They also wear brown soldier hats and have wind-up keys on their backs. Their name is a combination of "block", which they resemble, and "lockstep", referring to their synchronized marching formation.
Blocksteppers appear in various levels, always marching back and forth (forward in autoscrolling levels) in groups of two or more. They can be defeated with any attack, but defeating one from the group will scatter the group and cause them to run around frantically in panic.
