-'''Poinks''' are small floating [[pig]]-like creatures found in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They almost always appear in groups. When [[Mario]] gets near them, one of the Poinks will attach itself to [[F.L.U.D.D.]]'s nozzle. If the player then squirts water, they will start to expand, and if the player releases the R button, the Poink will shoot off in the direction Mario was facing. They are helpful in one of the episodes against [[Petey Piranha]] in [[Bianco Hills]]. Jumping on a Poink will also cause it to explode.
+==History==
+===''Super Mario Sunshine''===

+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.

+In the battle with [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]] in [[Hotel Delfino]], one of his attacks can cause Poinks to appear. Here, they can be a hindrance, as they temporarily prevent Mario from using FLUDD to defeat other enemies King Boo spawns.
-In the battle with [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]] in [[Hotel Delfino]], one of the ghost's attacks can cause Poinks to appear.
-Switching to any nozzle except the Squirt Nozzle prevents Poinks from attaching themselves to F.L.U.D.D..
+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.
+===''Mario Golf'' series===
+Poink's name appears as one of the default high scores in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]''.

-*If Mario presses the X button to change from the [[Squirt Nozzle]] to the [[Hover Nozzle]] (or any other nozzle for that matter) while a Poink is attached to F.L.U.D.D.'s nozzle, the Poink will explode in a small puff of white smoke.
