mario if caught in them.
