Glass cases,[1] also known as cages,[2] glass domes,[3] or glass spheres,[4] are objects in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are hollow glass spheres held together by steel bars. They appear floating in the air or partially embedded into the ground, resembling hemispheres. Glass cases often contain items of interest, such as Star Bits, 1-Up Mushrooms, and Power Stars. In the first game, glass cases can be broken only by lured Bullet Bills, an essential element in defeating the boss Megaleg. This remains the case in Super Mario Galaxy 2, but Mario (or Luigi) can also break glass cases directly with the Spin Drill. Yoshi can hold and directly launch a Bullet Bill, Spiny Egg, or Crabber claw from his mouth at glass cases. A glass case is part of the boss Digga-Leg, and targets similar to glass cases are built into the exterior of Megahammer.
