'''Poinks''', also known as '''Popo''',<ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Official Strategy Guide|page=5|publisher=BradyGAMES|language=en-us|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|date=2002}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=18|date=September 3, 2002|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1}}</ref> are small floating [[pig]]-like creatures found in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Their name likely derives from "oink" and "pink." Poinks almost always appear in groups. A Poink attaches itself to [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]'s nozzle if [[Mario]] is nearby. If the player then squirts [[water]], the Poink will start to expand, and if the player releases the {{button|gcn|R}} button, the Poink will shoot off in whichever direction Mario is facing. [[Jump]]ing on a Poink also causes it to explode. Switching to any nozzle except the Squirt Nozzle prevents Poinks from attaching themselves to FLUDD. Doing so while a Poink is already attached causes the Poink to explode in a small puff of white smoke. If a Poink attaches itself to FLUDD's nozzle while its tank is empty, it will still fill with water and fly off when the {{button|gcn|R}} button is released. Poinks are required to wake [[Petey Piranha]] in [[Petey Piranha Strikes Back|Episode 5]] of [[Bianco Hills]]. In the battle with [[Big Boo (character)|King Boo]] in [[Hotel Delfino]], one of his attacks can cause Poinks to appear. Here, they can be a hindrance, as they temporarily prevent Mario from using FLUDD to defeat other enemies King Boo spawns.
