In Super Mario Bros (original), there were two kinds of turtles.
Green ones (fell) and red ones (turned around).

There were also winged turtles.  When you stomped them, they lost their
wings, and would walk around.  Similarly, there were green verisons
and red versions.  They simply changed from winged green or red, to
normal green or red, and would walk/fall as expected...


I like that we can flag the enemy to do such a thing, but it'd be nice to
make them LOOK slightly different, to give a hint to the player.
("Okay, he's gonna fall in a sec.!")  If they look the same,
the player will be confused.  ("HEY!  Why didn't he FALL!?  It's a bug!")
