'''Ants''' are enemies in the [[Tree Zone|Tree]] and [[Macro Zone|Macro Zones]] of ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. Much like [[Goomba]]s, they walk and march into enemies. There are many different varieties, including a [[Miner Ant|Miner]], [[Bazooka Ant|Bazooka]], and [[Spiked Ant|Spiked]]. A standard [[jump]] or a [[fireball]] are enough to defeat it. In [[Wario's Warehouse]] it was is revealed that [[Wario]] keeps a matchbox of ants in his cupboard, waiting for them to worship him as a god. A giant ant also appears in an exhibit of [[Smithsnorian Museum]] of ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]''. A riddle ''Master of Disguise'' also asks "What family member lives on the hills?" and the answer was the Ant.
