The Muteki Kyodai Pakkun (無敵巨大 パックン, "Invincible Giant Piranha Plant") is the first original enemy faced in the Super Mario-kun manga, met in the second chapter of volume 1. It presents itself like a normal Piranha Plant, leading, under Bowser's order, a group of Jumping Piranha Plants. After Mario defeats them with a SNES Nunchaku, the Piranha Plant reveals its real form: it has a big and robust stem and roots, its head becomes bigger, and its colors become inverted with its spots shaped like explosion effects. It also has a snout and big eyes. It first spits exploding seeds, hurting Luigi and Yoshi. Mario tries to attack it, but he fails, getting slapped by its leaves and sprayed with a bug spray. Preparing a punch, the Piranha Plant gets immobilized by Mario when he presses The Piranha Plant bashes them with its iron roots and, preparing to eat them, it laughs, revealing a sticker in its throat where "weak point" is written. Mario and Yoshi then use a secret technique they self-learned and dive into its mouth, drilling a hole in its head, finally killing it. | ||||||||||
