Small Fry Guy

Mini Fryguys were the living remains of Fryguy after the flame monster was destroyed in World 4 of Super Mario Bros. 2. These smaller fire monsters continued the fight in Fryguy's place and attempted to defeat Mario and his friends in combat. To attack, a Mini Fryguy would hop towards Mario, attempting to burn the plumber with its harmful flames. Like Fryguy, Mini Fryguys could be destroyed with Mushroom Blocks. Unfortunately, after a Mini Fryguy was destroyed, the remaining flame monsters would get progressively faster. However, even the speediest Mini Fryguy could not defeat Mario. Ultimately, the five Mini Fryguys were destroyed, and Mario and his friends moved on to World 5.

Trivia

 * Mini Fryguys bare an uncanny resemblance to Lava Bubble from the Paper Mario games.
