Armads are armadillo-like enemies that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
History[edit]
Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]
Armads first appear in the Sunbaked Desert level Armads on the Roll. Upon seeing a player, an Armad will curl up into a ball and roll at the player. If an Armad is on a slope, it will roll down it. If a player jumps on an Armad, it will be rolled up and can be picked up and thrown, just like Koopa Troopas. Some Armads have coin trails behind them.
Minecraft[edit]
In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, Armadillos are retextured to look like Armads. They are the first new enemies from Super Mario Bros. Wonder to appear in the game.
