This is my personal project page.
Common and notable enemies and obstacles
Species | ||
---|---|---|
Image | Brief Biography | First Appearance |
Goomba | ||
Goombas are one of the most common enemies in the Super Mario games, as well as the first and among the most basic. These shiitake-like creatures were once members of the Mushroom Kingdom, but turned traitor when Bowser attacked. They can be defeated with a single jump. Super Mario Sunshine is the only game that does not have them; the game's Goomba-analog is the Strollin' Stu. | ||
Koopa Troopa | ||
Koopa Troopas are common turtle-like foes that retreat into their shells when jumped upon, or in some cases, get knocked out of them. They are among the most basic enemies, and are also one of the most common. They were originally depicted as quadrupedal, but starting with Super Mario World, they begin to walk on two legs, with some exceptions, like in Super Mario Galaxy. Typically, green ones will walk off ledges they come to, while red ones turn away from them. While sometimes simply known as "Koopas," not all Koopas are Koopa Troopas. According to Super Paper Mario, Goombas have had a long-held fear of Koopa Troopas, presumably because of their indestructible and hard-hitting shells. | ||
Koopa Paratroopa | ||
Koopa Paratroopas are Koopa Troopas with wings. With some exceptions, the green ones either hop along or move left and right, while the red ones fly up and down. The rare yellow ones in Super Mario World instead chase Mario on foot, and will jump over obstacles. Jumping on them causes them to lose their wings. | ||
Piranha Plant | ||
File:PiranhaPlantWii.png |
Piranha Plants are carnivorous plants that often live in Pipes, although they are also found planted in the ground, especially in the 3D games. Normally, they cannot be jumped upon, but this isn't the case in the 3D games after Super Mario 64. | |
Cheep Cheep | ||
Cheep Cheeps are fish that are typically depicted with wing-like fins and mohawks, although there has been some variation. While they normally swim or jump, their exact behavior may vary drastically by game. Some will chase, and may even try to eat him; some swim in a wavy pattern, while others swim in a line. | ||
Blooper | ||
Bloopers, formerly Bloobers, are white squid-like creatures that usually follow Mario through the water with dangerous speed and accuracy. The ones of Isle Delfino instead travel on land near water, and spit ink, and die if they fall in the water. | ||
Lakitu | ||
File:Lakitu-NSMBU.png |
Lakitus are cloud-riding Koopas that drop Spiny Eggs, which become Spinies upon hitting the ground. In some games, the cloud can be ridden in after they are defeated. | |
Spiny Egg | ||
Spiny Eggs are dropped by Lakitus and become Spinies when they hit the ground. There is also a green type that doesn't hatch and a kind that turns into Piranha Plants. | ||
Spiny | ||
Spinies are small, spiked Koopas that cannot be jumped upon. They are dropped by Lakitus as eggs, though some can be found in other places, such as upside down in caves. | ||
Buzzy Beetle | ||
File:BuzzybeetleNSMBU.png |
Buzzy Beetles are small yet tough Koopas that are immune to fire, and tend to live in caves. They sometimes crawl on ceilings, in which case they will drop when Mario and Luigi come nearby. | |
Hammer Bro | ||
Hammer Bros are Koopas that are commonly found in pairs, and throw an endless supply of Hammers. Relatives include Boomerang Bros, Fire Bros, Sledge Bros, Sumo Bros, and Ice Bros. One Hammer Bro from the first game is, retroactively, a unique character in the Mario franchise; he is referenced in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and is Hamma Jamma's grandfather. According to Hamma Jamma, World 7-1 was his "hood." | ||
Bullet Bill | ||
Bullet Bills are ammunition that usually travel in a straight line. In some of the 3D games, they will follow Mario, a behavior that is similar to the Bull's-Eye Bills in the 2D games. | ||
Bill Blaster | ||
File:Bill Blasternsmbwii.PNG |
Bill Blasters are two-sided cannons that shoot Bullet Bills. They are usually emblazoned with a skull. In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, they are grey cubes with a scrap metal-like texture and only one cannon. Super Mario 64 is notable for having only one of these enemies in the entire game; it is located at the beginning of the staircase to the top of Whomp's Fortress. Super Mario 64 DS, however, adds another in a new area behind Whomp's Fortress, as well as some in Dire, Dire Docks. | |
Lava Bubble | ||
Lava Bubbles, formerly Podoboos, are balls of fire that leap out of Lava. Starting in Super Mario World, their design sometimes includes eyes. | ||
Fire Bar | ||
Fire Bars, are rows of fireballs rotating around blocks. Their length varies greatly, and are commonly found in castle levels. | ||
Poison Mushroom | ||
File:PoisonMushroom-SNES.png |
Poison Mushrooms sometimes come out of ? Blocks like Super Mushrooms do. However, they are colored differently, originally using the palette used for Goombas, Buzzy Beetles, Bloopers, and most blocks, with later games changing them to indigo or purple. In Super Mario 3D Land, they actively chase Mario. | |
Wind | ||
File:WorldA-3SMBTheLostLevels.png |
Wind pushes Mario around, potentially into an abyss. However, it can also push him out of an abyss, or across a gap. It appears in many levels of Super Mario 64, and it makes a notable appearance in World 2-4 of New Super Mario Bros Wii. Fwooshes, Wind Spirits, and Ty-Foos, along with Gusties from the Yoshi franchise are all enemies relating to wind. | |
Shy Guy | ||
Shy Guys were Wart's main troops in Super Mario Bros. 2. They are notable for their amount of subspecies, but have for the most part been relegated to spinoffs. In Super Mario Bros. 2, the red ones walked off of ledges and the pink ones turned around. The pink ones were blue in the remakes. | ||
Tweeter | ||
Tweeters are jumping masked birdlike creatures that commonly appear alongside Shy Guys in Super Mario Bros. 2. Their masks resemble those worn by Wikipedia:Plague doctors. | ||
Trouter | ||
Trouters are jumping fish, although their original sprites looked more like leaves. They are used as platforms to cross waterfalls, typically. Early spinoffs depicted them as being constantly-hungry eating machines. | ||
Ninji | ||
Ninjis are hopping, star-shaped creatures. Initially designed to have goofy fanged faces, they are now depicted with button cheeks, thus hinting that their black "skin" is actually a garment. | ||
Pidgit | ||
Pidgits are small black, blue, or purple crows that typically ride Magic Carpets. Once they are removed, the heroes can use the carpet for a short period. Others have been known to be fired from Bill Blasters as "Pidgit Bills. | ||
Beezo | ||
Beezos, also called Shy Aways, are flying, lance-carrying Shy Guys. In the NES version of Super Mario Bros. 2, red ones swoop down on the heroes while grey and green ones fly straight ahead, although the latter was misidentified as pink in the instruction manual. In the remakes, the colors were changed from red to yellowish-brown and grey/green to red. | ||
Snifit | ||
Snifits are gas mask-wearing Shy Guys from Super Mario Bros. 2, and occasional enemies in the Yoshi franchise. They spit solid nightmares out from the nozzle on the front. The pink/blue ones turn when they reach cliffs, and the grey/green ones hop in place. There is only one red Snifit in Super Mario Bros. 2. The ghostly Snufits from Super Mario 64 are a subspecies, but have the same Japanese name. Megaleg of Super Mario Galaxy is a titanic mechanical Snifit. | ||
Phanto | ||
File:SM2Adv-enemie-Phanto.png |
Phantos are frightful floating masks that give chase when someone picks up the Key that they guard. | |
Bob-omb | ||
Bob-ombs are walking bombs. In some games, they actively chase Mario before exploding; in others, they won't ignite until Mario attacks them. In the Paper Mario series, they are noted for their short tempers. | ||
Pokey | ||
Pokeys are tall segmented cacti. While it has been inconsistent as to whether or not it's safe to jump upon them, the head is usually the weak point. | ||
Spike Trap | ||
Spike Traps are areas of sharp, pointy spikes that can power down the Mario Bros and can take away health and lives. Spike Traps are either stationary, retractable, attached to a moving object, or any combination of these positions. Yoshi, however, is normally immune to their harmful effects. | ||
Fire Piranha Plant | ||
Fire Piranha Plants, also known as Venus Fire Traps, are fire-spitting Piranha Plants. A similar species called the "Magic Piranha Plant" appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. | ||
Paragoomba | ||
Paragoombas are winged Goombas. Some of them jump, some fly back and forth, and others drop parasitic Micro-Goombas. Jumping on them typically causes them to become Goombas. | ||
Micro Goomba | ||
Micro Goombas, also known as Mini Goombas and Small Goombas, are miniature Goombas. They are often parasitic, weighing Mario down; these are sometimes called Mugger Micro-Goombas. There are also a kind that hides under Brick Blocks and jumps with them; these are Pile Driver Micro-Goombas. The ones in Super Mario Galaxy, however, were barely smaller than ordinary Goombas, and had rounder heads, looking vaguely like Goombos. They were also olive green. | ||
Boomerang Bro | ||
File:Boomerang Bro SM3DL.png |
Boomerang Bros are Hammer Bros that wield Boomerangs. They are commonly found alone, and usually have blue shells, although the ones in Super Mario Bros. 3 had black shells and either green or light blue skin, with the remakes giving them all green skin. | |
Roto-disc | ||
Roto-discs are circular obstacles with a waffle-like pattern on them, that constantly circle around. They stand in for Fire Bars as Super Mario Bros 3's main fortress obstacle. A similar, unnamed obstacle appears in Super Mario Land, while Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins has the similar Satellite. | ||
Dry Bones | ||
Dry Bones are skeletal Koopa Troopas that often appear in castles. When jumped upon, they will temporarily fall apart, putting themselves back together after a few moments. | ||
Cannon | ||
Cannons are commonly found on Airships and shoot Cannonballs. There also exists a living, pig-like cannon called Bomubomu as well as a bipedal one called Kaboomba. | ||
Boo | ||
Boos, formerly known as "Boo" Diddlies and Boo Buddies, are shy, spherical ghosts that attack only when Mario's back is turned from them. Other behaviors are exhibited by Circling Boo Buddies, Boo Buddy Snakes, Boo Blocks, Disappearing Boo Buddies, Boo Buddy Swarms, and Bomb Boos, as well as the Boos of Super Mario Sunshine. They are known for their large tongues and short arms, and most famously, their shy personality, hence attacking only when the plumbers' backs, or anyone's, for the matter, are turned. | ||
Thwomp | ||
File:ThwompNSMBU.png |
Thwomps are floating stone faces that crash down either when Mario gets close, or in a set pattern. | |
Chain Chomp | ||
File:Chain Chomp NSMBW.png |
