Digga-Leg is a robotic boss inSuper Mario Galaxy 2. It is fought inSpin-Dig Galaxy, first in themission "Digga-Leg's Planet," and later in the mission "Digga-Leg's Daredevil Run" underDaredevil Comet conditions. Digga-Leg shares its boss music with theWhomp King.

Digga-Leg can be seen on its planet in the background of theSuper Mario Galaxy 2 Puzzle Swap panel inStreetPass Mii Plaza for theNintendo 3DS.

Appearance[edit]

Digga-Leg resembles a smallerMegaleg, though it has only two legs and its eyes emanate a red glow. Because of this, it also resembles anOctoomba. Digga-Leg's shape is similar to that of aSwaphopper. Digga-Leg's weak spot is its glass underside, which contains aPower Star. Digga-Leg lets off steam periodically. When the player first encounters it, it slowly activates, then massively lets off steam before attacking.

Battle[edit]

Digga-Leg attacks by stomping around the planetoid and creatingDiggas, which burrow through the ground's surface and try to harmMario. Mario can defeat the Diggas bystomping on their heads or by drilling under them with aSpin Drill. When angered, Digga-Leg jumps high into the air and comes plummeting down, damaging Mario if he is in the way. Unlike with most large enemies, if Mario is hit by its legs, he simply gets knocked away and takes damage instead of getting crushed.

The only way Mario can defeat Digga-Leg is by using the Spin Drill to burrow through the planet from the position opposite its glass underside, similarly to howBlue Yoshi damagesRaphael the Raven inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Each time Mario drills into the glass, it becomes increasingly cracked. This works only if Mario starts drilling from the right area of the planet at the right time. If he misfires, he runs either into one of Digga-Leg's legs or into the protected part of its head and gets bounced back (with an accompanying clang sound). After Mario cracks Digga-Leg's glass underside three times, it explodes, leaving behind the mission's Power Star.

There is also aPrankster Comet for this fight. Digga-Leg has the same attacks as before, except it is a daredevil fight. Therefore, the player has only one health point, making the boss fight significantly harder. Defeating Digga-Leg gives the player a silver crown next to thegalaxy's name if "Silver Stars Down Deep" has also been completed.

Digga-Leg is the only boss inSuper Mario Galaxy 2 whose battle takes place in a 2D segment.
