| '''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. | | [[File:SMBUMegaGrrrol.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario avoiding [[Mega Grrrol]]s.]] |
| ==History==
| | '''Grrrols''' are a sub-species of [[Thwomp]] with pointed spikes and a round figure that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. |
| ===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
| | They are similar to [[Spiked Ball]]s and [[Spiky Tromp]]s from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', as they roll around trying to crush [[Mario]], bouncing the walls and themselves. Grrrols are put on-screen by specific pipe-like walls which can make infinite units. These enemies resemble circular [[Thwomp]]s with rolling red eyes and a big smile with one tooth missing. Like Thwomps, they are invincible enemies, and only the [[Starman]] has an effect on them. |
| [[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. | | The first appearance of Grrrols is in a secret room in [[Stoneslide Tower]] from [[Layer-Cake Desert]]. They are found again in a [[Rock-Candy Mines]] tower, [[Grinding-Stone Tower]], where they are main obstacles. This level also presents Grrrol's larger counterpart Mega Grrrol. These feature a rather toothy grin with cheeks which the smaller counterparts lack, though having the same traits. |

| [[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''====
| | These enemies reappear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. In [[Underground Grrrols]] from Layer-Cake Desert, as the name implies, they are important obstacles. |
| [[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''====
| |
| 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.
