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.
