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 faceless clouds. 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:
- Bulrush Coming Through!
- Cosmic Hoppos
- Countdown to Drop Down
- KO Arena Fluff-Puff Kerfuff
- The Midway Trial: Hop to It
- The Final Trial: Zip Track Dash
- Dragon Boneyard
- Expert Badge Challenge Spring Feet II
- Missile Meg Mayhem
According to official Japanese Nintendo blog posts, they dream of becoming cumulonimbus clouds.[2]
