Glass cases,[1] also known ascages,[2]glass domes,[3] orglass spheres,[4] are objects inSuper Mario Galaxy andSuper Mario Galaxy 2. They are hollow glass spheres held together by steel bars. They appear floating in the air or partially embedded into the ground, resembling hemispheres. Glass cases often contain items of interest, such asStar Bits,1-Up Mushrooms, andPower Stars. In the first game, glass cases can be broken only by luredBullet Bills, an essential element in defeating the bossMegaleg. This remains the case inSuper Mario Galaxy 2, butMario (orLuigi) can also break glass cases directly with theSpin Drill.Yoshi can hold and directly launch a Bullet Bill,Spiny Egg, orCrabber claw from his mouth at glass cases. A glass case is part of the bossDigga-Leg, and targets similar to glass cases are built into the exterior ofMegahammer.
