The Rarest Enemies in Every Mario Game 

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

Bowser realized that Flame Chomps can blow themselves up and ordered them to stay away from Mario but some didn't listen

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 like how the shark doesn't go out of its way to hurt you. Dude is just having a good time

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.

"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*

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)

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.

The reason the Unagi is so rare is because it's usually too busy hanging around Kyoshi Island.

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.

Flame Chomp is from SMB3 originally.

I figured the angry sun in SMB 3 would be included but I didn’t know there are enemies rarer than that one

Aren't the flame chomps rare in SMB3 too? I can only remember them being in one level.

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.

17:10 it shows up twice. One time in overworld and one time in a subarea

For SMG2 there's also the Kleptoads. They appear exclusively in a single secret mission in the Hightail Falls Galaxy.

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

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.

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 this guy can't go one video without mentioning how New Super Mario Bros was the "Return to 2D roots"

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!

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.

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.

The flame chomps might be an Easter egg to Mario fans to see who would recognize them from such a small appearance.

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

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

The rarest enemy is my dad who went to get milk :(

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.

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.

The funniest part is that the flame chomp is in smash run of all things, of all enemies

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

No mention of the regular piranha plants in Super Mario World? Only the upside down variant appear in like one level.

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.

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.

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.

Flame Chomps retextured those black ball enemies that shoot fire in the DS Remake of SM64, so they're not that unknown.

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.

How can you forget the angry sun?

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.

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

I love the Dragoneels 15:30

In Super Mario Odyssey Clepto appears twice, once in the story and once in a subarea, and you showed both :)

I would also Put the Banzai Bill in Mario Galaxy, because if I remember correctly, they only appear in the final Level

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

I think the Fuzzlers and Cat Fuzzlers are pretty uncommon, both only appearing in one level in their specific games

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

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.

In SMB1 theres a Koopa that flies horizontally and only appears in one level.

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.

I never tried the SMB3 eReader levels so I'm curious to see how that would affect these stats.

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

Chain chomps don’t originate in Mario 64 lol. First appearance was Mario 3

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

In SMB3, You kinda missed the Fire Bros., Only appearing in the secret area of W-2

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.

There’s the green bubbles you can swirl jump on in one of the ghost houses in Super Mario World

I feel like one that deserves a mention is those green blobs from super Mario world in the boo house

Big Bubba terrified me as a kid

9:35 blud really thought he did something wrong trying to kill an enemy made of fireballs using fireballs and he did it a couple times on 1 enemy

Torpedo Ted definately doesnt have enough love in the SMB universe, but who loves doing their levels underwater?

Dude Mario predicted hisuian overquill

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!

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.

Wouldn't the moneybags enemy in sm64 be the rarest? It only appears in snowman's land (2 of them) and are VERY easy to miss since theyre literally disguised as coins

It's funny that the Flame Chomp is so rare within the Mario games yet they added it to the Smash Run enemy lineup

The amount of time it would take to make these videos is amazing, you good sir have earned a like and a follow

“That only spawn once is the klepto” “there is two parts you can find him-“

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.

I thought Charging Chuck would be included for _Odyssey,_ considering that enemy only appears two or three times in the game

Vid starts at 0:45

One more rare enemy in mario odyssey is the fuzzy only apearing in the lost kingdom

1:19 swimming around quite what

The jumping Bowser statues in super Mario world!

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.

What about the balloon boo from New Super Mario Brothers? I’m pretty sure he only exists in one level dedicated to him

Half of these are the most known enemies known to man. And a lot of these are more like level properties more than enemies. Like the shark on Super Mario 64 that literally doesn’t hurt you so it’s not an enemy

Fun Fact: If you ground pound that cube rare eneny from ed world, it gets mad and moves twice as fast

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

don't forget about the blue coopa in new super mario bros (ds). it acts like a red coopa, turning around at a ledge and when stomped on, it drops the blue shell. but this shell is the item, not a shell that can be kicked. it only appears once in the whole game, in the 2 player vs mode on a platform in the snow stage. it is the only way to guarantee a 100% chance to get the blue shell item because otherwise it is only obtainable in toad houses, from the red item blocks on the world map and from the hammer bros on the world map.

I’m pretty sure flame chomps are more common in new super Mario bros wii, appearing in at least 2 levels with multiple appearances in each. I think they are rare throughout the series because they were in limited production. The one on the ds was a test model, and all the ones after super Mario bros wii were the few that remained after production was over. I guess bowser just like bob-ombs better.

Odyssey also has a coin coffer appear only twice. They are invisible till you are near them though.

In Mario Bros. 3 there are 2 red "hammer bros"; in the corner of second world (up-right), there is a stone that can be smash with the hammer item, after, a secret path would be able to "play"...

I'd say Nintendo realized that the Flame Chomps are annoying af, so they limited their use.

first appearance of chain chomp was not mario64 it was mario world 3

As of right now bowser's fury (on it's own) is my most favorite mario game in general

Finally! An American who actually knows to pronounce "buoy" as "boy" and not "boo-ey"!

16:03 some reason I laughed at this after he actually did it.

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.

Just a note that klepto appears twice in Mario odyssey, it appears in a moon rock sub area

Another rare enemy would be the flying fish that make an appearance in either “Super Mario 3 or Super Mario World?” I don’t really remember, but I remember two distinct levels where they made it very difficult for me to pass the level😂

In SMB3, there are two Angry Suns in the entire game, one in 2-Quicksand, and the other in 8-2. While the Chain Chomp is rarer, only two Thwomps appear in Mario 64 as far as I remember. While Cataquacks are not rare, there are only two or three red ones in Mario Sunshine.

I'm really surprised you found the Obake Blocks in World 7-Ghost of New Soup Wii, but didn't mention Scripulous Fingore from the original New Soup's World 3-Ghost. Again, just a single enemy in a secret room. So weird that they wouldn't use it more, maybe in a later stage.

You missed the most rare enemy in super mario bros 1: the green cheep cheep. Yes, it exists. It appears off-screen in world 2-3, and Mario must have jumped above the screen to stomp it the moment it spawns in order for its sprite to be seen.

In NSMBDS these moneybags and the blue Koopa are rare as well.

sad he didnt mention the paper mario franchise at all. I know there was a secret enemy in The Thousand Year Door, in the level 4 area. They had a small percent chance to appear and ran away turn one, and they had an absurd amount of health. The goal was to get them from full health to empty in a single turn, and you'd get an instant level up if you could get it done.

I know It isn't really an enemy, but in the Advanced version of Mario 2 there is an weird creature that acts like an spring that is only seen one time in an random jar

nice to see people appreating these while people out there hating on nintendo as an entirety

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

You forgot to mention Pikku from SML2. It only appears 1 time in the game in the last level of Punpkin zone.
