Karamenbo[1] are Thwomp-like obstacles appearing in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They are huge spiked cylinders made up of four independently spinning segments that crash down from above when Mario draws near, before slowly rising to the ceiling. They appear only in Mario's castle, and they cannot be destroyed, only avoided. Bigbees from earlier in the game have the same behavior.

The spiked Thwomp in Wario Castle. It is difficult to pass through the line of painful-looking Karamenbo, but you can clear the path by running through them with a B dash.
