.....










I had to cut so many Mario enemies out. Sorry, Buzzy Beetle and Blooper fans. Anyway, I started thinking about this when I wondered what the most recently-created major Mario basic enemy is.

Piranha Plant. His neutral B is too fun.

I think I gotta give it to the koopa troopa line of enemies. They combine the lack of difficulty of a goomba with the generation of a useful tool for a number of advanced game mechanics. They can even be color coded for further mechanics enhancing potential. At least one of them really likes to race.

Without them and their shells, mario games would be fundamentally different.

You never forget your first. Good ol' Goomba. It feels kinda disingenuous to lump all of the turtle-shaped enemies together, they all provide different challenges, especially magikoopa.

Shy Guy da best guy.

But Koopa is the objectively correct answer.

I knew cheap cheaps would get zero votes, and that I shouldn't have included them.

Surprised Bob-ombs didn't make the cut. Were they only introduced starting in SM64?

Never played the NES and SNES games much

Anagram has to leave off an obvious choice in favor of one that will get zero votes.

The only zero remaining is cheep-cheep, which isn't a ridiculous inclusion. I doubt anyone will come along and vote for it other than to be a contrarian, but nobody's going to be happy with ten poll options here.

Also, as a Mario Kart 64 aficionado, I freaking hate Thwomps. Bowser Castle is the most obnoxious level in the game. I'm not a big fan of Bob-ombs, either.

Lakitu is one of the most annoying enemies, especially in Mario 1.

Eh, there's nothing particularly charming or novel about Cheep-Cheeps. They're just fish. They don't have any real presence in the Mario RPGs either, which is how you could come to enjoy Goombas or Bob-ombs.

Lots of quality options here.

Shy Guy > Koopa > Boo > Plant > (Blooper) > Chomp > (Whomp) > (Bob-omb) > (Thwomp) > Goomba > Bro > Bullet > Cheep > (Pokey) > (Wiggler) > (Monty) > Lakitu > (Beetle)

I adore Shy Guy through Chain Chomp and I don't care for anything below Bullet Bill.

I actually would have included Bob-omb over many of the things I did include. That and Thwomp are my only regrets.

Plenty of good options here, but mario just wouldn't be the same without kicking koopa shells around

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
