Appearance

Major Burrows is an abnormally large and pudgy, maroon-colored Undergrunt. He wears a blue Spiny Shell as a helmet (which he also uses to burrow back into the ground). He is also shown to have light blue eyes that are often dilated when his expression changes. He has long white eyebrows similar to Bowser's, and large rounded cheeks. He also has three whiskers on each side of his snout and a big, black nose. He has a large, tannish-coloured rounded belly, and a short flesh-coloured tail, which serves as Major Burrows's weak spot. Burrows also has long, but very sharp, black claws that he uses to attack Mario with. When angry, Major Burrows's blue helmet turns red, and his eyes are golden yellow with no visible pupils.

Combat

Super Mario Galaxy

In Super Mario Galaxy, Major Burrows appears in the Gusty Garden Galaxy's level "The Dirty Tricks of Major Burrows" where he is chasing a Star Bunny around a large tree. At the start of the boss battle, Major Burrows ignores Mario and continues pursuing the helpless Star Bunny. Mario must Ground Pound somewhere near him, when Major Burrows pops up half way out of the ground to stun him. While stunned, Mario must then Star Spin Major Burrows, causing the major to lose a life point. Major Burrows will then turn his attention towards Mario and start chasing him, instead of the Star Bunny. Mario must do the same thing again two more times. However, after Mario performs a ground pound, Major Burrows will run away once he's been stunned, forcing Mario to chase after him. For the final time, Major Burrows will turn red out of frustration and chase Mario at a faster speed. If Major Burrows is stunned, he will retreat back underground and come back fully restored, furiously charging at Mario. Mario will have to do another ground pound, which will cause Major Burrows to run away just like he did the second time. After a final Star Spin, he'll be defeated and will release a Power Star.

The player faces Major Burrows again, with the second fight being part of the Daredevil Comet run. The battle is the exact same thing, except the player only has one life point, instead of three or six. In the credits there is a Picture of Mario fighting him.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Major Burrows reappears in Super Mario Galaxy 2 as the third boss Mario fights in the Boss Blitz Galaxy. His battle is exactly the same as the one from Super Mario Galaxy, although there is no Star Bunny present.

Holy Mole-y! Major Burrows lives on one of the planets in the Gusty Garden Galaxy, and when Mario first sees him, he is trying to munch on a cute Star Rabbit! Force him out from underground with a good ground pound, and strike him three times with a star spin to the tail. After Mario defeats the Major, the thankful Star Bunny rewards him with a Power Star.
