Burt



Burts are round, peach-colored enemies with large red noses and have blue and white striped pants that go up to their eyes. They appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS. Burts attack in pairs. After jumping on its partner, a Burt will get a big boost, and the same goes for Yoshi if it jumps on a Burt. If one was defeated, the other would jump non-stop. Notable Burts include Burt the Bashful and also the Burt Bros.. If killed, these rotund ballerinas will yield two Stars or three Coins. They can be disposed with an egg or, though tough, a ground pound. Burt the Bashful was originally a normal sized Burt but was made bigger by Kamek.

Trivia

 * The French name of the Burts is Bélixo. If you switch the last letter to the first, the result will be Obélix, who the Burts resemble.
 * Burts bear a striking resemblance to Strollin' Stu from Super Mario Sunshine, it's possible that the citizens in Isle Delfino give them a different name.
