| At first, it is invisible. If [[Wario]] comes closer, it appears with a cloud of smoke, but if Wario comes too close to them, it vanishes again with more smoke. These enemies throw [[bomb]]s to attack Wario - up to five can be on the field at a time before the Peek-a-boom ceases fire. Sometimes, Wario needs these bombs to solve puzzles, which let him get to treasures. If Wario uses an [[Earthshake Punch]] when he is close to a Peek-a-boom, he can pick it up and shake it. | | At first, it is invisible.

| |EngA=This Peek-a-boom guy is a real pain. He throws bombs at you, and if you throw them back, he just vanishes! How is that fair?

| **''One of the rarest denizens of the Shake Dimension, Peek-a-booms can appear and vanish at will. They enjoy hurling lit bombs at their prey, which makes for some truly explosive encounters! Peek-a-booms are quick to disappear whenever Wario moves too close, so let loose Earthshake Punches to stun them before closing in. Wario can get a lot of use out of a Peek-a-boom's bombs, too: Snatch them up and then toss them at objects or enemies as you see fit!''<ref name=Prima>{{cite|isbn=978-0-7615-6113-2|author=Stratton, Steve|title=''Wario Land: Shake It!''
