Porcupo

The Porcupo ( don't confuse it with porcupine) is an enemy in Super Mario Bros 2 and Super Mario Advance. They are purple porcupines. Porcupos harm players if the player touches it. Porcupos are small but can still be seen. These enemies are slow moving. To defeat a Porcupo throw a vegetable at it, or run through it with the Starman effect. Porcupos are rare enemies. They do appear in World 4-2 and World 5-2. In World 4-2 you must be careful; if you pick up the POW Block, you could die by touching the Porcupo.
