The second in the wooden house tries to pounce on Mario by jumping around the screen. The last one, Bupon,[3] from a brick house attacks by jumping, too, but leaps a bit higher every time.

They have also landed a starring role in the Mario vs. Wario comic, where Wario ordered them to attack Mario with other Super Mario Land 2 enemies. Here, Mario (who was oblivious that Wario's monsters were trying to harm him) mistook them for a bowling game and defeated them by knocking one of them (which he was using as a ball) into the other "pins".
