A Noko Bombette[1][2] is an enemy in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins. It is a powered-up version[3] of a Bombshell Koopa whose shell has grown so much it evolved into a Buzzy Beetle.[4]

History[edit]

Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins[edit]

They make their only appearance in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins, located in only one course, the Tree Zone's Tree Trunk Course. Noko Bombettes turn around upon reaching ledges, unlike Buzzy Beetles, and fireballs do not affect them. If stomped, a Noko Bombette stops moving and explodes a few seconds later, damaging Mario if touched.

Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]

In the second chapter of the Super Mario Land 2 - 6-tsu no Kinka 1 volume of the Super Mario Kodansha manga, a group of Moofishes attacks Mario, Princess Peach, and Battle Beetle as they swim in sap. As they reach the "shore", the trio are attacked by Noko Bombettes, but they throw them at the Moofishes, causing their explosion into cooked steaks.

In Super Mario Land 2 - 6-tsu no Kinka 3, a Noko Bombette can be seen as one of the several enemies that Mario and Luigi quickly pass by inside Wario's Castle.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

In chapter 2 of volume 7 of Super Mario-kun, after surviving a Moofish, Mario gets sting by a spike and, sitting down to ease the pain, sits on a Noko Bombette which ignites and explodes.
