'''Sumo | The '''Sumo Bro''' (or '''Sumo Brother''') is a type of [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] with a similar anatomy to [[Boom Boom]] that appear as enemies to [[Mario]]. Their first appearance is in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as somewhat uncommon enemies that can rain down fire on Mario's head by stomping. | ||

In ''Super Mario World'', Sumo Brothers are large | [[File:SMW Sumo Bros Artwork.jpg|thumb|right]] | ||
In ''Super Mario World'', Sumo Brothers are large and orange in color and wear black shells. They also have a spike on top of their heads, meaning [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] will be injured if they jump on one. They stand on top of blocks and attack Mario by stomping their foot (the sumo movement known as {{wp|Glossary of sumo terms#shiko|shiko}}), which causes a spark to drop below; this spark ignites when it hits the ground, making a wall of fire. A Sumo Brother can only be defeated by throwing a [[Green Shell|Shell]] at them, by hitting them with a cape as [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] or by touching them with Mario when he is powered-up by a [[Super Star]]. Hitting the block they are standing on from below also works but is more difficult than other means due to the fires caused by their lightning-stomp attack. | |||

U]]'', with the same abilities that they had in ''Super Mario World'', except that they make electric waves instead of fire waves.

They can also be defeated with [[Ice Ball|ice ball]]s, but cannot be picked up. | ||
One Sumo Bro with a towel on his shoulders, known as [[Boss Sumo Bro]], appears as a boss in Screwtop Tower, replacing [[Boom Boom (species)|Boom Boom]].

In ''[[Unjust Desserts]]'', some Sumo Brothers shrunken by [[Magikoopa]] are eaten by [[Yoshi]], and two confront Mario in a tunnel inside the dinosaur. Mario defeats the two by jumping out of the way when they charge at him, causing them to crash into each other and become knocked out. If Mario smashes a [[Blue Shell]] thrown at him by a [[Koopa Troopa]], the Sumo Brothers will awaken, but before they can renew their assault, they are sent tumbling down a passageway when the newly [[Winged Yoshi]] does a loop-the-loop. Later, some more Sumo Brothers try to attack Mario when he and [[Bowser]]'s minions are forcibly ejected from Yoshi's body, but because they are still tiny, they are scared off by the seemingly giant Yoshi stomping around. | In ''[[Unjust Desserts]]'', some Sumo Brothers shrunken by [[Magikoopa]] are eaten by [[Yoshi]], and two confront Mario in a tunnel inside the dinosaur.

After unsuccessfully trying to attack both Mario and Luigi, the Sumo Brother storms off in a huff over its weak new body. Later in the book, Luigi can encounter some more Sumo Brothers if he decides to head out on his own to look for Iggy and if he manages to steal several cans of Fungus Up cola from the Synapse Switcher in the WMUSH radio station. | ||

Sumo Bros., alongside a [[Boss Sumo Bro]], appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where origami variants of them act as enemies. [[Olivia]] implies that the "bro" in their name is literal and likely related to their leader. During the battle with Boss Sumo Bro, two Sumo Bros. will accompany him on clouds, while four Sumo Bros. will land on the ground and each steal a panel: the ON panel, the Fire and Earth Vellumental Magic Circles, and the Double Attack panel. Mario must defeat the Sumo Bros. to recover the panels. Using either Vellumental Magic Circle will defeat them instantly (dealing 200 damage). After all four Sumo Bros. are defeated, the two on the clouds will land alongside Boss Sumo Bro, and will each steal a Magic Circle. | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The ''Super Mario World'' artwork of the Sumo Brothers lacks the spike on their heads, while their plastrons are disconnected from their carapaces in a similar way to [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopalings]]. However, the spike is present and the shell is a single connected piece in the game and in later appearances. | |||
*Although they do not appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', their name is mistakenly applied to a related species of enemy known as [[Sledge Bro]]s. | *Although they do not appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

*In ''[[Nintendo Badge Arcade]]'', when the Arcade Bunny asks the player which character jumps a lot and resembles a sumo wrestler, one of the answers available is "Sumo Bro." (The answer is actually Mallo, as the question was asked upon starting the game on the day ''[[nwiki:Pushmo series|Pushmo]]'' badges were first made available.) | |||
