If Mario or Luigi jumps on a Splunkin once, it cracks slightly and increases its movement speed. Jumping on a Splunkin a second time causes it to explode, defeating it and earning points. However, a Ground Pound or a fireball defeats a Splunkin instantly. Splunkins are sometimes found in larger groups. They appear in World 3-Ghost House, World 5-Ghost House, World 7-Ghost House, and World 8-1.
