Furizo[1] are obstacles in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They are large mechanical spheres with four constantly retracting spikes. They are encountered in Mario's castle. A smaller version called Furiko[1] also exists, and according to artwork, it comes in a different color. Furizo and Furiko are invincible objects that sway back and forth like a pendulum, damaging Mario if hit.

Names in other languagesEdit

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.
