Revision as of 11:02, May 22, 2023 by Nintendo101 (talk | contribs) (It has become apparent to me that there is a variant to this object in the same game called the "gold screw". Rather than give it its own article, it is probably better to lump it here and give the article a broader name. The green valve in the game really mirrors these objects too and can probably share an article with them.)

Blue screws[1] are spinnable objects in Super Mario Galaxy. They are embedded into the terrain of industrialized galaxies, such as the Battlerock Galaxy and Buoy Base Galaxy. Performing a spin while on top of a blue screw embeds it into the ground and triggers a nearby event. There is a gold screw[2][3] variant (also called a golden bolt,[4] yellow screw,[5] and golden screw)[2] that appears in some of the same galaxies as blue screws. During "Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser", blue and gold screws are imbedded into the body of Mecha-Bowser. Unscrewing them causes its body to fall apart. In Buoy Base Galaxy, a gold screw is attached to a Ball Beamer and disengages it when spun.

Blue screws are very similar to valves.
