There are also ones with spikes on their heads making them tricky obstacles to dodge. Occasionally they'll leap into the air, providing a scant opportunity to dive beneath them. These new baddies don't have an official name yet but can be seen in lots of different levels, endlessly running in place atop rotating platforms. We don't know how many different attacks he'll try this time around, but stomping on his head will knock his helmet off which looks like it really cheeses him off. He would charge at Mario, Wario style, perform Jumping Jacks if you tried to stomp on him, throw baseballs, kick footballs, and even whistle to alert nearby enemies of Mario's presence.

They now have official English names and take two stomps to kill. Returning from their last main appearance all the way back in Super Mario World, these guys were originally mistranslated as regular Goombas despite being an entirely different species in the Japanese version.

Just like the Tanooki enemies in Super Mario 3D Land, it looks like baddies can make use of the Super Bell in this game. Here are some of the more noteworthy additions. There are also plenty of new enemies and lots of old ones have interesting new twists. It looks like almost the entire Super Mario roster of rogues shows up this time around, including Goombas, Koopas, Piranha Plants, Bloopers, Urchins, Thwomps, even the musical Biddybud beetles from 3D Land are here in force.
Super Mario 3D World, however, pulls out all the stops and looks to have one of the biggest enemy lineups in a Mario game to date. They are so unique, recognizable, and fun that we have come to expect at least a few familiar appearances in each new game. The enemies that appear in a Super Mario game are as iconic to the franchise as the Bros.
