Enemies

Koopa The same old Koopas are back again. Everything seems bleak when these characters appear! If you jump on a Koopa in this game, it pops out of its shell. and what's worse is that an unshelled Koopa will eventually find its empty shell and climb back into it. Beware! If a Koopa climbs into a yellow shell he will become invincible!

Super Koopa A koopa that can fly once it has put on the magic cape. It looks like this guy might give Caped Mario some tough aerial combat. But look at the bright side...if you jump on one that's wearing a flashing cape, you'll get a Cape Feather.

Jumpin Pirahna Plant These are a tropical plant version of the Volcano Plant! Be careful; they come madly whirling out of the pipes and can be very tough.

Goomba Jump on it to make it roll. You can also hold it or throw it.

Monty Mole This is a mole that bursts out of the ground. There's even bigger ones underground.

Boo Buddies and the Big Boo You may remember the Boo Buddies from Super Mario 3. This time there's a whole horde of them! And amongst them there's a huge spook called the Big Boo. But don't worry, if you look at them, they act shy and turn away. Cute aren't they? But watch it...they're dangerous!

Eeries This is a dinosaur spook that roams the haunted house. It comes after you with its pale face and what a ghastly spook it is.

Rip Van Fish This little fellow is always taking a nap, but when Mario comes along, he wakes up, and sets off in hot pursuit. Whatever you do, don't let Rip touch Mario.

Urchin This is a giant urchin drifting at sea. It doesn't move very fast, so if you swim by carefully, there should be no problem.

Rex As one would suspect, you can only meet this kind of enemy in Dinosaur Land, and there are lots of them too. You have to stomp on Rex twice to defeat him. Rex has wing but he can't fly.

Mini Rhino and Dino Rhino These are dragons from Chocolate Island. Jump on Dino Rhino and it becomes a Mini Rhino. Watch out! They breathe fire.

Bobomb These explode and scatter stars for a short time. Some use parachutes to land on the ground.

Thwomp A nasty stone ghost that guards the castles and fortresses for the Koopas. If Mario comes close, Thwomp will try to crush him.

Wiggler a caterpillar that lives in the forest. Normally Wiggler is very quiet, but once jumped on, Wiggler turns red and gets extremely angry. If possible, treat wiggler with respect.

Magikoopa This is one of the tortoise sorcerers. The strange flashes of light that shoot from the wand are able to change blocks into enemies. On top of this Magikoopa can appear and disappear in an instant.

Sumo Brother When this strange little fellow stamps its foot, lightning strikes, turning whatever it hits into a sea of flames. Sumo Brother will also attack with a karate chop.

Chargin Chuck These All-Stars always seem to bar Mario's way when he is close to the goal. They use a variety of bull-headed attacks, so you'll have a tough time checking Chargin Chuck.
