'''Water Shooters''' are two types of devices that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', first appearing in [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. The first type shoots water similarly to the [[Squirt Nozzle]] used by [[F.L.U.D.D.]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the only difference between the two nozzles being that Water Shooters are blue in color while [[F.L.U.D.D.]] is yellow.

'''Water Shooters''' are enemies appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They look like and function in a very similar manner to the [[F.L.U.D.D.#Squirt Nozzle|Squirt Nozzle]] used by [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', though Water Shooters are blue, while FLUDD is yellow, and the water produced is in the form of a [[bubble]], rather than a spray. These bubbles, while harmless, capture [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] and whisk him away on contact, generally serving as a hindrance, but occasionally are used to transport the player elsewhere. If Mario or Luigi is caught in a bubble, using the [[spin]] breaks him out.


The second type of Water Shooter looks the same as the first, however, instead of shooting water, they produce bubbles. [[Mario]] can get into the bubble and float in the air for a time, using them mainly to reach some inaccessible points.

Water Shooters first appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Sometimes, they are not active until a certain goal is achieved, while some in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] are deactivated by spinning a [[valve]]. Since their bubbles count as water, [[Bee Mario]] and [[Boo Mario]] are reverted to normal Mario if caught in them.


The Water Shooters also appear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Here, they appear in the [[Space Storm Galaxy]]'s second mission, which is more or less based upon the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]]. They were in the first section with the fast-moving floor. They also shot bubbles faster than before, though they could be slowed down with a [[Ground Pound Switch]].

Gearmo during The Floating Fortress, Super Mario Galaxy

Water Shooters are enemies appearing in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They look like and function in a very similar manner to the Squirt Nozzle used by FLUDD in Super Mario Sunshine, though Water Shooters are blue, while FLUDD is yellow, and the water produced is in the form of a bubble, rather than a spray. These bubbles, while harmless, capture Mario or Luigi and whisk him away on contact, generally serving as a hindrance, but occasionally are used to transport the player elsewhere. If Mario or Luigi is caught in a bubble, using the spin breaks him out.

Water Shooters return in Super Mario Galaxy 2. In the Space Storm Galaxy's second mission, they move abnormally fast, like most other obstacles in the mission, and can be slowed down with a blue switch. Bee Mario and Cloud Mario get reverted to normal Mario if caught in their bubbles.
