The Eye Beamers (also called Scanners) are robotic enemies that appear in Super Mario Galaxy. They appear in a couple Galaxies and omit very powerful lasers that are capable of shocking their targets.
Profile[]
The Eye Beamers are hexagonal robots that have an eye on one side. Their other side is green and yellow. The eyes are white and their pupil is red. The Eye Beamers are flat on the green and yellow side, so Mario/Luigi can use their flat side as a platform if he wishes. Hence their name, Eye Beamers fire scanning lasers from their eyes. These lasers can scan their victim giving them an electric shock which can deal decent damage to their victim (1/3 a total health bar). The plumbers cannot destroy an Eye Beamer.
Appearances[]
Two Eye Beamers circle above the last Speedy Sand planet in the Dusty Dune Galaxy, in the second mission, Blasting Through the Sand. The Dreadnought Galaxy's first mission, Infiltrating the Dreadnought, is the only mission to feature Eye Beamers, placing four of them around the starting planet and another four around the second beam planet. Five more lurk around one of the cube planets, turning to attack when Mario makes his way there. When Mario floods the spherical Aqua Planet, some more Eye Beamers flip over to attack. Being in the water increases the laser's power, since water is a surprisingly good conductor. Mario/Luigi can use the moving Eye Beamers to reach higher platforms and eventually reach the Power Star.

Trivia[]
- Of all the Beamers in Super Mario Galaxy, the Eye Beamer is the only one that omits long, scanning lasers.
