Iedereen die ooit een Mario game heeft gespeeld (en wie heeft dat niet??), weet dat zijn vijanden nogal... erg vreemd zijn. Maar in loop der jaren zijn er door Nintendo ook een aantal hele weirde tegenstanders in de games gestopt, dus voor de website Topless Robot een mooie aanleiding om deze top tien te maken.

7) Spooky Mask, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

And here we are yet again with another entry on the list going to an enemy from Super Mario Land 2. Another one of the worlds within the game, Pumpkin Zone, was entirely Halloween-themed and featured enemies designed after nasties that go bump in the night; all derivative from Western culture and Japan. Most likely trying to popularize on the Friday the 13th series for when the game shipped to America, the designers created a Goomba-like enemy whose entire body was a hockey mask similar to that worn by Jason Voorhees. But that's not the strangest part of Spooky Mask, take a closer look at the guy. Yep, that's a big ol' dagger piercing through the mask and into the little guy's brain. Despite its shocking outward appearance, Spooky Mask didn't pose any real threat and merely walked to and fro like any other Goomba. Then again, the blade would provide an explanation for its uncharacteristic benign demeanor.
