Small and weird spaceship A spaceship with a frog-like body and a rather dumb looking shape. It appears on the moon course. It is a nuisance, circling around the same spot, but it can be easily defeated by stomping on it. | ||

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.
