| | A [[Nokobon]] is a black [[Koopa|Koopa-like]] creature found in the game ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. Nokobons explode shortly after being stomped. They have bombs as shells, hence the explosion. They replace Koopa Troopas in Super Mario Land, as it would've taken longer to program the richochet effects of Koopa shells on the Game Boy. They are called Nokobons in the US due to poor localization, as Super Mario World was rushed to the US to be sold with the [[Game Boy]]. Nokobons reappear in [[Super Mario Land 2]], although in less frequency. Here they're called [[Noko Bombette|Noko Bombettes]]. |

They are the most common enemy in ''Super Mario Land'', appearing in all levels except for [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Land)|Worlds 2-3]] (the [[Marine Pop]] level) and [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Land)|4-3]] (the [[Sky Pop]] level). Like red-shelled Koopa Troopas, Bombshell Koopas do not walk off of edges, but merely pace back and forth on the platform. Bombshell Koopas are not immune to [[Superball Mario|Superball]]s, and they explode shortly after being [[stomp]]ed. They do not explode if a Superball is used on them. They are somewhat similar to the recurring [[Bob-omb]]s, except they cannot be moved and their blast radius is small and cannot take out other enemies and obstacles.

|
| In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', normal Koopa Troopas appear as enemies, and Bombshell Koopas themselves are succeeded by a [[Buzzy Beetle]]-like variant, [[Noko Bombette]], whose name is a reference to the original Nokobon.

| In the ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' manga, Bombshell Koopas are the second enemy type met by [[Mario]] and [[Mecha Kuribō (character)|Mecha Kuribō]] (after the [[Goombo]]s). Mario stomps on them and they turn into bombs, confusing Mario enough to get hit by their explosions. In the last chapter, a Goombo steals a magical seal from the [[Chai Kingdom]] temple that prevented it from being attacked by [[Pionpi]], and tosses it to an exploding Bombshell Koopa, destroying it, in the hope that the Pionpi bite the heroes sheltered in the palace.

| | |
| In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', a Bombshell Koopa appears in the second level of the [[microgame]] [[Super Mario Land (WarioWare Gold)|Super Mario Land]].
