History[edit]

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]

They only appear in Stage 5-2 of the Desert. Miira have the same behavior as Aqua Man enemies, as they shuffle continuously on a platform, changing direction after encountering a wall or the edge of said platform. Mario will lose a life if he touches their front or back sides. Miira can be stood on, then picked up and thrown at other enemies to defeat both the enemy and the Miira. A Miira can also be defeated with a Hammer.

Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]

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

In the bonus chapter of Super Mario: Donkey Kong 1, a Miira is one of the animal attractions in Peach Zoo.

In Super Mario: Donkey Kong 2, a Miira 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.
