Nosedozers are semi-common enemies in Wario Land: Shake It! They have white eyes, red forehead, yellow body and a drill. If Wario touches the drill, Wario takes damage. Wario must execute an Earthshake Punch, jump on them, or do a Dash Attack on their back to defeat them. While stunned, Wario cannot stomp on it and has to either take it out with a Dash Attack or by throwing another enemy at it.

Profiles and statistics[edit]

  • Website description:
    • English (American):
      Nosedozers have big drills on their faces. See it? It's right in front of you! Anyway, I can't dash into these guys head-on. I've gotta use strategy and butt-stomp 'em.[1]

    • Use caution when confronted by these drill-faced villains: Though slow, they're quick to hurt Wario if he carelessly dashes into them. Always stun Nosedozers with Earthshake Punches to flip them onto their backs, causing their sharp drills to point upward. Then quickly lash out with dashes to dispatch them before they recover![2]
    • CAUTION: Avoid bouncing off Nosedozers' heads to stun them. It works, but you risk getting poked by their drills after they tip over![2]
