Unlike most games, this time they also act as a boss and not just an obstacle. They appear as frequent obstacles in The Rabbit Hole, The Swamp, Shady Contracts, and the Teensy Village. They are also the boss of The Swamp in the level Into Darkness, as they chase the gang throughout the level, eventually leading up to an area surrounded by roots with only 3 platforms to stand on, where the heroes must avoid the hazards and shoot firework mushrooms at them to defeat them.

-The boss area format in Mini is similar to that of Cagney Carnation’s 2nd phase from Cuphead.
