Masked Ghoul



A Spooky Mask is an enemy in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins '  Pumpkin Zone. It is a walking hockey mask with a dagger stuck in it. Its attack manner is similar to a Goomba's, although stomping Spooky Masks propel Mario upward, whereas Goombas give Mario no extra propulsion upon being jumped on.

Splunkins of New Super Mario Bros. and the Jack O' Goombas of Super Mario Galaxy can be thought of as similar to Spooky Masks, being diminutive, Halloween-themed enemies.

Trivia

 * The hockey mask and zombie-like nature of Spooky Masks may be a reference to Jason Voorhees, the main antagonist of the Friday the 13th film series.
