Mikey Mines first appear in a dormant state until approached, at which point they make a radar sound, open their eyes, and watch Mario unless he goes away again. If detonated, they reappear in a small form before returning to normal. They appear attached to chains, with ones on long chains moving vertically along their length. A group of them holds still around a shipwreck that must be destroyed by detonating them for the mission "[[Boo in a Box]]."
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Space Mines are usually found floating in large groups that must be passed with [[Pull Star]]s, [[Sling Pod]]s, or [[bubble]]s. Most hold still, spinning in place, but a few travel in lines or in circles along a glowing pink track.

Mikey Mines[1][2] are underwater enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They resemble naval mines and have eyes that glow like headlights. They regenerate themselves after a few seconds after detonating. They can be defeated without harming Mario (or Luigi) if they are hit by a Star Bit or a Koopa Shell. There are faceless variants of Mikey Mines called Space Mines found suspended in mid-air throughout both games. Mikey Mines themselves are rare in comparison, appearing in only one galaxy in each title.

Mikey Mines' eyes and name imply they are related to Bullet Bills.

History

Super Mario Galaxy

Mikey Mines first appear in a dormant state until approached, at which point they make a radar sound, open their eyes, and watch Mario unless he goes away again. If detonated, they reappear in a small form before returning to normal. They appear attached to chains, with ones on long chains moving vertically along their length. A group of them holds still around a shipwreck that must be destroyed by detonating them for the mission "Boo in a Box."

Appearances

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Mikey Mines return in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and now move vertically without a chain. They are found individually in narrow watery passages, though they still respawn if destroyed.
