Quick Mario Question

Edrof · 6 Jul 2010 at 18:22

I'm writing something about Mario. Problem is I've never played the games:

What are the main, 'classic' bad guys in the series? I'm not talking about the bosses, I'm talking about the hundreds of baddies that Mario has to kill to get through the levels.

Or are they different in every game?

Thanks!

The clouds and bushes are the same, just different colors.

That's all you need to know

Well I've played it VERY briefly but can't remember it much beyond a lot of jumping. Never been into platformers tbh.

Why are you writing about a game you've not played

Edit: Much. Not played much.

JUST THIS

Other than those mentioned, Thwomp, Bullet Bill, Shy Guy, Bob-omb, Wiggler, Lakitu, Paratroopea, and Piranha Plant are the mains. There are literally 100s of others and variations.

Luigi

The Princess & Toad

That is all!!!

Also depends on which games you are talking about. Mario Bros 2 (which was basically just a copy of an existing game but with mario characters) had completely different enemies which weren't in any of the other games.
