Gunions[1][2] are octopus-like enemies appearing only in World 2-3 in Super Mario Land. They have a simple attack pattern and subdue the Marine Pop whenever it comes into range. Gunions explode into two balls if shot twice, and both balls home in on Mario. Defeating a Gunion earns the player 800 points. One Gunion poses as Princess Daisy, which Mario discovers after defeating Dragonzamasu.

Only two Gunions appear in the Super Mario Land manga. The first one is shot down with the Marine Pop's torpedos, but the Gunion splits into two and attempts to lunge at Mario, who dodges the two parts. After defeating Dragonzamasu, Mario hugs the imprisoned Daisy, only for her to then be revealed to be a coiling Gunion, which inks Mario and runs away, laughing.

A green Gunion is among the enemies chasing Mario in the Super Mario Bros. comic "The Fish That Should've Gotten Away."

Profiles[edit]

Super Mario Land[edit]

  • Instruction booklet: The Gunion shakes up and down in the water. Take care because if you hit it with 2 torpedoes, it splits in two and attacks.
  • 3DS Virtual Console manual: The Gunion shakes up and down in the water. Be careful--once you hit it twice with torpedoes, it splits in two and attacks.

An octopus monster floating in the water. If you carelessly defeat it, it will split into two fireballs, which makes it rather dangerous. Try to go around and through it.
