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.
