Porcupuffer is a boss who appears in Mario Pinball Land. It is encountered within the Shipwreck of Frosty Frontier Stage.

In Mario Pinball Land

During its battle, Porcupuffer inflates whenever it is struck by Bob-ombs, leaving it vulnerable to attack from Mario's pinball form. It primarily swims calmly around its lair, but after a certain amount of time has gone by, the fish will extend its spikes and directly home in on Mario to knock him out of the room. For each hit it takes, the fish will summon two Spiny Cheep-Cheeps to aid him in his attacks (or just one if one has already been defeated). These enemies can be defeated by using the pinball flippers to toss a single Bob-omb at them.
