Arumajiron are armadillo enemies in Donkey Kong for the Game Boy.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]

They appear in the Desert, making their debut in Stage 5-7. They behave just like Rappies and Dotties, walking in circles around the environment, up walls and on the ceiling, at a moderate speed. They do not hurt Mario, and can only push him. Mario can stand on them like on a platform, but cannot pick them up nor defeat them in any way.

Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]

In the Super Mario Kodansha manga, Arumajiron appear in the Donkey Kong adaptation.

In Super Mario: Donkey Kong 2, am Arumajiron is seen with the other enemies building the Tower and attacking Mario and friends in chapter 2 until Monchee interveens; and in chapter 3 one is seen helping the Kongs fight the Kremling Krew, until DK and Donkey Kong Snr. are knocked out, causing the Kong army to retreat after the defeat of their leaders.
