Broozer: Difference between revisions

Broozers are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. They are encountered in {{world-link|5|ghostn|World 5-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}} and [[World 5-C]] only. Broozers run into the direction of [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]), punching at anything in their way, though they can clear pathways by destroying otherwise unbreakable bricks, allowing the player character to reach otherwise inaccessible areas and [[Star Coin]]s. A Broozer can be defeated from either being [[stomp]]ed three times or instantly from a [[Ground Pound]], being hit from [[Shell Mario]]'s [[shell dash]] maneuver, a [[fireball]], or contact with [[Mega Mario]]. Broozers have bad tractions and can often fall into gaps in the floor by running past their target, being unable to stop. Broozers do not take notice of Mario while he is hiding in a [[Shell Mario|blue shell]].

Broozers make their ''Mario & Luigi series'' debut in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', where they are encountered in [[Neo Bowser Castle]] in both normal and [[Paper Broozer|paper]] forms commonly. Two Broozers are also fought alongside two Paper Broozers as one of Bowser's last lines of defense.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Broozers make an appearance in the ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode, where they are enemies and recruitable allies. However, their Special Skill has been changed to Smack Back Attack. They are strong against [[Alarm Bob-omb]]s and [[King Bob-omb]], as well as Bob-ombs and Mechakoopas once again.

Broozers make their ''Mario Party'' series debut in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', where they are the focus of the [[Croozin' for a Broozin']] [[minigame]], the goal being is to outrun a group of them. Artwork of a Broozer can also appear in [[Absent Minded]], as one of the characters that can be chosen. They appear to glow in dimly lit areas. Some Broozers appear in the background of [[Super Mario Party#Challenge Road|Challenge Road]] to indicate one of the upcoming minigames will be Croozin' for a Broozin', and are seen chasing a scared [[Toad (species)|Toad]].
