A satellite[1][2] is an obstacle in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. These spinning spiked objects appear in the final stage of the Mario Zone only. Satellites are entirely invincible and spin around spheres similarly to a Roto-Disc or its Super Mario Land counterpart (with Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten even suggesting that the satellites might be a mechanical version of the former),[3] though they are a bit slower.

Is it a mechanical version of Roto-Disc?

This is a character that just goes around and around the balls in a circle. They are similar to Roto-Discs (p. 67) in both movement and personality. It is also difficult to avoid them when they appear in large numbers.
