Bowser is the master of the minions. He has actually helped Mario once or twice. The one time I know for sure was in "Super Paper Mario" where Bowser, like Princess Peach, was playable character but instead of floating with an umbrella, he could breath fire. In the earliest Mario games bowser was killed by jumping over him and collecting an axe to chop the bridge he is standing which was actually difficult in the later worlds but now there are several new ways to beat bowser. Although she minions seem to be more anoying thnan bowser himself.

The next character I will talk about is the Koops Troopa. The Koopa Troopa Actually has 2 different varieties which each have 2 different varieties. The first is Green Koopa Troopas. They are very stupid and walk off cliffs. The second is Red Koopa Troopas. They will turn around instead of walking off the cliff. Both of the Koopas can have wings or just walk around without wings. When you jump on a Koopa with wings they become a walking Koopa. When a walking Koopa is jumped on they die and there shell is left behind. You can pick and throw the shell which will spin on the ground until it goes off screen.

The next enemie has been here since the earliest Mario games. The Goomba. This guy just walks back and forth. He pretty much does nothing. If you walk into his side you lose health, if you stomp on him, he dies. Simple as that. The Goomba has three varieties. Normal which is when it just walks around. Paragoomba wher it flies around. When he is stomped on he losees his wings and becomes a normal goomba. And spiked Goomba. He has to be defeated whith a hammer. Please note that the last two varieties are in the newer Mario games.

The next enemie is the Boo. The Boo Luigi's worst enemie. In Luigi's Mansion the house is infested with Boos and he is scared out of his pants. The Boo will follow you when you look away and will cover his eyes with his hands when you look at him. You actually cannot defeat him but you can avoid him (except for in Luigi's Mansion"). He is a real pain but is a good additon. You generally only find Boos in Boo houses but there are rare ocassions where they are not. Also there are Pink Boos and the King Boo.

The next enemie is also pretty indestructible. The Dry Bones. They are walking skeletons. When you jump on them they just collapse and regenerate. They actuall can be destroyed in the "Super Mario Bros Wii" game with an ice block wich you throw at it. They appeared in alot of Mario games (both old and new) but don't do much. I think there is potential for dry bones but they kind of got him wrong.
