Tatenoko[1] is an enemy in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. These saw-like enemies are encountered in the first stage of the Mario Zone only. Their attack pattern consists of moving around on a set path horizontally, harming Mario on contact. A Tatenoko can be defeated from a Koopa Shell or while invincible.

Throw the Koopa shells. The saw character moves violently in a zigzag pattern, blocking Mario's way. Since it cannot be defeated even if it is blocked by a saw, try to avoid it or hit it with a shell to clear the way. | ||

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.
