They are [[Goombeetle]]-like enemies named after the word "prong." Prongos each have a large blue box object with golden spikes surrounded by orange markings sticking out along the sides and the top. The blue box covers most of a Prongo's body, except its green feet and yellow underside. Prongos have small red eyes that peer through a hole in the box covering them. Prongos appear in later levels of normal worlds, but they become common enemies in the Special Worlds. When a Prongo spots [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], it runs after him, similarly to a [[Goomba]]. If the Prongo gets close enough, it dives and tries to headbump the player character, similarly to [[Spiked Goomba]]s from the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. If the Prongo misses, it becomes 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 frees itself from the ground and continues its pursuit of the player character. Prongos cannot be defeated when they are upright, except with the use of a [[Super Star]]. Tail whips flip a Prongo over, making it vulnerable to any attack.


==Profiles==
'''Prongos''' are [[enemies]] that appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', named after the word ''prong''. These enemies have a large, metallic blue box object with golden spikes sticking out along the sides and the top. The spikes have orange markings surrounding them. The metallic blue box covers the majority of their body, except their green feet and yellow underside. Prongos have small red eyes that peer through a hole in the metal box covering them.
*'''European website bio:''' "''Prongos have a spike growing out of their head, so don't jump on them whatever you do! You'll just have to find other ways of dealing with them...''"

Prongos appear in later levels of normal worlds, but become common enemies in the Special World. When a Prongo spots [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], it will run after them. If the Prongo gets close enough, it will dive and try to headbump the player, similar to [[Headbonk Goomba]]s from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. If the Prongo misses, it will become stuck in the ground due to its spikes, leaving it open for attack. After a few seconds, the Prongo will free itself from the ground and continue its pursuit on the player.

*Prongo's attack and defeating methods are nearly identical to that of the [[Snooze-A-Koopa]]s from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and [[Flaptack]]s from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as they all flip in the air in attempt to hit the player, get stuck in the ground if the attack misses and are only vulnerable on their underside.
