Bunbun,[1][2][3] also known as Boom Booms,[4] are bee-like enemies that reside in the Birabuto Kingdom of Super Mario Land. They soar overhead, dropping their spears on Mario. Jumping or shooting a Superball at them clips their wings, sending them crashing to the ground and awarding Mario 800 points. Some Bunbun fly at very high altitudes out of reach, making their defeat virtually impossible. They only appear in World 1-2.

In the Super Mario Land, Mario faces against two Bunbun in the second stage of Birabuto. Their tossed spears nearly manage to make Mario fall down the platforms, but are easily defeated with one Superball. Mekakuribō (Princess Peach in disguise) reacts to their falling bodies in disguise.

In Super Mario-kun, Bunbun appear in the last chapter of volume 3. They are the first Super Mario Land enemies to attack Mario after he comes across them, constantly tossing spears at him. Mario then finds a Star and defeats all of them.
