Noko Bombette



A Noko Bombette is a turtle with a bomb for a shell found in Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Mario must try to avoid them, even though they mostly appear in tight corridors. It is one of the few enemies that cannot be defeated by a Superball. A jump is the only way to defeat it, though it will explode a few seconds after the jump. If Mario is caught in the blast, he will take damage.

It's possible they're related to Koopas, Buzzy Beetles, or not even living at all. They also seem to be related to the more turtle-like but similarly named Nokobons of their only appearance's prequel, who share an attack pattern with them; as a matter of fact, Super Mario Land 2 even repeats Super Mario Land ' s "a turtle with a bomb on its back" description for Nokobon in its manual's Noko Bombette description, likely as a reference.
