'''Honen''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|page=15|date=1989|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}.</ref> also known as '''Honhen'''<ref name=NintendoPower>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|date=1991|page=5|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref> or '''Bone Fish''',<ref name=NintendoPower/> are enemies in [[Sarasaland]] that appear in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. According to the game's instruction manual, they are the skeletons of [[Torion]] eaten by [[Tatanga]].
==History==
===''Super Mario Land''===
Honen [[jump]] vertically out of the waters of the [[Muda Kingdom]] at regular intervals. They are one of two undead enemies to appear in the game, the other being [[Pionpi]]. They can easily be defeated by stomping on their heads or by simply standing above them, or by hitting them with a [[Superball Mario|Superball]]. Defeating one is worth 100 points. Honen appear in [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Land)|World 2-1]] and [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 2-3]].

===''Super Mario Land'' (manga)===
In the ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' manga, Tatanga creates three Honen after eating some Torion that dared to make jokes about his relationship with Daisy, which he then sends to Muda Kingdom. While avoiding two of the Honen, Mario is bitten by the third one on the bottom. The pain makes him jump out of his pants, leaving him naked and exposed, flustering [[Mecha Kuribō (character)|Mecha Kuribō]] (who is [[Princess Peach]] in disguise). Mario then retrieves his overalls and stomps on the enemy.

==Trivia==
*Honens are one of the few variants of enemies to appear before the base enemy, with the level introducing them (the first stage of the [[Muda Kingdom]]) being two levels before the [[Torion]]'s debut level (the Muda Kingdom's boss stage).
*Although their description in the manual states that they can resist superballs, Honens are actually vulnerable to them.
