Variants Boomdinero Buccanero Floating Bandinero Pitchfork
Comparable Marumen Wanderin' Goom

Bandineros are enemies and minions of the Shake King in Wario Land: Shake It! Multiple color variants under the Bandinero handle appear in the game, all of which are harmless to Wario and can be defeated with any attack, with the red Bandinero being the most common type encountered. Their name is a blend of "bandit" and "dinero", a Spanish word for "money".

Bandineros have several derivatives, including the Floating Bandinero, Pitchfork, Boomdinero, and Buccanero.

Varieties

Red Bandinero

Red Bandineros are the most common species in the whole game. Most walk from side to side on a platform, turning around at an edge or a wall; others can be found standing in one place. If Wario shakes a red Bandinero, a head of garlic may pop out. The red Bandinero assumes the role of the Wanderin' Goom from the original Wario Land and the Marumen from Wario Land 4.

Profiles and statistics

• Prima Games Official Game Guide:
  • Threat:
  • The most common baddies Wario encounters in the Shake Dimension are also the most timid. Bandineros are too weak to actually harm Wario, making them more nuisances than threats. Wario can easily dispatch these goons with dashes and butt stomps, and he can also get a lot of use out of them: Bandineros are easily stunned and shaken for garlic, and they can be thrown to hit switches, destroy stone blocks, and defeat enemies from afar.
  • NOTE: Most enemies give off garlic when shaken, The only exceptions are golden enemies that exist in certain stages: These rare goons give out coins instead!
