A '''Noko Bombette'''<ref>''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Gold Coins'' instruction booklet, page 13.</ref> 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]].

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 Beetle]]s, 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).

Variant of Bombshell Koopa
Buzzy Beetle

A Noko Bombette[1] is a powered-up version[2] of a Bombshell Koopa whose shell has grown so much it evolved into a Buzzy Beetle[3] in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They only appear in the Tree Zone's second stage. Unlike regular Buzzy Beetles, Noko Bombettes turn around when they reach a ledge, but they are still immune to fireballs. Unless a Spin Jump is used, jumping on a Noko Bombette will cause it to stop and explode after a few seconds. If Mario is caught in the blast, he will take damage. Compared to the original Bombshell Koopa from Super Mario Land, it takes slightly longer to explode after a stomp, but has a slightly bigger blast radius.
