Hoppos are purple hippos with a flower-like pattern on top that first appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They appear in the levels Here Come the Hoppos, Cosmic Hoppos, Break Time! Pop Up, Hoppo!, Pipe-Rock Plateau Special Bounce, Bounce, Bounce, and The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet. The player can stomp on them to make them start rolling and bounce off of them. Hoppos can also roll into and get stuck in gaps. Hoppos are completely harmless to the player, though they can defeat other enemies while rolling. Giant Wonder Hoppos also appear during certain Wonder Effects.

Profiles[edit]

  • Trading card bio: A Hoppo starts rolling when Mario or his friends jump on it and can make for a great bouncy platform
