Porcupuffer^[1] is aboss inMario Pinball Land. It is found inside a shipwreck in theFrosty Frontier Stage. It mainly swims around the ship, but after enough time has passed, it extends the spikes on its body and homes in onMario directly to knock him around the room. When hit bycannonball bombs orInvincible Mario, Porcupuffer inflates, leaving it temporarily vulnerable to Mario's pinball form or a cannonball bomb. Every time Porcupuffer takes a hit, it summons twolittle puffers to help it attack (or a single new one if one has already been defeated), and the player earns 10,000points. The little puffers can be defeated by flicking a single cannonball bomb at them with theflippers. Hitting Porcupuffer three times defeats it and grants 500,000 points. Once defeated, Porcupuffer leaves behind fourYellow Coins, fourBlue Coins, and aStar Key.

Porcupuffer reappears and is fought again after all theCheep Cheeps are defeated in its rematch room in theFiery Stage. At the start of this fight, two little puffers appear with Porcupuffer. After Porcupuffer is defeated again, the player earns 1,000,000 points and can obtain aStar.
