Shovas are large Koopas that first appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, with yellow skin, black helmets, and black Buzzy Beetle-esque shells, making them resemble the Hammer Bros of Super Mario Bros. 3, with a large body size much like Sledge Bros and Sumo Bros (which also share their squinted eyes), though, compared to most Koopas, they lack a noticeable snout or beak, instead possessing a mostly-flat face with a heavily-built lower jaw. As indicated by their name, they slowly shove objects such as pipes and boxes forward with their large gloved hands. If the player approaches them head-on, the Shova will push them away without causing damage, though they can still inflict damage like any other enemy if touched from the back or from the bottom (if not in Drill form). It take three stomps or three fireballs to defeat a Shova, though they can be more instantly taken out with a ground pound, a single stomp or trunk strike in elephant form, a drill attack, or contact with a player made invincible by a Super Star. Shovas are introduced in Swamp Pipe Crawl and are featured prominently in the eponymous Secrets of Shova Mansion, where they pursue the player by pushing a giant golden Bowser Statue during the level's Wonder Effect.
