Pionpi

Pionpi is an enemy found in Super Mario Land appearing in the Chai Kingdom found on Sarasaland. These enemies constantly try to attack Mario by sneaking up on him. Mario can stop them temporarily by jumping on them, but they become darker and quicker every few times it is done so, similar to how Dry Bones resurrects after every jump. They can be fully defeated by being lured by Mario who must take them off the level or use two superballs.
