Floater

Floaters are rare floating creatures that appear in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. They are statue-like beings that Wario can hitch a ride on. They go in the direction the arrow in their head is pointing at, and Wario can control the direction in which they go in by punching it. They are only found in two courses of the game. If Wario falls off the creature, he may tumble into a pit and lose a life. Floaters appear only in Course No. 11 and Course No. 17.

Floaters' design appears to be inspired by the Japanese sculptures of the. These ancient sculptures share the same lidded eyes and general shape as Floaters.
