Megahammer

The Megahammer is one of Bowser Jr.'s robots appearing in Super Mario Galaxy 2. This robot can be found in Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet, a location at the end of World 3. It is fought on a ringed planet made of metal. In the game, he serves as the main boss of Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleer, is the second/final boss of World 3 and is overall the ninth (tenth if counting the Mandibug Stack) boss of Super Mario Galaxy 2.
After he is defeated, the Megahammer can be seen on the Starting Planet of Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker, this time broken. However, his Bill Blasters still work, which is necessary to bust open the cage on his right arm so Mario can use the Cannon to make his way deeper into the galaxy.
==Profile==
===Physical description===
The Megahammer is large mostly green orb clown-like robot. He has Bowser Jr's pod underneath its head. The head is white with glowing plus-sign like eyes that are yellow. The arms are long with hammers for hands. The chest has light blue glasses and the one on the back is larger. The chest also has two Bill Blasters.
==Battle==
===Phase 1===
When the Megahammer makes his entrance, Bowser Jr.'s pod grows a mask and attaches itself to a robot body. When the battle starts, Mario must gather Yoshi, if the former hasn't already, who can use his tongue to grab a Bullet Bill that can shoot at Megahammer's blue glass-like orbs to break it as an attack. Afterwards, Yoshi must gather a Bullet Bill with his tongue and shoot it at Megahammer. If not shot on an orb, it won't affect Megahammer. Yoshi is required for the battle, and various Yoshi Eggs appear around the arena because of this. Sling Stars occasionally appear for Mario and Yoshi to shoot at the back of Megahammer instead of walking for a long time to reach the back. However, Megahammer will unleash a shockwave from his middle in retaliation. Megahammer's most powerful attack is a hammer slam which occurs only after one of his orbs is broken.
===Phase 2===
When Mario and Yoshi successfully attack all of Megahammer's blue glass orbs, Megahammer opens his head with glass on it so Mario can use Yoshi to get a Bullet Bill to shoot the glassy part twice when the robot performs his hammer slam attack to fully defeat Megahammer and to continue on to World 4.
The Megahammer's attack pattern is unchanged in the Daredevil Comet mission Megahammer's Daredevil Run.

==Trivia==
*In beta versions, the Megahammer was originally called "Mighty Mattelloid" which is a combination of the words "Mallet" and "Planetoid" due to his strategy. This was seen in a Boy's Life magazine.
*The Megahammer is the second boss of Super Mario Galaxy 2 to be fought with Yoshi, the first of which being Giga Lakitu.
*The Megahammer, in his attack patterns and the way the Player(s) damage him, is similar to the Egg King from Sonic Rush. Both have weapons they can shoot to damage the player (Lasers for Egg King, and Bullet Bills for MegaHammer) and their primary form of attack is by slamming onto the ground with hammer like hands.
**The Megahammer also shares some similarities with the boss Spinderella from the significantly less popular game Dynamite Headdy. Both are in the center of a ring the player moves around, and their primary form of attack is slamming onto the ground. Both are also defeated by destroying something on the boss's main body (Power cell for Spinderella, and blue glass orbs for Megahammer). They even both end with something flying out of the top of the machine (Key for Spinderella, Bowser Jr. for Megahammer)
*The Megahammer shares many similarities to Bouldergeist from Super Mario Galaxy previously:
**They both appear in the third main area of the game (Bouldergeist: Kitchen, Megahammer: World 3).
**Both bosses are fought in the middle of a round platform.
**They both are fought as either the ninth or tenth bosses depending on if the Mandibuzz Stack is counted as a boss.
**Both bosses posses attacks that is projectile-like and fights with their hands.
**They both are fought very similar in that their bomb-like attacks must be launch back at them.
**Both bosses have eight hit-points.
*Megahammer posses the second most hit-points out of any boss of Super Mario Galaxy 2, having eight hit-points in total, the only one that posses the most hit-points is Bowser who if counting all three fights, posses fourteen hit-points.
