MarioWiki:BJAODN/Enemies

Jokes about enemies! Yes, these things were on actual articles.

Air Bag
Trivia
 * The name is a pun on the word airbag.

Albatoss
Albatosses used to be normal residents of Subcon until the maniacal Wart seized power. The toad king ordered the red birds to be part of his military. Albatosses were trained to carry Bob-ombs and drop them on civilians who would otherwise make for the new dictator.

Artichoker
Most of the time, Artichokers remain stationary, appearing to be normal shrubs. This is, in fact, a clever survival mechanism that allows the Artichokers to prey on unsuspecting travelers. Since items can sometimes be found in shrubs, an unlucky adventurer may accidentally stumble across an Artichoker, instead of treasure. After falling for the deception, the adventurer will have to fight the plant monster in combat. Unfortunately for the traveler, Artichokers prove to be very tough opponents.

Arukaroten
An Arukaroten is a Chain-Chomp like creature that are inside Bowser but he kidnaps Princess Peach but Mario, Luigi and Bowser wanna fight and save Peach.

Bandit
Paper Mario They can dash at an amazing speed towards Mario.

[...]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door They have lost their amazing speed.

Big Bob Omb
Strangely, the cannonballs in Super Mario 64 looked just like him, only without any features except the body.

Big Scorper
Trivia

("For context, the page was named "SandWorm" before being moved. This is what happen when you're not careful with Word search & replace.")

Blindfold Boo
As they cannot see where Yoshi is located, they trust in their auditive senses to perceive the Yoshi's location and then attack.

Bob-omb
{{Species-infobox |expand=expandable |image= Artwork of a Bob-omb from Mario Party: Star Rush. |species=bomb

(This was in the page source for, most likely, years. - Binarystep)

Bonecoaster
Trivia
 * The Bonecoaster is probably a dead snake (possibly even a dry snake).

Boo
[...] booes are scared of themselves when they look in a mirror.

("...Isn't the plural boos?")

[...]

Trivia
 * The boos' ability to freeze when looked at and move when not is used by aliens called Weeping Angels in the British Sci-Fi show Doctor Who.

("Someone explain to me how being forced to freeze when looked at is an ability. --")

[...]

Mario Bros. Boos make an appearance in the Super Mario All-Stars remake of Mario Bros.. This version of Super Mario All-Stars is for the NES. Koopa Troopas, who replace Shellcreepers, and Spinies also appear in the remakes of Mario Bros., but not in the same remake as Boos. Boos also replace the green fireballs from the original Mario Bros..

("Man, I'd love to play some Super Mario All-Stars on the NES!" --)

Boo Guy
Boo Guys employed a variety of traps in the game, including maces. Individual Boo Guys operated a single mace attached to a long chain. When a Boo Guy spotted a Yoshi, the ghost would drop the mace from the ceiling, hoping to crush the dinosaur. However, the Yoshi would have to be directly under the mace for the attack to be effective, and the Boo Guys tended to simply drop their maces continuously, instead of dropping the weapon at the most opportune moment. Since the weapon was heavy, it would take some time for the Boo Guy to pull the ball up to attempt another attack, allowing the Yoshis to pass safely underneath the weapon. This was the only way to get past these weapons, as the chain itself would actually damage the heroic dinosaurs.

[...]

After dropping the bomb, the unfortunate Boo Guy would eventually hang its head down in shame, while the other ghosts shook their heads in disappointment.

Borboras
If it spots the player,it blows the player.

("Oh my god." - )

Bowbow
They have a pale-colored body with a hunched back and stubby arms; they also wear shoes. Their snout is darker in color than their body, and is located right under the place where two beady cartoony eyes pop out. Bowbows display some long, splayed dog ears.

Brobot L-Type
Its HP amount is a reference to the Nintendo 64, since, as seen in Luigi's Diary in Paper Mario, he likes Nintendo 64s (at least at the time of Paper Mario), since he wonders excitedly if the Shy Guys have a Nintendo 64.

Bugaboom

 * Bugaboom's eyes look strangely hypnotic, meaning that it may not have been the one who planned the Mandibug attack and just may have been hypnotized into assaulting Mario. Of course, this may also mean that Bugaboom is simply demented.


 * It then proceeds to attack Mario just like a regular Mandibug would except it is much bigger.


 * Glamdozer's boss music seems to be a remix of Bugaboom's theme. They also have similaraties, as both a bigger version of their species, and both need to be ground-pounded to be defeated, like their species.

Bully
Two Bullies appear in a screenshot on the Japanese website for Super Mario 3D World. In Super Mario 3D World, the Bullies have your paper of Super Mario 64 and are defeateds how in Super Mario 64 and with your voices of Super Mario 64.

Burt
If defeated, these rotund ballerinas will yield two Stars or three Coins.

Cheep-Cheep
(Spot the error)

Condor
Go to Klepto for more info.

Cherbil
Apparently, they are based off a pair of buttocks.

("I originally asked for source on this claim, but it appears both Tippi and O'Chunks imply it having a butt-like appearance. Still, this wording is funny to me." - )

Chief Chilly
Out of all the moustached bosses from Super Mario 64 DS, Chief Chilly takes greatest pride about his moustache.

("I'm trying to remember how many moustached Bosses there were in SM64DS. I can only think of two." - )

("There were three" - )

Crowber
Names in other languages

Dark Bristle
The Quake Hammer badge as well as POW Blocks and Earth Quakes are incredibly useful against these enemies. They will flip them over for two turns, dropping their Defense to 0 and making them utterly defenseless.

Dark Star
Trivia
 * Culex, from the first RPG Mario, has a attack called "Dark Star". However it's possible that it doesn't has anything to do with "this" Dark Star.
 * Oddly enough, the Dark Star has more menacing eyes than Dark Star X.

("So red eyes are more menacing than blue eyes? How did I miss that?" - )

("But keep in mind that menace is in the eye of the beholder." - )

Dodo
However, he unhealthily holds in his anger, which he releases by pecking golden statues of his boss.

("This is a wiki about the Mario series, not a repository of health advices for fictional characters.")

Drool Hard
Drool Hards are relatives of Hanging Blow Hards but don't have the swing.

Dry Bones
Trivia
 * According to the New Super Mario Bros. series, Dry Bones never walk off into pits or lava. This suggests that Dry Bones are no ordinary undead Koopa Troopas, they are undead Red Koopa Troopas, since these enemies never walk off cliffs or into pits, either. It may also be that these Koopa Troopas decided to be more careful for now on, after whatever decision they made before they died.

Fire Snake
[...] it begins to chase him by bouncing and try to touch him with its flaming body.

("That sounds wrong in so many ways." - )

Flurry
In Super Mario Bros. 2, Flurries are clumsy enemies that run along the ice chasing after Mario. In most cases, they are easy to avoid, since they have poor traction and can slip off of the platform they're on to their doom. They usually appear in groups in an attempt to corner Mario or any of his allies. They only appear in the World 4.

Giant Snake (Wario Land 3)
Giant Snakes are apparently invincible, since none of Wario's attacks succeed in defeating them (a ground pound on their heads merely make them retract into their jars and nothing more). However, if Wario opens a chest in the presence of a snake, the monster instantly vanishes, leaving a short-lived amalgam of moving stars (symbolising sudden disappearance), just like any other enemy or object found beside that chest. This can be seen when the player unlocks the blue chest in The East Crater, as there is a Giant Snake nearby.

Giga Lakitu
DO NOT under estimate this lakitu to much or it will be the end of that life (note: do not over estimate him either).

Goomba
No one ever knew but the goomba's where hiding a secret identity. You may know and love these mushrooms as goombas but they are really called Jimmy!!! Jimmy is a common name for a retard but if you have ever [played mario superstar baseball, jimmy runs super fast and is not that smart for wearing two shoes on one foot. So that is how he got the name jimmy.Now,you all must think that Jimmys live in the Mushroom Kingdom but that is so fake!!Jimmys are very poor and live in boxes on the streets on Mushroom Kingdom.They are drug-atics and they sell drugs in their boxes.Well,now i hope you know the real story of the goombas(Jimmy)

[...]

Goombas resemble mushrooms very closely. It is important that when playing Super Mario that a Goomba is not mistaken for a mushroom. Goombas are very hard to destroy, however, they appear to be small and weak looking.

Hot Roderick

 * Hot Roderick is a resemblance on Elmo, a character of Sesame Street.

<-( ....where does the resemblance even start?)

Hyper Spiky Goomba
A Hyper Spiky Goomba is a Hyper Goomba with a spike on its head. It has extremely powerful attacks, and it itself is not easy to take down, either, with that nasty spike on its head. Ordinarily, their attack power is three, but when Charged, watch out for an incredible nine attack point attack. Mario needs to really stay on his toes with this Goomba.

K-9
Curiously, instead of running away from the invincible Mario, the K-9s will foolishly continue to home in on Mario, running right into him and being instantly destroyed.

Kackle
Trivia
 * Most think Kackle is the 5th scariest thing in a Nintendo game.

Klamber
Klamber 50% spider 50% crab 100% annoying.

("And this is 150% nonsense." - ")

Klepto
(On March 30th 2008, the content on the Klepto page was replaced with a cut & paste of the Wikipedia article about Infocom, a well-known publisher of Interactive fictions games. The vandalism was reverted nine hours after it was made, but the vandal soon struck back and replaced the content with that of another Wikipedia page, this time the article about the Star Wars character Jango Fett (a reference to Klepto's Japanese name). Because of the sheer length as well as the amount of broken coding involved, those revisions aren't directly archived on BJAODN.)

King Boo
Apparently wearing a small crown is enough to make you king, but ones from Burger King aren't enough to make your girlfriend call you her majesty. I suppose that's another story.

Kritter
Not all Kremlings are bad, though; some, such as K. Lumsy and the Kritter goalies of Mario Smash Football seem to be decent individuals

Snooze-a-Koopa
Snooze-A-Koopas (also known as Snooza Koopas) are bizarre-looking Koopas encountered by Mario in the game Super Mario Sunshine.

("So it's more notably bizarre for a turtle to look like a turtle than to look like a mole, ox, chameleon, or brutish frog?" - )

Koopaling
How [Bowser] treats them is debatable as he has never had any intercourse with them besides the credits of Super Mario World.

("Sickest Typo I ever saw." - )

("Actually, this is misleading, but correct. The first definition of intercourse in the third edition of the Collins English Dictionary is "communication or exchange between individuals; mutual dealings." Still, don't do this." —.)

Koopa Troop
The Koopa Troop [...] is a militaristic dictatorship led by Bowser, King of the Koopas. [...] According to Kammy Koopa in Paper Mario, the motive for the clan is to have revenge against all who have treated Koopas poorly. However, most of their clear goals some based entirely on Bowser's own interest.

("The fine example of imposing a little too much darkness in what is an otherwise fantasy, gleeful series aimed at all ages." - BLOF)

[...]

The Koopa Troop is unstoppable. Bowser has an unlimited supply of soldiers; the Koopa Troop also has an massive army such as (with tanks), a maritime navy (with battleships), an air force (with airships), and a space fleet with massive spacecrafts as seen in the Super Mario Galaxy series. Despite having such a huge military, the Koopa Troop is continuously defeated by the legendary Mario Brothers, the heroes of the Mushroom Universe, as well as those who assist the Mario Bros. on their missions to protect the Mushroom Universe (such as Toads).

("How can you be defeated if you're unstoppable!?" -BLOF)

("By the way, I would like to point out the absurd nature of this paragraph in general. Unlimited supply of soldiers? In a video game? Maritime navy? Air force? Space fleet? I don't see any of that. I see creatures just trying to walk into Mario." - BLOF)

[...]

Villainous Plans All media
 * Kidnapping and marrying Princess Peach.

("Oh, we gotta add polygamy to affiliations of the Koopa Troop!" - )

Koopa Troopa
Biology The Koopa Troopas' most known caracterist is their shells, that resmbles turtles' shells (this fact has formed a rumor that Koopa Troopas are turtles). Another famous caracterist is their shell's protection that can be knocked, attacking other enemies (as seen in many platform games).

Physical Appearance Koopa Troopas' shells comes in four colors: green, red, yellow and blue. The most known are the green and red ones, specially, the green ones.

All Koopa Troopas have a gold-yellow skin and a big snout. They also have light brown joints at their chests and abdomen (as seen in Bowser), however, this part of their body are covered with their shells.

Koopa Troopas also use shoes of the same color of their shells.

Speech In the course of the Mario franchise, Koopa Troopas are seen to have English as their native language. In the games that character's voices aren't shown speaking phrases, Koopa Troopas make owl-like sounds, having English just legenged. This can be because Koopa Troopas have their own language, that Mario (or other characters) can understand. In Paper Mario series, all Koopa Troopas knows only speak English. Also having Koopa Troopas partners speaking this same language, through speaking bubbles.

Gender Koopa Troopas have their gender differences, being male or female. An exemple is a Mario Party 5 mini-game called Flower Shower. This mini-game presents the marriage of two Koopa Troopas (one using a bow tie [a common man garment] and other using a bow [a common woman garment]).

Reproduction Are not known if the Koopa Troopas' reproduction is sexually or asexually, however, are known that they born from eggs, just like Yoshis.

Kroc
Trivia
 * Some one thinks Kroc is the 8th scariest thing in a Nintendo game. He also thinks Kroc uses King K Rool's vocals.

Kuff 'n' Klout
Kuff 'n' Klout (also known as the Kremling Twins ) are extra-big, beefed-up Kremlings in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. Even stronger and burlier than the massive Krumples, Kuff 'n' Klout are found only in Krematoa. They first appear in Stampede Sprint and Criss Kross Cliffs, and they even have their very own underground level, called Tyrant Twin Tussle, where they attack by playing a game of leapfrog and by racing about the screen, shoulder to shoulder.

The Kremling Twins are nearly invincible, since they can only be defeated by using barrels, by using Squitter's webs, and theoretically, Ellie's trunk squirting and Squawks's egg spitting. If only one of them is defeated, the other will continue to charge and then disappear when Dixie or Kiddy go offscreen, or target them to avenge his fallen counterpart (SNES version), or remain motionless and suddenly disappear a few seconds later (GBA version). According to the game's credits, Kuff 'n' Klout belong to the "Kremling Kreeps" enemy class.

Lord Fredrik
Names in other langues Lord Fredrik

("Fredrik, the refrigerator guy")

Master Necky Snr.
After one is defeated, the other goes crazy and shoots four nuts at a time.

(It's worth noting that the "goes crazy" part was on the page ever since September 8th of 2008 before getting removed.)

Maw-Ray
Maw-Rays, previously known as Unagi, are moral eels that first appear in Super Mario 64.

("Takes a strong sense of good to lunge out of a hole with a star attached to you, scaring innocent children worldwide." - Doc von Schmeltwick)

Monstar
Also notable about the battle is the fact that Monstar was invulnerable to Star Spirit attacks and the Shooting Star item, perhaps because stars can't hurt other stars.

("Yet a Star Beam can destroy Bowser's shield powered by a Star Rod.")

Mooke
mooke is a kind if goomba that does not appear in any game because they are stupid and dumb. they were supposed to appear in mario & luigi partners in time but their roles were occupied by the shroobs, so thats why they dont appear in any game

Nana
Trivia
 * Nana's name comes from what some kids call their grandmothers.
 * Nana's name suggests that she is a grandmother, possibly to Henry and Orville, as she owns the key to their room.

Naval Piranha
After being hit with enough eggs, Naval Piranha succumbs to the abuse and is defeated.

Ninji
Paper Mario: Sticker Star If they are jumped on/hammered at the wrong time, they will poof and leave a log (also known as a decoy) behind, meaning the attack will be a miss, then run back into battle while falling from the top screen having their arms up high and landing safely with style.

("It's not falling, it's landing with style." - )

Nosedozer
Nosedozers are simply damaging Bandineros. See Bandinero.

("On the left is a Bandinero. On the right is a Nosedozer.")

Pak E. Derm
Trivia
 * In Yoshi's Story, Pak E. Derm's path blocking is similar to that of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.

Pestnut (Chucklehuck Woods)
It appears that Beanies use Pestnuts as costumes but this is unknown if Pestnuts are costumes.

Pharaoh Guy
Yoshi can reproduce them to yarn balls normally.

Pirate Goomba
Pirate Goomba is a pirate Goomba.

(It should be noted that this line quickly became a running gag around the Super Mario Wiki.)

Pirate Goombaa is an upgraded version of Pirate Goomba.

Pitchfork
Types of Enemies Pitchforks are not the bosses of levels. They are just normal enemies.

[...] Characteristics Pitchforks are Bandineros with a fork cap on their head from Wario Land: Shake It!. Not only cyan Pitchforks are in Wario Land: Shake It!: also lila-pink Pitchforks exists. These are a combination of a yellow Bandinero and a cyan Pitchfork, because they will jump.

Threat As seen on the image identifying a Pitchfork on this article, their threat is 2/3.

("They mean the infobox")

Similar Enemies Some similar enemies to a Pitchfork include other kinds of Bandineros, Goombas, Paragoombas, Electrogoombas, and Astrogoombas.

Puncher Boo
PUNCHER BOO

The puncher boos apear in new super mario bros. DS. They are just like a boo but they punch:bricks... Simply they are in the boo house waiting for mario /luigi come in then they attack!

Punchinello
As far as any rational being is concerned, his physical appearance resembles absolutely nothing this side of death itself (besides, possibly an eggplant).

Rainbow Shell
"I'm Rainbow Shell, and I love Wendy!"

Spine Koopa, Super Mario Kworlds

Rainbow Shell is the tenth koopaling of Bowser's. He is a the only koopa with cruches. He has hair almost like Ludwig's, exept it has pointed edges. Rainbow Shell is in world eight with Bowser, his castle is Koopa Clown Car shaped at the bottom, and the top like the Reznor's fortress.

("He's in love with his sister :O" - )

("Who's the 9th Koopaling?")

Rappy
Although they might be mouse enemies, Rappies are actually bigger than mice and thus they resemble rats. The origin of the name "Rappy" may be interpreted in two ways: it is either derived from the fact that the word "rat" sounds closely to "rap", or inspired from a character pertaining to the TV show Tom & Jerry Kids, called Rap Rat - a gangster rat who constantly sings in a rap cadence. Likewise, the name could be inspired from Rap Rat, a board game developed by A Couple 'A Cowboys which involves an odd and rankling antropomorphic rodent bursting out of a cheese hole and explaining the instructions useful for the game.

("Seriously now, what's up with media associating mice and rats with rap music?")

Rey boo
Rey Boo seems a bit on Big Boo. He has his eyes are closed, but... he is lighter, and then he will again be the same color!

("This makes no sense.")

Re-Koil
They always seem to have a stupid grin on their face and are sometimes seen with their tongue hanging out; also, their eyes perpetually stare in different directions, which may imply that they suffer from divergent strabismus.

("Hmm, what do we know about the biology and related subject of the Donkey Kong universe, really?")

The R.O.B. Squad
These are enemies found in the Subspace Emissary also see Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The escort the [[Ancient Minister brings with him is a R.O.B squad?! There are some that fire beams and others that fire missiles.

There are other enemies that will appear and try to impede your progress. Good luck! Don’t lose! And don’t run away!

There are three types:
 * R.O.B. Sentry
 * R.O.B. Launcher
 * R.O.B. Blaster

("What a great strategy: Don't lose! I'll keep that in mind.")

Rocky Wrench
Trivia
 * Rocky Wrenches look a lot like Monty Moles and use an attack pattern similar to them; they also have shells similar to those of Buzzy Beetles; this could make them a cross between the two. (Go ahead and picture how that could have been accomplished)

("We really needed that mental image.")

Sammer Guy
Trivia
 * Their name is a pun on Samuri, and Guy.
 * They could be a spicies of Shy Guy they might have a mask on, because the bearded ones beards don't move when they talk. Possibally because the makers of Super Paper Mario can't do that.

Scram
Trivia
 * A prize won by a character named Tino in the TV Show The Weekenders would go on to resemble Scram, although, due to the obscurity of the character, it is likely that this resemblance is coincidental.

Shiny RoboBowser
During the fight, various shiny paper minions (e.g. Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and Shy Guys) will occasionally break off of Shiny RoboBowser's armor. While they don't actually do anything interesting, Shiny RoboBowser can absorb them at any time to repair his armor and recover health at around 25 HP per minion.

("Doing nothing interesting does not make it a shining affair! It makes it trash!")

[...]

Skeeters are fat and red enemies in New Super Mario Bros.

("Calling an enemy fat would be like calling Mario fat on every single article. The statement in bold stayed on the article since its creation until now.")

Small Spider
Small Spiders are large purple spiders[...].

Snoodle
Trivia The name Snoodle, may be the words snail, an small animal and noodle, another word for pasta.

A Snufit Ball is a small black orb that Snufits spit out of their tubular mouths at Mario in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. They can easily be avoided, but will hurt Mario by one damage point if he touches them.

(While deleted, Snufit Ball lives on in the memory of the Super Mario Wiki users who wish to see its article aggressively recreated someday.)

Spiky paragoomba
Spiky Paragoomba, hmmmmmmm? Never heard of it. It doesn't exsist. But for the fun of it, I made a page for it. HP is 3 Attack is 5 and Defense is 2. Pretty cool huh?

("Someone give this man a medal.")

Spiky Tromp
Trivia
 * Spiky Tromps supposedly are to Spiny Tromps as Thwimps are to Thwomps and Whimps are to Whomps.

Sproing-Oing
When attacked, they split into three smaller Sproing-Oings, giving the attacker another thing to worry about.

Spud
Trivia
 * In an early scene in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, one of the Hammer Bros. actually refers to Baby Mario as a "spud". However, he was not referring to the enemy Spud.

Super Dimentio
Despite being the final boss, Shadoo (with the heroes' dark clones' HP added altogether) is stronger than Super Dimentio. Also the Tower Power Pokey, Gooper Blooper, Mizzter Blizzard and Bowser in Paper Mario Sticker Star have more HP and attack then Super Dimentio.

("ok")

("Do some fact-checking before comparing apples to oranges: Gooper Blooper has less attack than Super Dimentio.") -

Super Dry Bones
Sad Articuno tries to cry. but... dry bones and sad articuno tries someday.

("That was so.... deep")

Torpedo Ted

("Later that evening, the Torpedo Ted decided to cut himself." - )

[...]

Torpedo Teds have very smiling grins on their faces, which means that their arms are more farther away from the face.

("Guess they got over their depression.")

[...]

Super Mario World Torpedo Teds first appeared in Super Mario World and resided in Soda Lake. Mario and Yoshi encountered Torpedo Teds during their adventures in Dinosaur Land. Torpedo Teds moved fairly fast and could be hard to avoid due to the narrow pathways within Soda Lake. '''This enemy can be defeated with a star, because this sprite was not progammed for invincibility glitch because: They give many lives when "bounce" in the player. But this star may be in code or by the level editor.'''

("You can see the editor's neurons progressively dying as the sentence continues.")

Thwack Totem
Trivia
 * The enemy resembles a totem pole.

("Gee I never would have guessed..." - )

Thwomp

 * In Mario Kart 64, the track ( in Mario Kart Wii) is green in color and imprisoned behing bars for unknown reasons. Fans named this thwomp and it is rumored he is improsoned for helping Mario reach a Star. It Returns in Mario Kart Wii but it not green in color and looks like the current thwomps.

Whomp
Trivia Whomps used to be incredibly Handsome creatures however, after years of having their only attack be slamming their faces down on the ground...well ya know


 * When a Mini-Yux is in the presence of its greater being, an unbreakable shield will be created around the main Yux unit; the only way to abolish this shield is to destroy all of Mini-Yux in the way.
 * Mini-Yux are a variety of Yux that have been created to serve and protect their greater being.
 * Mini-Z-Yux are small, cone shaped offspring of the Z-Yux. The Mini-Z-Yux have an identical mission to that of a regular Yux: They must shield the Z-Yux from harm as it attacks opponents. One Mini-Z-Yux will reproduce per turn. As with the Mini-Yux, the player must eradicate the Mini-Z-Yux in order to break down the barrier protecting the Z-Yux.
 * Mini-X-Yux are the protectors of the X-Yux. Mini-X-Yux are small, blue cone shaped creatures, of which, two are spawned to protect its greater being per turn.
 * Thus, to attack Sir Grodus in a no-holds-barred fashion, one must annihilate all Grodus Xs.
