Rrrumbas are pillbug-like enemies with giant breakable rock shells that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They walk around until they notice the player, walk down a slope, or fall down a ledge; at which point they start rolling, gaining speed if they are on sloped surfaces. A simple stomp on this enemy will make them roll once again, so the player is reserved to ground pound or jump at them from below in Drill form in order to defeat them, breaking its shell. Sparkling Rrrumbas have coins or power-ups inside that can only be obtained once defeated. Rrrumbas only appear in a level using their own name, Where the Rrrumbas Rule, where the Wonder Flower is stored inside one of the sparkling Rrrumbas.

Rrrumbas' name is derived from "rumble" (a reference to the sound a rolling boulder makes) and "Goomba".
