An Unnecessary List of Enemies in Super Mario Bros Wonder

[@TheMentok]

Happy New Year! Thank you for all your support this year. See you in 2024

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Ok not being able to show Goombas biting in their debut is obvious, but for them to take until 2023 to say "ok NOW we've achieved the tech!" Is kinda funny

[@TheMentok]

That is funny 😂 I think it would make more sense if they said "we didn't really think to add that until now"

[@Mysterynovus]

Shed a tear for all the Goombas sacrificed in the pursuit of knowledge.

[@TheMentok]

Goombas were harmed during the making of this video

[@SuperBeastlyMario]

I had an idea to call the Firework Bob-ombs Ooh-ombs or Ooh-aah's or something silly like that. But someone gave me an even better idea. Pop-omb, since they're like little poppers.

[@_V.Va_]

Bob-BOOM.

[@SuperBeastlyMario]

@@Envy_but_humorous their official name is Baboom now I believe

[@Envy_but_humorous]

@@SuperBeastlyMario Oh thanks for telling me

[@rouxls_kaard1]

They are confirmed to be 'babooms' from a japanese website, which has a english transalation for them

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

_"Remember, if you don't watch the Super Mario Bros Supershow, you're gonna turn into a Goomba!"_ Mario does turn into a Goomba in SMB Wonder. Well, well, well, how the turntables.

[@TheMentok]

Mario doesn’t watch his own show. Sad!

[@justinthewarrior9165]

The enemies in this game are really unique and really fun. I hope I see more of them in future mario games Impossibly A Mario movie sequel.

[@TheMentok]

Yeah as much as I love the normal enemies (Goombas, Koopas etc) they were cooking with some of these new ones. So hopefully they build on what they made here

[@ToastyArmadio]

The blewbird having a nearly identical back to yoshi, as well as similar shoes, and the fact that dinosaurs are very closely related to birds make me think that yoshis and blewbirds might genuinely have been meant to be related

[@BrankoVT]

I love that you include the names of the enemies in other languages!

[@yeetlejuice7181]

awesome vid i love the sheer variety of enemies in super mario wonder, even ones that are technically "redundant" like the armadillos/snails/sea turtles. sure maybe it's not groundbreaking that we have a few enemies that are fairly similar to koopas in function, but it does WONDERS for the environment and worldbuilding because it really *feels* like you're in these locations, the enemies you're facing are just part of the wildlife and thus fit the environment

[@SouljaBoyStrife]

The Dark Koopa Troopas are actually an enemy from Paper Mario with the same name. They even wear sunglasses in that game, so it’s cool we ALMOST got a Paper Mario exclusive enemy in a mainline game

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

King Goomboss was in SM64 DS, if that counts

[@dasirrlicht5415]

Tausendschlänger is also a tripplepun. Tausenfüßler is the german word for Centepide. So it hits the bugs. Schlange is for Snake, obviously. Schlänger is very simelar to Schläger, aka, a ruffian, someone who punches around.

[@TheMentok]

Thanks for this! Makes a ton of sense, especially with the ruffian part. The wiki missed all these details.

[@Carter-k7j]

Damn,really got give to the Germans and their wordplay

[@alfiehicks1]

Takebo _are_ related to Goombas - the suffix -bo does mean 'boy', but it also follows the same format of the Japanese name for Goomba: Kuribo (Chestnut Boy) I'm willing to bet that if we ever get an official English name for them, it's 100% going to be "Bamboomba" - it's so perfect.

[@TheMentok]

Yeah, I gave them a quick mention again during the Rrrumba segment. It makes sense since they stack like Goombas too. Hoping we get an official English guide/art book or something to square away all these new names!

[@thelonleygengar]

Outtamyways being Ninji goombas are so cool I love them

[@biondigiacomo7176]

The way you pronounced "Biceratopo" made my day. Belive me that explaining how it is pronounced is not easy at all

[@TheMentok]

Now that I'm consulting Google translate, should it have been (for lack of better spelling) "Bicch-era-tohpo"? 😂

[@biondigiacomo7176]

@@TheMentok yes, but watch out for how you pronounce "topo", from a part of a bull-like creature's name to "mouse" in Italian it's nothing

[@galaxycamerata]

I think I would name the firework Bob-Omb "Brob-omb". It looks exactly like I just stuck an R in there, but I specifically chose it based after Brocade fireworks, which the enemy itself has a similar pattern to. A slow ascent that lingers in the air, then explodes into thinner, sparkling branches that shimmer in the sky for a moment. The Join Killers meanwhile, would be "Cluster Carl", since they're multiple explosives bundled together.

[@siamozer0]

I’ve always wondered what the new firework enemies were called. If I had to give them a name, probably pop-up

[@TheMentok]

I'm surprised it never got an English name up to this point. But it's cool to see all the suggestions people have come up with in the comments.

[@purplepango8866]

I named it a Firecracker

19:39 THAT PERFECT CUT

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Great list of interesting enemies! I especially love how you got into the names and their meanings. Happy New Year Man!

[@mysticdigital5936]

I really liked all fhe new varieties of enemies. It feels like aside from Mario Maker we hadn't gotten a lot of new 2D Mario enemies in so long! Personally I like the Blewbirds and Maw-Maws. And Missile Megs are great because they remind me of Torpedo Ted. I also love the Firework Bob-bombs.

[@TheMentok]

Maw-Maws are a really cool idea (and they're kinda cute too). The way they run at you reminds me of the Chargin' Chucks when they first popped up in Super Mario World

[@UltimateRex95]

This game got an unbelievable amount of new enemies wish the sams could’ve gone for the bosses tho😔

[@plihal203]

Oshidashi is also one of the finishing techniques in Sumo, which consists of pushing your opponent out of the ring without a belt grip

Very interesting. I don't even have time for video games most days, but I'd watch some gameplay of this Mario game.

[@TheMentok]

It’s what I’m here for

[@pozzumgee]

Excellent vid. Keep up the good work and have a happy new year!

[@TheMentok]

Happy New Year to you. Thanks for taking the time to watch my content!

[@CassiusStelar]

I would personally localize the Uminoko as Aqua-Koopa or Aquabeetle Commented the above before you actually *asked* for Hanabihei's potential localization, the same day i came up with Aquabeetle, i also named those guys Bub-lasts

[@TheMentok]

I like Aqua-Koopa. Wondering if we're getting an official English guide here with all the updated names. I'll have to make an update to this video if we do

[@michaelcheng9987]

For the firework enemy, how about bambob-omb? It's based on Bob-omb, subtly references the similarly-stacked bamboo-like takebo, and combining them turns it into "exploding bamboo", referencing early fireworks and firecrackers made with bamboo. Plus, it has 3 syllables all resembling exploding onomatopeia, like how it explodes 3 times.

[@EarthboundBenjy]

you mentioned konpeito, the Star Bit-shaped candy - but konpeito has actually been in Mario even before Super Mario Galaxy - because the "Rock Candy" from Super Mario RPG is called "Konpeito" in Japanese.

[@LeoX2]

Ngl, the 'So many creepy-crawlies...😰' voiceline is the best in this game. It's just the flower's uttermost fright of these very much not dangerous snails and the naming 'creepy-crawlies' plus the delivery via the voice that gets me rolling everytime. For reference: 4:01

[@supermaximglitchy1]

I always used to think mario was allergic to the sides of a goomba

[@raincloud6414]

The firework enemy should be called something like "popop" or "poe-pop" because fireworks pop and the enemy resembles a bob-omb so it should have a similar name. Also, bloomps being related to bullet bills is hilarious and I love it.

[@alexandnathantheawesomecat]

Hey bro nice video. I thought goombas were a poison mushroom lol. I was in the live stream chat

[@MicroglialCell]

Great video! One thing I will mention is the goofy red and green snail, which may have actually came from Lep’s World.

[@BobzBlue]

The first Galaxy game had shadow mario races, Galaxy 2 and 3d land had cosmic clones which practically behave the same as dark mario.

[@antonissa8345]

I hope you do "Return To Krokodile Isle" soon. It's a really good video and I know how much you love K. Rool. I would love to see a breakdown made by you with your unique flare

[@thelonleygengar]

Mushroom Forrest background music spotted best music ever

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

Gnashers could be a type of Chomp, like Chain or Flame Chomps, but it's also possible that they're related to some critters from the Beanbean Kingdom, judging from their big grin. And since both the Beanbean and Flower Kingdoms border the Mushroom Kingdom, it's not unlikely they could have traveled the distance

[@corvidalexander3618]

Mario Wonder is such a beautiful and adorable game. I would unironically play it. I grew up playing the original 2 player Mario with my mom's cousin. Then I got NEW Super Mario Bros (Wii) for my 7th or 8th birthday and I ATE IT UP. I was so bad at it but it was one of my favorite things to play. I wish I could still play it but most OG Wiis don't work and playing it on an emulator just wouldn't be the same

[@felman87]

5:05 Pakkun. If you're thinking that sounds similar to PacMan, that's because they're both based on the Pakkuncho. Yeah, Pacman is essentially "Eating in One Bite Man". Which explains what he does, scarf things down in a single bite.

[@AnaatthiGozo]

I'm very happy with all of the new enemies. Wonder shows that there's still imagination left in 2D mario.

[@dynamotoon]

I think Bob-Booms would be a sick af name for the firework enemies

12:27 Crackle-Ombs

[@sebasllaura7254]

Here’s a list of all the unlocalized enemies and the names I came up for them (except for one) Erin: Topple Tot (It topples over when you kill it) Snail: Gascargo (Gastropod + Escargot) Shiumiu/Chin Anago: Sea Cucumburr (They look like sea cucumbers and have spikes, AKA burrs) Suppoko/Uminoko: Naval Troopa (Pun on naval trooper and Koopa Troopa) Houhou: Hoot Swoop (Hoot, the sound owls make, and swoop, the enemy’s behavior, also rhymes with Froot Loops) Hakandoru: Zuckerbird (It’s a bird with a sucker foot, and also is a little reference to Mark Zuckerberg) Lakitu trio: Lakitriad (A triad team of Lakitus) Jump Toge: Krzzap (Onomatopoeia for getting shocked) Hanabihei: Whiz-bang (Sound made by fireworks, structured similarly to the Bob-omb’s name) Takebo: Bamboozo (From bamboo, the enemy’s appearance, and bozo) Dark Mario: Unchanged Tsubochan: Pothead (Thanks to TheMentok for coming up with the name) Moving Door: Deadly Door (Alliteration) Dark Nokonoko: Dark Koopa Troopa (Literally the same) Slidon: Unchanged Fire Spike: Scorch Spike (Keeping the trend set by Snow Spike and Stone Spike using alliterative names based on their projectiles) Morocon: Hopcorn (Get it? It’s a pun on hop and popcorn) Meramera: Ignitor (Fire ignites things) Rumble: Magma Bubble (Related to the Lava Bubble) Mecha Koopa Mk II: Copta Mechakoopa (It’s a Mechakoopa with a helicopter propeller for feet, also formatted like the Blasta and Zappa Mechakoopas) Join Killer: Cluster Cal (Keeping the trend of an alliterative name based on the type of projectile and a three-letter given name set by the Bullet Bill, Torpedo Ted, and Missile Meg) Note Piranha Plant: Blazin’ Beat Piranha (Referencing Bowser’s Blazing Beats)

[@Syntax_Error15]

Happy new year Mentok! Personally, if I had the choice to name those firework bombs I think I would just straight up steal Rocket Ricky from Russia’s dub lol.

[@goober4347]

Join Killer (the segmented bulls-eye bill), i think should be called Dragon Drew. Alliteration, common names, and leaning in to what it looks like.

[@ChristmasPterodactyl]

12:26 I'd name it Ramone Candle. This combines the name of 'roman candle' fireworks that launch tiny fireballs at regular intervals with the name Ramone in the same way that Bob-omb mixes the name Bob with the word Bomb.

[@DanteCrowlley]

I hope they expand the lore

[@LeOwwAgain]

14:30 omg I always wanted to figure out the name for these candies

[@felman87]

Speaking of Goombas biting, that's what they do to you in Super Mario RPG. And we didn't have to wait to 2023 because the original RPG on the SNES had them biting you.

[@RemyGames213]

I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS HELP 5:30

[@gracekim1998]

Ooo fun happy new year 😊 this helps a lot since I have no plans to get this game 😅 I’m content with my two-in one Mario game for now

[@TheMentok]

I’d say wait for a sale but Nintendo rarely drops their prices 😂

[@nicholassims9837]

heres a video idea the many references to Super Mario in other media

[@slurpythedogsdump681]

Kinda sucks that, months after the game released, Nintendo still hasn't given official names to like half of the enemies

[@TheMentok]

Agreed. Nintendo of America is slacking on this. Since instructions booklets are a thing of the past, there's less pressure on them to name them. 😂 Hoping for a full guide or behind the scenes book in English that squares all this away.

[@Chadmiral]

I only knew what Mera Mera meant thanks to One Piece lol

[@najadamu2724]

I just noticed how often Bowser is associated with rock music. It's all the more fitting that Jack Black voiced him in the most recent Mario movie.

[@solonsaturngaming3727]

the Firework bomb-ombs reminds me of the Blocks from R.O.B's add-on called well Blocks lmao

[@foldup1919]

“BULrush seems like a crossover of a dinosaur and bison”

[@dabluepittoo-aqua4213]

When playing Wonder for the first time seeing the Missile Meg name made me laugh hard.

[@wildheartrazorfang6]

I know I'm very late to this, but I think a cool name for the Firework enemies could be something along the lines of "Fi-yai-yars" So like the progression from Bob-omb because they shoot three times

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

I think the Softshell Seakoopa thing is as much as a Koopa as a Spiny or Buzzy Beetle is. They share some traits but are on all fours, so they're like less evolved. Koopas, Magikoopas, Hammer Bros of all types, Chucks, Lakitus etc are more closely related and probably more intelligent, akin to humans. Maybe some are even the same species, as Hammer Bros and Magikoopas could just be professions that a Koopa can have. Then there's Bowser, the Koopalings and the Boom Booms, the ruling class. They're either extraordinarily strong mutants or evolved to be leaders like an Ant Queen or sth, idk

[@frougger1334]

I don’t know if anyone else has commented something like this or if the family that Gnawshers belong to has been officially confirmed yet, but I assume them to be a relative of the Muncher. They kinda look like Muncher heads, or they might be a Muncher seed that didn’t meet the ground? Just a theory. This video has been out for a while, so this might be a bit late, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on them.

[@duncathan_salt]

Hanabi-hei could be Firework Fred. Would fit right in alongside Bullet Bill, Torpedo Ted, and Bob-Omb with the alliterative names.

[@That1person810]

shovas really be pushin them 🅿ipes

[@Wailerman]

Pokipede may also be related to Pokeys, even being a sort of link between the two species

[@paulfritz3552]

"Ka-rackle" for the new fireworks Bob-omb. Because fireworks crackle. Or maybe "Pop-ombs"? Because their bombs pop up.

[@fuecocart]

I'm helping a friend with a mario based pokemon region, and this is helping me a lot

With all of these SFX references, I wonder if you're going to do a Toejam & Earl video?

[@barrybulletkin901]

Personally id call the fire work dudes Fran-kracker

[@BobzBlue]

Bob-works Bob-ursts (no relation)

[@flamefangstar]

Poppy or Flambo? In a sort of hey, they'll be a partner. Hopefully, they won't attack something three times trying to open a path for you or anything!

[@flamefangstar]

Also rocket Ricky is my favorite.

[@macaroni3062]

Hanabihei's english name will probably be either Popp-ow or Krac-kow to tie it in with the Bob-omb family, and i'd be pretty happy with either!

[@EssenceofSassy]

The watermelon piranha plants remind me of the watermelons we get in Yoshi games.

Chorochu is such cute name though. Choro can refer to dashing about to and fro.

[@dricee8]

“Born suffering”..aww, they do look miserable. 😂

[@jazzimel]

If birds and dinosaurs are distant relatives, the dart birds may very well be distant relatives of Yoshi, both having koops like shells on their backs... Js...

[@silkmoth7951]

Actually the pot snail enemies reminded me of the snakes from Mario 2 I'm Pretty sure some of them were pot themed too

[@Perfect-cell3]

As a snoodle fan I did indeed yell "no way, I can't believe this"

[@Tyranitar.]

I would name it Pot-op. Pop-Top, maybe. It’s top pops and then the fireworks go pop. It works.

[@Shrewdilus]

I think the Revver’s “leash” is supposed to be a pull cord. Like those cat toys that look like mice.

[@nofyx_pun-nishment]

Fun fact: In Mario galaxy 2, there is a variant of Cosmic Mario that isn't for racing and there were always more then one

they called the segmented bill the "join killer"? "misslepede" was right there!

tsubochan reminds me of a noko, a small but rare snake dude who does nothing but be useless and get drunk, they are the embodiment of something rare thats not worth the effort

[@Mast3rOfBanana]

The German word for snake is "Schlange". The enemy's name contains "schlängeln" which is a verb meaning something along the lines of "to meander" or "to wiggle".

I miss the cast list style ending like they had in Super Mario World, would be so great in Wonder.

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

Walking Piranha Plants don't seem that new since SMB3 and New Soup Wii had variations of the idea, although this time it's much more straightforward and it's the first time the walking Piranhas have leaves

[@Wundarrphul]

Wonder definitely isn’t the first game where Piranha Plants climb out of pipes they did the same thing and more in SMB3 on a lot of ice levels

[@koopliss]

Small correction: Slidons are not also the english name, Slidons are still unlocalized.

[@Carter-k7j]

Is it just me,or is it weird the other Koopalings didn't appear in the game? I mean,the game has a small music theme going,and the Koopalings are literally named after musicians,I mean,it practically writes itself.
