A Tracks is visible only when [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) stands still, and it becomes invisible and starts running away from Mario if he moves. The only indication of the invisible Tracks' location is the footprints it leaves in the dirt as it flees (hence the name). If Mario hits an invisible Tracks with a [[spin]], it becomes visible and remains dizzy for a few seconds. Mario can defeat a Tracks by tossing a [[shell]] or a [[fireball]] at it, though the Tracks can avoid either unless it is stunned; while it is stunned, he can also [[jump]] on it. Tracks give 20 [[Star Bit]]s upon defeat. Unlike most enemies, Tracks are not affected by Star Bits flung at them. Tracks are incapable of damaging Mario, even if he intentionally walks into one.
If [[Mario]] can successfully [[Spin]] at the spot where the Starbag is, it comes out and remains dizzy for a few seconds. Mario can also toss a [[shell]] or a [[fireball]] at it, but Starbags can duck them. Once Mario defeats them, they give away twenty [[Star Bit]]s. If the player keeps moving, the Starbag won't appear, so they needs to not move for being able to defeat it.


A similar creature is the [[Moneybag]] that shares similar traits, but gives [[Coin]]s and [[1-Up Mushroom]]s instead of Star Bits.
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Tracks are rare, with only two of them appearing in Starshine Beach Galaxy.

Tracks[1][2] are enemies that appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are turquoise sack-like creatures similar to Moneybags, with legs ending in gray sandal-clad feet and a pair of eyes resembling those of a Blooper. They commonly appear in beaches and other sandy or dirt-filled areas, such as Deep Dark Galaxy or Starshine Beach Galaxy.

A Tracks is visible only when Mario (or Luigi) stands still, and it becomes invisible and starts running away from Mario if he moves. The only indication of the invisible Tracks' location is the footprints it leaves in the dirt as it flees (hence the name). If Mario hits an invisible Tracks with a spin, it becomes visible and remains dizzy for a few seconds. Mario can defeat a Tracks by tossing a shell or a fireball at it, though the Tracks can avoid either unless it is stunned; while it is stunned, he can also jump on it. Tracks give 20 Star Bits upon defeat. Unlike most enemies, Tracks are not affected by Star Bits flung at them. Tracks are incapable of damaging Mario, even if he intentionally walks into one.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Tracks are rare, with only two of them appearing in Starshine Beach Galaxy.
