Karamenbo[1] are enemies in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. These Thwomp-like enemies 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 defeated, only avoided. Bigbees from earlier in the game have the same behavior.

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.
