Wild Ptooie Piranha Plants (Custom) - Whoever coded this condemned thing is so evil, and I love it! The way not even a STAR can one-shot it and how it has Lakitu aim on the Needlenoses it spits.
Fuzzy (YI) - In some backgrounds and levels with enemy spam, they certainly confuse me.
Pitchin' Chuck - Do I really need to say anything, specially to the OG SMW Gang? Oh, well. He throws his balls SO QUICKLY that sometimes, it is almost unavoidable! I adore that enemy!

Chasing enemies for me. They are often very annoying, especially since they are often used in combination with very narrow platforms.

Have fun trying to beat him while having only SMB2 bombs with broken hitboxes and being chased by homing cannonballs (chasing Koopas with fire immunity). Daredevil Comet Rules!

For some reason, nobody talks about Blue Beach Koopas.

In a vacuum, they're mostly inoffensive (though I still don't like them from a design standpoint), but some people just love using them as regular enemies for no good reason. It doesn't help that shells in SMBX have ridiculous physics (that I plan on making a .lua for so that people don't have to design around them), so they can move around super unpredictably sometimes.

To put it simply, they're basically this game's equivalent of SMM2's "random Thwomps out of nowhere" trope, and I absolutely despise them.

Which is exactly why I leave those guys on the opposite of the platforms. They reach the shells wayyyyy slower and makes it a lot easier to predict when they are going to punt the shells. :lol:

Have fun dealing with shellkicking Bombshell Koopas who can kick explosive shells that are immune to evewrything and blow up SMB2-like via remote-controlling by enemies.

Either those shell-kicking Beach Koopas that can literally snipe you from off-screen or it's those Buster Beatles that can also snipe you from off-screen.

My opinion has changed on the Chasing AI. I think they're easy to deal with if you're patient and have plenty of moving space. I now think SMB1 Hammer Bros. is the most annoying enemy to deal with. The throwing rng requires you to pause before attacking, awkwardly breaking your pace if you don't have a projectile. They're not the most outrageous feature of SMBX, but the RNG is annoying if you want to both speedrun a level and not get hit.

+1 on the SMB1 Hammer Bros. for sure.

Also, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Ludwig with increased speed, that's genuinely one of the toughest things to deal with just on its own.
