Bunbun,[1][2][3] also known as Boom Booms,[4] are bee-like enemies appearing only in World 1-2 in Super Mario Land. They soar overhead, dropping their spears on Mario. A Bunbun can be defeated from either being stomped or a Superball being thrown at them, clipping their wings, sending them crashing to the ground, and awarding the player 800 points either way. Some Bunbun cannot be defeated because they fly at very high altitudes out of reach.

In the Super Mario Land manga, Mario faces against two Bunbun in the second stage of Birabuto. Their tossed spears nearly manage to make Mario fall down the platforms, but are easily defeated with one Superball. Mecha Kuribō (Princess Peach in disguise) reacts to their falling bodies in disgust.

In Super Mario-kun, Bunbun appear in the last chapter of volume 3. They are the first Super Mario Land enemies to attack Mario after he comes across them, constantly tossing spears at him. Mario then finds a Star and defeats all of them.
