'''The Iron Adonis Twins''', also known as '''The Armored Harriers''', is a team consisting of the only two [[Iron Cleft]]s that appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' along with its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. They are brothers, with the older one wearing red shoes and the younger one wearing green shoes, referencing Mario and Luigi's primary colors. This combination of red and green appears often in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].
==History==
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
Initially, the Iron Adonis Twins are ranked 10th in [[Glitz Pit]]. They hold a grudge against [[Mario]] after [[Grubba]] tells them some trash talk that he accredits to Mario (namely the reference to outies running in the family, since their mother has an outie). The Iron Adonis Twins are made of iron that Mario cannot break through. He is only able to defeat these two Iron Clefts with the help of [[Yoshi Kid]], who can take an enemy into his mouth with his tongue and spit them back at the other enemy with his [[Gulp]] attack. The Iron Adonis Twins are downgraded to the Minor League after Mario and his allies beat them, and they form a grudge against Mario. 

When Mario has to visit the Minor League locker room while searching for the [[Dubious Documents]], the Iron Adonis Twins threaten to fight outside the ring. When Mario defeats [[the Shellshockers]], the Iron Adonis Twins barge into the ring and pick another fight with Mario. Despite the twins' grudge against Mario, they, along with [[Jolene]], [[King K]], [[Rawk Hawk]], and a few others cheer him on in his battle against the [[Shadow Queen]].

In the Nintendo Switch remake, the battle condition against the Iron Adonis Twins during Chapter 3 is always to use a partner move at least once. Mario can be given different battle conditions when fighting the Iron Adonis Twins after Chapter 3.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
The Iron Adonis twins appear in volume 33 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', in which Yoshi Kid defeats them.

;Red shoes
*"''That's the older of the Iron Adonis Twins. You can tell he's older by his red shoes. I don't think they took their loss to you too well, Mario. I'd be careful around them...''"
;Green shoes
*"''That's the younger of the Iron Adonis Twins. He and his brother totally hate you. Is it a rule that older brothers wear red shoes and younger brothers wear green?''"
