Spin Drills are items that appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Mario can pick up a Spin Drill and drill directly through planets and dirt. When standing on a spherical planet, the player can use the Drill to go through the surface to the other side by shaking the Wii Remote. The Spin Drill can also uncover hidden inside areas of planets that are otherwise unaccessible. It cannot drill through hard/metallic/un-drillable surfaces. If Mario gets hit or touches a Launch Star while holding the Spin Drill, it will disappear. It plays a major role in the Spin-Dig Galaxy, but it re-appears in later galaxies such as the Supermassive Galaxy, where it is used to defeat 3 Gargantua Koopa Troopas, the Flipsville Galaxy during its Silver Stars mission and Purple Coin mission, Bowser's Galaxy Generator and Cosmic Cove Galaxy, at the Exploring the Cosmic Cavern level.
