'''Topmaniac''' is a [[List of bosses|boss]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is simply a larger [[Topman]]. Most Topmen have spikes on their tops, but Topmaniac has ten yellow blades around its edge and a flat, red top. It has two robotic-looking yellow eyes on its front along with a couple green arrows pointing in the direction of its rotation.

Topmaniac and two Spiky Topmen battling Mario

Topmaniac is fought for the first time in the Battlerock Galaxy, in the level Topmaniac and the Topman Tribe at the very end on the Topman Planet. In this battle, Mario must hit Topmaniac three times, each time getting harder, to finally knock him out and win the battle. The location of the battle is an arena with electric barriers on the side for Mario to hit if he gets blasted off to the side. At the beginning of the battle, Topmaniac falls from the sky with three Topminis and tries to either hit Mario with his spikes or get the Topminis to ram him into a wall.

To hit Topmaniac, Mario must jump on top of him, which forces him to retract his spikes and spin closer to the walls. Mario must then spin into him, knocking him into the wall, damaging him in the process. Mario must do this three times to win. However, if Mario defeats the enemies Topmaniac summons, Topmaniac will go for Mario instead of just spinning around randomly. On the third time, instead of Topminis, Topmaniac uses Spiky Topmen, who also attack Mario. After Topmaniac is defeated, he releases his Power Star and the level is completed.

Topmaniac is fought again in this galaxy when a Daredevil Comet comes, which forces Mario to defeat it with only one point of health.

Dreadnought Galaxy

Topman
Topmaniac's second fight

In the Dreadnought Galaxy, Topmaniac is battled again. This time, the level is called Revenge of the Topman Tribe, and Topmaniac is fought in a different location. In this location, there are, once again, electric barriers, but this time, they are moving. In battle, Topmaniac must be hit three times once again, and he has the same basic strategy as the time before with one minor difference: In this battle, Topmaniac begins with two Spiky Topmen instead of Topminis as before.

Once again, Topmaniac is battled when a Prankster Comet arrives. However, this time, the comet is the Speedy Comet, which forces Mario to defeat him within six minutes.
