Bowser's Minions, also referred to as the Turtle Tribe in Mario's character profile, is Bowser's group of minions that act as enemies in Super Smash Bros. Melee's Adventure Mode in the Mushroom Kingdom stage, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary.
In Melee's Adventure Mode, the Bowser's Minions serve as basic enemies in the Mushroom Kingdom stage. Their members include Goombas, Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas.
In Brawl's The Subspace Emissary, Bowser's Minions serve as a faction of the Subspace Army. They are tasked with deterring any interference to Tabuu's plot, but their efforts are ultimately foiled. The first member to be seen is Petey Piranha where he appears at the Midair Stadium as the mode's first boss encounter. The rest debuted during their theft of Donkey Kong's banana hoard. There are six different members of Bowser's Minions in the mode. The trophies of the troop's members are collected by use of a Trophy Stand.
Goomba[edit]
Goombas are the most common and basic members of Bowser's Minions. They are extremely weak, as they can be eliminated with a single jump, and cannot withstand many conventional attacks. They attack with charges.
Koopa Troopa[edit]
Koopa Troopas are the second most common members of Bowser's Minions, acting as basic cannon fodder infantry with the Goombas. They come in green and red variations, and when attacked enough or jumped on, they will withdraw into their shells, which can be thrown or kicked for the character's offense. They attack with headbutts.
Koopa Paratroopa[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas are winged variants of the Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas can use their wings to fly forwards, or directly upwards and downwards. If a Koopa Paratroopa is attacked or jumped on, they will lose their wings and revert to being a standard Koopa Troopa. Just like Koopa Troopas, Paratroopas use headbutts to attack.
Hammer Bro[edit]
Hammer Bros. are members of the Koopa species, like the more basic and common Koopa Troopas, that are armed with an array of hammers, which they can throw. Unlike a Koopa Troopa, a Hammer Bro cannot be jumped on in Brawl, and must be defeated using regular attack methods. The Hammer Bro also appears as an Assist Trophy where it is completely invincible.
Bullet Bill[edit]
The Bullet Bills, while a living species, could be considered the machinery of Bowser's Minions, as they heavily resemble bullets and can be fired at any desired target to damage. While Bullet Bills can be defeated by attacks, they typically fly off of the screen boundaries by themselves without the need to manually destroy them.
Giant Goomba[edit]
Giant Goombas serve as a more powerful version of the Goomba, as while they use the same methods of attack, these attacks inflict more damage, and have a higher chance of KO'ing. Giant Goombas will only be defeated after they have been jumped on three times, or taken more conventional attacks than a standard Goomba.
Petey Piranha[edit]
Petey Piranha is the only boss from Bowser's Minions included in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, excluding Bowser. He appears as the first boss encounter, holding the cages of both Peach and Zelda at the end of the Midair Stadium. Once a cage's health is depleted, it will break and free the princess inside while Petey will be defeated. The unsaved princess will be reduced to her trophy form by Wario. In The Great Maze, Tabuu recreates Petey, along with the other bosses, in an attempt to slow his enemies down.
Bowser[edit]
Bowser, the king of the Koopa species to which he belongs, is the group's leader in addition to being a subordinate to Tabuu during The Subspace Emissary. Bowser is later fought by King Dedede in Subspace (Part I), but after he is defeated, he will join the protagonists' team and can serve as a playable character. However, the remainders of Bowser's Minions that inhabit The Great Maze stay as enemies.
