Shoe of Kuribo

The guardian of the seventh gate. His name is a reference to Kuribo's Shoe. The use of the word "Kuribo" is surprising, as Nintendo had changed the name of the shoe to "Goomba's Shoe". He has a habit of saying "STOMPOW!" often, and goes through several pairs of shoes a month.

As his name implies, he shrieks and screams quite often, so much so that he must take lozenges when his throat gets hoarse. He is often on the injured reserve, due to the hoarseness of his throat. There's a boss named Screaming Mantis in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

The guardian of the twelfth gate. His name may be a reference to Urchins. He was once King Sammer's personal trainer, until an unfortunate sit-up incident.

Crow Who Eats

The guardian of the thirteenth gate. Though it is unlikely, his name may have some relation to either Ravens or the crows in Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Due to his many taunts before battle, it is very awkward when he loses.

Swollen Tongue

The guardian of the fourteenth gate. He is a Green Sammer Guy with a mustache and a spike. He makes mistakes with speaking because of his bad tongue (for example when he wants to say "Bye now!" he says "Buy now!). This may be a reference to Chef Shimi.
