Smogrins[1][2] are enemies that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are purple clouds with glowing red eyes and sharp-toothed grins. They move back and forth either horizontally or vertically, followed by a trail of several smaller clouds with no faces. Smogrins are vulnerable to every attack method, although their trailing clouds can be destroyed without harming the main enemy. Smogrins have two variants: the medium-sized Hefty Smogrin and the large-sized Big Smogrin. Neither of them feature the regular Smogrin's trailing clouds.

Smogrins appear in the following courses:

According to official Japanese Nintendo blog posts, they dream of becoming cumulonimbus clouds.[2]
