Mario Wonder has unleashed the shackles of the usual Mario roster and granted upon us a new roster of varied and adorable enemies not seen before in a 2D Mario. And unlike the original New Super Mario Bros which actually introduced a bunch of new foes, it feels like the ones in this game are like...leagues ahead and destined to hopefully become mainstays? Though I do miss those boxing ghosts, they're tight.

But what enemy was your favorite, mechanically or just being damn cute? Worth noting a lot of the new enemies don't even have official names browsing the Wiki, if they're not the title of a level they're basically only know by their internal Japanese code name.

I for one can't help that love Missile Meg. Even though it's just a new variant of a classic foe, I'm glad Bowser has diversified his living ammunition army. Actually I think this is his first ever female-coded grunt? Excluding Pom Pom and Wendy, who are generals. There's the lady Goomba in Odyssey but she feels like a civilian and not a combatant.

Edit: or not in Japan Missile Meg just translates to "Long Bullet Bill". Damn.
