Enemy 	Strategy﻿﻿
Goomba 	This enemy is easy to defeat. Just stomp on him once and he is defeated.
Paragoomba 	This Paragoomba can fly, but still jumps off cliffs. Stomp on him, and he becomes a normal Goomba.
Armored Goomba 	Stomp on this baddie twice, and he is defeated. Fireballs have no use on him. He lives in World 7 and airships.
Tower Armored Goomba 	These act exactly like Armored Goombas, but live in towers.
Goomba Rider 	Launch some fireballs at the Goomba Rider, and it is defeated. If you don't have a Fire Flower, just stomp on the little Goomba on top, then the bottom.
Koopa Troopa 	Stomp on this Koopa, and it will retreat back into its shell. Kick the shell, and it will fly across the stage.
Red Koopa 	The Red Koopa patrols a single area and does not fall off ledges. Other then that, there is no differences then a normal Koopa.
Koopa Paratroopa 	The Paratroopa flys though the skies in an up and down pattern.
Red Paratroopa 	This Paratroopa flys in a left to right pattern.
Dry Bones 	Dry Bones knows no life. He has no life. But he keeps coming back to life. Stomp on this guy, he comes back. Fireball? Not a chance. The only way to destroy him permantly is a Super Star or an Ice Flower. He lives in towers, airships, Bowser's castle, and World 7.
Boo 	The Boo chases you. Look it in the eye, and it stops completly. This coward appears in Ghost Houses along with Dry Bones. Speaking of Dry Bones, here's our next enemy.
Dry Rider 	The Dry Rider appears at Ghost Houses late in the game. A Dry Bones on a Boo. The Boo protects the Dry Bones, but if you look at the Boo or stomp on the Dry Bones, the Dry Bones fall though the Boo.
Armored Boo 	
This Boo isn't afraid of you. He won't stop for anything. You know what that means? RUN!!!
Piranha Plant 	This guy lives in pipes. If you jump on him, it dosn't work. It works on you instead. Somehow however, when you go though the pipe, both come unharmed. Strange, isn't it?
Venus Fire Trap 	Who threw the Fire Flower in the pipe?!
Spike Piranha Plant 	This guy slams his head on you. SLAMS. HIS. HEAD. ON. YOU.
Black Spike Piranha Plant	More spikes. More smashing. More deadly.
Shy Guy 	What lays under his mask? One may never know... Just stomp on this guy once.
Blooper 	
Stupid Blooper. He ALWAYS shoots out of the pipes and kills you! Launch a fireball at him.
Bullet Bill 	It comes from missile launchers and shoots though the skies slowly. Not a problem.
Banzai Bill 	This one's bigger then the Bullet Bill, but still not THAT big...
King Bill 	Er... Yeah... Um... You may wanna run now.
Bob-Omb 	Yes, the Bob-Omb explodes right in your face. Nothing you can do about that. Maybe throw it away...?

Chain Chomp 	Need a ride? Well this guy won't offer one. When he lunges at you, jump out of the way!
Big Bob-Omb 	This guy means business. And business he will get! Launch a fireball at him, then get as far away from him as possible.
Cheep-Cheep 	These pesky fish fly out of the water at you. If your in the water, they are rather passive to you.
Spiny 	These guys hatch from an egg, and run right to you. But you don't want these guys, right? Well do a carefully timed Tail Whip in your Raccoon Suit.

Monty Mole 	
IT'S THE LORAX!!! What? It's not?! Oh, sorry. Just stomp on them when they burst out of the floor.
Monty Gunner 	He shoots Bullet Bills at you! Stomp on this guy, and YOU get to shoot five Bills at enemies!
Hammer Bro. 	The Bros. are back! This one shoots hammers in a high arc. Stand near him, and you'll be safe. I guess it really is true. Keep your friends close. Keep you enemies closer. Let your friends get hit by hammers.
Boomerang Bro. 	This Bro. shoots boomerangs, so the old tactic won't work. Instead, have the high ground, then jump on him.
Fire Bro. 	Hammer Bro. with a Fire Flower. Simple as that.
Sledge Bro. 	When he jumps and lands, it moves the ground! Jump when he lands. Land when he jumps. Stomp when you can.

Whomp 	These guys fall over you. I'm serious. They fall over on you.
Virus 	Never expected to see these guys in a game! Just stomp on them.
Thwomp 	The Thwomp resides in towers and Bowser's castle. They drop down on you, and those spikes don't help you. Secretly, the REAL reason they drop down is because one of the spikes on them has an itch.
Sniffle Thwomp 	These guys won't fall on you. Instead, their dripping nose does the job for them, making any surface they hit
