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:

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