Official artwork of a Gao.
A Gao is a fire-breathing, sphinx-like enemy found within the borders of the Birabuto Kingdom in Super Mario Land. They stay in one place and shoot fireballs at Mario. These fireballs can even be shot backwards, and therefore Mario is not safe while they are on the screen. As with most enemies, they die after a single jump or superball, awarding Mario with 400 points. King Totomesu may be the ruler of Gaos. They are only seen in Level 1-3 or Level 1-1 on hard mode. In appearance, they look like a mix between a pyramid sphinx and a lion.
