A Kyororo[1] (generically referred to by Prima Games as one-eyed ghosts[2]) is a one-eyed enemy from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins that appears in Pumpkin Zone Level 2 and usually wait in open spaces, repeatedly looking back and forth. If one spots Mario, they will charge at him full speed. Kyororo can be defeated simply by jumping on their heads or shooting a fireball at them, but jumping on them can be difficult due to their speed.
The Kyororo, along with many other enemies in the Pumpkin Zone, are based on monsters from Japanese folklore. The Kyororo comes from hitotsume-kozō (one-eyed boys), troublesome one-eyed boys with large tongues that are said to run around frightening people.

One-eyed monster with a wandering gaze Kyororo looks for Mario with his big single eye. He may be short-sighted for the size of his eye ball, but he doesn't move until he gets close to Mario. But once he spots Mario, he makes a mad dash for him, so be careful. | ||

Names in other languages[edit]
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.
