Below is a series of sample enemies, ranked in order of ascending difficulty. In general pacing the difficulty of Smash Quest is more an issue of enemy versatility and intelligence and challenges of the Questers' resourcefulness than in raw numbers; a question of having an encounter with one Hammer Bro, for example, versus an encounter involving several standing on either side of a canyon and pouring hammers down on the Questers while they fight a Boom Boom.
