- “This sturdy creature drops down and pursues Wario. Wario can get a lift on its flat top”
- —Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 instruction booklet, page 19
Pouncers[1] are stone creatures from Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. They look and behave almost exactly like Thwomps, except they have no spikes on their tops. Wario can hop up on them as a platform to cross gaps.
If a Pouncer lands on an enemy, it turns into a 10 Gold Coin for Wario to collect. On the other hand, contact with a Pouncer's spikes instantly causes the loss of a life.
