Who's the MOST Obscure Mario Enemy?

This month I received...

Mario and Luigi have defeated many enemies over the years, but who among their enemies is the most obscure? Clearly not a Koopa, Goomba, or Spike... unless... it was cooler...

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

Lockstin Fact: SML2 is one of my go-to games when I need a dose of nostalgia, it's so comfy.
Smell is also heavily related to nostalgia and memory in general, I love the smell of GBC cartridges...

Rare non-pokemon Lockstin video is cool

[doodleityourself]

A video not about a creature collector?! Crazy things happening in 2024! I’d like to see more!

8:57 I like the implication that Mario met THE Dracula and destroyed him effortlessly. The Belmonts must be jealous

[CMan]

16:33 go back. go back. they made a FOREST VARIANT of the FIREBAR??

Albatoss, not Albatross. Because it tosses the Bob-Ombs.

I'd argue there is an even more obscure enemy than Bowser's brother and its actually from the same game. The sky bloopers, which were literally just slightly pink-ish bloopers from a single level in the game.

4:12 Super Obscure Fun fact about the Fire Nipper Plant:

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, regular Nipper Plants are enemies in the game, however, if you check their description in the Musée Champignon, it says how they're able to spit fire, although they don't have a fire attack in game, they have unused code which suggests they were suppose to have a fire spit attack, so technically, they we're gonna appear again, but they didn't.

[spyrguy]

The most obscure enemy in my opinion (because I never see it mentioned even as trivia) is the Bouncing Blade from Super Mario Advance. Not only is it exclusive to a *port* of Super Mario Bros 2, not only does it only appear *once* in the entire game, but it appears in an out-of-the way bonus area: a jar in world 5-2. It stretches up and down, poses almost no threat, doesn't move, and can only be defeated with a Starman. Its sprite is also... bizarre. It looks almost like a debug enemy that was left in by accident.

Funnily enough, Wart is actually referenced in a piece of dialogue in Paper Mario Color Splash, no actual appearance though.

[StartouchArts]

Smeech was actually in Sunshine! They appeared in Bianco Hills when you fight Petey Piranha for the second time, you use them to wake him up to start the fight.

17:02 I cannot believe I actually knew what you were talking about the moment you mentioned "Bowser's brother"

[deadlydingus]

Wart wasn’t in Dream Team for two reasons

1. You don’t go into Mario’s dreams. You go into Luigi’s.

2. It’s established that every location of the real world has a corresponding section of the Dream World. Dream Team doesn’t take place in the Mushroom Kingdom, so the odds of seeing Wart again are as good as seeing anyone else.

OK WE GOTTA TALK ABOUT THAT LUIGI'S MANSION IDEA BECAUSE IT'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD
put luigi against youkia, or other monsters, in some spookier places not just mansions but maybe castles or whole towns too

[mitwhitgaming]

I have been saying, I want to Nintendo to make a RTS game of some sort where you play as Bowser in command all of the various Mario enemies from over the years.
Your ultimate goal could be kidnapping Peach.

I did not know about a lot of these enemies but absolutely knew about bowser's brother. He's such a common fun fact for youtubers to bring up, plus as a smash fan I have seen so many people on forums and reddit and stuff talk about alt colour origins.

[PointsofData]

The Chuckya came back in a way in Sunshine in the form of Chucksters, and I always really liked what they did with them since it's so funny

Video Idea: Turning Mario Enemies into Pokémon

[krakios]

To answer the question at 3:14, it would be because you never enter Mario's dreams during Dream Team

[KOkami]

3:16
Probably because Wort was dreamed up by Mario, and Dream Team's main mechanic involves going into Luigi's dreams.
