UFO: Difference between revisions

'''UFOs''' ('''Unidentified Flying Objects''') or '''Flying Saucers'''{{ref needed}} are the basic means of transportation for aliens. UFOs are high-tech vehicles that can travel large distances in [[space]]. There are also many different kinds and shapes. Some look like saucers (hence the name), and others look like squares.

''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' contains many flying saucers that appear mainly in [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. These UFOs have their own gravity, and [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can walk on the top and the bottom. Two crashed UFOs float on the {{conjectural|Lava Planet}} in the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]]; one of these can be walked upon. These UFOs seem to be in the possession of the [[Topman]] Tribe, due to them commonly being found on or around them. The bosses [[Topmaniac]] and [[King Kaliente]] are fought on UFOs, but only for the first fight in the case of the latter. Additionally, in the intro cutscene, Bowser calls a single UFO to dig the [[Peach's Castle]] surroundings before lifting it. The same UFO appears flying around the Peach's Castle in the cutscene traveling to [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]]. It is not seen being sucked into the [[black hole]] at the end of the game, however. The [[Starshroom]]s act much like UFOs, floating while slowly spinning, but are shaped like [[mushroom]]s.

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', a boss called [[Torkdrift]] and smaller enemies called [[Yoofoe]]s are designed after UFOs. In addition, players can find small UFO-like creatures in the [[Moon Kingdom]] and [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] that behave similarly to the birds of other kingdoms, in that they will fly away when Mario approaches them. One of them in the Moon Kingdom holds a [[Power Moon]] and appears after activating the kingdom's [[Moon Rock]]; in order to obtain it, Mario has to hit the creature from a distance with a downward [[Cap Throw]].

In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', [[ID UFO]] presents various different shaped saucers, as the players must "identify" them.

===''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series===

UFOs make a few appearances in [[microgame]]s in the ''WarioWare'' games. Some examples include: [[Repellion]] and [[UFO Assist]] (''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''); [[Alien Abduction]] (''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''); [[Wario PI]] and [[Unintelligent Life]] (''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''); and [[Nasalblaster]] (''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''). In ''[[Game & Wario]]'', UFOs must be shot down in [[Dribble & Spitz]]'s [[minigame]], [[Taxi (minigame)|Taxi]]. Additionally, [[Orbulon]] has his own personal, pig-shaped UFO called the [[Oinker]].
