The Topman Tribe is a tribe of robot enemies that first appear in Super Mario Galaxy. They resemble tops and are always spinning, trying to attack Mario (or Luigi). They appear in the Battlerock Galaxy, Buoy Base Galaxy, and Dreadnought Galaxy. They travel throughout space in top-shaped flying saucers and are led by Topmaniac. The Topmen have also been seen in a Mario Kart Wii competition in Wi-Fi, exclusively in the Galaxy Colosseum course. They are very weak to electricity, as spinning them into electric currents instantly defeats them (with the exception of Topmaniac).
There are three types of Topmen. Topminis are little yellow ones that reflect the player off if the player touches one. They can be defeated by spinning into them. There are also green ones called Spring Topmen that are bigger than the Topminis that the player can jump off like a spring. The third Topman is called the Spiky Topman, which is the same size as the Spring Topman. The player cannot jump on Spiky Topmen due to the large spikes on their heads.
All three types make a small appearance in Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the Space Storm Galaxy.
