Broozer

A Broozer is a boxing ghost found in New Super Mario Bros.

Found in Boo Houses and once in an underground stage, these purple ghosts seemingly have a one-track mind. Broozers blindly run into the direction of Mario, punching at anything in their way. These enemies can be useful, such as breaking a ? Block that holds a Mushroom. Broozers can punch unbreakable bricks, allowing Mario to reach items and Star Coins that could not otherwise be reached. Mario must jump on a Broozer three times to defeat it. However, a Ground Pound, being hit by Mario doing a Shell Dash, or Fireball can defeat these enemies in one hit. Also, because of their unusually bad traction, Broozers often can be forced to fall into gaps in the floor by running past their target and being unable to stop.
