A Burrbo is a small hedgehog type enemy appearing in Super Mario Odyssey, debuting in the Cascade Kingdom, and returning in Seaside Kingdom, Dark Side, Metro Kingdom, Bowser's Kingdom, Mushroom Kingdom and Darker Side. They come in five different colors: green, orange, yellow, pink and blue. They attack by hopping towards Mario. They have two legs and no arms they are found in large groups, and can be defeated easily with a hat throw. They cannot be Captured and more will rise from the ground when the others are defeated. The design for their eyes closely resembles Cappy's, while the design for their mouths resemble those of Goombas.

Etymology

Their name comes from "burr," a term relating to thorn, and possibly "Kuribo," the Japanese name for Goomba, in reference to their Goomba-like appearance and stature. However, the "-bo" in Kuribo actually means "person" or "people."
