| ==History==
| | '''Ant Troopers''' are [[wikipedia:Ant|ant]] enemies debuting in the [[Wii U]] game, ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They appear uncommonly throughout the game, and are introduced in World 4-1, [[Ant Trooper Hill]]. |

| Ant Troopers are enemies in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its reissue]]. They are first encountered in [[Ant Trooper Hill]], and Ant Troopers do not appear in many other levels. They attack by marching, sometimes emerging from holes or pipes, and keep walking on walls. They cannot be defeated by [[jump]]ing, but are vulnerable to [[Ground Pound]]s, [[Cat Mario]]'s, [[Tanooki Mario]]'s and [[Rosalina]]'s attacks, and projectiles as well. Ant Troopers sometimes carry items on their backs, mainly [[coin]]s and power-ups. | |

|
| [[Big Ant Trooper]]s are an Ant Trooper subspecies. As their name implies, they are larger than common Ant Troopers, and are also rarer. They cannot be defeated by any attack.

| [[Horned Ant Trooper]]s are Ant Troopers wearing an orange helmet with a spike over their body. The helmets prevent their heads from being stomped, making them very similar to [[Spike Top]]s, but only if the helmet is facing upward; if they are walking along a vertical surface, they become safe to jump on. | | [[Big Ant Trooper]]s are an Ant Trooper subspecies.

| ====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| | [[Horned Ant Trooper]]s are basically Ant Troopers wearing an orange helmet with a spike over their body. The helmets prevent their heads from being stomped, making them very similar to [[Spike Top]]s, but only if the helmet is facing upward; if they are walking along a vertical surface, they become safe to jump on. |
| Ant Troopers appear as course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' level style. [[Big Ant Trooper]]s and [[Horned Ant Trooper]]s return as well. When given wings, an Ant Trooper flies in a horizontal line, switching directions when it hits a wall. When given a parachute, an Ant Trooper glides to the ground while flailing its feet. Ant Troopers can be defeated with a [[Super Star]] or [[Builder Mario]]'s [[hammer]]. They may also walk on Builder Mario's [[crate]]s.

| | Ant Troopers also appear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', behaving like they do in ''Super Mario 3D World''. |
| Ant Troopers return in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]], behaving like they do in ''Super Mario 3D World''. While interacting with them using the pointer or touch screen, they do not stop like regular enemies. If pointed at for enough time, they reward the player with one coin. | |

| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Ant Troopers appear alongside Horned Ant Troopers in battle in the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]] and in [[Neo Bowser Castle]] during the [[Final Smash (mission)|Final Smash]] mission. If Horned Ant Troopers take enough damage, they lose their spike helmets, turning them into normal Ant Troopers (despite still being named as Horned Ant Troopers) and lowering their defense. While in this state, they attack the Mario Bros. by dashing into them instead. | | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Ant Troopers appear alongside Horned Ant Troopers in battle in the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]].

| |
| Ant Troopers are spectators in [[Bask Ruins]] in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Dr. Mario World''===
| |
| Ant Troopers appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as obtainable assistants. When equipped in stage mode, the doctor's skill gauge will further increase by a percentage if four or more viruses are simultaneously eliminated. For example, with a level 3 Ant Trooper (fills skill by 50% more), if a row of four viruses is eliminated with one half-[[capsule]], there will be five objects (four viruses + one half-capsule) eliminated but the skill gauge will fill by 7.5 points: 5 points from the match and 2.5 extra points (50% of 5 points) through this assistant. In versus mode, they grant doctors a chance to cancel an opponent's doctor's skill that targets the user, such as [[Dr. Mario|8-bit Dr. Mario]]'s half-capsule lock effect. They are a clear reward bonus for completing the first area of [[World 12 (Dr. Mario World)|World 12]] and appear in the same world's background once an area has been cleared.
