How well do you know your Super Mario Bros. villains?

Bowser and Birdo? Goombas? Easy peezy lemon squeezy. How about the ones that don’t get recycled as pop culture references in blog post after blog post? Do you think you can tell them apart from obscure dinosaurs?
Well ok, Mr. Fancy Pants. Get on over to Mental Floss’s latest quiz and find out for yourself. Then tell us how you did in the comments. I’m anticipating incredibly high scores from the Infendo faithful. I passed, by the way,with flying colors.

June 2nd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
87% for me. Missed #9 and 10
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:24 pm

Need to play more Marios…lol
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:27 pm
100%. Needless to say, I love Super Mario Bros. 2 (where most of the baddies on this list came from)
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:29 pm
ergh…13 out of 15.
I missed Ostro (I should have known better) and Troodon.
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Score: 93% (14 out of 15)
I missed the second one…

@David:
Not only did I get the same score as you, but I got the exact same ones wrong. Go figure.
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Whoo-hoo! 93%! (14 out of 15). I only missed Bagaraatan, still, I beat the 75% avarage.
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:50 pm
87%, missed #13 and #14. I was actually really surprised at my score because I thought I was stumped from the beginning. YAYUH!
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:51 pm
14/15 for me. I missed Yinlong.
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:58 pm
yay got a:
Score: 87% (13 out of 15)
June 2nd, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Score: 60% (9 out of 15)
A little too much Super Mario Bros 2. Or should I say Doki Doki Panic…
way to make a false quiz, it should be Doki Doki Panic Enemy or Dinosaur.
June 2nd, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Damn. 93% or 14/15.
June 2nd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
I got a 74%. I agree with Will. I don’t care about all the stupid silly names for all the random enemies in Super Mario 2 . That’s not a real mario game so it shouldn’t count. I haven’t played it in ages, but surely someone could only have learned all those names if they were bored and felt like memorizing the manual, do they even mention their names in game?
June 2nd, 2008 at 4:17 pm
93% Put Animatronyx as a SMB Villian
June 2nd, 2008 at 4:31 pm
100%. Can we have a real challenge now? Like, naming all the types of enemies in the original Metroid and the respective locations where they could be found….
June 2nd, 2008 at 5:05 pm
I agree w/Kale.
That’s a challenge worthy of being a true Nintendo fan/loyalist.
Let’s start a thread, shall we?
June 2nd, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I missed 3
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:07 pm
100%. I don’t know dinosaurs as well as I did when I was a little kid (I was dino-obsessed), but the suffixes made is kind of easy. Plus, I know my Mario villains for sure. ;D
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:08 pm
14/15.
missed on the smb enemy that sounds like porcupine.
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Well, I used to work with Birdo and we got along great.
June 2nd, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Bowser. Who else is there?
June 2nd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
14/15. Missed “Troodon”.
June 2nd, 2008 at 9:20 pm
I missed 1
June 2nd, 2008 at 9:22 pm
80% here.
June 3rd, 2008 at 12:03 am
87 percent. I never have played all the way through Super Mario Bros 2… not that their names are really in the game, that I know of.
June 3rd, 2008 at 4:21 am
47%…
Never really played SMB2 than the first 2 or 3 bosses… Go figure. Never even heard of these enemies…
And as someone from Belgium I didn’t even know there was an animal called Dollodon crawling this surface several million years ago…
ANd… am I the only one brave enough to post bad marks? :p
June 4th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
93%…… I missed troodon.
June 4th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
100% for me. I am a Nintendo girl-geek.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:59 am
100% first try… I’m actually surprised, I thought I got Triclyde and Ostro wrong, but they sounded familiar from one of the SMB game’s credits.
