'''Unibō''' are nearly indestructible spiky round enemies that inhabit flying and swimming areas. They appear in the [[Hippo (level)|Hippo]] stage and the [[Turtle Zone (level)|second level]] of the [[Turtle Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', where they can only be defeated by a [[Super Star|Star]] or [[Koopa Troopa]] [[shell]].
