Pupdozers[1] areenemies inSuper Mario Galaxy 2 and itsNintendo Switchport. They aredinosaur-like creatures with a row of purple spikes on their backs, short tails, yellow underbellies withGround Pound symbols, and brown backs. They usually patrol a small area.Mario orLuigi can defeat them only by usinggrates to flip them over, causing the weak spot on their bellies to be exposed. Defeating them yields acoin.
They appear exclusively inFlipsville Galaxy's first mission, "Flip-Flopping in Flipsville", where the boss is a giant Pupdozer calledGlamdozer.
