Shortfuses are barrel-like cannon enemies from Wario Land: Shake It! They first ignite their fuse, then shoot spiky balls at Wario. They are rather common in Ratl Ruins. There is also a golden Shortfuse.

There are two varieties of Shortfuses: brown ones and red ones. The brown ones just stand in place and shoot spiky balls. However, the red variety can jump and shoot Wario while jumping.

Profiles and statistics

  • Prima Games Official Game Guide:
    • Threat: RedStar.svgRedStar.svgStarOutline.svg
    • Short in stature with a temper to match, Shortfuses like to stand their ground, firing spiky balls at Wario whenever he moves within range. Handle these little goons as you would most others: Stun them with an Earthshake Punch to make them vulnerable, then simply dash them away. You don't need to stun Shortfuses to defeat them, but it's a lot easier that way![1]
