While given a generic [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] identifier in English, his Japanese name derives from [[Hammer Bro]]ther (｢トゲブロス」 ''Toge Burosu'', translating as "Thorn Bros."). He resides at the end of the [[Rice Beach]] stage and is armed with spiky armor similar to that of a [[Koopatrol]]. In his fight with [[Wario]], he employs a three-pronged attack of striking from land, air, and underground. His shell makes him invulnerable to [[Ground Pound|ground pound]]s and fire. However, he can be rammed into, exposing his soft belly. After three hits to his vulnerable underside, he is defeated.
