Batadons[1][2] are hopping stone head enemies found in the game Super Mario Land. To defeat this enemy, Mario either has to jump on top of it, or shoot three Superballs at it. It acts much like a Fly or Kumo, except it bounces higher, moves slower, and does not pause on the ground. Defeating a Batadon awards them with 800 points. Batadons can also pound through some platforms. They only appear in Worlds 3-1 and 3-3. Batadons closely resemble moai heads, similarly to Tokotokos, other rock-based creatures found in the Easton Kingdom; however, Batadons are the only ones with wings.
In the Super Mario Land manga, a Batadon is the first enemy met in Easton Kingdom, getting angry at Mario for ruining one of the statues and calling the Tokotoko and some other Batadon for backup. However, the moai are easily tricked by Mario who yells "Red light!", making them stop in place. Only when Mario leaves, they realize they've been duped and chase after him. After losing Mario, thanks to a disguise, they finally find him and jump at him, failing to notice he was entangled in a web with a lethal Suu venom about to be poured on him. Getting entangled in the web, the maoi free Mario with their jolts, and are hit by the Venom in his place, melting down.
In Super Mario-kun, some Batadon appear in volume 3 alongside the Tokotoko and their boss Hiyoihoi. Apart from helping their leader and forming a giant rock with the moai, they do nothing relevant.
