- Hey guys welcome to another Mario based video where today I want to go over the absolute rarest enemies from across the series, a topic you all actually voted for on a recent poll. I hope your all enjoying this type of content im making and if you like it please subscribe!
A fun fact about Mario 64 is that Bullet Bill, although not really a rare enemy, only appears ONCE, in Whomp’s Fortress which is a bit bizarre
What's even weirder is that they were originally able to be jumped on, too.
on a similar note they also added a second bullet bill in mario 64 ds on the submarine in dire dire docks
The weird part is that in mario 64 n64 version, they look like banzai bills. Then in mario 64 ds, they look more like bullet bills and appear in more areas
Bullet Bills were way more common in 64 DS
Bullet Bill for Smash
Bowser realized that Flame Chomps can blow themselves up and ordered them to stay away from Mario but some didn't listen
To be fair a lot of enemies kill themselves
@@drewlmao Nah, they just try to kamikaze
@Obama doESn’t care 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bowser has reached cult leader status.
To be honest, one of them was wearing AirPods Pro at the time, which makes you go deaf if worn. That is, until you take them off.
I think Flame Chomps are rare enemies because of how difficult they are to deal with.
Not only are they airborne, but also erratic and can't always be safely jumped on because you have to watch for the position of their tail. If that wasn't enough, they can also spit out fireballs.
But there's more™
If they run out of fireballs, they will start chasing you and explode.
Meaning that they only really work as isolated, super-enemies.
Waoh
I like how the shark doesn't go out of its way to hurt you. Dude is just having a good time
Fire Bro in SMB3 needs a shout out as well, since they only appear twice in the game and both spots are technically misable. Also the Big Boo Boss in Donut Secret House in SMW.
I feel like the Moneybag from Super Mario 64 deserved to be in this list, it only appears once and you can easily miss it.
So easy to miss, Copycat forgot about it lol
@@TonyHdzV Indeed
but it can be infinitely duplicated so it's not actyaly rare
@@algotkristoffersson15 What do you mean?
@@dg_777player5 by riding a koopa shel in circles at high speed you can duplicate it by making it jump away and disguise at the same time
I think the Chuckyas in 64 need a mention. I have never seen a Chuckya ever appear again outside of that game. Also weren't Koopa Troopas rare in 64? I always found it strange there was only two in the whole game. Very underused and couldn't hurt Mario, but I believe Red ones would have been able to (if they were added)
its weird that in super mario odyssisey, koopas are rare too, they appear only as NPCs in 3D, and as an enemy JUST in 2D
@@vova_gladchuk koopas appear as enemies in 3D land and the mario galaxy series, so they don’t only appear as enemies in 2D
@@GageisME333 I MEAN IN ODYSSEY NOT IN 3D GAMES AS A WHOLE
They didn’t get the context, they’re a bit slow, don’t worry
The reason the Unagi is so rare is because it's usually too busy hanging around Kyoshi Island.
Kyoshi Island, but remove the K.
Or helping Ross fight baddies
@@thealientree3821 yoshi island ? Wait a minute
"I don't count these since they are summoned by a boss"
*Includes Donkey Kong*
"I don't count gold enemies since they only appear when transformed"
*Includes transformed cats*
He also implies that Chain Chomps were first included in SM64, when they’ve been around since SMB3.
@@TundieRice If i remember enough. It was in 2-5 Of SMB3
Same with Ninjis, they weren't new in the DS games, they're from the SMB2 crowd
These things are always weird to me. They're almost all iconic and/or basic enough that I recognize them immediately (with the exception of the fake item boxes), yet I never give them a second thought because of that.
Contrast that with something like say, Majora's Mask, where there's a lot of unique enemies that genuinely do leave an impression on me (like eyegore, death armos, and kejiron) despite being far from the first thing I think about whenever I think about the game as a whole.
You can interact with lava cheep cheeps in SMS. Because they deal damage when they hit you, and because that damage gives you i-frames, you can get hit by one, land in the lava, and immediately dive under to start lava swimming. Lava in this game is just water with a death plane on top of it, but it's a wierd death plane which only kills you when it tries to deal damage. If you're still flashing from the cheep cheep damage, you have time to escape the death plane. You can then swim to the end of the level, using i-frames from air loss to come to the surface and refill your air bar periodically.
Oh I see I was not the only one see this happen. Just commented this.

Thank you!
The rarest enemy in Mario Galaxy you forgot to mention is the giant goomba that appear only once in the game, at the begining, upon death, it give you the key that lead you to the first grand star's room.
There is a fire chomp in Mario 3, only in one level, and only for like 2 minutes, surprised that one wasn't pointed out.
Bold to assume Nintendo put the flame chomps there. They just appeared on their own, and chose to stay in secret areas to avoid being spotted by Nintendo.
I know it's usually not considered a Mario title, but Yoshi's Island is just packed with great rare and one-off enemies (with the GBA-exclusive stages getting many of them a bit more screen time). The Grim Leechers that reverse your controls, the game's single Chain Chomp (which hides the game's only 2-player content), the Blindfold Boo and Boo Balloon, Thunder Lakitu, Harry Hedgehogs...Even regular Goombas only turn up in one stage in this game.
It's called Super Mario World 2 so it technically IS considered a Mario title. I felt ripped off for them not including it.
@@Aquardis Similar like Wario Land 1 which is also Super Mario Land 3
Flame Chomp is from SMB3 originally.
For SMG2 there's also the Kleptoads. They appear exclusively in a single secret mission in the Hightail Falls Galaxy.
I feel like this guy can't go one video without mentioning how New Super Mario Bros was the "Return to 2D roots"
Just wait for tomorrow 😂 all jokes aside I was doing it too see how long someone would comment and you won
5:45 We’ll at one point Mario was more recognizable to children than Mickey Mouse sooooo maybe he didn’t like that very much.
2:15 - Fun fact about Autobombs. There is an incredibly small chance that an autobomb will one-hit kill you as soon as it fires its shot. Not when you get hit -- when it fires the shot. The autobomb has to be at an exact vertical pixel position to do it, which can only happen when it's falling down some stairs. That's because the autobomb corrupts memory every time it fires a shot, and if it's at a very specific Y position, it corrupts Mario's vertical page value and warps him into the pit!
I feel like the Tail Bob-Omb from 3D Land is also pretty rare. They only show up in a few levels if memory serves me.
I can't tell you how much I love this channel! Once I retire from the service, I have been inspired to make a channel like this but also continue the blend of music.
Thank you for your service, and best of luck with things!
I figured the angry sun in SMB 3 would be included but I didn’t know there are enemies rarer than that one
THIS.
My idea about the flame chomp is that it was a fan idea, scrapped idea that came back, or a mistake in the code that inspired someone at Nintendo
Maybe Flame Chomps are well hidden in recent games because Nintendo thinks they look too scary…? But then again Nintendo still uses Amps in plenty of levels and they have those creepy clown faces lol
In NSMB, Squigglers only show up in 7-A, while they do appear elsewhere in the series. On the other hand, Kab-ombs are only seen in 8-8 and are never seen again at all.
They're in Mario Golf: World Tour, if that means anything.
I think the flame chomps being so rare is probably an inside Nintendo tradition at this point. Probably just something the older devs tell the newer ones and they follow suit
Aren't the flame chomps rare in SMB3 too? I can only remember them being in one level.
Klepto actually shows up twice in SMO, once in lost kingdom, and once in a sub area.
Chain chomps in NSMBDS are also extremely rare, as only three of them appear in the entire game, all of them in world 6-6.
Also bring back flame chomp Nintendo, we need more of him!
As much as I hated flame chomps, they were cool and unique enemies
The rarest enemy is my dad who went to get milk :(
This implies that he can hurt you
no sense and not a enemy and idc
@@shibalienelite5247 what if he's an abusive dad
Cope
ha ha 😐
A couple things:
1. Chain chomps were introduced with SMB3, *not* Super Mario 64.
2. Ninji were introduced with SMB2 (US), *not* Super Mario World.
The boohemoth in NSMB2 is also pretty rare. It only appears in two ghost houses. It is the largest boo in the Mario franchise, it unfortunately didn't make it to a lot of other games.
Should probably be worth mentioning that while a lot of these enemies are rare, some of them have appeared in multiple titles. The fire bros were in SMB3 in a similarly rare appearance. It's the same with the sumo bros being in one level in Super Mario World.
17:10 it shows up twice. One time in overworld and one time in a subarea
New Super Mario Bros also had a blue variant of the Koopa Troopa. It’s found only in the snow level of the Mario vs Luigi multiplayer mode and it rewards you with a blue shell when stomped on. It’s the only one of its kind in the game
I feel you should have mentioned bullet bills when you were talking about Mario 64 since they also only appear once. As for Mario Galaxy 2, I think you cpuld have included those digging moles that only appear once and there's only two
On Super Mario for SNES there was an enemy that was like a lava hippo that appears only on 1 level. You know what I'm talking about?
Blargg appears in more than one level.
I would say Fire Snakes are rarer, since they only appear in Outrageous.
I know technically it's not a Mario game but, in Luigi's Mansion I'd say the rarest enemy is the golden/yellow mouse. They spawn is mostly random and never guaranteed. You can on exception spawn a few with cheese in the room.
I have never heard anyone call them “bloobers” before 😂
The funniest part is that the flame chomp is in smash run of all things, of all enemies
new Super Mario Bros 2 there's actually another enemy that's actually hard to find to and that's the green money bags. They only appear a couple of times
And the normal NSMB
@@yasinzayan3836 true
A rare enemy in Super Mario World are the basic piranha plants, which were only seen in one level and they only faced downward and never upward, which is very unusual! Paragoombas are actually very rare in New Super Mario Bros. DS!
I also thought the golden chomp appeared in two levels, Gusty Garden and Battle Rock.
another rare bad guy is Ninji from super mario 2, that only appears in Bowser castle(mario world)
@@philipmoan8520 I swear the ninjis are everywhere, but aren’t they in world 1 of smb2?
@@PancakebatterLuigi mario world one level. lol
I have dabbled in SMW hacking back in the day. There's a sprite for the piranha plant head facing upward that is never used. It's never used and there is no stem sprite. If you place it in a level without tinkering with the sprite set or applying a patch, the stem sprite is one of the cheep-cheep flopping on land sprite.
@@philipmoan8520 While the ninjis are rare in Super Mario World, that doesn't make them rare in other games (case in point, they show up quite often in SMB2).
Dude Mario predicted hisuian overquill
I believe snailicorn should also be mentioned for new super Mario bros as that is the only game they ever appear in and they’re only in a few levels
Love the video! It's always cool to see recaps of old games in new interesting ways. I'd like to add though, Bowser's brother, from the lost levels. I don't think he's ever had a reappearance except as a blue Bowser skin in some spinoff games.
Flame Chomps retextured those black ball enemies that shoot fire in the DS Remake of SM64, so they're not that unknown.
Bro you're such a nerd! I've been using as my mario content plug for a while now and i gatta say, i never really get tired of it. Good to hear nerds spreading words!
16:23 You forgot about the Porkupuffer fish that appears in the Rock-Candy Mines (World 6) and you didn't mention the ghost blocks even though you already mentioned them in a differnet game. You also missed the Purple Cheep Cheeps that continuously follow you.
Vid starts at 0:45
I feel like one that deserves a mention is those green blobs from super Mario world in the boo house
What about the king bills from Wii? Or the red banzai bills? Firework bob ombs called Kab-ombs, those fat boos that I forgot the name of, tons of super rare enemies in the 2D games that only get used a handful of times
The amount of time it would take to make these videos is amazing, you good sir have earned a like and a follow
Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World both had multiple levels that included more than one Flame Chomp. So they were actually almost a regular enemy in the earlier games. Along with the ball and chain versions
So arent the angry sun and big Bertha fish rare enemies in Mario 3 as well? Since they only show up in 1 or 2 levels.
What about the Hatopop, or even rarer Puncher from Super Mario Sunshine? Only two Hatopops appear in Noki Bay, and change locations each episode. There are only two punchers period in the game, with one appearing in the II Piantissimo race under the first pulley, and the other in the shadow mario chase in a certain alcove near the top of the west cliff
Snooza Koopas in Piana Park
What about the Back Cursya from Super Paper Mario? It only shows up twice in the whole game and touching it sends you back to flipside. There’s a lot of unique enemies in the game and I’ll bet there are more rare ones
Like all the Dark versions, which only show up in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials and have their own Catch Cards?
In Super Mario Odyssey Clepto appears twice, once in the story and once in a subarea, and you showed both :)
What about the balloon boo from New Super Mario Brothers? I’m pretty sure he only exists in one level dedicated to him
No mention of the regular piranha plants in Super Mario World? Only the upside down variant appear in like one level.
Yay another video I love these
An enemy you forgot to mention from Galaxy 2 - I believe it's also located in Cosmic Cove
The big Jellyfish, he appears once in Galaxy 2
He also forgot Kleptoads, which only appear in hightail falls for the secret star. And then they never appear in the series again.
@@bloodyvermillion2259 well except in that minecraft crossover pack
@@ScaredSackless4566 i did say "in the series" tho.
7:47 spindel, but sadly no Grindel…
What about those hopping snowmen in Cool Cool Mountain? There's literally only two right next to each other and they only appear in one level!
I'm convinced there's a Nintendo dev who's kid created the flame chomp, begged him to put it in the game, and the dev had to relinquish it to a secret area because the game was already basically done
I like how in the rpg and paper spinoffs they make new enemies for every game that still feel like mario enemies.
noice video I love this content I need more of these rankings and every stuff you inspired me to replay 3d world and play more mario maker thank you
It was a good watch. From other videos I’ve watched I think there’s a rarer one in the original super Mario bros. Apparently there’s a green cheep cheep briefly spawns in 7-3 near the bottom of the level and immediately falls down out of sight. At least that’s what I think. Could be wrong.
I think the Fuzzlers and Cat Fuzzlers are pretty uncommon, both only appearing in one level in their specific games
It's funny that the Flame Chomp is so rare within the Mario games yet they added it to the Smash Run enemy lineup
Basement neckbeard voice: "Hehe, you forgot all the Mario Kart and Mario Party games, loser!"
Come on. If variants of the same enemy count, then the horizontally flying Koopa Paratroopa is by far the rarest enemy, only found on 7-3, and there's like 4 of them total. This video would have needed way more research.
I love these videos. Good work!
Flame chomp was rare in smb3, and so was the fire bro
Great Video Mr.Copy Cat. thanks and much love to u and the channel
I would also Put the Banzai Bill in Mario Galaxy, because if I remember correctly, they only appear in the final Level
Torpedo Ted definately doesnt have enough love in the SMB universe, but who loves doing their levels underwater?
first appearance of chain chomp was not mario64
it was mario world 3
No mention to the flying raven face at the end of SMB2? I guess it's technically a miniboss, but SMB2 reuses it's only other miniboss like crazy (even uses it as a normal enemy at times) and yet the crow face only appears once at the end coming out of nowhere, so it does still stand out to me as a honorable mention at least.
For 3D World, the fuzzy hordes that appear in 6-7 Fuzzy Time Mine and Flower-2 Floating Fuzzy Time Mind could be mentioned here, considering they only appear in 2 levels. Granted, they are more of a deadly obstacle than anything, in a similar vein to the rising lava you'd find in other games, but it's worth a mention.
In Mario 1, I probably would have said the paratrooper that flies horizontally instead of vertically I think I've only seen them like once or twice. I know for sure they're on 7-3
Yep, only in 7-3, so they're the rarest.
How can you forget the angry sun?
Super Mario world 3? Really bro?
The Angry Sun appears in two levels. The special desert tile is the obvious one but it also appears in 8-2. This is the stage you can sink in the quicksand to get to the secret pipe and skip most of the level so many people don't even see that sun. It is definitely rare but some enemies are rarer.
@@jamessnedeker4799 But he should have mentioned it, regardless…
It’s cool Ninji will get another appearance in the new Mario Party
8:49 never thought you'd be able to die from skin cancer in a mario game but here we are
I never tried the SMB3 eReader levels so I'm curious to see how that would affect these stats.
“That only spawn once is the klepto” “there is two parts you can find him-“
9:23
False. One time I was playing SMS, one of those fishes bumped into me, knocking me BELOW the lava, making Mario swimming in black void and made me lose air like I was underwater. The moment I surfaced, Mario died touching the lava. I only ever saw this once in my life and I played Sunshine quite a lot.
The jumping Bowser statues in super Mario world!
In SMB3, You kinda missed the Fire Bros., Only appearing in the secret area of W-2
Finally! An American who actually knows to pronounce "buoy" as "boy" and not "boo-ey"!
Hah I’m Canadian
@@Copycat_YT My apologies! That would explain why you know the correct pronunciation! On this side of the Atlantic, you all sound the same to us.
Just came after two years, and his intro hasn't changed a bit haha
Corrupted Nikos? If it's spelled Nikos, you said it right, if it's spelled Neko's, you just offended a lot of people.
There was like 2 or 3 other pronunciation errors, but that one was the biggest one.
This, however, doesn't change how AWESOME this video was. Great watch, and hello to a new sub (that's been subbed for a couple years, but either way I'm subbed lol).
I think it's worth noting that Banzai Bills only show up in the final level of Super Mario Galaxy, especially considering they're all over the place in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
There’s the green bubbles you can swirl jump on in one of the ghost houses in Super Mario World
I love the Dragoneels 15:30
No it’s in 15:31
@@shibalienelite5247 I know
Big Bubba terrified me as a kid
For the algorithm, great video ❤
edit: this feels like shiny hunting now lol
The bloopers in Mario 1 can also be found in a couple of the overworld athletic levels. Also known as the 3rd levels in each world.
Haha. @1:18 Watching this at a higher speed makes it sound like you said, "The Bloopers move around erotically, creating an annoying experience".
I thought Charging Chuck would be included for _Odyssey,_ considering that enemy only appears two or three times in the game
