Floating Face
Artwork of a Floating Face, from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
First appearance Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (1992)

Floating Faces[1] are large ball-like floating faces with a mustache. They bear a resemblance to Wario. They are found in Mario's castle in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They bounce around a small room at diagonal angles. They can be killed by jumping on them twice (once in Easy Mode). Mario can also destroy them by a single Spin Jump, regardless of the difficulty level. They appear in a total of three rooms consecutively, with the first room containing one and the latter containing two each. They are the last defense barrier before Mario can finally face Wario.
