Super Metal Hippoe

:For the stage of the same name, see Super Metal Hippoe (Expert).
Super Metal Hippoe (超メタルカバちゃん, Chō Metaru Kaba-chan, Super Metal Hippo-chan) is a Metal enemy that appears in The Aku Realms and Legend Stages.
==Enemy==
Super Metal Hippoe is a larger, stronger and faster version of Metal Hippoe. With his guaranteed knockback ability, quick movement speed, and high health, he can be a very annoying enemy to fight.
This Metal enemy, unlike Sir Metal Seal, tends to appear in non-Metal stages like Saucy Scandals or Oil Spill Rainbow. Super Metal Hippoe also tends to appear in groups of two or three in some stages, such as Total Myopia and March to Death.
==Strategy==
It is important to note that like all other Metal enemies, Super Metal Hippoe takes only one damage from any attack, unless it is a Critical Hit. Combined with his very high health, Critical Hitters are almost mandatory to properly fight him.
Space Cat is a great choice for beginners as he outranges Super Metal Hippoe, allowing him to be stacked to increase the chance of a Critical Hit. Soba can also be used with care to deal heavy damage or one shot Super Metal Hippoe at higher levels. Likewise, nearly any Uber Rare or Legend Rare with Criticals has potential to be extremely effective against him, with Berserker Cat, Hayabusa and Kyosaka Nanaho being some of the most reliable options overall.
	
Since Super Metal Hippoe relies on knockback, the likes of Primordial Cat are not as effective. Notably, a talented Riceball Cat can absorb several hits and prevent Super Metal Hippoe from pushing, thanks to his knockback immunity.

==Trivia==
*He was originally exclusive to Siege of Hippoe!, making him the first event enemy to become a regular enemy.
*A Trojan virus is malware that makes its way onto victims' computers by disguising itself as a real program.
*Super Metal Hippoe, Firecracker and Metafilibuster are the only enemy units whose knockback animations have multiple frames.
**Dark Emperor Nyandam, Director Kurosawah, Skelecat, Gato Amigo, Manic Lion Cat and Bardiel are all internally set to have knockback animations that last more than 1 frame, however they still remain static when knocked back.
