Sumo Bro: Difference between revisions

|relatives=[[Sledge Bro]]<br>[[Thunder Lakitu]]

'''Sumo Bros.''' (or '''Sumo Brothers''') are a type of [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] with similarities to [[Sledge Bro]], [[Chargin' Chuck]], and [[Boom Boom]]. They pound their foot (a sumo movement known as {{wp|Glossary of sumo terms#shiko|shiko}}) to create thunderbolts that traverse floors and then explode shortly after. Sumo Bros. first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

In ''Super Mario World'', Sumo Brothers are large and orange in color and wear black shells. They also have a spike on top of their heads, meaning [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] will be injured if they jump on one. They stand on top of blocks and attack Mario by stomping their foot, which causes a spark to drop below; this spark ignites when it hits the ground, making a wall of fire. A Sumo Brother can only be defeated by throwing a [[Green Shell|Shell]] at them, by hitting them with a cape as [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] or by touching them with Mario when he is powered-up by a [[Super Star]]. Hitting the block they are standing on from below also works but is more difficult than other means due to the fires caused by their lightning-stomp attack.

Sumo Bros. return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', with the same abilities that they had in ''Super Mario World'', except that they make electric waves instead of fire waves. They can be defeated by hitting the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]]s that they are standing on from below. They can also be defeated with [[Ice Ball|ice ball]]s, but cannot be picked up when they are frozen. They only appear in [[Screwtop Tower]].

One Sumo Bro wearing two {{wp|Glossary of sumo terms#tsuna|tsuna}} on his shoulders, known as [[Boss Sumo Bro]], appears as the boss of Screwtop Tower, replacing [[Boom Boom]]. [[Kamek]]'s magic has made him larger, and he now has the ability to jump. Unlike Boom Boom and Magikoopa, Boss Sumo Bro does not appear on top of the tower he guards.

In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', Sumo Bros. reappear in [[Sumo Bro Bridge]] and [[Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower]], where the boss reappears as well.

Sumo Bros., alongside a [[Boss Sumo Bro]], appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where origami variants of them act as enemies. [[Olivia]] implies that the "bro" in their name is literal and likely related to their leader. During the battle with Boss Sumo Bro, two Sumo Bros. will accompany him on clouds, while four Sumo Bros. will land on the ground and each steal a panel: the ON panel, the Fire and Earth Vellumental Magic Circles, and the Double Attack panel. Mario must defeat the Sumo Bros. to recover the panels. Using either Vellumental Magic Circle will defeat them instantly (dealing 200 damage). After all four Sumo Bros. are defeated, the two on the clouds will land alongside Boss Sumo Bro, and will each steal a Magic Circle. They are weak to [[Fire Flower]]s.

''He is a super-heavyweight character, second only to Sledge Bro (p. 171). He is the yokozuna of the turtle tribe, moving left and right on the block with his scurrying feet, which is said to be the basis of sumo wrestling. Be careful, as attacks using anything other than a cape are ineffective.''
