King Kaliente

King Kaliente is a giant octopus-like creature from outer space that appeared in Super Mario Galaxy in the Good Egg Galaxy. To defeat Kaliente, Mario must attack the green coconuts it shoots at him. He has to do this three times. But, on the third time, King Kaliente will attack the coconut Mario hits. Hit it back and forth three times, and on the third time, Kaliente will finally be defeated. Defeat it to get a Power Star. He is then later fought for the sixth Grand Star at Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor. The way to defeat him is still the same, but the surface of the arena is slick, you'll have to hit him with the coconut more times than in the first, and he can do some other tricks earlier. King Kaliente reappears in Super Mario Galaxy 2 at the Boss Blitz Galaxy, along with other past bosses from Super Mario Galaxy. Kaliente is defeated in the same way he is defeated in Super Mario Galaxy.

King Kaliente is said to be the ruler of the octopus-like race the octoombas.
