Brickmen[1] are enemies in Mario vs. Donkey Kong. They appear as a single pair of eyes peeking out from within a pile of bricks. In the Nintendo Switch remake, the individual bricks have a slightly altered design, and two bricks now function as the enemy's eyebrows.

Brickmen attack by dropping three bricks below them at a time. Mario must either pass through the hazardous path carefully or use a Handstand Walk so that the falling bricks harmlessly bounce off him. Brickmen are always located in inaccessible spaces, and therefore cannot be defeated. They are encountered in Mario Toy Company, Twilight City, Mario Toy Factory, and Twilight City Plus.

The bricks that Brickmen release are known in Japanese as「レンガブロック」(Renga Burokku, Brick Block),[2][3] despite looking and acting differently from the Brick Blocks in the Super Mario series.
