| Their name comes from the Japanese word「{{ruby|蜘蛛|クモ}}」(''kumo'', "spider"); however, the species is not known as "Kumo" in Japan. It is the only species for which the English name was not the same as or similar to the Japanese name in the original version of ''Super Mario Land'', although some other species were renamed in the English [[Virtual Console]] version.
| | ''Kumo'' (「クモ」) is the Japanese word for "spider"; however, the species is not, in fact, known as "Kumo" in Japan. It is actually the only species for which the English name was not the same as or similar to the Japanese name in the original version of ''Super Mario Land'', although other species were renamed in the [[Virtual Console]] port. |

|
| ==History==
| | Kumos attack in the exact same pattern as a [[Fighter Fly|Fly]], hopping around until it comes in contact with [[Mario]]. A [[jump]] or two [[Superball Mario|Superball]]s can easily defeat it, rewarding Mario with 400 points. |
| ===''Super Mario Land''===
| |
| In ''Super Mario Land'', Kumos are found in [[World 3-2 (Super Mario Land)|World 3-2]] and [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 3-3]]. They attack in the same pattern as a [[Fighter Fly|Fly]], hopping towards Mario. Like a Fly, some of them drop downward from midair when spawned. A Kumo can be defeated with a [[stomp]] or two [[Superball Mario|Superball]]s, rewarding 400 [[point]]s.
| |
|
| |
|
| One Kumo poses as [[Princess Daisy]], which Mario discovers after defeating [[Hiyoihoi]].
| | A Kumo also makes a small appearance in the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Book]]'' [[Pipe Down!]], although only a picture of it appears. |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario'' (Kodansha manga)===
| |
| Kumos appear in the [[Super Mario Land (manga)|''Super Mario Land'' manga]]. After the [[Tokotoko]] and [[Batadon]]s fail in stopping Mario, [[Tatanga]] gives more trust to the spider clan in doing a better job, much to Hiyoihoi's anger. The Kumos prepare a trap for Mario by creating a web, which [[Sue]] pushes him into. Before she pours lethal [[Suu]] venom on him, the Tokotoko and Batadons barge in and fall into the web, freeing Mario and causing them to get hit by the venom instead, which kills them. Mario falls down and is surrounded by the Kumos, which Sue orders to attack him, but Hiyoihoi appears, angered by the replacement and death of his soldiers, and shoots at everyone with a barrage of [[Bullet Biff]]s, killing the Kumos and inadvertently saving Mario.
