In the 1993 [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]], it is the meteor {{wp|Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event|that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs}} that separates [[Earth]] into two parallel dimensions; Earth and [[Dinohattan]]. While Dinosaurs become extinct on Earth, they prosper and evolve into intelligent beings in the Dinohattan dimension. Unfortunately, said dimension has poor resources and is compromised of almost entirely a barren, desolate desert. [[President Koopa]] gains control of the dimension through a military coup, with the intent of merging the two worlds. To do this, it is necessary to use a [[Meteorite piece|shard from the meteor]] to combine the worlds. Said piece of meteor plays a pivotal, key role in the movie. | |||

Meteors in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' appear in two sizes and are surrounded by blue fire. Large ones are used as projectiles by the [[Roc]] bosses, while small ones appear in [[Banshee Swamp]], where they follow preset paths through the air, and [[Asteroid Belt]], where they bounce around inside the first asteroid. | |||

Meteors in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' crash into some planets in various [[Galaxy|galaxies]] periodically. If hit by one, [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) will take damage. They first appear being shot from [[cannon]]s by [[airship]]s in the opening, and appear as obstacles shortly after in the [[Gateway Galaxy]]. When Mario traverses the large staircase at the end of [[Bowser's Star Reactor]], [[Bowser]] launches meteors from his mouth to destroy the platforms Mario walks on. In [[Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor]], they fall from the sky during the final part of the battle with [[King Kaliente]]. Meteors prominently appear in the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]] in the mission [[Through the Meteor Storm]], where they rain down during the entire mission.

Said piece of meteor plays a pivotal, key role in the movie.
