Upside-Downer

Upside-Downers are malicious entities found in Virtual Boy Wario Land. They resemble humanoid skulls with fangs and frowned eye sockets. They walk on two short feet attached to the bottom of their skulls. Upside-Downers serve the role of enemies during the events of Stage 2.

Much like Droppers from the previous Wario Land title, Upside-Downers cling to and travel along ceilings. They walk a short distance before changing direction in a certain point and going back through the same route. After sensing Wario underneath them, they drop down in an attempt to assault him, downgrading his powers or draining one of his lives if they succeed. On the other hand, once they come into contact with the ground, Upside-Downers are completely at Wario's spare, as they cannot hurt him in any way. In order to escape Wario, Upside-Downers would initially try to run away from him. The protagonist Wario can either Dash Attack them from any side, Ground Pound on their skulls, or pick them up and launch them at other enemies in order to defeat them; however, an Upside-Downer only drops a coin if barged by Wario's Dash Attack.

Should Wario not perform any action to combat these enemies, the latter will eventually leap and soar high enough to reach the ceiling above them, to which they ultimately stick and start roaming again. It is worth to be noted that, while on the ground, Upside-Downers walk off platforms if they encounter edges.
