'''Prongos'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 16.</ref> are [[Goombeetle]]-like [[List of enemies|enemies]] that appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', named after the word "prong". These enemies have a large, metallic blue box object with golden spikes sticking out along the sides and the top. The spikes have orange markings surrounding them. The metallic blue box covers the majority of their body, except their green feet and yellow underside. Prongos have small red eyes that peer through a hole in the metal box covering them.

Prongos appear in later levels of normal worlds, but become common enemies in the Special Worlds. When a Prongo spots [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], it will run after them like a [[Goomba]]. If the Prongo gets close enough, it will dive and try to headbump the player, similar to [[Spiked Goomba]]s from the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. If the Prongo misses, it will become stuck in the ground due to its spikes, leaving it open for attack. This also makes it the only possible time to defeat it with a [[fireball]] from [[Fire Mario]] or a [[boomerang]] from [[Boomerang Mario]]. After a few seconds, the Prongo will free itself from the ground and continue its pursuit of the player.

If the Prongo gets close enough, it will dive and try to headbump the player, similar to [[Headbonk Goomba]]s from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. If the Prongo misses, it will become stuck in the ground due to its spikes, leaving it open for attack. After a few seconds, the Prongo will free itself from the ground and continue its pursuit on the player.


Prongos cannot be defeated when they are upright, except with the use of a [[Super Star]]. Tail whips will flip a Prongo over, making it vulnerable to any attack.
