Bumbleprods are enemies that appear in Wario Land: Shake It! They are somewhat similar to the Spiny enemies from the Super Mario franchise.

Bumpleprods look like yellow turtle-like enemies with metallic, navy blue- and orange-striped, helmet-like shells similar to those of overworld Buzzy Beetles from Super Mario Bros. The shell has two sharp horns and spikes going along its top. These enemies do not attack, but they hurt Wario upon contact; they serve as obstacles that move back and forth.

Wario can attack them only by using an Earthshake Punch to flip them over, and then Ground Pounding them to defeat them. Bumbleprods are also seen in various boss battles, such as Bloomsday Blowout. A giant Bumbleprod made of smaller Bumbleprods is also conjured during the battle with the Shake King in the second phase. There is also a golden variant.

Profiles and statistics

  • Website description:
    • English (American):
      You know how some guys are pointy on top, so you can't jump on them? Bumbleprods are pointy everywhere. I like to punch the ground before I fight them.[1]
  • Prima Games Official Game Guide:
    • Threat: RedStar.svgRedStar.svgStarOutline.svg
    • These spiky-shelled vermin must be treated with care. Though nonaggressive, Bumbleprods can easily hurt Wario if he foolishly runs into their sharp spikes. It's often best to avoid these pests by simply jumping past them. If you wish to defeat a Bumbleprod, first stun it with an Earthshake Punch to flip it face up, then butt stomp the baddie's soft belly to squash it flat.[2]
    • CAUTION: Never dash into Bumbleprods. Their spikes will poke Wario even while they're stunned![2]
