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.

Mikey Mines' eyes and name imply they are related to Bullet Bills.
