Template:GBoss-infobox Kingfin is a boss in Super Mario Galaxy. It is a giant skeletal shark, living in the Bonefin Galaxy. To defeat it, Mario must attack it with Koopa Shells.
Kingfin can summon robotic fish from the craters in the planet, that work the same way as Torpedo Teds, chasing Mario down from all directions. The more damage Kingfin takes, the more robotic fish it will summon to attack Mario. After being hit with 5 Shells, it will explode, earning Mario another Power Star.
