*They're associated with and probably related the similarly named and behaving [[Bombshell Koopa|Nokobon]]s of ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. The Nokobon Met exposition in the manual of the sequel, ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' even repeats ''Super Mario Land'''s "a turtle with a bomb on its back" description for Nokobon.
*Nokobon Mets are also related to [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, since they're both immune to fireballs, have a similar appearance and even share part of their Japanese name.

A Noko Bombette, from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

A Noko Bombette is a small turtle with a bomb for a shell found in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Mario must try to avoid them, though they mostly appear in tight corridors, making this a difficult task. It is one of the few enemies that cannot be defeated by a Fireball. Instead, they must be jumped upon. However, unless a Spin Jump is used, the attack will cause the Noko Bombette to explode a few seconds after the jump. If Mario is caught in the blast, he will take damage.

Noko Bombette is the spiritual successor of the Nokobon enemies of Super Mario Land (later renamed to Bombshell Koopa), with both even being described verbatim as "a turtle with a bomb on its back" in their respective game manuals. However, while Nokobons are Koopas with bombs for shells, Noko Bombettes more closely resemble Buzzy Beetles, and share their immunity to fireball attacks. Their Japanese name, Nokobon Metto is even a combination of the other two enemies' names (Metto being Buzzy Beetle's name in Japan, while Nokobon was the same in both languages until the English rename).
