Snoodles[1] areenemies inSuper Mario Galaxy 2 and itsNintendo Switchport. They aretube worm–based creatures that look like plants with thick green stems and blue bubble-like heads at first sight. However, whenMario orLuigi approach one of them, it opens its eyes. Snoodles' only method of attack includes trying to block the player characters from advancing by leaning towards a set location. These enemies can easily be defeated with aGreen Shell or even by the light shone by the shell itself. Also, the player can shoot twoStar Bits at them or even justspin into them to defeat them. Upon defeat, Snoodles retract into their holes.
