'''Splunkins'''<ref>[[Nintendo Power]] ''New Super Mario Bros.'' guide, p. 11</ref> are jack-o-lantern enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Their name is likely a pun on "spelunking" and "punkin", which is slang for "pumpkin". They walk left and right. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] jumps on a Splunkin once, it cracks slightly and increases its movement speed. [[Jump]]ing on a Splunkin a second time causes it to explode, defeating it and earning [[point]]s. However, a [[Ground Pound]] or a [[fireball]] defeats a Splunkin instantly. Splunkins are sometimes found in larger groups. They appear in {{world-link|3|ghostn|World 3-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{world-link|5|ghostn|World 5-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{world-link|7|ghostn|World 7-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, and [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-1]].
A '''Splunkin'''<ref>[[Nintendo Power]] ''New Super Mario Bros.'' guide, p. 11</ref> is a jack-o-lantern enemy in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They walk left and right in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]] courses and some of the earlier [[Ghost House]]s. If [[Mario]] jumps upon a Splunkin once, it will crack a bit and will increase its speed. Another hit will make it explode, defeating it and earning points. The Splunkin is a relatively small and harmless enemy, though they are sometimes found in larger groups. Their name is a pun on the word "Spelunking".
