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.
