Bunbun,[1][2][3] also known asBoom Booms,[4] are bee-like enemies first appearing inSuper Mario Land. They soar overhead, wielding spears which they toss as a method of attack.
History[edit]
Super Mario Land[edit]
InSuper Mario Land, Bunbun only appear inWorld 1-2. They fly horizontally from right to left, periodically stopping to drop a spear which can hurtMario. A Bunbun can be defeated from either beingstomped or aSuperball being thrown at them, clipping their wings, sending them crashing to the ground, and awarding the player 800 points either way. Some Bunbun cannot be defeated because they fly at very high altitudes out of reach.
Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]
In theSuper Mario Land manga, Mario faces against two Bunbun in the second stage of theBirabuto Kingdom. Their tossed spears nearly manage to make Mario fall down the platforms, but are easily defeated with one Superball.Mecha Kuribō (Princess Peach in disguise) reacts to their falling bodies in disgust.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
InSuper Mario-kun, Bunbun appear in the last chapter ofvolume 3. They are the firstSuper Mario Land enemies to attack Mario after he comes across them, constantly tossing spears at him. Mario then finds aStar and defeats all of them.
