Secret Enemies in Every Mario Game

Hey everyone welcome to todays video where I decided to go through each of the most secret enemies in the Super Mario Bros franchise, which is actually a bit of a weird idea as there are several interesting ones that fit within this category. I really hope you do enjoy this video, and in the future Im going to be making tons of Super Mario Bros Wonder content so if youre interested in seeing that then please, like, comment, subscribe and hit that bell!

[@Gota0014]

I would say Torpedo Ted is a pretty secret enemy in Super Mario World considering it only appears in 1 level gotten to by getting the hardest secret exit in the game

[@ColbyHurricane]

The Bullet Bills being changed to Pidgit Bills was also missed here from SMW.

[@ZachAdams926]

I like both of these

[@Type_Usernamehere]

Finally, someone who knows Torpedo Ted.

[@ShamanJeeves]

Soda Lake was such a tough stage for me as a child. Torpedo Ted lives rent-free in my head.

[@nugboy420]

@@ShamanJeeves HE DONT PAY!!

[@Itsaluigi123]

I think most of these could be classified as “Rare” enemies instead of “Secret”, since most of them are still on the main path

[@bardinblue9830]

5:35 - Upon completing the Special Worlds in Super Mario World, there are other enemy changes too! Pidgit makes a return from Super Mario 2, replacing the Bullet Bills, for example.

[@a.liguria2698]

It should also be noted that in the Mario vs Luigi mode of New Super Mario Bros DS there are Blue Koopa Troopas that drop the blue shell power up upon being defeated.

[@jesusmijares8614]

I don't know how, but when i was a Little kid, i somehow managed to play a mod of the game, where there was blue paratroopas, and when i played the normal game older, i was confused to why it didn apeared. And then i solved the unknown.

[@TheJamesKz]

I feel like a more accurate title for this video would be "Most Obscure Enemies in Every Mario Game", because there was quite a few times you even said, "this isn't really a secret", and most of the enemies you mentioned from EVERY game, are just enemies you come across. As where a secret implies that you have to go out of your way to look for something you're not normally going to see. I'd say that in watching this, the only enemy that counts as a secret for me, is the big Boo boss in Super Mario World. You mention Nabbit's first game appearance as a "secret enemy", then follow it up by saying that Nabbit is an enemy that steals items and you have to go retrieve them from him. Not much of a secret. With all that being said though, this video was super fun and I can't wait to watch more!

[@thea-squad2651]

Agree

[@ForceGamerrr]

Yeah. Was disappointed because that’s what I expected. Otherwise good video

[@wumpis]

I’m half surprised you didn’t call the 3DS the “Three Dimensional Duel Screen System”

[@gymleaderfern]

not a single secret enemy in the whole video

[@bardinblue9830]

One other enemy that's kind of rare: In Super Mario RPG for the SNES... I think it's the pipe area that leads to Yoshi's Island, a Shy Ranger will sometimes appear in a battle and immediately run away unless or until Mario & party are high enough level to prevent its escape.

[@mippymagic8317]

Quick correction for Mario Galaxy 2: The tracks actually appear in quite a few stages, including "First Steps", "Gusty Garden", and a few others. And the level you said they only appear in is actually from Mario Galaxy, I believe. I'm sorry if this seems a little picky, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Mario Galaxy is my favorite game by a ton, and I know it like the back of my hand.

[@konuralpyldzkan1495]

piano in sm64 is more secret since wallets disguised as coins look still interactive, so you try to reach them. on the other hand piano is disguised as just a background object

[@one_grain_o_sand]

how in any way could nabbit be perceived as secret?

[@bobsterjnr4850]

Yes

[@TKnHappyNess]

I would've said the Yellow Paratroopas for Super Mario World because only two of them appear and they're both in the special world. First one is in Awesome, second one is in Funky

[@YourMomz07]

For SMB1, at least at the time (the booklet hinted at it), I know I was surprised when you defeated the first seven “bowsers” at they were enemies in disguise. If you went through the whole game getting the ax, you’d never know. Also in SMB3, I feel like fire bros are pretty secret. They only appear off the path in desert land and in one of the potentially skippable hand stages

[@Whimsykit]

fun fact, the enemies in disguise was actually a glitch

[@nicholasharvey1232]

We could call those SML2 ghost Goomba enemies "Boombas". Also someone should make a SMB2 romhack that uses the Red Snifit to its full potential.

[@Ultragay_bacon]

How enemy encounters work in nsmbwii is that there are 3 different ones and they appear depending on which you beat last Enemy 1 goes to enemy 2 2 goes to 3 And 3 is where it stays

[@professahx661]

Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars - Culex secret boss. You have to do a long trade quest line which involves a lot of coins and progression of the story which gives you a special item that unlocks a door near the end of the game. This boss is harder than most of the rest of the bosses in the game. This video was fun, but missing a LOT of actual secret bosses in other mario games.

[@jackhumphries1087]

The red snifit is a part of the game, snifits and shy guys have different behaviour depending on their Color, grey ones stand In place, only snifits have a grey variant, the pink ones move back and forth, turning around when they reach ledges, the red ones move back and forth, these ones will walk off ledges, unlike the pink ones, they only turn around when they hit a wall.

[@calliecalamity8787]

Yea exactly, it's not a bug. It's a different colour to indicate it acts differently, like green and red koopas. I think the enemy is supposed to be weird/rare because only one shows up in the game. Or not many do.

[@antoniopriego5660]

I'd say the vampire from Mario Land is pretty secret. I haven't played the game but if I remember correctly there was just one of them and in a hidden are, didn't he?

[@Rohrak]

And also the fists in the pipes at the end of the last level, just before the final boss's room

[@ConceptualQuanta]

Another rare one worth a mention: Mario 3, Level 5-3 - Kuribo's Shoe and the Goombas wearing it are a notable entry, particularly since you get a unique power-up that only lasts in the level.

[@HungryWarden]

What about the Flame Chomp in NSMBU? It only appears once in one of the levels of Peach’s Castle. I think it was in an area that you get to by climbing a vine.

[@jesusmijares8614]

I was gonna Say it, that could also apply to the ones un NSMBDS Also (but in the Main path) the Fire Bros, Sledge Bros and Boomerang Bros, appearing only in 8-7. The sharks of 1-A in NSMBDS are a Lot, but they are only in that level. In Super Mario 64 theres only 1 condor, as well as 2 koopas, 1 giant fish(I think) (I dont remember the name (from tiny huge island)), the cloud of the second slide level, 1 mantaray, 1 shark, and others, but I may be wrong.

[@simm442010]

Super Mario 3 fire bros are pretty secret. They only show up in 2 areas in the whole game and you could skip both areas they how up.

[@thomaslight3457]

Three that I was hoping to see: 1. The little vampire from the Pumpkin Zone in Mario Land 2, and only If you take the top route to ring the bell in the one level he shows up in. 2. The Fire Bros in Mario 3. Unless you go for the 3rd warp whistle in World 2, the only time you'll see one (and I do mean ONE) is the first bridge stage of World 8. Even then, there's a chance you might never get pulled into the stage. 3. Torpedo Ted in Soda Lake in Super Mario World. Good luck getting to his level, though, as it involves getting one of the trickiest secret exits in the game on the Butter Bridge.

[@AgentCraftwork]

You're giving me massive bouts of nostalgia talking about 6 golden coins and Bowser's inside story. I need to get a couple emulators on my pc

[@Scott89878]

Alright, you aren't being thorough. Super Mario Bros three also had only 3 fire bros in it. The nipper plant that shoots fireballs is designed for players with the hammer bros suit, whom can duck and shield themselves from it. SMW there are THREE enemies that change, not TWO. The bullet bills become Pidgets. Not to mention, Pidget only comes up like 3-4 times in SMB2. Also, you never include Yoshi's Island, which Miyamoto and others have said they considered it part of the mainline Mario series. It's like literally Super Mario Bros 5 and was included in the Super Mario Bros Advance series. I often turn off your videos after like Mario 64 because I am a 1982 kid and while I played the sh!t out of the older games, I spent much less time on Mario Sunshine, Galaxy, any of the NSMB games, etc. I always click your videos, as they are fun to watch, but man oh man, the inner Zillenial in you is showing. Especially when you say things from the older games are hard.

[@thea-squad2651]

Bro, is spitting facts 😎 Someone been checking in their Mario facts in the Mario Wiki

[@justinthewarrior9165]

I actually taste no, there was secret enemies. What does feel like they were secret enemies. But showing me in this video is interesting

[@DRAGON-rf1jp]

You forgot that the Coin enemies are actually invisible in some of the SM3DL levels, namely W4 stage 1, where they hide in bushes!!!

[@The._.980]

Also the fire bros from smb3 are kind of secret since they appear on a hidden part of world 2 and also appear in one of the stages you enter by getting randomly grabbed by a hand in world 8.

[@Luchin-san]

Hmm... when I saw the Jack in the box from Mario Land 2 and you said that they would scare us, it made me think of enemies that gave us a scare, like the piano from Mario 64. Maybe this could be a pretty topic for a halloween video, if you haven't made that yet c:

[@pretzelstick12]

In SMBL2 don't forget about Dracula in the pumpkin zone. He is at the end of the first area through the upper route to the goal.

[@Oof17821]

The snailcorns were made to reference the next generation of new super Mario bros: super Mario wonder because in the trailers there’s enemies that are like koopas but snails

[@SwerveStarEx]

A lot of these are the same as in your "Rare Enemies" video. Still fun to hear stuff like this talked about, but still.

[@SullySadface]

Did this dude just call Nippers "Walking Piranha Plants"

[@user-om6eb3cz8k]

In Super Mario World there is a third enemy that change apperance after you complete Special World. Bullet Bills become the bird like Pidgit Bill. I would also say that Torpedo Ted from Super Mario World is a very rare enemy,

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

Great video I have not herd of tamoa tamoo idk the big lava bubble and BIG BOO IS ICONIC and waluigi is in Mario world

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

Mr krabbys loves the money bag and why is Mario sun shin called it’s levels episodes

[@minisniper]

7:56 WAIT! THATS WHAT DS (Dual Screen) STANDS FOR?! I never thought of it until now

[@homareyoshi4194]

9:37 they can also show up in 8-2

[@Lar_me]

The exploding butterflies from Super Mario 64 should've been given a mention. I even had to double-check to make sure they were a real thing before writing this comment, just in case it was something I imagined 🤣

[@michaelrodriguez2981]

Actually the buzzy beetle isn't a secret enemy in Super Mario Bros because once you get world 8-1 they appear and once you beat the game once they appear plus they replace goombas

[@itsyahomiescott3742]

You can also ground pound Coin Coughers in the later games to make spew all their coins out at once!

[@un1xify]

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, there is a mini game akin to the mini game at 3:33. When you hit the enemies from below, if you wait a couple of seconds, the enemies will change color and become faster. I believe each enemy does this. Not sure if this counts.

[@klkn035]

Cool video

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

KZbin?

[@timmarks976]

The money bag thing in Galaxy2 also appears in the original

[@dangeiger9796]

You should do most unique feature of every Mario game like FLUDD in Super Mario Sunshine or dirt digging in Super Mario Bros 2

[@shadow-squid4872]

The Coin Coughers will also drop all of their coins at once if you ground-pound them

[@RoninCatholic]

I'm pretty sure the Red Snifit simply wasn't _intended_ to be unique, and when programming it they planned (as they did with Shy Guys) for the multiple color-coded behavior variants to all be commonplace.

[@thebigbrain2494]

10:34 they actually appear in more than one galaxy. one can be found at Good Egg Galaxy: Dino Piranha for example

[@jasonscrazyshows8598]

played new super mario bros alot when younger, saw the mega goombas like 4 times i think but i never spent much time in that area of world one before defeating it

[@user-yy4in4kj3g]

The bullet bills in Mario world turn into crows once you complete the special world

[@ViewerOnline101]

You left out Shy Ranger from Mario RPG and Amazee Dayzee in the Paper Mario series. Also, I don't know if you can count this one, but the green Thwomp in Mario Kart 64.

[@Linguini_boi]

In new super Mario bros Wii, the giant goombas would pop up if you kept losing live and had to go back or if you kept failing the mini-game aswell 9:50

[@jronmanplays]

What about the Paper Mario and the Mario and Luigi games. Those had some unique rare characters for sure.

[@eb2k445]

I’m disappointed that you didn’t include the walrus guy from NSMBU

[@HEYDJ730]

@copycat I believe at the 7:33 mark, you meant to say "100 COIN shine sprite..." Thanks for your awesome content!

[@Jamesworld645]

In super mario land there is a block enemy that looks like a block with eyes and a raccoon tail. It blends in with normal blocks if you get close it hops out at you.

[@waluigi3459]

4:23 no love for torpedo ted??

[@kayleekaboom8145]

I straight up thought the coin purse thing was a frog

[@kylekraus6722]

Tracks appear in Gusty Garden Galaxy too.

[@anthonyfarshaw8619]

15:48 - Have you ever played "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword"? Watch out for the Remlits at night.

[@Unagam1GD]

10:34 they actually show up in several more galaxies. I have come across maybe 3 or 4 galaxies with the tracks (in the first galaxy game at least)

[@andrewszanto9347]

I saw the white goomba on the thumbnail and immediately named it coomba

[@ScumbagPine]

Im pretty sure Sunshine doesnt have 100 coin shines

[@fatllamalord]

It does, you don't need them to beat the game but if you want to 100% the game there's a 100 coin shine in each world

[@mattb6522]

What about Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island? I would say the Chain Chomp in 5-4 Sluggy the Unshaven's Fort. It is the only Chomp chained to a post in the game and it also reveals another secret if you destroy it.

[@nicholasharvey1232]

The original YI had a LOT of rare enemies. For starters, Pyro-Dangle, the fireball enemy that goes around platforms (similar to SMB2's Sparks) in a single optional room in 1-4, Burt the Bashful's Fort. That's just the beginning. Tons of enemies in this game show up in only one stage, maybe two, with 3-8 and 5-4 in particular having multiple one-on- enemies (including the aforementioned Chain Chomp)

[@nicholasharvey1232]

Oops I meant one-off enemies. Another biggie in YI is Grim Leecher. It's only encountered in one of the Extra stages, which requires you to get 100% on every stage in World 4 to unlock. There are only two of them in the level, IIRC. The level also contains one of the game's only two appearances of the rare Fishbone-like enemy called Jean de Fillet.

[@captainphoton1693]

In super mario bros wii. The enemies encounter get harder and harder every time you it. Idk when it reset. But the hefty goobas show up the second time after defeating the 8 regulars.

[@jackb3555]

In NSMB on the ds there's a koopas troopa that always drops a blue shell powerup upon defeat in the vs mode. To my knowledge it's only ever appeared there

[@Scott89878]

Red Snifit is in the instructions manual. It's supposed to exist. It's just that they failed to ever use it more than once in the game.

[@colouringandreviewing]

yes

[@deniselavelle1142]

Awsome vid

[@mlgbrogaming7719]

Fun fact: the name of the crab is Side Stepper.

[@MattheBrawler]

I think the word you were looking for was "obscure" and not "secret."

[@The._.980]

Also the walking pirahna plants from smb3.

[@manic00x]

I was todays years old when I found out the Nintendo DS was Nintendo Dual Screen

[@masonhhoffman]

Fliprus from Mario U was right there and you still chose Nabbit

[@jacobvanantwerp2001]

The Giant Goombas show up again in World 8-2. I came across them there, so you might wanna look there.

[@Dashiell777]

There's actually a secret enemy in new Super Mario Brothers 2 That's Not Gold it's known as a tiny sea urchin looking thing I don't know what they're called but you know there's big ones in regular sized ones but that game has really tiny ones that I think only appear in one

[@kenlykkeslett7501]

I would add Mickey Mouse from Super Mario World. Now that's a weird one!

[@PrideEepy64]

There are a few enemies don’t appear in alot of games Tox Box (Super Mario 64) Wallop (Super Mario 3D Land) Rex (Super Mario World) Snailcorn (New Super Mario Bros DS) Sandmaargh (Super Mario 3D Land) Kab-Omb (New Super Mario Bros DS) Draglet (Super Mario 3D Land) Spike Bass (New Super Mario Bros DS) I could go on and on but there’s some names I can’t remember or know

[@jln276]
