Ninjis are small, black, star-shaped enemies which first appear in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and its overseas Mario conversion Super Mario Bros. 2.

Appearances[]

Super Mario Bros. 2[]

In Super Mario Bros. 2, they jump up and down continuously in place or move around, in which case they jump when near the player. Like most enemies, a Ninji can be picked up, whether moving around or in place.

Super Mario World[]

They later appeared in Super Mario World and instead of staying in place and jumping, they would move around at a speed that's faster then Koopa Troopas, and when coming across an obstacle that's in the way, a hole in the floor, or a cliff edge; they'd automatically jump to get past it. A Ninji can be defeated from either being jumped on, shooting a fireball at it, or from having Mario or Luigi spin into it while in their Caped form. Defeating a Ninji earns the player 200 points.

Ninjis have almost the same sprite as in the original Super Mario Bros. 2, except their two red buttons are brighter.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[]

Ninjis make their debut in the Mario & Luigi series in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Paper Ninjis can hide flat under a grass-colored piece of paper, and when the Bros. and Paper Mario get close, the Ninji begins to pursue until they get out of range, and continue hiding. If a Normal Ninji and a Paper Ninji are in the battle together, the Normal Ninji will grab the Paper Ninji and fold it into a shuriken to be thrown at the player. If only a Paper Ninji is in the battle, it will fold itself into a Star and throw itself at the player, or a second Paper Ninji will throw it, depending on how many are in the battle.

Super Mario Maker 2[]

Ninjis appear in Super Mario Maker 2 via Ninji Speedruns. Once you complete the scheduled speedrun, you can race against other player in the form of a transparent Ninji. The player can't touch them, and there only function is to show what other players did as they progressed through the level. Unlike in other games, They can now use power-ups such as the P-Balloon or SMB2 Mushroom, and do a dance similar to Mario and co. Because they can be distracting, you can go onto the pause screen and choose how many Ninjjs will be in your next run.

Super Mario Run[]

Their next appearance is in Super Mario Run. They have the same characteristics, but Mario can double jump off of them.

Paper Mario series[]

In Paper Mario, Ninjis appear in the town Starborn Valley and are great friends of Merlon and his son Merle.

A Ninji in Paper Mario: The Origami King

Ninjis return in Paper Mario: Sticker Star as enemies. They are fought most of every level in World 3. They attack mainly by jumping at Mario and turning themselves into shuriken and hurling themselves at Mario. They also have a habit of using decoys, making them believe that Mario is attacking the real them. They have an HP of nine.

Ninji reappears in Paper Mario: The Origami King, in origami form. They appear mostly in Ninja Attraction in Shogun Studios. Before fighting, they tend to hide themselves in the environment before secretly revealing themselves and chase Mario. In combat, they swap themselves with logs, whenever Paper Mario uses Hammer attacks. When they have a chance to attack, they will throw shuriken, kick, or teleport above and slam down on Mario.
