Enemy List

The SMRPG enemies have just come in. Add these to the Yoshi's Story enemy list and descriptions and we're close to having every enemy in the game up here and described. Each enemy is accompanied by the first game it appeared in, and some with a description. Because Yoshi's Island , Super Mario RPG and Yoshi's Story has so many enemies that first appeared in them, they have their own separate pages of enemies exclusively in those games. Eventually this page may also have the SML2-3 enemies.
