Revvers are wheeled skeletal dog-like enemies resembling Dry Bones that first appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They also seem to be based on wind-up mouse toys. They wear a chain leash that can be grabbed and pulled, sending them rushing forward when released. Unlike Dry Bones, they cannot be jumped on to make them collapse and instead need to be hit with a ground pound or sent rushing into a block or wall. They first appear in the course Rolling-Ball Hall, but later appear prominently in a Break Time! course, Break Time! Revver Run.
Their name comes from "rev", referring to their wind-up trait, and possibly "Rover", a common dog name. It may also come from "revive" or "revenant", referring to their undead nature.
