[[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 Pests'''. 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 ''[[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 {{iw|smashwiki|platform}}s. Mimics reveal themselves when attacked and lunge in front of them, inflicting lots of {{iw|smashwiki|damage}}, then wander about on the platform to attack any {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}}s within range. A Mimic can be defeated after enough hits, dropping an item behind afterwards.
