Casual Nintendo historian. Otherwise an artist and a professional zoologist. Bio degree. I've had an account here since 2012.

I wrote the character sections for Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Super Mario Odyssey. I contributed much of the article for Super Mario Sunshine and am currently working on Super Mario Galaxy.

I have been a fan of Nintendo since a very young age. My first Mario games (and three of the first video games I ever owned) were Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, Super Mario 64 DS, and Mario Kart DS. These games were good company for a young kid who moved around a lot and had difficulty keeping long-lasting friends.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I sequentially played some of my favorite games in the Super Mario series to 100% completion. This includes, in order, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. I will complete this marathon with Super Mario Odyssey. It's been really fun so far! These are great games, and I always wanted to marathon a series like this before but never had the time. It has been interesting to see where the series began and where it has ended up. The design philosophies, the characters, the art directions, world building, level design, narrative, etc. All good stuff. It might be fun to write something about it some day.

My favorite video game character is Yoshi.

Sandbox for current project

New enemies

Name	Description	Locations	Possible spoils
Bee Eater	Plants with retractable spikes which try to strike Bee Mario with their bulb.	Honeybloom Galaxy	TBD
Big Paragoomba	Gigantic Paragoombas which float back and forth. They can be defeated with a spin and a kick, just like ordinary Giant Goombas. Although Big Paragoombas technically debuted in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Galaxy 2 marks their first game appearance.	Supermassive Galaxy	TBD
Choppah	Vaguely insect-like creatures with propellers round their necks. Choppahs fly in a straight line either horizontally or vertically, and can only be defeated if Yoshi eats them.	Honeybloom Galaxy Sweet Mystery Galaxy Honeyhop Galaxy Flip-Out Galaxy Grandmaster Galaxy	TBD
Cosmic Clone	Shadowy clones of Mario which imitate his movement, causing damage and disappearing if they bump into him. When the path forward is revealed (such as by collecting all Star Chips or Purple Coins, or by activating all Flipswitch Panels in the area) Cosmic Clones vanish and produce Star Bits.	Spin-Dig Galaxy Fluffy Bluff Galaxy Cloudy Court Galaxy Haunty Halls Galaxy Chompworks Galaxy Mario Squared Galaxy Flip-Out Galaxy	TBD
Digga	Drill-nosed creatures which plow through the dirt in a circular pattern. They can easily be defeated with a jump or the Spin Drill. Diggas also appear in Digga-Leg's boss fight, where it shoots them out of its underside.	Spin-Dig Galaxy	TBD

Flaptack	Rotund blue birds with a single horn on their head. Flaptacks ram their heads into the ground with their horn in an attempt to hit Mario, causing them to get stuck if they miss. They can either be kicked or stomped on in this state.	Fluffy Bluff Galaxy Cloudy Court Galaxy Flash Black Galaxy	TBD
Flomp	Thwomp-like panels which can be used as platforms. Flomps periodically flip over in an attempt to throw Mario into a pit of lava.	Bowser's Lava Lair Grandmaster Galaxy	TBD
Flower Mimic	Carnivorous plants which can be used as platforms. Flower Mimics prepare to swallow Mario with their rubbery mouths if he does not jump off in time. Mario is damaged and spat out if ingested.	Honeybloom Galaxy Honeyhop Galaxy	TBD
Gummit	Green, vaguely mole-like creatures which appear in The Chimp's ice-themed challenges. Gummits are harmless, but need to be bumped into and defeated in order to earn points to complete The Chimp's challenges. The green Gummits offer 10 points when bumped into.	Freezy Flake Galaxy Shiverburn Galaxy	TBD
Golden Gummit	Gold versions of Gummits, which offer 50 points when bumped into. They appear less frequently than their green relatives.	Freezy Flake Galaxy Shiverburn Galaxy	TBD
Kleptoad	Blue frog-like creatures which dig out of the ground, spawning infinitely. Kleptoads steal coins and Silver Stars, carrying them above their heads. They can be defeated by having Yoshi eat them or by jumping on their heads.	Hightail Falls Galaxy	TBD
Magmaargh	Gigantic lava monsters which appear out of lava and bite down at whatever lies in front of them. Magmaarghs are made entirely out of liquid and thus can pass through solid objects.	Fleet Glide Galaxy Melty Monster Galaxy	TBD
Magmaw	Smaller relatives of Magmaarghs which stride through the lava, engulfing stone planetoids in their mouths. Magmaws can pass through solid rocks due to their liquid nature.	Melty Monster Galaxy	TBD

File:Whimp.png Pattan	Diminutive Whomps which only appear in the Whomp King's boss fight. They are summoned in groups of three or five and chase Mario, falling flat on their faces in an attempt to crush him. Pattans only take a single point of Mario's health and disintegrate upon falling down to attack.	Throwback Galaxy	TBD
Pinhead	nihil	Boulder Bowl Galaxy Melty Monster Galaxy	TBD
Prickly Piranha Plant	A black Spiny Piranha Plant with extra spikes on its head, granting it immunity to being stomped. Prickly Piranha Plant violently slams its head into the ground in an attempt to crush Mario, just like its purple counterpart. It can only be defeated by spinning a rubbery bulb at it, when its head is stuck in the ground. Only one Prickly Piranha Plant appears in the game.	Sky Station Galaxy	TBD
Pupdozer	Spiky dinosaur-like enemies which crawl back and forth across a set area. Pupdozers cannot be damaged by jumping on them, but ground-pounding a grate from underneath them flips them over and defeats them.	Flipsville Galaxy	TBD
Rhomp	Cylindrical Thwomp-like enemies which roll down a sand slide in an attempt to flatten Mario, forcing him to slide out of the way to dodge them.	Slipsand Galaxy	TBD

Silver Chomps can be defeated by running into one as Rainbow Mario, by pushing one off a cliff while on a Star Ball, or by spinning a rubbery bulb into them.	Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy Slipsand Galaxy Battle Belt Galaxy	TBD
Smeech	Spherical winged creatures which flee from Mario, but upon seeing Yoshi, they float towards him and latch on to his mouth to kiss him, remaining there as long as they can. This prevents Yoshi from using his tongue or eating fruits. Smeeches also kiss Yoshi if he tries to eat one. They can be defeated by simply spinning them when mounting Yoshi, or by stomping or spinning them as Mario.	Yoshi Star Galaxy Hightail Falls Galaxy Haunty Halls Galaxy Starshine Beach Galaxy Sweet Mystery Galaxy	TBD
Snoodle	Underwater tube worm-like enemies which lean towards Mario if they get too close in order to block his path. Snoodle can be defeated by shining the light from a Green Shell into them, throwing the shell at them, by shooting two Star Bits at them, or by spinning into one.	Cosmic Cove Galaxy Slimy Spring Galaxy	TBD
Spiky Gummit	Spiky purple Gummits which stun Mario if he touches one, costing him time in the Chimp's challenges.	Freezy Flake Galaxy Shiverburn Galaxy	TBD
Swaphopper	Insect-like shelled enemies which hop sideways into Mario. Swaphoppers only appear in two-dimensional areas with alternating gravity. They possess a spiked shell on one of their sides which is invulnerable to attacks, and a soft underbelly which can be stomped on to defeat them. The alternating gravity means that Swaphoppers alternate between being vulnerable and being immune to attacks when the gravity switches.	Rightside Down Galaxy Upside Dizzy Galaxy Battle Belt Galaxy	TBD
Tongari	Rare conch-like enemies which slowly move back and forth. Tongari cannot be defeated by any means.	Starshine Beach Galaxy Boo Moon Galaxy	TBD
Twirlip	Tulip enemies which open their flower to spin around the area. Twirlips can be spinned, stomped, or eaten by Yoshi in their bud form, but can only be defeated with a stomp when spinning.	Spin-Dig Galaxy Flipsville Galaxy Starshine Beach Galaxy	TBD

Returning enemies

Name	Description	Locations	Possible spoils

Big Koopa Troopa ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Big Thwomp ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Big Wiggler ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Blooper	White squids. They swim erratically when approached by Mario in an attempt to strike him. They can be defeated with a spin or a shell. Bloopers release a cloud of ink when defeated by the player.	Buoy Base Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy	×3
Bob-omb	Walking bombs that look like wind-up toys. There are two varieties: Bob-ombs that actively pursue Mario until they explode and legless bombs than can be picked up and thrown. The legless variety can be used to destroy cages, enemies, and trash in the Bob-omb Blasting minigame. Jumping on a walking Bob-omb causes its legs to recede into its body and become this second variant.	Battlerock Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy Rolling Gizmo Galaxy	None
Bomb Boo SMG	Explosive Boos. Unlike normal Boos, Bomb Boos do not cower when faced by Mario. They charge directly towards him on sight. Spinning near a Bomb Boo causes Mario to grab onto its tongue and swing it in circles, like a lasso. It detonates if it is swung into an object or wall. If Mario does not release the Bomb Boo, it is pulled in closer and explodes in his face. Bomb Boos are conjured by Bouldergeist and can be used to destroy the boss's stone armor.	Ghostly Galaxy	None
Bomp	Large, moving stones that shift in-and-out of crevices found on walls. They do not damage Mario directly, but they are positioned to push him off of platforms and solid ground. The tops of their bodies can be walked on.	Freezeflame Galaxy	Indestructible
Boo	Round ghosts with long tongues. They pursue Mario when his back is turned towards them. If Mario looks directly at Boos, they sheepishly shield their their eyes and stop moving. Spinning them causes them to shift their position and forces them to phase through nearby walls, but they cannot be damaged this way. Boos are only weak to beacons of light – including the headlamp of the Toad Brigade Captain. Some can be found underwater. A rival character called the Spooky Speedster is of this species, and Mario can transform into one via the Boo Mushroom. Normal Boos become infatuated with Mario if encountered in his Boo form.	Ghostly Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy Bigmouth Galaxy Sand Spiral Galaxy	×1 ×1
Boomerang Bro ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Boulder	Giant, rolling rocks. They are composed of cragged stones with a red gem in their center. Boulders roll around in circles or off the sides of platforms, damaging Mario on contact. Striking them in their red gem with a spin destroys them. There are cliffside caves that continuously release Boulders indefinitely in several galaxies.	Good Egg Galaxy Honeyhive Galaxy Gusty Garden Galaxy Freezeflame Galaxy Dusty Dune Galaxy Gold Leaf Galaxy Melty Molten Galaxy	×7
Bowser Statue ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Bullet Bill SMG	Angry-looking missiles that are fired from Bill Blasters. They normally fly in a straight line, but they change course and directly target Mario if he is within their proximity. Mario can lure Bullet Bills towards cages and fences in order to destroy them. Their eyes flash with red light and their bodies twirl when they lock onto Mario.	Good Egg Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor Battlerock Galaxy Buoy Base Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor Dreadnought Galaxy Melty Molten Galaxy Bowser's Galaxy Reactor Bubble Blast Galaxy	None
Cannonball	Round ammunition shot from enemy cannons. They maintain a straight, horizontal trajectory and move relatively slowly. They burst when they make contact with Mario. A Cannonball can be taken out by shooting it with a Star Bit.	Battlerock Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Gusty Garden Galaxy Sling Pod Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy	None
Cheep Cheep SMG	Pudgy red fish. They hopelessly bounce around in a set trajectory. They can be defeated with a spin or a jump.	Deep Dark Galaxy	×1 ×3
File:ChompSMG.png Chomp	Toothy, metal monsters that roll in a set trajectory. The only way to defeat them is by running into them with a Rainbow Star. They bark like a dog when in close proximity. A cannon in Good Egg Galaxy expels smaller variants of Chomps.	Good Egg Galaxy Battlerock Galaxy Ghostly Galaxy	×7
Clampy	A giant clam that periodically opens and shuts its valves. Either Star Chips or coins can be found within them. Snapping shut with Mario inside damages him.	Beach Bowl Galaxy	Indestructible
Cluckboom	Red Coo Coos that lay explosive eggs. They fly in a continuous set path, fluttering back-and-forth. They fall to the ground if shot at with Star Bits, which leaves them dazed and open to attack.	Dusty Dune Galaxy	×1 ×3
Crabber (red)	Aggressive, sidestepping crabs. Crabbers have hard shells that protect them from jumps and spins head-on, but their fleshy rears are exposed and can be struck. Red Crabbers directly move in to attack Mario, but move slowly.	Dusty Dune Galaxy Sea Slide Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy Bigmouth Galaxy	×3
Crabber (turquoise)	Evasive, cowardly Crabbers that frantically scuttle away from Mario. They bury themselves underground in an attempt to escape and resurface shortly after.	Dusty Dune Galaxy Sea Slide Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy Bigmouth Galaxy	×1
Dry Bones SMG	Undead Koopa Troopas. They chase down and tackle Mario on sight. If stomped on, spun, or hit with a shell, Dry Bones crumble into a pile of bones, but regenerate after a few seconds. There are three ways to truly defeat Dry Bones: by luring a Bullet Bill into them; by running into them as Rainbow Mario; or by luring them into quicksand.	Dusty Dune Galaxy Bowser's Dark Matter Plant Bowser's Galaxy Reactor	×3
Fire Pressure	Mounted flamethrowers that periodically shoot streams of flame. The flames are expelled in set intervals that can be timed.	Bowser's Star Reactor Toy Time Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy Bubble Blast Galaxy	Indestructible
Flipbug SMG	Skittish beetles. When Mario is in close proximity, they cowardly try to fly away before tiring out and falling to the ground, flailing helplessly. If spotted in his bee form, they aggressively pursue him.	Honeyhive Galaxy Gusty Garden Galaxy Gold Leaf Galaxy	×1 ×3
Floating Mine	Spiked bombs that are suspended in mid-air. They are usually fixed in one spot, but some move in vertical and horizontal trajectories in a few galaxies. Making contact with a mine causes it to explode in Mario's face, causing damage. They can be destroyed by shooting them with a Star Bit.	Battlerock Galaxy Bubble Breeze Galaxy Ghostly Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Sling Pod Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy Sand Spiral Galaxy Bubble Blast Galaxy	None
Floating Mine (underwater)	Naval mines that have eyes and bob up-and-down on chains. They keep their eyes shut unless Mario is in close proximity. They regenerate after detonating.	Deep Dark Galaxy	None
Fuzzy ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Gold Chomp	A rolling Chomp made of gold. It can only be destroyed by Mario if he collides with it while in his rainbow form.	Gusty Garden Galaxy	×1
Goomba	Shiitake-like creatures that chase down Mario when he is in their line of sight. Goombas can be defeated with a single jump. Spinning or shooting them with Star Bits causes them to flip over and spin like a top. They can be kicked or stomped on in this state.	Good Egg Galaxy Space Junk Galaxy Rolling Green Galaxy Battlerock Galaxy Hurry-Scurry Galaxy Beach Bowl Galaxy Buoy Base Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Gusty Garden Galaxy Freezeflame Galaxy Bowser's Dark Matter Plant Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor Gateway Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy Rolling Gizmo Galaxy	×1 ×3 ×1
Goombeetle SMG	Dwarf Goombas that wear metal helmets. The helmets protect them from being stomped. Spinning them makes them fall upside down. They can be defeated in this state.	Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor Battlerock Galaxy Buoy Base Galaxy Bowser's Dark Matter Plant Dreadnought Galaxy	×1
Grinder ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Gringill	Giant eels that prey on Penguins. They are found nestled in caves and swimming in open waters with snapping jaws.

File:SMG2 Artwork Jammyfish.png Jammyfish	Jellyfish-like creatures that idly swim in schools along a set path. They damage Mario on contact, but do not actively pursue him.	Deep Dark Galaxy Bigmouth Galaxy	×1
Jellyfish	Great underwater medusae that electrocute Mario on contact. They idly pulsate in-place and emit a low, otherworldly sound. Jellyfish can be defeated by throwing two shells at them. The first strike turns them green, but their behavior is unchanged.	Deep Dark Galaxy Bigmouth Galaxy	×1
File:SMG Sentry Beam model.png Jump Beamer	Spring-like Topmen that discharge circular shockwaves. They can be used as springs after jumping on their head, allowing Mario to reach great heights.	Flipswitch Galaxy Battlerock Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy	None
Koopa Troopa	Green-shelled turtles. They walk back-and-forth in a straight line. When jumped on, they retreat into their shells, allowing Mario to pick it up and use it as a Green Shell.	Space Junk Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Dusty Dune Galaxy Sea Slide Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy Bigmouth Galaxy	×1
Lakitu ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Lava Bubble (blue)	Floating drops of lava that propel themselves towards Mario. Lava Bubbles appear during the boss battle with King Kaliente. They can only be defeated by shooting them with a Star Bit and otherwise burnout on their own.	Good Egg Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor Melty Molten Galaxy	None
Lava Bubble (red) ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Li'l Brr	Floating ice enemies that freeze Mario on contact. Spinning near them neutralizes their icy cloud and forces them to the ground. This leaves them vulnerable to being kicked. Neutralized Ice Bubbles propel themselves towards the nearest pool of freezing water to regenerate their cold aura.	Freezeflame Galaxy Toy Time Galaxy	×1
Li'l Cinder	Floating fire enemies that burn Mario on contact. Spinning near them extinguishes their flame and leave them vulnerable to being kicked. Extinguished Li'l Cinders hop towards the nearest pool of lava to reignite.	Freezeflame Galaxy Melty Molten Galaxy	×1
Magikoopa	Robed koopas that can teleport. They conjure fireballs and toss them at Mario with their wand. Shooting one with a Star Bit does not leave it dazed, but it does stall to block the bit. A Magikoopa featured in one of the opening cutscenes is localized in English as "Kamek".	Space Junk Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Toy Time Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy Matter Splatter Galaxy Sand Spiral Galaxy	×1
Mandibug SMG	Large stink bug-like enemies that prey on Honeybees. They quickly charge towards Mario in a straight line after making visual contact, snapping at him with their mandibles. They can be defeated by Ground Pounding them on their backs, as indicated by the symbol on their abdomen. Mandibugs cower in fear if Mario stands on their back but eventually shake him off.	Honeyhive Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Honeyclimb Galaxy Gold Leaf Galaxy	×3
Meteor	Fiery space rocks. Bowser shoots them out of his mouth to destroy the big staircase in Bowser's Star Reactor. They otherwise typically appear raining from the sky in volcanic galaxies.	Bowser's Star Reactor Honeyclimb Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor Melty Molten Galaxy Gateway Galaxy	None
Micro Goomba	Diminutive and weak Goombas. Like normal-sized Goombas, they charge towards Mario if he is near. They can can be defeated with a single spin.	Rolling Green Galaxy Battlerock Galaxy Freezeflame Galaxy Dusty Dune Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor Gateway Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy Rolling Gizmo Galaxy	×1
Micro Mecha-Bowser	Mechanical Koopas that breath fire. They can only be defeated with a Ground Pound. Spinning them causes their heads to swing back and briefly delays their fire breath attack.	Toy Time Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy	×1
Mini Wanwan	Small Chomps that roll out of doghouses. Mini Wanwans cannot be damaged directly: they are only destroyed once all nearby Flipswitch Panels are activated.	Dreadnought Galaxy	×3
Octoguy SMG	Small Electrogoombas that shuffle backwards from Mario when approached. They periodically stop to shoot a rock at him from their siphon. Octoguys are defeated with a spin or jump. They often appear in large groups.	Honeyhive Galaxy Buoy Base Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Gold Leaf Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy	×1 ×3
Octoomba	Goomba-like octopus creatures. They sidestep back-and-forth along a set back and keep their eyes locked onto Mario when he is nearby. If in close proximity, they attempt to strike him with the hair-like protrusion on their heads. Electrogoombas can be defeated by spinning them once or jumping on their heads.	Good Egg Galaxy Battlerock Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Toy Time Galaxy	×1 ×3
Octopus	Large, stationary Electrogoombas that hide in barrels. They shoot coconuts and flaming rocks at Mario from their siphon. The coconuts can be deflected back at them if spun against. Octopuses are always found in pairs.	Good Egg Galaxy Space Junk Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor Dreadnought Galaxy	None
Paragoomba ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Petapeta	Sandal-wearing sack creatures that turn invisible when moving. Petapetas are harmless, but can be defeated to recover a large number of Star Bits. Their movement can be tracked by following their footsteps.	Good Egg Galaxy Gusty Garden Galaxy Sea Slide Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy Gateway Galaxy	×20
Piranha Plant SMG	Carnivorous plants that lunge out at Mario with snapping jaws if approached. They scoffingly laugh if they make a successful bite. Piranha Plants can be defeated with a spin or a stomp, and can be stunned by shooting a Star Bit at one. Sproutle Vines sometimes grow from where a Piranha Plant is defeated. They idly keep their heads raised skyward when unapproached.	Good Egg Galaxy Honeyhive Galaxy Beach Bowl Galaxy Gusty Garden Galaxy Dusty Dune Galaxy Gold Leaf Galaxy	×1 ×3 ×1
Pokey Head	Disembodied Pokeys. They are buried with only their flowers visible. When approached by Mario, they burst out of the ground and start hopping after them. A Pokey Head gleefully bounces in-place if it successfully strikes Mario. They can be defeated in a single hit with a spin or stomp.	Gusty Garden Galaxy Dusty Dune Galaxy	×1 ×3
Prickly plant	Idle plants with sharp, needle-like flowers. They damage Mario on contact. Destroying them without a power-up usually requires striking them with another object, such as a coconut or rubbery bulb plant.	Good Egg Galaxy Gusty Garden Galaxy Dusty Dune Galaxy Toy Time Galaxy Gateway Galaxy Bowser's Galaxy Reactor	×3 ×1
Ring Beamer	Domed machines covered in spikes that emit circular shockwaves. The shockwaves cause electrical damage. They cannot be damaged or halted by any means. Unlike Ball Beamers, attempting to jump on Ring Beamers damages him.	Toy Time Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy	Indestructible
Sentry Beam	Stationary robots suspended above ground via a propeller. They shoot electric lasers from their maw. Sentry Beams are completely invincible, although standing on top of them temporarily prevent it from firing. They follow Mario's position when he is close.	Battlerock Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Toy Time Galaxy	Indestructible
Skeeter ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Slurple SMG	Leech-like enemies which latch onto Mario and gradually depletes his life meter. Slurples are easily disposed of with a spin.	Good Egg Galaxy Honeyhive Galaxy Gusty Garden Galaxy Gold Leaf Galaxy Sea Slide Galaxy	×1
Spiky Topman SMG	Top enemies that spin into Mario. Spiky Topmen do not directly harm him, but they can push him into hazards or off of a platform. The spike on their heads protects them from being stomped on and damage him on contact. Spiky Topmen can only be defeated if into an electric rail or off the side of a platform.	Battlerock Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy	×1
Spiny ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Spiny Cheep Cheep	Rare pufferfish enemies. They protract their spines and charge towards Mario on sight. They can only be found hidden within sunken treasure chests.	Drip Drop Galaxy	×7
Spiny Egg ★	nihil	nihil	TBD

Sprangler	Spoings that hang from silk. They sway back-and-forth in an attempt to strike Mario. Spranglers become briefly incapacitated if spun into and can be kicked to defeat them. They otherwise can be jumped on.	Ghostly Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Sea Slide Galaxy	×1 ×3
Spring Topman	Green Topmen. Colliding with Mario causes him to spin out-of-control. Jumping on one's head leaves it stunned and exposes the spring underneath its head. It can be jumped on while in this state to reach great heights. Some Spring Topmen can produce single Topminis.	Buoy Base Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy	None
Super Piranha Plant ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Thwomp	Giant, grimacing stones. They hang suspended in mid-air but periodically slam down towards the ground with violent force. Crushing Mario completely depletes his life meter. The tops and sides of their bodies can be used as platforms and walls, respectively. A slightly smaller variant appears in Dreadnought Galaxy.	Bowser's Star Reactor Beach Bowl Galaxy Buoy Base Galaxy Dusty Dune Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy Melty Molten Galaxy Bowser's Galaxy Reactor	Indestructible
Topmini SMG	Tiny Topmen that can be defeated by spinning into them. Topminis are incapable of damaging Mario and can only push them around. There are dark voids continuously produce Topminis. They otherwise are produced by Spring Topmen and Jump Guarders.	Buoy Base Galaxy Dreadnought Galaxy	×1
Tox Box (stone) SMG	Giant, solemn-looking boxes made out of stone. They roll around in set trajectories. One of their sides is open and can be safely stood under. All other sides crush Mario. Tox Boxes are the same width of the paths they travel, making them difficult to avoid.	Beach Bowl Galaxy Toy Time Galaxy	Indestructible
Undergrunt	Burrowing moles that prey on Star Bunnies. They leave trails of disturbed dirt as they burrow through the ground. They can be defeated by ground-pounding approximal earth. This forces them to the surface and dazed, leaving them vulnerable to being spun. Their spiked helmets damage Mario if he tries to jump on them. The helmets protrude from the ground as the Undergrunts burrow, enabling the player to track their movements.	Gusty Garden Galaxy Gold Leaf Galaxy	×3
Undergrunt Gunner ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Urchin	Benthic creatures with protractible spines. They aggressively roll towards Mario when he is in close proximity. They can only be damaged by shells and fireballs.	Beach Bowl Galaxy Buoy Base Galaxy Freezeflame Galaxy Sea Slide Galaxy Drip Drop Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy	×5
Urchin (land)	Red Urchins only found on land. One protracts its spines and rolls towards Mario if he approaches it. They are immune to spinning or being stomped. They can only be damaged by fire and lava. There is a box-like stone scultupre in Freezeflame Galaxy that continuously expels these Urchins.	Freezeflame Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy	×5
Water Shooter	Mounted nozzles that shoot large drops of water over great distances. A drop traps Mario if within its trajectory and carries him with it. He is freed if he spins.	Honeyhive Galaxy Buoy Base Galaxy Deep Dark Galaxy Sand Spiral Galaxy	Indestructible
Whomp ★	nihil	nihil	TBD
Wiggler	Caterpillars that amble around in circles. Performing a ground-pound on nearby earth or directly spinning one flips a Wiggler on its back. If the incapacitated Wiggler is not defeated within five seconds, it becomes angry and uprights itself. An enraged Wiggler is much faster and cannot be harmed. It returns to its original disposition after a few seconds. Wigglers can be defeated in a single hit by ground-pounding them.	Honeyhive Galaxy Beach Bowl Galaxy Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada Gusty Garden Galaxy Gold Leaf Galaxy	×7
