Mimic

Mimics are enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They were also appearing in Super Mario Bros: Warriors of the Mushroom Kingdom where they live in Tangle Jungle.

Appearance and Biology.

Mimics are bush-like silhouettes with glowing yellow eyes and small legs.

Strategy.

Mimics stay in one place, pretending to be actual bushes. When Mario walks by them, Mimics start chasing him in an attempt to hurt him. These enemies can be taken out by a stomp or by using Mario's sword to slash them. Their name comes from the fact that they mimic other bushes, disguising themselves. In the game, Mimics are common and can only spawn in Tangle Jungle where they are encountered in some areas around the jungle.
