Pipe Fists[1] are enemies in Super Mario Land. They emerge from pipes, similarly to Piranha Plants, except Pipe Fists move quicker and are immune to the Sky Pop's missiles. They behave as a group—when one fist goes back into a pipe, the other comes out shortly after. Only two Pipe Fists normally appear in World 4-3, but in the Expert Level, a third Pipe Fist appears in the first pipe to the left, in front of the 18 coins.
In the Super Mario Land manga, a Pipe Fist is shown in the characters list and is the only enemy not to be named. In the story, Pipe Fists do not appear.
In Super Mario-kun, a Pipe Fist can be seen in volume 3 alongside other Super Mario Land enemies, and it is then briefly seen punching Yoshi. Presumably, it gets defeated by Invincible Mario.
