The aquatic Mikey Mines first appear in a dormant state until approached, at which point they make a radar sound, open their eyes watch Mario unless he goes away again.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Space Mines are usually found floating in large groups that must be passed with [[Pull Star]]s, [[Sling Pod]]s, or [[bubble]]s. Most hold still, spinning in place, but a few travel in lines or in circles along a glowing pink track.

Mikey Mines[1][2] are underwater enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They resemble naval mines and have eyes that glow like headlights. They regenerate themselves after a few seconds after detonating. They can be defeated without harming Mario (or Luigi) if they are hit by a Star Bit or a Koopa Shell. There are faceless variants of Mikey Mines called Space Mines found suspended in mid-air throughout both games. Mikey Mines themselves are rare in comparison, appearing in only one galaxy in each title.

Their eyes and name imply they are related to Bullet Bills.
