Pionpi

Pionpi are strange, Chinese-like ghouls found only in Super Mario Land. Found in the Chai Kingdom, they will constantly jump on Mario. They can be temporarily stopped by being jumped on, which will also award Mario with 800 points, but to actually destroy them he had to lure them off the level or shoot them with a superball.

Appearances in Other Media
In the Super Mario Land comics published by Valiant Comics, a Pionpi was shown to be Tatanga's second-in-command. In the issue "Team Play", this Pionpi leads Tatanga's invasion of the Great Wall of China and is also the only one of Tatanga's Elite Squadron to protest Herman Smirch's joining of Tatanga's forces.
