Hawkmouth

A Hawkmouth is a head of a hawk in Super Mario Bros 2 and Super Mario Advance. They transport you to a new level. To activate the Hawkmouth you have to grab the crystal ball (use the button you use to grab a vegetable). Once activated, when you near it, it opens its mouth. When you enter the mouth it will close and the character will saya compliment such as "Bravo!" or "Oh, Yeah!" . Most Hawkmouths are harmless, except for the one in World 7-2, the last level of the game. When you activate it, it detaches itself chasing the character. It can hurt you if it touches you. To stun it, you had to grab and throw a mushroom block at it. Hit it three times and it will stop, open its mouth and transport you to Wart's room.
