Glunder (ガルサンダー, Galthunder in Japan) is a recurring enemy in the Super Smash Bros. series, first appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and returning in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. A Glunder has the appearance of an average-sized black tire, divided into three sectors by a yellow line, and has an eye in the center. The insides of a Glunder are shown to be orange. Glunders resemble the explosives in Race to the Finish of Super Smash Bros.

Glunders roll along floors, walls, and ceilings, always adhering to their respective surfaces. Glunders never stop rolling if left alone, which often defeats them during locked battles. If a Glunder is close to a fighter, it stops moving, opens up its three sectors, and unleashes electricity. A Glunder's attack hits several times and is hard to escape; the last hit has decent knockback.

Glunders have two relatives, Glices and Glires, associated with the elements of ice and fire, respectively.

Glunders are enemies in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. Like electric Jyks, Glunders are only encountered in areas that take place in the clouds. They are vulnerable to water-elemental attacks. Glunders have their own trophy, like the other enemies in The Subspace Emissary, and it can be obtained by throwing a Trophy Stand at one and then collecting the resulting trophy.

Description
An enemy that separates into three parts, then blasts enemies with a high-tension current it produces within its body. When it's ready to attack, it will make a "Bzzt!" sound and produce a lightning flash. When this happens, approach with caution. This enemy type is color coded--Glires are red, Glices are blue, and Glunders are yellow. It's a family of destruction!

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[]

Glunders are enemies in Smash Run mode, and they behave identically as in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Glunders are no longer weak to water-elemental attacks. Glunders have their own trophy, like the other enemies in Smash Run mode.

Glunder Enemy

Random drop
Description
NTSC: This rotating enemy likes to follow the terrain. The yellow one is called Glunder. Whenever a fighter gets too close, it'll release a blast of lightning. One hit isn't too bad, but taking several will really leave you hurting. Best to try to take this thing out from a safe distance.

PAL: If one of these rolling enemies gets close to you, it'll stop, open its outer shell and zap you. Individual shocks don't hurt much, but they add up. Glunders also have a wider attack range than Glices and Glires, making them very dangerous. Since they don't have any elemental weaknesses, just stand back and hit them with any old projectile.

Trivia[]

  • Glunders are the only one of the three wheel enemy types to have insides colored differently than the lines on their outer shell.
