10 Strongest Non-Boss Enemies In The Super Mario Franchise

10. Chargin' Chuck

Super Mario World introduced a burly brute called Chargin' Chuck. As his name implies, he will charge at the player as soon as he spots them.

Because he's padded in football gear, Chuck is one of the very few enemies in the franchise who cannot be killed with one hit. In most games, you need to stomp him two or three times to take him out. In Super Mario 3D World, Chuck becomes faster after you jump on him the first time, making him much harder to defeat.

Chargin' Chuck was made stronger in Super Mario Odyssey since he can smash through obstacles without breaking a sweat. Not even Mario can break through walls or crush boulders... or can he? In this game, you need to throw your sentient hat, Cappy, onto certain enemies to take control of them and use their abilities to progress through the levels.

When you possess Chargin' Chuck, you can crash through walls, obliterate rocks, and destroy almost any enemy in your path. Only when you take control of Chargin' Chuck can you comprehend his might.
