'''Porcupos''' are small, spiked creatures first appearing in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They are occasionally called {{wp|porcupine}}s but have a greater resemblance to {{wp|hedgehog}}s as indicated by their Japanese name.

Porcupos are enemies in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. They pace back and forth and are usually in groups of two or more. They cannot be jumped on or picked up, so players must throw other enemies or objects at Porcupos to defeat them. Unlike other enemies, Porcupos have a four-frame walking animation, made by moving the front two 8x8 pixel tiles around, thus also using only half as many actual graphics as most other enemies. Their artwork shows them with white faces and red noses, though in game, they have tan faces and gray noses instead, despite how the artwork's colors would be mapped accurately to the game's red palette. Additionally, they have visible ears, which are not shown in their artwork. Their feet are also colored the same as their body in their original sprites, though the original game's manual depicts a screenshot of one with tan-colored feet (likely from a prototypical build). In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' remakes, Porcupos are purple and have a two-frame walk animation with separate sprites, like most other enemies.

In this game, porcupines have more pronounced spines, a blue face, beady eyes, and brown legs. They are encountered in [[N64 Yoshi Valley|Yoshi Valley]], sidling back and forth in the middle of the road in certain paths. Any rather who touches a porcupine will have their [[kart]] spin out out contact. The porcupines do not return in the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' rendition of the course, being replaced with [[Goomba]]s instead.
