Purple Burrbos also appear during the fight against the [[Ruined Dragon]]. They do not have mouths, but instead have two small red and white circles for their eyes. They come out of spots previously occupied by sword-shaped pins on the dragon's head and try to attack [[Mario]] with electricity and can hop towards him faster than normal ones.

Their name comes from "burr," referring to the burrs of unpeeled chestnuts, and「坊」(''bō''), an affectionate suffix for boys in Japanese; it is also evocative of「クリボー」(''Kuribō''), the Japanese name for Goomba, likely in reference to their Goomba-like face.
