Splunkin

Splunkins are an enemy which only appear in New Super Mario Bros..
==Profile==
===Physical description===
Splunkins are jack-o-lantern enemies with stubby green feet.
===Behavior===
The size and behavior of a Splunkin is comparable to a Goomba, the latter being in that starts out walking at a slow pace, but if Mario or Luigi stomps a Splunkin's head, it cracks, and the Splunkin begins moving around faster. Mario or Luigi can stomp a Splunkin a second time to defeat it. A Splunkin can be defeated instantly by either Ground Pounding it or from the effects of a Fire Flower, Blue Shell, Mega Mushroom, or a Starman. While Mario or Luigi is under the effects of a Mini Mushroom, they instead have to perform two Ground Pounds to defeat a Splunkin.
Jack O' Goombas from Super Mario Galaxy are similar to Splunkins, as they are also Goomba-like pumpkin enemies requiring two hits to defeat.
==In New Super Mario Bros.==
Splunkins are encountered in four levels, three of which are Ghost Houses: World 3-Ghost House, World 5-Ghost House, World 7-Ghost House, and World 8-1; the latter is their only outdoor level appearance, where Crowbers often fly around one.

==Trivia==
*World 4-Ghost House is the only Ghost House in New Super Mario Bros. in which Splunkins do not appear as enemies.
