The '''Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother''' is a koopa that sits on a pair of flying blocks and throws hammers to both sides every time Mario comes near.

Ball 'n' Chain is exactly what the name suggests: a spiked ball attached to a block by a chain. The ball rotates around the block slowly. Mario can be damaged by the ball, but the chain has no effect at all. The block that the chain is attached to functions the same as any other solid block in the game. Also, Mario can spin jump off of the ball. | Ball 'n' Chain is exactly what the name suggests: a spiked ball attached to a block by a chain. The ball rotates around the block slowly.

Blargg is a bizarre dragon-like creature that dwells in lava, sort of resembling a hippo. They usually appear in levels where Mario has to cross large lava expanses on skull rafts. Blargg usually announces his presence when his large white eyes peek out of the lava (some say the eyes look like a piranha plant). Blargg will make a lunge toward Mario, which can easily be avoided with a jump. If Mario is on Yoshi, Blargg is no threat because Yoshi can step over him, and if timed properly Yoshi can turn backward and swallow Blargg whole before he sinks into the lava again (SNES Only). | Blargg is a bizarre dragon-like creature that dwells in lava, sort of resembling a hippo.

Whether it's lost underwater or defending Bowser, these enemies can be located in every corner of this game. Chuck is a [[../Enemies#Koopa|Koopa]] dressed as a football player who can perform multiple attacks in its various incarnations. In standard form a Chargin' Chuck simply runs after Mario to tackle him. Sometimes he tries to sneak up on Mario by quietly jogging towards Mario, the game turns off his trademark charging sound. | ||
All Chargin' Chucks require three hits from Mario or one cape swipe to be defeated. Multiple fireball hits also work at short range. The first hit from any attack but fire usually makes them lose their special ability if they have one, or stuns them. A second hit will do the same before the third hit knocks them off the course. A Chuck can also vault many medium and small sized obstacles in his pursuit of Mario, only being stopped by the highest obstacles. However Chargin' Chucks will run over cliffs in their pursuit. He can also run his way through yellow and purple blocks in his never-ending quest to smash Mario. | All Chargin' Chucks require three hits from Mario or one cape swipe to be defeated.

Monty Moles are small creatures that hide in the ground and in mountains, waiting for Mario or Luigi to approach them. Before they pop up out of the ground, they cause the dirt in the ground and on the mountain walls to crumble, giving away their location. They then pop out of the ground, and follow Mario and Luigi wherever they walk until they are outrun or they fall off the stage. Also, if Mario or Luigi outruns a Monty Mole, but then returns to the area where it popped out of, another Monty Mole will spawn from the same hole the first one jumped out of. | Monty Moles are small creatures that hide in the ground and in mountains, waiting for Mario or Luigi to approach them.

Pokeys are evil cacti, and they're one of Bowser's minions. They just wander around, and if they see Mario or Luigi, they'll start to follow them, trying to catch them. But because they're unbelievably slow, you don't have to worry about being caught. But the problem is, since they're quite large, you can hardly jump over them, making them a real pain. And, they have nasty spikes all over their body, so if you touch them, you'll get hurt. Fortunately, if you're riding Yoshi, you can eat them piece by piece (they are built out of five pieces, so you'll have to let Yoshi eat ALL of the pieces, because they can revive themselves). | Pokeys are evil cacti, and they're one of Bowser's minions.
