'''Noknoks'''<ref name=WonderSekai13>[https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/f6d2505a-dd79-410d-b350-b2b2036213f0 マリオたちの行く手を阻む。フラワー王国の個性豊かな敵キャラクターをご紹介。～その1～【ワンダーの世界へ Vol.13】]. ''Nintendo''. Retrieved January 26, 2024.</ref> are teal enemies with sharp teeth, yellow feet, and purple legs that disguise as [[Warp Door]]s. They are introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' and appear only in [[Light-Switch Mansion]], [[KO Arena Fungi Funk]] and [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage]]. Noknoks do not move in their "calm" state, but when the player approaches a disguised Noknok, the enemy reveals itself by screaming and rushing toward the player (if the player has the Invisibility [[Badge (Super Mario Bros. Wonder)|badge]] equipped, it will simply bounce the player back). It can jump one block and may try to jump to a player on a different platform even if it cannot reach them, only stopping when the player is far away. The enemy can be stunned by being attacked by a character in [[Elephant Mario|Elephant]] or [[Drill Mario|Drill]] form or being stomped. While stunned, players can enter it. Upon doing so, it functions as a Warp Door (and remains as one) or it is defeated and releases a [[coin]]. However, if the player stuns it without interacting with the door, after a while, the enemy will start chasing the player again. Noknoks are impervious to [[fireball]]s and [[bubble]]s, though they can be used to determine if a door is real or not when the projectiles disappear upon making contact with it. Their English name comes from the {{wp|knock-knock joke}}.<ref name=WonderSekai13/>

Some Noknoks can be seen singing and dancing in place during the [[Wonder Effect]] in Light-Switch Mansion and The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage.

An unused variant of Noknoks is present in the game's files. This variant chases the player from further away and stays stunned for longer when attacked.<ref>{{cite|author=Rimea|date=October 30, 2024|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nvMAESRXrE|title=Another Unused Mario Wonder Enemy|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 3, 2024}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
*The Noknok bears a resemblance to the Mimic entity from ''The Backrooms''; both resemble doors and have fanged mouths. However, Noknoks also have visible feet that they use to walk, whereas how the Mimic entity moves is unknown.<ref>https://backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com/entity-400</ref>
