Poinks almost always appear in groups. When [[Mario]] gets near them, one of the Poinks attaches itself to [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]'s nozzle. If the player then squirts water, the Poink will start to expand, and if the player releases the {{button|gcn|R}} button, the Poink will shoot off in the direction Mario was facing. Poinks are helpful in one of the episodes against [[Petey Piranha]] in [[Bianco Hills]]. [[Jump]]ing on a Poink also causes it to explode. | Poinks almost always appear in groups.

Here, they can be a hindrance, as they temporarily prevent Mario from using FLUDD to defeat other enemies King Boo spawns. | ||
Switching to any nozzle except the Squirt Nozzle prevents Poinks from attaching themselves to FLUDD. Doing so while a Poink is already attached causes the Poink to explode in a small puff of white smoke. If a Poink attaches itself to FLUDD's nozzle while its tank is empty, it will still fill with water and fly off when the {{button|gcn|R}} button is released. | Switching to any nozzle except the Squirt Nozzle prevents Poinks from attaching themselves to FLUDD.
