'''Brickmen''' are enemies in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. They appear as a single pair of eyes peeking out from within a pile of bricks. In [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|the Nintendo Switch remake]], the individual bricks have a slightly altered design, and two bricks now function as the enemy's eyebrows.
