Bunbun,[1][2][3] also known as Boom Booms,[4] are bee-like enemies first appearing in Super Mario Land. They soar overhead, wielding spears which they toss as a method of attack.

History

Super Mario Land

In Super Mario Land, Bunbun only appear in World 1-2. They fly horizontally from right to left, periodically stopping to drop a spear which can hurt Mario. A Bunbun can be defeated from either being stomped or a Superball being thrown at them, clipping their wings, sending them crashing to the ground, and awarding the player 800 points either way. Some Bunbun cannot be defeated because they fly at very high altitudes out of reach.

Super Mario Kodansha manga

In the Super Mario Land manga, 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. Mecha Kuribō (Princess Peach in disguise) reacts to their falling bodies in disgust.

Super Mario-kun

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.
