Kiddokatto[1] are toy-soldier enemies in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins.
History[edit]
Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins[edit]
In Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins, Kiddokatto are encountered in Mario Zone's Crane Course. Much like Goombas, they just march forward, usually appearing one after the other. They can be defeated by either being jumped on or from a fireball.
Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]
In the Super Mario Kodansha manga, Kiddokatto first appear in Super Mario Kart 3, where several of them surveil a house in the Safari Course where the animal cubs are kept as prisoners by Wario. Despite the numbers, Mario and a lion manage to jump over them and save the cubs.
A Kiddokatto platoon appears in Super Mario Land 2 - 6-tsu no Kinka 2, unable to hurt Mario with their face pellets, so they resort using Bomubomu as cannons.
In Super Mario Land 2 - 6-tsu no Kinka 3, a Kiddokatto appears as one of the several enemies that Mario and Luigi quickly pass by inside Wario's Castle. One is seen in the after-story chapter, witnessing in fear the presumed-return of "Wario" with two Goombas.

Names in other languages[edit]
Unlike most mainline Super Mario titles, Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins did not receive officially localized enemy indexes at the time of its release on the Game Boy and not all enemies are listed in its instruction booklets. Consequentially, most available non-Japanese names come from localizations of the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia.
