Revision as of 20:11, January 14, 2018 by LinkTheLefty (talk | contribs) (Undo revision 2362870 - "Shyguy - Red" description in pg. 23 of the original NES version manual states that the 8 bits are "a club from evil dreams". I guess it's a slightly odd word choice, but that's the most we ever get out of it, so it is what it is.)

The 8 bits[1] is a club from evil dreams consisting of Shy Guys, Snifits, Ninjis, Beezos, and many other creatures that aided Wart in his conquest of the land of dreams, Subcon, in Super Mario Bros. 2. Their name is a reference to the size of the Ricoh 2A03/2A07 processor's CPU registers: 8 bits. Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool encountered members of the 8 bits in almost every location they visited, be it in the desert, clouds, or tundra. Shy Guys are the most numerous members of the 8 bits, and are seen in every area during Wart's conquest.

Some of the species in the 8 bits would later be seen in the Koopa Troop, such as Bob-ombs and Pokeys. Many were King Koopa's minions in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
