A '''Mini-Topman''' is the smallest of the [[Topman]] species, appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' as part of the Topman Tribe. They appear as small bright yellow tops. They typically stay in groups of two to three. Their only attack is a spin which inflicts no damage to [[Mario]] but will knock him backwards and stun him for several seconds. Though incapable of damaging the player directly the Mini-Topmen can use their spin to push Mario into electric fences and other hazards to harm him. The Mini-Topmen can be defeated by a [[Spinning|Spin]], this causes the enemy to explode and leave behind a single [[Star Bit]]. However, in many areas after the Mini-Topmen are defeated a hole will appear and more of the enemies will emerge from it. They can be released from a Topmen-Shockwave-Generator, which can only be found in [[Buoy Base Galaxy]].

Topminis are enemies in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. They are encountered in several levels, mostly in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. Topminis are typically found in groups of two to three, and they try to spin into [[Mario]], simply pushing him backwards. This move, though incapable of damaging Mario directly, can push him into some sort of hazard that damages him. Topminis can be defeated only from a [[spin]], causing them to explode into one [[Star Bit]], or from a Star Bit being shot at them, in which case they reward three Star Bits instead. In many areas after the Topminis are defeated, a hole appears and more of the enemies emerge from it.
 
In the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] only, Topminis can be released from the [[Sentry Garage]] that attempts to knock Mario into something dangerous. Occasionally, they are released from [[Spring Topman|Spring Topmen]] as well after they are attacked.

Topminis are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy. They are encountered in several levels, mostly in the Battlerock Galaxy and the Dreadnought Galaxy. Topminis are typically found in groups of two to three, and they try to spin into Mario, simply pushing him backwards. This move, though incapable of damaging Mario directly, can push him into some sort of hazard that damages him. Topminis can be defeated only from a spin, causing them to explode into one Star Bit, or from a Star Bit being shot at them, in which case they reward three Star Bits instead. In many areas after the Topminis are defeated, a hole appears and more of the enemies emerge from it.
