Hopper

Hoppers are Rabbid enemies that appear in . They are similar to Ziggies, but have higher HP and use guns attached to their wrists rather than wield blasters. They are identified by their strange masks and springs on their feet, which they use to do Team Jumps and move around the battlefield.
==History==
===Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle===
Hoppers first appear in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. In their introduction cutscene, a trio of Hoppers are seen adjusting their springs, and bouncing around and performing Team Jumps together. Afterwards, one falls off a ledge, and the other two help it back up.
In battle, much like Ziggies, Hoppers attack by firing a single shot at the heroes from one of their wrist guns. They aren't able to dash into a hero while moving, and instead use their springs to Team Jump on other Rabbids to move further around the battlefield. They will usually try to get to higher ground so they can deal more damage with their shots to heroes below them. Starting with Sherbet Desert, they gain the Outer Shell ability, which negates any and all damage from a single attack, be it from a weapon or dash attack, but the shield they deploy will be destroyed after one attack. They also gain an additional effect that affects the hero should they land a critical hit, which varies between Hopper varieties. They are also able to team jump on two Rabbids in one turn instead of one to gain extra distance.
====Donkey Kong Adventure====
Hoppers also appear as enemies in the Donkey Kong Adventure story expansion for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. They are created when Rabbid Kong accidentally transports to another world after banging on the Time Washing Machine. This causes all the bananas to become contaminated into Bad Bananas, and after discovering they give him power, Rabbid Kong amasses an army of Hoppers and other Rabbids to do his bidding. Hoppers act identical to their appearance in the base game in battle, only they additionally have the Vamp Jump ability.
==Variants==
Four variants appear in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, with a fifth one introduced in Donkey Kong Adventure. Each have their own designs and stats:
*Garden Hoppers, who appear in Ancient Gardens. They have tattered red masks, wrist guns made of tiny Warp Pipes, and fire red-and-yellow balls as ammunition. They have 90 HP.
*Sherbet Hoppers, who appear in Sherbet Desert. They wear cactus-themed masks, fluffy pants, and have wrist guns made of ice. They have 135 HP, can use Outer Shell, and can inflict the heroes with Honey, preventing them from moving for a turn.
*Spooky Hoppers, who appear in Spooky Trails. They appear to be undead and have a black body, wear jack-o-lantern masks, and have wrist guns made of bones. They have 205 HP, can use Outer Shell, and can inflict the heroes with Push, stopping their movement and pushing them backward.
*Lava Hoppers, who appear in Lava Pit. The final Hopper variant encountered, they are the strongest, having 310 HP, Outer Shell, and the ability to inflict Burn, making them run around aimlessly and potentially drawing them out from behind cover. They have a charred appearance, wear a gas mask, and a Bowser Jr. bandanna, worn like a cape.
*Tropical Hoppers, who appear in Donkey Kong Adventure. They wear coconut-made masks with tropical leaves, with wrist guns also made of coconuts. They have 110 HP, can use Outer Shell, and can make the heroes Bounce, stopping their movement and pushing them backward. They also have the Vamp Jump ability, which creates a purple shockwave upon landing from a Team Jump that affects the heroes with Vamp if they are in range, allowing enemies to replenish half of the damage they deal to the affected hero. This makes them the only non-boss enemy in the game that can inflict two status effects.
