'''The Iron Adonis Twins''', also known as '''The Armored Harriers''', is a team consisting of the only two [[Iron Cleft]]s that appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' along with its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. They are brothers, with the older one wearing red shoes and the younger one wearing green shoes, referencing Mario and Luigi's primary colors. This combination of red and green appears often in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].
==History==
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
Initially, the Iron Adonis Twins are ranked 10th in [[Glitz Pit]]. They hold a grudge against [[Mario]] after [[Grubba]] tells them some trash talk that he accredits to Mario (namely the reference to outies running in the family, since their mother has an outie). The Iron Adonis Twins are made of iron that Mario cannot break through. He is only able to defeat these two Iron Clefts with the help of [[Yoshi Kid|Yoshi]], who can 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, and they form a grudge against Mario. When Mario has to visit the Minor League locker room while searching for the [[Dubious Documents]], the Iron Adonis Twins threaten to fight outside the ring.
 
When Mario defeats [[the Shellshockers]], the Iron Adonis Twins barge into the ring and pick another fight with Mario.
 
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]].


The Armored Harriers were ranked 10th in the [[Glitzville]]'s [[Glitz Pit]]. The pair are made of iron that [[Mario]] cannot break through, and only with the help of [[Yoshi (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Yoshi]], who is able to take an enemy into his mouth with his tongue and spit them back at the other enemy, was Mario able to defeat these two Iron Clefts. One of them wears red shoes, while the other wears green shoes, implying that the former is older. This type of red and green symbolism appears often in the ''Mario'' series.
In the Nintendo Switch remake, the battle condition against the Iron Adonis Twins during Chapter 3 is always to use a partner move at least once. Mario can be given different battle conditions when fighting the Iron Adonis Twins after Chapter 3.


After Mario and his friends beat the Armored Harriers, the two warriors were downgraded to the Minor League. They formed a grudge against Mario, and attempted revenge by ambushing the plumber after he duelled the [[Tiny Spinies]] Although weakened and surprised, Mario defeated the Armored Harriers a second time.  
===''Super Mario-kun''===
The Iron Adonis twins appear in volume 33 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', in which Yoshi Kid defeats them.


When Mario had to visit the Minor League locker room while searching for the [[Dubious Paper]], the Armored Harriers became very upset.

The Iron Adonis Twins, also known as The Armored Harriers, is a team consisting of the only two Iron Clefts that appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door along with its Nintendo Switch remake. They are brothers, with the older one wearing red shoes and the younger one wearing green shoes, referencing Mario and Luigi's primary colors. This combination of red and green appears often in the Super Mario franchise.

History[edit]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Initially, the Iron Adonis Twins are ranked 10th in Glitz Pit. They hold a grudge against Mario after Grubba tells them some trash talk that he accredits to Mario (namely the reference to outies running in the family, since their mother has an outie). The Iron Adonis Twins are made of iron that Mario cannot break through. He is only able to defeat these two Iron Clefts with the help of Yoshi, who can 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, and they form a grudge against Mario. When Mario has to visit the Minor League locker room while searching for the Dubious Documents, the Iron Adonis Twins threaten to fight outside the ring.

When Mario defeats the Shellshockers, the Iron Adonis Twins barge into the ring and pick another fight with Mario.

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.

In the Nintendo Switch remake, the battle condition against the Iron Adonis Twins during Chapter 3 is always to use a partner move at least once. Mario can be given different battle conditions when fighting the Iron Adonis Twins after Chapter 3.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

The Iron Adonis twins appear in volume 33 of Super Mario-kun, in which Yoshi Kid defeats them.

Running away may not be a bad idea at this point.
