What Wario Land enemies and bosses would you want in spinoff games?

[CM30]

We've had the Tokotokos and Batadons from Super Mario Land show up in Mario Kart World, and various Yoshi's Island enemies appear in the relevant track in Mario Kart Tour and 8 Deluxe.

So, what Wario enemies would you want to see return this way? Are there any normal enemies or bosses you think could be good obstacles in a sports game, or even get the playable character treatment?

The lack of shipwrecked Pirate Gooms and D.D.s floating around in Wario Shipyard was a huge missed opportunity IMO. Otherwise... hard to say. Maybe those spike-mask guys that run into you in 4 could be a fun enemy in a ruins course? Wario Land's enemies aren't exactly the most iconic so I kind of understand the lack of their presence; being reinvented every game to distance continuity doesn't help either.

I mean, nor are most Mario enemies. Who was thinking of those Super Mario Land enemies when wondering what enemies Nintendo might bring back for Mario Kart World? How about the Chill Bullies from Super Mario 64?

At the end of the day, most Wario enemies are about as iconic as most Mario enemies, aka not very. If they appear in a popular game, that changes, at least for a while.

That would actually be an interesting choice. Sending the racers flying without spinning them out would make for a neat obstacle...

I like the Bandinero design and the different colors they have.
