Robot turtles[1] are objects inSuper Mario Galaxy and itsNintendo Switchport. They areKoopa-like platforms found on a planet within theDreadnought Galaxy. AfterMario floods the planet by luring aBullet Bill to break a vault, two robot turtles (which were semi-buried in the ground previously) emerge and start moving across the surface of thewater. They enable Mario to reach someStar Bits and climb back onto the main body of the planet. The objects' Japanese internal name, which translates to "Mercator Turtle (Ocean)," refers to a method of cartographic projection, seemingly in reference to their elliptical trajectory path relative to the planet's shape.
