Ring Beamers, also known as Pulse Beams,[1][2] are circular yellow mechanical enemies that appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their heads are covered in spikes. When Mario or Luigi approaches, Ring Beamers attack by emitting a circular shockwave that damages him if he touches it.

History

Super Mario Galaxy

In Super Mario Galaxy, Ring Beamers are featured in the Toy Time Galaxy and the Dreadnought Galaxy. They are stationary enemies that fire lasers in a circular shockwave formation, which will damage Mario or Luigi if he makes contact with them. They cannot be destroyed or stunned by any means.

Ring Beamers reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, behaving identically to their first appearance, appearing in the Shiverburn Galaxy and the Grandmaster Galaxy. Unlike their debut appearance, this incarnation of them can be stopped by the Co-Star Luma but not destroyed.
