A '''Noko Bombette'''<ref>''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Gold Coins'' instruction booklet, page 13.</ref> is a small turtle with a bomb for a shell found in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. [[Mario]] must try to avoid them, though they mostly appear in tight corridors, making this a difficult task. It is one of the few enemies that cannot be defeated by a [[Fireball]]. Instead, they must be [[jump]]ed upon. However, unless a [[Spin Jump]] is used, the attack will cause the Noko Bombette to explode a few seconds after the jump. If Mario is caught in the blast, he will take damage.

A '''Noko Bombette'''<ref>''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' English instruction booklet, page 13.</ref> is a powered-up version<ref name=Daijiten/> of a [[Bombshell Koopa]] whose shell has grown so much it evolved into a [[Buzzy Beetle]]<ref>{{media link|SMBD page 40.png|Page 40}} of 「スーパーマリオ{{hover|大図鑑|だいずかん}}」 (''Super Mario Bros. Daizukan'', or "''Super Mario Great Picture Book''") states of Nokobon Met: 「ノコボンの{{hover|甲羅|こうら}}が{{hover|大|おお}}きくなって、メットに{{hover|進化|しんか}}した。」 (''Nokobon's shell has grown so much, it evolved into a Met.'')</ref> in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. They only appear in the [[Tree Zone]]'s [[In the Trees|second stage]]. Unlike regular Buzzy Beetles, Noko Bombettes turn around when they reach a ledge, but they are still immune to [[fireball]]s. Unless a [[Spin Jump]] is used, [[jump]]ing on a Noko Bombette will cause it to stop and explode after a few seconds. If [[Mario]] is caught in the blast, he will take damage. Compared to the original Bombshell Koopa from ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', it takes slightly longer to explode after a [[stomp]], but has a slightly bigger blast radius.


Noko Bombette is the spiritual successor of the Nokobon enemies of ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' (later renamed to [[Bombshell Koopa]]), with both even being described verbatim as "a turtle with a bomb on its back" in their respective game manuals. However, while Nokobons are Koopas with bombs for shells, Noko Bombettes more closely resemble [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, and share their immunity to fireball attacks. Their Japanese name, ''Nokobon Metto'' is even a combination of the other two enemies' names (''Metto'' being Buzzy Beetle's name in Japan, while ''Nokobon'' was the same in both languages until the English rename).
