Bandineros are enemies and minions of the Shake King in Wario Land: Shake It! Multiple color variants under the Bandinero handle appear in the game, all of which are harmless to Wario and can be defeated with any attack, with the red Bandinero being the most common type encountered. Their name is a blend of "bandit" and "dinero", a Spanish word for "money".
Bandineros have several derivatives, including the Floating Bandinero, Pitchfork, Boomdinero, and Buccanero.
Varieties[edit]
Red Bandinero[edit]
Red Bandineros are the most common species in the whole game. Most walk from side to side on a platform, turning around at an edge or a wall; others can be found standing in one place. If Wario shakes a red Bandinero, a head of garlic may pop out. The red Bandinero assumes the role of the Wanderin' Goom from the original Wario Land and the Marumen from Wario Land 4.

Blue Bandinero[edit]
Blue Bandineros are the result of Wario bumping into a Floating Bandinero.
Yellow Bandinero[edit]
Yellow Bandineros jump up and down. Most of them do so in one place, while others move forward while jumping.
White Bandinero[edit]
White Bandineros are an uncommon kind of Bandinero. They are always found sleeping or in a dizzy state. If Wario shakes them, they wake up and drop a big head of garlic. When awoken, white Bandineros act like a normal red Bandinero.
Golden Bandinero[edit]
Like every other golden enemy in Wario Land: Shake It!, golden Bandineros hold a lot of golden coins. They appear in stages with the mission "Defeat the golden enemy". Their color scheme differs from that of common Bandineros:

Profiles and statistics[edit]
- Website description:
- English (American):
Red Bandineros:
Red Bandineros are all over the place. They're not tough enough to hurt someone as manly as me, so mostly I just shake garlic out of them and throw 'em at stuff.[1]
Yellow Bandineros:
These yellow Bandineros are just like the other ones, but they can jump. Maybe they want to be basketball players?[1]

- Threat:
- The most common baddies Wario encounters in the Shake Dimension are also the most timid. Bandineros are too weak to actually harm Wario, making them more nuisances than threats. Wario can easily dispatch these goons with dashes and butt stomps, and he can also get a lot of use out of them: Bandineros are easily stunned and shaken for garlic, and they can be thrown to hit switches, destroy stone blocks, and defeat enemies from afar.[2]
- NOTE: Most enemies give off garlic when shaken, The only exceptions are golden enemies that exist in certain stages: These rare goons give out coins instead![2]
