They are first found in [[Lethal Lava Land]] in ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and have since become recurring, albeit occasional, enemies in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. Their name and design are a pun on the words "bully," referring to their aggressive behavior, and "bull," referring to their horns and charging attack pattern.
| | '''Bullies''' are [[Bob-omb]]-like creatures that lived in [[Lethal Lava Land]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Their name is a combination of ''bully'', referring to their aggressive behavior, and ''bull'', referring to their horns and charging attack pattern. A Bully resembles a black sphere with green feet, angry eyes and two bright yellow devilish horns. Bullies usually reside on Platforms and rarely in groups, to serve as a potential threat to [[Mario]]. To attack, Bullies heave themselves into their enemies in order to push them over ledges, knocking their enemies into lava or bottomless pits. The only way to beat a Bully is to push it into the lava. After being melted, a [[Coin]] will be tossed up to the platform thay the creature was pushed off from. In the remake, [[Yoshi]], if used, must stomp them to push them back or use a cap as his tongue cannot push the Bullies. They are supposedly minions of the colossal [[Big Bully]]. Bullies attack in a similar manner as the [[Micro Goomba]] in the same game. They also appear in [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], the second Bowser boss level. In later games, they seem to have been replaced by [[Topman|Topmen]]. |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
| |
| [[File:Bully SM64 screenshot.png|thumb|right|A Bully near Mario in Lethal Lava Land in ''Super Mario 64'']]
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Bullies are black spheres with green feet, angry eyes, and two yellow bull horns. They appear in [[Lethal Lava Land]] and the second [[Bowser]] level, [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]]. Bullies are usually found on platforms and sometimes in groups. Bullies try to charge into [[Mario]] to knock him off the platform into the surrounding [[lava]]. They always move in the direction that Mario is facing. Mario does not take damage if he is hit by a Bully. He can defeat a Bully by knocking it into the lava, which can be done by either [[kick]]ing, [[punch]]ing, [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing, or [[dive|diving]] at it. After the Bully sinks into the lava, it relinquishes a [[coin]], which is tossed onto the platform.
| |
|
| |
|
| Bullies have a larger variant known as [[Big Bully|Big Bullies]]. Two of them are respectively encountered in the first two missions of Lethal Lava Land. In the second mission, [[Bully the Bullies]], Mario must first defeat three Bullies before he can fight the second Big Bully.
| | [[File:MarioBully SM3DW.png|thumb|left|200px|Two Bullies as seen in ''Super Mario 3D World''.]] |
| | | Bullies are set to appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. However, their appearance has changed: they are now made of a blue shiny metal, their horns are white and are bent forward. Also, they have rim just above their feet and red eyes. They once again charge at the player, and can be knocked back using projectiles like [[fireball]]s. |
| In [[Snowman's Land]], there is a similar enemy known as a [[Chill Bully]]. It resembles the Bullies because it has a round, icy body, one gold horn on its head, and green shoes.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Yoshi]] can push back the Bullies by [[stomp]]ing on them. Bullies also appear in [[Chief Chilly Challenge]], where they try to push [[Luigi]] into a [[pit|bottomless pit]].

| |
| [[File:SM3DW Spooky Seaside Wreck.png|thumb|200px|Two Bullies chasing Mario in ''Super Mario 3D World''.]] | |
| Bullies appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and reappear in its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', where they have been redesigned. They are now made of a blue shiny metal, their horns are golden and are bent forward with dark rings at their bases, and they appear larger than their previous incarnations. Also, they have rims on the bodies' bottoms and red eyes. They no longer grunt, and make a metal sound when jumped on. They once again charge at the player, and can be knocked back by jumping on them, using projectiles like [[fireball]]s, or tapping them on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|GamePad]]. Bullies will pause and teeter when pushed to the edge of a platform, giving the player time to land the final hit. If they are not knocked off, they will regain their balance and continue charging at the player. | |
| | |
| Bullies can also be defeated by using the [[Lucky Cat Mario|Lucky Cat Statue]]. A new boss, [[Prince Bully]], also appears in this game.
| |
| | |
| Bullies reappear in the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue#Ports|port]] of ''Super Mario 3D World'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. In the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode, there are only cat variants of Bullies, which are known as Cat Bullies. Like all enemies in the game, they have cat-like traits, which are specifically fur, green paws instead of shoes, a cat-like tail, and cat ears instead of horns. Cat Bullies only appear in the Bully the Cat Bullies mission in [[Fort Flaptrap]], where [[Mario]] has to push them into lava or defeat them as [[Invincible Mario]] to obtain a [[Cat Shine]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| |
| Bullies appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' as enemies exclusive to the ''Super Mario 3D World'' theme, acting as they did in that game. Giving one a [[Super Mushroom]] can make it a [[Big Bully]], and if a Bully has wings applied to it, it can fly over terrain in its way or out of a [[pit]] if knocked off a ledge.

| | {{foreignname |
| Bullies appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as an enemy. They are only encountered at [[Mount Brrr]] and retain their physical appearance from ''Super Mario 3D World''. Their main attack is ramming [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]], who must counter it with the hammer. Occasionally, bombs will appear behind the bros., and they must jump on the Bully while it is charging in order to not get pushed into the bombs. If Paper Mario jumps over the Bully while it is charging, it will run into the bombs, causing it to explode and take damage.

| Bullies make a minor appearance in the end credits where several of them attempt to ram into the [[Papercraft]]s alongside some [[Broozer]]s and [[Mechakoopa]]s in the [[Bowser's Castle]] portion.

| | |Spa=Bronco |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Bullies make an appearance in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode, where they are enemies and recruitable allies. They are Melee troops, and their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]] is Smack Back Attack.
| | |SpaM=''Bronco'' is such a person: genius and harsh treatment. Is also a glassy, brittle, slightly flexible and without elasticity kind of metal. |

| Models for small and big Bullies, labeled <tt>Donketu</tt> and <tt>DonketuKing</tt> respectively, are [[list of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content#Unused data|unused]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Similar to ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS'', their bodies are made of a flat texture showing a picture of a black sphere, instead of a fully-modeled sphere.
