==[[Air Bag]]==

*The name is a pun on the word airbag.

==[[Artichoker]]==

Most of the time, Artichokers remain stationary, appearing to be normal shrubs. This is, in fact, a clever survival mechanism that allows the Artichokers to prey on unsuspecting travelers. Since items can sometimes be found in shrubs, an unlucky adventurer may accidentally stumble across an Artichoker, instead of treasure. After falling for the deception, the adventurer will have to fight the plant monster in combat. Unfortunately for the traveler, Artichokers prove to be very tough opponents.

==[[Bandit]]==

They can dash at an amazing speed towards Mario.

[...]

They have lost their amazing speed.

'''Beakers''' are tiny apes from ''[[Wario's Woods]]''. '''They wear bandannas on their heads''' and are the rarest enemies, along with [[Scram]]s.

*They're sort of like miniature [[Kong]]s.

A similar species called a [[Shy Away]] appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

[[File: SMBSSBeezo.jpg|thumb|A Beezo, dressed up as a knight, from ''The Super Mario Bros Super Show!'']]

   

Beezos made several appearances on ''[[The Super Mario Bros Super Show!]]'', usually serving as guards.

* Beezos are found in two colors: red and pink (in newer versions they are pink and brown).

* In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', Beezos are referenced by [[Ghost Guy|Shy Guy ghosts]] that could levitate and were armed with a pitchfork.

==[[Sandworm|Big Scorper]]==

*It's possible the Big Scorper is named after the [[wikipedia:Big Scorper (Dune)|Big Scorper]] from [[wikipedia:Frank Herbert|Frank Herbert's]] best selling novel [[wikipedia:Dune (novel)|Dune]]

*Big Scorper is not based on the generic [[Earth|Real World]] [[wikipedia:Big Scorper|creature]] of the same name, but on the larvae from the [[wikipedia:antlion|antlion]] family of insects.

[...]

*The boos' ability to freeze when looked at and move when not is used by aliens called Weeping Angels in the British Sci-Fi show Doctor Who.

==[[Creeper]]==

*Creepers may have been inspired by the actual Creepers in Minecraft.

==[[Crowber]]==

*According to the ''New Super Mario Bros. series'', Dry Bones never walk off into pits or [[lava]]. This suggests that Dry Bones are no ordinary undead [[Koopa Troopa]]s, they are undead Red [[Koopa Troopa]]s, since these enemies never walk off cliffs or into pits, either. '''It may also be that these [[Koopa Troopa]]s decided to be more careful for now on, after whatever decision they made before they died.'''

==[[Eely-Mouth]]==

*Even if it cannot be seen in-game, Eely-Mouth's interior is fully modeled. This likely means that it was intended early in development for Mario to swim inside of Eely-Mouth, but this feature was removed for unknown reasons.

*If the game is hacked to get out of bounds, it can be seen that the back half of Eely-Mouth isn’t modeled, because the devs never expected the player to be able to see it. This can also be seen through a glitch that can randomly happen where Eely-Mouth will accidentally rise too high out of its hole, revealing the edge of the model where it cuts off. Going out of bounds also reveals that Eely-Mouth’s hole has no interior and abruptly ends past a certain point, revealing the black skybox of the Nooki Depths, which has strange yellow bioluminescent-like flashing lights, below.

==[[Kackle]]==

*Most think Kackle is the 5th scariest thing in a Nintendo game.

{{quote|These ghostly Kremling spirits haunt many locations on Crocodile Isle.|''Donkey Kong Country 2'' GBA instruction booklet, page 23}}

*According to the game manual, Kackles are said to haunt many locations on Crocodile Isle. Despite this, they are only seen in one level.

==[[Koindozer]]==

*Without their helmet and shield, Koindozers resemble Barney the Purple Dinosaur.

<i>(Well, this statement isn't relevant, but it's not far off...)</i>

[...]

*Kidnapping and marrying [[Princess Peach]].

==[[Koopa Troopa]]==

The Koopa Troopas' most known caracterist is their [[Koopa Shell|shells]], that resmbles turtles' shells (this fact has formed a rumor that Koopa Troopas are turtles). Another famous caracterist is their shell's protection that can be knocked, attacking other enemies (as seen in many platform games).

Koopa Troopas' shells comes in four colors: green, red, yellow and blue. The most known are the green and red ones, specially, the green ones.

Koopa Troopas also use shoes of the same color of their shells.

In the course of the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise, Koopa Troopas are seen to have English as their native language. In the games that character's voices aren't shown speaking phrases, Koopa Troopas make owl-like sounds, having English just legenged. This can be because Koopa Troopas have their own language, that [[Mario]] (or other characters) can understand. In ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series, all Koopa Troopas knows only speak English. Also having Koopa Troopas partners speaking this same language, through speaking bubbles.

Koopa Troopas have their gender differences, being male or female. An exemple is a ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' mini-game called [[Flower Shower (minigame)|Flower Shower]]. This mini-game presents the marriage of two Koopa Troopas (one using a bow tie [a common man garment] and other using a bow [a common woman garment]).

Are not known if the Koopa Troopas' reproduction is sexually or asexually, however, are known that they born from eggs, just like [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]].

==[[Krash]]==

*The Krashes in ''Donkey Kong 64'' also strangely resemble the current design of a Kritter, even though the Kritters were not redesigned until ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', 6 years later.

==[[Kroc]]==

*Some one thinks Kroc is the 8th scariest thing in a Nintendo game. He also thinks Kroc uses [[King K Rool]]'s vocals.

They look identical to other Lakitus.

==[[Magikoopa]]==

Though ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' is a game many fans of the franchise prefer to ignore, it is nevertheless a game.

==[[Ninji]]==

If they are jumped on/hammered at the wrong time, they will poof and leave a log (also known as a decoy) behind, meaning the attack will be a miss, then run back into battle while falling from the top screen having their arms up high and '''landing safely with style'''.

==[[Octoomba]]==

They attack Mario by spitting rocks at '''Mario''' just like [[Octoguy]]s. '''The species' current name is revealed by a [[Luma]]''' who guides Mario through a large planet.

==[[Pak E. Derm]]==

*In Yoshi's Story, Pak E. Derm's path blocking is similar to that of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.

==[[Piranha Plant]]==

*In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the chomping noises the Piranha Plants make is [[Petey Piranha]]'s voice sped up. They also make the same sound as Petey Piranha gets hit by an item or falls down the kart when they get hit by an item.

==[[Pitchfork]]==

Pitchforks are not the [[List of bosses|bosses]] of levels. They are just normal [[List of enemies|enemies]].

'''Pitchforks''' are [[Bandinero]]s with a fork cap on their head from ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. Not only cyan Pitchforks are in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'': also lila-pink Pitchforks exists. These are a combination of a yellow [[Bandinero]] and a cyan Pitchfork, because they will jump.

As seen on the '''image identifying a Pitchfork on this article''', their threat is 2/3 {{fake link|redstars}}.

("''They mean the infobox''")

Some similar [[List of enemies|enemies]] to a Pitchfork include other kinds of [[Bandinero]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Paragoomba]]s, [[Electrogoomba]]s, and [[Goombeetle|Astrogoombas]].

[...]

[[Bandinero]]<br>

[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]<br>

==[[Rocky Wrench]]==

*Rocky Wrenches look a lot like [[Monty Mole]]s and use an attack pattern similar to them; they also have shells similar to those of [[Buzzy Beetle]]s; this could make them a cross between the two. ('''Go ahead and picture how that could have been accomplished''')  

==[[Sammer Guy]]==

*Their name is a pun on Samuri, and Guy.<br>

*They could be a spicies of Shy Guy they might have a mask on, because the bearded ones beards don't move when they talk. Possibally because the makers of Super Paper Mario can't do that.

==[[Scram]]==

*A prize won by a character named Tino in the TV Show [[wikipedia:The Weekenders|''The Weekenders'']] would go on to resemble Scram, although, due to the obscurity of the character, it is likely that this resemblance is coincidental.

==[[Shroob]]==

*[[Vim Factory]]- A factory that the [[Shroobs]] keep the [[Toads]] [[Vim]] in

*[[Shroob Mother Ship]]- A ship that [[Princess Shroob]] owns

==[[Shy Guy]]==

The shy guys are one of the many rivals to [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]], despite this, they are timid and soft-volumed, and kind minions, and rarely act insane

==[[Slaughterfork]]==

==[[Smeech]]==

*Although it is unknown why a Smeech kisses Yoshi, it could be that they are in love with him.

==[[Snake (Mario Clash)|Snake (''Mario Clash'')]]==

{{foreign names

==[[Snoodle]]==

The name Snoodle, may be the words snail, an small animal and noodle, another word for pasta.

==[[Spiky Tromp]]==

*Spiky Tromps supposedly are to Spiny Tromps as [[Thwimp]]s are to [[Thwomps]] and [[Whimp]]s are to [[Whomp]]s.

==[[Spud]]==

*In an early scene in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', one of the [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] actually refers to [[Baby Mario]] as a "spud". However, he was not referring to the enemy Spud.

==[[Sumo Bro]]==

However, if the player defeats them by hitting the blocks they are standing on from below, they are granted 200 points, '''possibly due to the greater risk taken'''.

==[[Thwack Totem]]==

*The enemy resembles a totem pole.

[...]

[[File:TorpTed.gif|frame|left]]

Torpedo Teds first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and resided in [[Soda Lake]]. [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] encountered Torpedo Teds during their adventures in [[Dinosaur Land]]. Torpedo Teds moved fairly fast and could be hard to avoid due to the narrow pathways within Soda Lake. '''This enemy can be defeated with a star, because this sprite was not progammed for invincibility glitch because: They give many lives when "bounce" in the player. But this star may be in code or by the level editor.'''

==[[Vomer]]==

*Unlike most Dry Bones, Vomers do not wear shoes '''(however, the Dry Bones of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' do not wear shoes either).'''

==[[Wallop]]==

This is the same thing as in Super Mario 3D Land(2011).

==[[Whomp]]==

Whomps used to be incredibly Handsome creatures however, after years of having their only attack be slamming their faces down on the ground...well ya know
