Chikunto[1] are enemies in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They are a variety of ants that produces spikes from their body if Mario is nearby, damaging him if he jumps on those spikes. A Chikunto eventually retracts its spikes, at which point it can defeated from being stomped. Chikunto can be defeated by a fireball, either way. Chikunto are encountered in only one course—the Manhole Course of the Macro Zone.

Names in other languages[edit]
Unlike most mainline Super Mario titles, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins did not receive officially localized enemy indexes at the time of its release on the Game Boy and not all enemies are listed in its instruction booklets. Consequentially, most available non-Japanese names come from localizations of the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia.
