Hatopop are an enemy in Super Mario Sunshine.
Profile[]
Physical description[]
Hatopop are comparable to birds within cuckoo clocks. Hatopop have a green body and yellow wooden crisscrossed Ultra Hand-like bars behind it.
Behavior[]
Hatopop are hidden in certain wall indents with no immediate indication of their hidden presence. If Mario goes near a Hatopop, it immediately charges at Mario, knocking him away. After a while, a Hatopop retreats into the wall and disappears.
In Super Mario Sunshine[]
Hatopop are only encountered in Noki Bay. Here, they are found alongside Punchers, which act the same but take on the appearance of a boxing glove. The only way the player can tell a Hatopop is hidden within a wall is by adjusting the camera angle so that it clips into the wall, revealing a question mark that represents the Hatopop. The only way for Mario to not be hit by a Hatopop is by avoiding where they pop out of.
