Guerrillas areKong-like enemies found in theForest Maze inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars andits remake. Their name is a pun on "gorilla" and "guerrilla warfare". Aside from their chains and shackles, they are very similar in appearance toDonkey Kong, as referenced by theirthought. They also have a stronger near-identical counterpart, theChained Kong.
Guerrillas are the strongest enemies in the Forest Maze, having powerful physical attacks at their disposal. Like most powerful enemies in the game (e.g.Reacher orMastadoom), Guerrillas appear rarely, with only one appearing per battle, and never appearing on the overworld.
An action course inthe Trial Course has Mario avoiding the barrels thrown by a Guerrilla, referencingDonkey Kong.

Notes[edit]
- In the Japanese trailer for the Nintendo Switch version ofSuper Mario RPG, Guerrilla's Monster List entry incorrectly listed its HP as 121 and Exp. as 10. This was fixed in the localized English trailer to match that of the original game.
- Guerrilla's Japanese thought references theall persons fictitious disclaimer, a standard blurb used in the credits of feature films to reduce the risk of a libel lawsuit.[4] While the English release of the SNES version changes it due to text limits while still keeping the intended reference to mistaken identities, the English release of the Nintendo Switch version restores the reference.[5] This may be a reference tothe legal issues Donkey Kong had from similarities toKing Kong.
