'''Marumen'''<ref>[http://yossi6.s309.xrea.com/mario/dr.cgi?key=2765 Marumen's entry at the Japanese Super Mario Daijiten (Big Dictionary)]</ref> (まるメン) are purple, spherical enemies of ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. They have a nose, and two feet. They won't hurt [[Wario]] in any way. Most Marumen are found in the early levels [[Hall of Hieroglyphics]] and [[Palm Tree Paradise]], but many of them get replaced by [[Spear-Mask]]s in the Hard and Super Hard modes. Otherwise, they are generally rare in all difficulty modes. They are mostly purple, but can turn into red as well, when Wario executes a [[Ground Pound]] near them.

'''Marumen''' are purple or red spherical enemies of ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. Along with [[Imomushi]], they are among the weakest enemies in the game, as they do not harm [[Wario]] in any way. Most Marumen are found in the early levels [[Hall of Hieroglyphs]] and [[Palm Tree Paradise]], but many of them get replaced by [[Spear-Mask]]s in the [[Wario Land 4#Game mode|Hard]] and S-Hard modes. Otherwise, they are generally rare in all difficulty modes. Most Marumen spawn colored purple, but there are some exceptions, such as the second screen in Palm Tree Paradise. The difference between the two colors is that defeating a purple Marumen yields two [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|Small Coins]], while defeating a red Marumen yields one Bronze Coin. Purple Marumen will turn red and vice-versa when Wario executes a [[Wario Land 4#Wario's moves|Smash Attack]] near them.


Marumen are practically based on [[Wanderin' Goom]]s, as they won't hurt Wario as well. Red [[Bandinero]]s share the same behavior. The name of Marumen translates to "circle face."
Despite being weak enemies, more of them appear in [[Hotel Horror]] as the game mode difficulty increases: none are found in Normal mode, one is found in Hard mode, and four are found in S-Hard mode.
 
Marumen are heavily based on [[Wanderin' Goom]]s, as they will not hurt Wario as well. Red [[Bandinero]]s share the same behavior.
