Smeeches' only method of attack is kissing and sucking [[Yoshi]]'s lips, making him unable to use his tongue or eat [[fruits]]. If Yoshi tries to eat one, the creature will suck on his lips. They can only be defeated with a [[Spin]] or get jumped on. Also, they will flee from [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] if they are not riding Yoshi. To get a Smeech off of Yoshi's mouth, Yoshi himself has to spin his head to make the Smeech vanish, dropping [[Star Bit]]s. If Mario or Luigi dismount or get knocked off Yoshi, the Smeech will detach from Yoshi's mouth and hover away.


Smeeches are first encountered in the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]], ever since the first mission, [[Saddle Up with Yoshi]]. They are encountered later on in the [[Hightail Falls Galaxy]], the [[Haunty Halls Galaxy]], the [[Sweet Mystery Galaxy]], and the [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]].

Template:Species-infobox Smeeches[1] are small, spherical enemies that only appear in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. They appear as pink winged creatures with two beady eyes and plump lips. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "smooch" and "leech."

Description

Smeeches are first encountered in the Yoshi Star Galaxy, starting with the first mission, Saddle Up with Yoshi. They are encountered later on in the Hightail Falls Galaxy, the Haunty Halls Galaxy, the Sweet Mystery Galaxy, and the Starshine Beach Galaxy. Smeeches will flee from Mario and Luigi if they encounter them. However, if either of them are riding Yoshi, they will float towards them, eventually kissing Yoshi and attaching to his mouth. This prevents Yoshi from using his tongue or eating fruits, and they will also latch on to his mouth if Yoshi tries to eat one.

The Smeech will remain attached to Yoshi's mouth for as long as it can, even when using a Launch Star. They can be defeated with a spin or a jump from the unmounted Mario or Luigi; Yoshi can also spin to remove the Smeech, causing it to vanish and drop Star Bits. If Mario or Luigi dismount or are knocked off Yoshi, the Smeech will detach from Yoshi's mouth and begin to hover away.
