[[File:SSBU Mimic.jpg|thumb|A Mimic in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
'''Mimics''' that resemble [[treasure chest]]s are an enemy archetype typically seen in [[Genre#role-playing games|role-playing games]].

==History==
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], [[Huhwhat]], [[Whuhoh]], [[Pleaseno]], and [[Comeon]] are enemies that act like mimics. They resemble treasure boxes in the overworld and start a battle when [[Mario]] opens them with a [[jump]].

===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
[[File:Mimic.gif|frame|right]]
Mimics are items in [[Bloocheep Sea]], a court in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. A Mimic tries to chomp whoever has the ball by chasing them around the course, though Mimics sometimes spit out many [[Coin]]s and [[Red Coin|10 Coins]] upon being used.

===''Wario: Master of Disguise''===
{{main|Treasure Pest}}
Mimics appear in ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'', localized as [[Treasure Pest]]s. They replace a single treasure chest in a level whenever the level is entered, preventing the chest's content from being obtained unless the level is replayed.

===''Fortune Street''===
Mimics from the ''{{iw|dragonquest|Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest}}'' series are obstacles of the [[Slurpodrome]] minigame in ''[[Fortune Street]]''. Mimics can take the place of a regular treasure chest, knocking any [[Slime (Dragon Quest)|Slime]] out of the race if encountered. A Mimic also appears on the right side of [[Castle Trodain]].

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Mimic}}
Mimics are stage features in {{iw|smashwiki|Yggdrasil's Altar}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They disguise themselves as the normal treasure chests on the floating platforms. Mimics reveal themselves when attacked and lunge in front of them, inflicting lots of damage, then wander about on the platform attacking any fighters within range. A Mimic can be defeated if attacked enough, after which it leaves behind an item.
