Marikuri is a disguise Mario and his friends take in Super Mario-kun.
It debuts as a Yoshi transformation in chapter 10 Volume 10: when Yoshi is attacked by a group of Pirate Gooms, he gets stabbed by one of the spears and is turned into one of them. The effects of the transformation seemingly ends after the Gooms are defeated.
In the bonus chapter of Volume 13, Mario, Wario, and Yoshi disguise themselves as Pirate Gooms to pass through a party of the Brown Sugar Pirates, but one drunk Pirate Goom asks them if they are the entertainment team. To not be suspicious, the trio goes on stage to perform a three-way manzai. However, Yoshi's insulting jokes anger the audience, and a Gaugau jumps on stage to lighten the mood by throwing knives at Mario. Seeing Yoshi act more suspiciously, especially when he devours the buffet with his long tongue, the Gaugau then rips their disguises off and a chase ensues.
