The Iron Adonis Twins (a.k.a. The Armored Harriers) are a fighting team in the Glitz Pit that appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The team consists of a unique pair of large, metallic blue Clefts known as Iron Clefts. The Iron Adonis Twins are brothers, the older of which wears red shoes and the younger of which wears green shoes, referencing Mario and Luigi's primary colors.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Initially, the Iron Adonis Twins are ranked 10th in the Glitz Pit, the lowest ranking in the Major League. Mario is required to defeat them in order to advance to the Major League. They hold a grudge against Mario after Grubba tells them some trash talk that he accredits to Mario (namely a reference to outies running in the family, since their mother apparently had an outie). The Iron Adonis Twins are made of impenetrable metal that is so hard that they can only be hurt by hitting one with the other, granting them immunity to all of Mario and his partners' attacks, including piercing attacks and perfectly timed Superguards. Mario is only able to defeat these two Iron Clefts with the help of Yoshi Kid, who is able to 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. They form a grudge against Mario and attempt revenge by ambushing him after he reaches 7th rank.

When Mario has to visit the Minor League locker room while searching for the Dubious Documents, The Iron Adonis Twins threaten to fight Mario outside the ring.

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.

Although Iron Clefts are mentioned by Goombella's tattle to only be vulnerable when one is whacked into the other, the Super Hammer and Ultra Hammer moves are unable to deal damage to The Iron Adonis Twins, despite allowing Mario to hit most enemies into their allies with these moves.

Unlike most enemies that share a name, the two Iron Clefts each have separate entries in the Tattle Log, likely owing to their unique designs.

Tattle That's an Iron Cleft. That guy is SCARY. Period! Max HP is 6, Attack is 4, and Defense is...UNKNOWN?!? What's WITH this book? It says no attack will work against Iron Clefts! It says nothing in the world is as hard as an Iron Cleft, so its Defense is impenetrable. If that's true, the only way to beat one is to whack it with the other one... Running away may not be a bad idea at this point.

Field Tattles

Outside of battle, Goombella can use Tattle on the Iron Adonis Twins only when Mario revisits the minor-league locker room for a mission given by Jolene (under the alias of "X") after receiving the Super Hammer.

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?"
