Smasher

Smashers are large Rabbid enemies that appear in . Hence their name, they carry around large slabs that they use to slam into the heroes. They typically deal really high damage, and despite their low stamina leading to poor movement range, they are able to pursue anyone that attacked it, including friendly fire from other enemies such as Supporters or Bucklers.
==History==
===Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle===
Smashers first appear in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. In their introduction cutscene, one is seen surveying the area as a group of Toads are trying to bypass it. After one exits a Rabbid Pipe and bumps into one, it attempts to smash the Toad just before he gets away.
Smashers are dangerous enemies if not handled properly. They attack by striking any hero next to them with the slab they carry on their backs, which deals the most damage of any basic enemy's attack. It additionally deals splash damage to other heroes and enemies close by. They can only attack if they are right next to a hero, and they have rather poor movement due to low stamina. However, if a Smasher is attacked, it will become angry and chase down the attacker; if it reaches them, they counterattack with their slab. As such, they are best dealt with from a far distance, where they cannot reach the heroes during either of their turns. Also, Smashers can chase other enemies that damage them with splash damage, such as Supporters and Bucklers, and will even attack if they reach them. Starting with Sherbet Desert, Smashers also use an ability called NME Empowerment; similar to Mario's M-Power, this ability boosts the attack power of itself and other enemies close by for a turn.
Also, because of their large size, they cannot be protected from half cover. They share this trait with Bucklers.
====Donkey Kong Adventure====
Smashers 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 Smashers and other Rabbids to do his bidding. Smashers act identical to their appearance in the base game in battle, only they replace NME Empowerment with Weaken, which inversely weakens the attack power of heroes in its range.
A close relative of the Smasher, the Smuggler, is also introduced.
