They are found only in Beware: Jagged Spikes, where they appear from certain blocks with a coin before bouncing around. A Jack-in-the-Box can be defeated from either a jump or a fireball.

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.
| Language | Name | Meaning | Notes |

| Japanese | ビロロン[4][5] Biroron |
From「ビロン」(biron), a term for the stretching out of a tongue; may also incorporate「ピエロ」(Piero, "Pierrot") | |
| Italian | Pupazzo a molla[6] | Jack-in-the-box, literally translates as "spring puppet" | |
