Guerrillas are the strongest enemies in the Forest Maze, having powerful physical attacks at their disposal. Like most powerful enemies in the game (i.e. [[Reacher]] or [[Mastadoom]]), Guerrillas appear only rarely: usually one per battle. A stronger, yet physically identical enemy, the [[Chained Kong]], appears later in the game. Aside from their chains and shackles, they appear visually identical to [[Donkey Kong]], a connection that is made during their [[Psychopath]]. Their name is a pun on "gorilla" and "[[wikipedia:Guerrilla warfare|guerrilla warfare]]", which refers to a type of non-traditional combat where small, mobile parties attack larger, more organized militaries.

Guerrillas are Kong-like enemies found in the Forest Maze in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. Their name is a pun on "gorilla" and "guerrilla warfare". Aside from their chains and shackles, they are very similar in appearance to Donkey Kong, as referenced by their thought. They also have a stronger near-identical counterpart, the Chained Kong.

Guerrillas are the strongest enemies in the Forest Maze, having powerful physical attacks at their disposal. Like most powerful enemies in the game (i.e. Reacher or Mastadoom), Guerrillas appear rarely, with only one appearing per battle, and never appearing on the overworld.

An action course in the Trial Course has Mario avoiding the barrels thrown by a Guerrilla, referencing Donkey Kong.

Trivia[edit]

  • Guerrilla's Japanese thought references the all persons fictitious disclaimer, a standard blurb used in the credits of feature films to reduce the risk of a libel lawsuit.[3] While the English release of the SNES version changes it due to text limits, the English release of the Nintendo Switch version restores the reference.[4]
