Revvers are wheeled Dry Bones- and dog/mouse-like enemies that first appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They wear a chain leash that can be grabbed and pulled, sending them rushing forward when released. Unlike Dry Bones, they cannot be jumped on to make them collapse and instead need to be hit with a ground pound or bump into a block or wall after getting sent rushing forward. They first appear in the course Rolling Ball Hall, but later appear prominently in a Break Time! course, Revver Run.
Their name comes from "rev", referring to their fast speed, and possibly "Rover", a common dog name. It may also come from "revive" or "revenant", referring to their undead nature.
