'''Topmaniac''' is a boss in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It resembles a red spinning top, and is the leader of the [[Topman]] tribe. It is fought twice, once in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and once in the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]].  
'''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 is fought up to four times when [[Prankster Comet]]s are taken into account; twice in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and twice in the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]], making it the most fought boss in the game. Its name is a combination of Topman, its species, and maniac, possibly referring to its buzz saw and aggressive behavior. Topmaniac shares the same boss music as [[King Kaliente]] and [[Bugaboom]].

===Battlerock Galaxy===
Topmaniac is simply a larger Topman. Most Topmen have spikes on their tops, but Topmaniac has spikes on its side and a flat top. It attacks [[Mario]] by spinning into him with its spikes and occasionally by jumping into him. It also has eyes on his front.
[[File:SMG Topmaniac Battle.png|thumb|left|Topmaniac and two [[Spiky Topman|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 [[Battlerock Galaxy#Topman Planet|Topman Planet]].


==Strategy==
In this battle, Mario must hit Topmaniac three times, each time getting harder, to finally knock it 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 will fall from the sky with 3 Topminis, and try to either hit Mario with its spikes or get the Topminis to ram him into a wall.
===Battlerock Galaxy===
 
[[Image:Topmaniacarena.jpg|thumb|right|A view of '''Topmaniac''''s battle arena]]
To hit Topmaniac, Mario must jump on top of it, which will force it to retract its spikes and spin closer to the walls, Mario must then [[Spin]] into it, knocking it into the wall, damaging it in the process. Mario must repeat this three times to win. However, if Mario defeats the enemies it summons, Topmaniac will go for Mario instead of just spinning around randomly. On the third time, instead of Topminis, Topmaniac will use [[Spiky Topman|Spiky Topmen]], who also attack Mario. After Topmaniac is defeated, it releases its [[Power Star]] and the level is completed.
Like all other ''Super Mario Galaxy'' bosses, Topmaniac takes three hits to knock out and gets harder after every hit. It is fought in an arena with electric barriers on all sides (though Mario can jump out of the arena at any time). Topmaniac will fall from the sky with two little objects and extend spikes which it will then use to try to hit Mario. Mario must jump on top of it all the while avoiding and/or taking out the little objects which are trying to kick him into the electricity. When Topmaniac is jumped on, its spikes retract and it goes close to the electric barriers, at that time Mario must [[Spin]] it into the electricity. The second time is the same as the first except now Topmaniac spins faster and goes for Mario. Finally, on the third time, Topmaniac calls in reinforcements in the form of two Topmen who attack Mario as well as Topmaniac himself. Once Mario finally rams it into the electricity a third time, it will release a [[Star]].


Topmaniac is fought twice in this galaxy, but the second fight is part of the [[Daredevil Comet]] run.
Topmaniac is [[Topmaniac's Daredevil Run|fought again]] in this galaxy when a [[Prankster Comet|Daredevil Comet]] comes, which forces Mario to defeat it with only one point of health.


===Dreadnought Galaxy===
===Dreadnought Galaxy===
Topmaniac fights the same way as before in this galaxy. However, the electric barriers will move around, and have gaps at certain sections. During the fight, Topmaniac will send out some Topmen to beat up Mario.
[[File:SMG Dreadnought Galaxy Topmen.png|thumb|left|Topmaniac's second fight]]
In the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]], Topmaniac is battled again. This time the level is called [[Revenge of the Topman Tribe]], and it is fought in a [[Dreadnought Galaxy#Topmen Planet|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 has the basic same 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 it within six minutes.

Battle[edit]

Battlerock Galaxy[edit]

Mario in a boss fight against Topmaniac in Super Mario Galaxy.
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 it 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 will fall from the sky with 3 Topminis, and try to either hit Mario with its spikes or get the Topminis to ram him into a wall.

To hit Topmaniac, Mario must jump on top of it, which will force it to retract its spikes and spin closer to the walls, Mario must then Spin into it, knocking it into the wall, damaging it in the process. Mario must repeat this three times to win. However, if Mario defeats the enemies it summons, Topmaniac will go for Mario instead of just spinning around randomly. On the third time, instead of Topminis, Topmaniac will use Spiky Topmen, who also attack Mario. After Topmaniac is defeated, it releases its 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[edit]

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 it 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 has the basic same 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 it within six minutes.
