A Bero[1] (generically referred to by Nintendo Power as spook heads[2]) is an enemy in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They reside in the Pumpkin Zone's second level. Bero resemble Japanese paper lanterns and are based on the chōchin-obake, a paper lantern that comes alive on its one hundredth "birthday" in Japanese mythology. Their attack method involves them sticking out their tongues. Bero cannot be destroyed, but they can be used as platforms to step on.
Bero is seen giving bad food to Wario in volume 8 of Super Mario-kun.
