'''Grrrols''' are spiked stone enemies debuting in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. Grrrols resemble circular [[Thwomp]]s with rolling red eyes and a big grin with one tooth missing; the spikes they are surrounded by subtly alternate between lighter and darker shades of gray. Their name is a pun on "grrr", a growling sound, and "roll". They roll around trying to hit the playable characters, and bounce off the walls, themselves, and other solid objects, similar to [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s and [[Spiky Tromp]]s.
==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
[[File:NSMBUTromps.png|thumb|left|Grrrols in [[Grinding-Stone Tower]]]]
Grrrols first appear in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. Similar to Thwomps, Grrrols are nearly invincible enemies, and only the [[Super Star]] has an effect on them, as does hitting the [[Item Block|Item]] or [[Brick Block]] they are on from below; this makes them slightly weaker than spiked balls. Grrrols are spawned by specific pipe-like walls, which can make infinite units. They can also defeat any enemy they roll into.

Grrrols first appear in a secret room in the [[Stoneslide Tower]] of [[Layer-Cake Desert]]. They are found again in the [[Rock-Candy Mines]] tower, [[Grinding-Stone Tower]], where they are the main obstacles. This level also introduces [[Mega Grrrol]]s. In the ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' variant, Grrrols appear in the Layer-Cake Desert stage [[Underground Grrrols]] as the main obstacles. They also appear in [[Stone-Snake Tower]] of [[Soda Jungle]] and [[Smashing-Stone Tower]] of Rock-Candy Mines.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 10''====
[[File:Hop, Drop, and Roll.png|thumb|A Grrrol in ''Mario Party 10'']]
Grrrols reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' as obstacles in the minigame [[Hop, Drop, and Roll]]. They are periodically produced by a device on the ceiling, which moves across the screen. After falling on the ground, Grrrols move in a direction until they fall off the ledge. The characters are required to jump over the Grrrols and not get hit, otherwise they lose the minigame.

====''Super Mario Party''====
[[File:Super Mario Party - Get Over It.png|thumb|left|Grrrols in ''Super Mario Party'']]
Grrrols reappear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', where they appear as obstacles in the minigames [[Get Over It]] and [[Follow the Money]], wherein the former they must be dodged by jumping over them, and in the latter they must be dodged by moving around them (this also has their larger variants). A Grrrol, along with a [[Wiggler]] and a group of [[Chargin' Chuck]]s, appears in [[Rattle and Hmmm]], where it and the other two cause the player's [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Cons]] to rumble. Later, the player must match the subsequent rumbling to the Grrrol or the other two. They may appear as one of the images in [[Absent Minded]].

====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
{{new subject|section=y}}
Grrrols reappear in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' in the [[Super Mario Party Jamboree#1 vs. 3|1 vs. 3]] minigame [[On-Again, Off-Again]] where the solo player attempts to use them to eliminate the team players using [[ON/OFF Switch]]es. Grrrols also appear in the Showdown minigame [[Jr.'s Jauntlet]] as one of the possible events where players have to avoid getting hit by them to earn a point.
