Octoguys[1] are recurring enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are different from the other Octoombas as they shoot rocks in an arc and both pursue or flee from the player while attacking rather than sidling back-and-forth a short area. After fleeing for some time, they will eventually tire themselves out and be forced to catch their breath for a short while, giving more time for the player to defeat them. Octoguys resemble Octoombas, but they are magenta, have a chubbier face, and a calmer default expression. Their antennae have a unique shape, with a large and a small bulb at the end. Their tripod feet are smaller and flatter, and have orange soles and visible suckers like those of an octopus.
History
Super Mario Galaxy
In Super Mario Galaxy, they are semi-common enemies appearing in varying amounts in the Honeyhive Galaxy, Buoy Base Galaxy, Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada, Gold Leaf Galaxy, and Deep Dark Galaxy, effectively replacing Electrogoombas in later missions. In the Honeyhive Galaxy, they appear in the water-filled planet, trying to prevent Bee Mario from getting to the Queen Bee. They also appear on the Queen Bee's planet. Two of them appear on the fortress in the Buoy Base Galaxy, with one able to be defeated by a nearby Thwomp. In the Gold Leaf Galaxy, three of them appear around the big tree in the first mission and five appear on the final planet of the second mission in the water-filled section. In the Deep Dark Galaxy, they guard a Fire Flower that is needed for Mario or Luigi to proceed through the level. A lone Octoguy also appears in Bubble Blastoff, trying to knock Mario off a pole he is climbing.
