| Broozers are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are encountered in {{world-link|5|ghostn|World 5-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}} and [[World 5-C]] only. Broozers run into the direction of [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]), punching at anything in their way, though they can clear pathways by destroying otherwise unbreakable bricks, allowing the player character to reach otherwise inaccessible areas and [[Star Coin]]s. A Broozer can be defeated from either being [[stomp]]ed three times or instantly from a [[Ground Pound]], being hit from [[Shell Mario]]'s [[shell dash]] maneuver, a [[fireball]], or contact with [[Mega Mario]]. Broozers have bad tractions and can often fall into gaps in the floor by running past their target, being unable to stop. Broozers do not take notice of Mario while he is hiding in a [[Shell Mario|blue shell]].
| | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', they are found in two locations: 5-[[Ghost House]] and 5-C. Broozers blindly run into the direction of [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]), punching at anything in their way. These enemies can be useful, and they can punch unbreakable bricks, allowing Mario to reach items and [[Star Coin]]s that could not otherwise be reached. Mario must jump on a Broozer three times to defeat it. However, a [[Ground Pound]], being hit by Mario doing a [[Shell Dash]], or a [[Fireball]] can defeat these enemies in one hit. Also, because of their unusually bad traction, Broozers often can be forced to fall into gaps in the floor by running past their target and being unable to stop. |

| Broozers are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are encountered in {{world-link|7|ghost|World 7-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} only. They behave identically as before, though they can additionally knock over [[barrel]]s, causing them to roll down stairs. They are imperative to finding a shortcut to [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-5]], as Mario must lure one to bust open a hidden, unseen door so he can take the secret exit and unlock the level. Although they can be frozen by [[Ice Mario]], Broozers cannot be picked up afterwards.
| | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', they appear in [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7]]'s Ghost House. They have the same function as they did in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', only this time, in addition to breaking bricks, it can also knock over [[barrel]]s and cause them to roll down stairs. They are imperative to finding level 7-6, as Mario must lure one to bust open a hidden, unseen door so he can take the secret exit and unlock the level. |

| | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' they appear in two [[Ghost House]]s, the [[Which-Way Labyrinth]] in [[Soda Jungle]], and later appear in [[Spinning Spirit House]] in [[Meringue Clouds]]. |
| Broozers are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''; in the former game, Broozers are encountered in [[Which-Way Labyrinth]], [[Spinning Spirit House]], and {{world-link|coin|6|World Coin-6}}, while for the latter game, they appear in [[Broozers and Barrels]] only. Broozers return in all of the aforementioned levels in the [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|Nintendo Switch version]]. Broozers behave identically as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but are shown to be capable of rotating [[Star Lift]]s in ''New Super Luigi U''.

| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| |
| A Broozer appears in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', where it punches a chocolate [[Princess Peach]] called "Choco Peach". The chocolate Peach is revealed to have power-ups which make Mario giant, resulting in the Broozer being crushed by Mario.

| Broozers are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Two of them appear in [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla]], where they are battled alongside a [[Boomerang Bro]], their only appearance in-game. They attack by hitting barrels into Mario, and floating up to him and punching him. After taking some damage, they will start flailing their arms around for a few turns, dealing damage to Mario if he tries to attack them directly. After winning the battle, there is a high chance that the player may earn a [[Barrel]] [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|sticker]].

| ====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''==== | | |atk= |
| Broozers are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. They are encountered in [[Neo Bowser Castle]] in both normal and [[Paper Broozer|paper]] forms commonly. Two Broozers are also fought alongside two Paper Broozers as one of Bowser's last lines of defense.
| | |location= [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla]] |
| | | |moves = Punch (6), Barrels |
| A Broozer's main attack is to stand in front of its target and punch them, which knocks them off-screen and unable to act (or be targeted by attacks or items) for several turns if it fails to [[Down|knock the victim unconscious]]; if that Bro. was the only Bro. in the fight, any Bros. who got forced off-screen will instead rejoin the fight. Normally the Broozer punches immediately upon moving into position, but it can also do a fake-out and pull its punch; if its target jumps too early, its delayed punch always hits. The player can tell when a fake is coming because the Broozer swings its arm up and down as it approaches, instead of the regular arm spin. For either punch timing, the target can jump to dodge and counter.

| Broozers also receive a Power boost when they are attacked, including first strikes but not counterattacks. They also share a barrel attack with their paper counterpart where they drop a barrel in front of themselves and ram into it, causing it to fly into their target, and then follow it for an arm-flailing hit. The barrel's trajectory depends on whether it is a paper barrel or not. If the barrel matches the Broozer, it must be jumped just after it is bumped. If a normal Broozer hits a paper barrel, it soars over the target's head, and so is dodged by not jumping. Either way, the Broozer itself must be jumped over to complete the dodge and counter. | | Broozers make their [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Two of them appear in [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla]], where they are battled alongside a [[Boomerang Bro.]], their only appearance in-game. They attack by hitting barrels into Mario, and floating up to him and punching him. After taking some damage, they will start flailing their arms around, dealing damage to Mario if he tries to attack them up close, therefore preventing Mario to do any direct attacks. The Rampage mode ends in a few turns. Then they revert back to their normal attack pattern. After winning the battle, there is a chance that the player may earn [[barrel]] [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|stickers]]. |

| ===''Dr. Mario World''===
| |
| Broozers are assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. They have a chance to transform viruses into [[pop cannon]]s at stage start: one in stage mode and two in versus mode. The chance to do so is greater at higher levels, where it is 20% at the first level and 100% at the maximum level. They also appear in the background of [[World 20]] alongside Boos when an area is cleared of viruses. A Broozer is rewarded to the player when they cleared the first area of World 20.
