Broozer



A Broozer (Also known as Boozer or Boxer) is a boxing ghost found in the game New Super Mario Bros.

Broozers can be found in Ghost Houses and once in an underground stage, these purple ghosts seemingly have a one-track mind. Broozers blindly run into the direction of Mario (or Luigi), punching at anything in their way. These enemies can be useful, and they 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 a 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.

Trivia

 * Broozer is derived from the word bruiser, as in bruised.
