Editing Prongo

'''Prongos'''<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=16|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=November 13, 2011|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-89386-4}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are [[Goombeetle]]-like enemies named after the word "prong". Prongos have a large, metallic blue box object with golden spikes surrounded by orange markings sticking out along the sides and the top. The metallic blue box covers most of a Prongo's body, except their green feet and yellow underside. Prongos have small red eyes that peer through a hole in the metal box covering them. Prongos appear in later levels of normal worlds, but become common enemies in the Special Worlds. When a Prongo spots [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], it will run after them like a [[Goomba]]. If the Prongo gets close enough, it will dive and try to headbump the player, similarly to [[Spiked Goomba]]s from the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. If the Prongo misses, it will become stuck in the ground due to its spikes, leaving it open for attack. This is the only opportunity when a Prongo can be defeated from one of [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s or one of [[Boomerang Mario]]'s [[boomerang]]s. After a few seconds, the Prongo will free itself from the ground and continue its pursuit of the player. Prongos cannot be defeated when they are upright, except with the use of a [[Super Star]]. Tail whips will flip a Prongo over, making it vulnerable to any attack.
