'''Hoppycats''' are green mollusk-like enemies with spikes on their backs and mouths on their undersides that appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Similar to [[Spiny Skipsqueak]]s in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', they attack by jumping when the player(s) also jump. There is also a red log-like [[lift]] that shoots out a Hoppycat from the side whenever the player jumps while riding it, which can be used to hit blocks.<ref>Nintendo of America (August 31, 2023). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0m_uNaSres Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct 8.31.2023]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved September 7, 2023.</ref> Their name is a portmanteau of "hop" and "copycat". One [[Wonder Effect]] turns the characters into Hoppycats, though this form is different from the enemy Hoppycats in that it can leap incredibly high into the air. It also starts with four spikes instead of three and is larger, though if the player takes damage, they will shrink to the normal Hoppycat size. Giant Hoppycats can also appear during another Wonder Effect.
'''Hoppycats''' are green mollusk-like enemies with spikes on their backs and large mouths with retractable sharp teeth on their undersides that appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. They are primarily found in [[Shining Falls]], and attack by jumping whenever the player jumps, similar to [[Spiny Skipsqueak]]s in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', before descending slowly back to the ground, during which the player can pass underneath them. They sometimes jump up into the level from underneath, while others can be found attached to the ceiling, jumping with reversed gravity. They can hit and activate blocks just like the player. There is also a red log-like [[lift]] that shoots out a Hoppycat from the side whenever the player jumps while riding it, which can be used to hit blocks to the right.<ref>Nintendo of America (August 31, 2023).

Retrieved September 7, 2023.</ref> One [[Wonder Effect]] turns the characters [[Hoppycat Mario|into Hoppycats]] (with [[Luigi]]'s Hoppycat form bearing the most resemblance to regular Hoppycats), though this form is different from the enemy Hoppycats in that it can leap incredibly high into the air, not unlike the [[Wonder Hoppin|expert]]. It also starts with four spikes instead of three and is larger, though if the player takes damage, they will shrink to the normal Hoppycat size. [[Deka Hoppin|Big Hoppycat]]s also appear during another Wonder Effect, which will destroy anything above them when they jump.


Their English name comes from "hop" and "copycat".<ref>[https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/3c24e9ec-6583-401a-a5ab-818180c2c0a8 マリオたちの行く手を阻む。フラワー王国の個性豊かな敵キャラクターをご紹介。~その2~【ワンダーの世界へ Vol.14】]. ''Nintendo''. Retrieved February 9, 2024.</ref>
