Diggas[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are encountered in Spin-Dig Galaxy only. They resemble drill-fronted Bullet Bills. Diggas drill with their bodies exposed and move in set circular paths along the surface, ignoring Mario (or Luigi). On one rectangular planet, Diggas briefly stop moving along the surface to dig through a wall and come out the other side. They are also launched from the underside of the boss Digga-Leg, like how its predecessor, Megaleg, launches Bullet Bills out of its body. These Diggas burrow all the way through the planet before beginning their typical circular motion. They each have a yellow body, a drill for a nose, angry eyes, a brown rim covered in metal studs on the back end, and no arms or legs. They can be easily destroyed by a jump or a Ground Pound or with a Spin Drill. In a pre-release screenshot, their eyes were farther apart and designed much differently from the final, furthering the resemblance to Bullet Bills.
