| Monty Mole and Mega Mole These cute lil' arse heads can't really be said to be a pain or not. They're easy to kill, but they are quick and sometimes jump. Mega Moles on the other hand... are one of my biggest fears in SMW! In one level, they will run after you in a narrow path, where you caa't jump on them! So you need a cape or star to kill them. I'll bet dad didn't think twice about using these guys. In Paper Mario, they can they rocks, like in SM64. |

| Spike Top Maybe not the most annoying, but in certain situations, it makes you wish you could destroy your SNES (Don't you dare!) With Yoshi, you can eat them, and not take damage while jumping on them. But as just Mario, they are impossible to destroy(besides stars) But I'm not sure if capes destroy them. In Paper Mario, they have low HP, but are good in battle. |
| Spiny So far, cave enemies have proven to be annoying, Spiny got less annoying as the years went on. In SMB, they were the most annoying. Only stars could kill them. If you didn't have one, you would have to take out the Lakitu to lower the population in the area. |

 |
| Swooper Not very unique, these guys. They just swoop down and try to hit you. Although, sometimes you can't see them. So, that makes it harder to avoid them when they come into view. I've only seen them in SMW and Paper Mario. I always tryed to avoid them in PM, because they would suck out health from you, and use it for themselves. |
 |
| Blargg I think these guys are useless. They just jump very lowly at you, and hardly make you need to jump. And Yoshi can survive jumping on them. I guess dad was running out of ideas. |
 |
| Buzzy Beetle A more advanced version of a Koopa. Fireballs and capes can't hurt them, unlike Koopas. So after you jump on them, just kck them away. But becareful that they don't hit you after hitting a wall. In Paper Mario, they are just like Koopas, only a higher defence. |
 |
| Buster Beetle It's been a while since I've played SMB3. All I remember is that these guys throw bricks at you. I can't remember anything else about him. |
 |
| Dry Bones These are the skeletons of dead Koopas. Using magic, Bowser was able to bring them back, just not to a full extent. They are the Koopas from SMB1 that want revenge. |
