| | '''Porcupo''' ("Harimannen" in Japan) are black or purple hedgehog-like creatures found uncommonly in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They pace back and forth and are usually in groups of around two or more. To defeat a Porcupo, a player must throw objects at the Porcupo, such as other enemies. Porcupos were also in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', but only in the Japanese E-World Level, Koopahari Desert. |

| '''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.

| Porcupos are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are only encountered in the [[World-e]] level [[Ground Work]]. Porcupos are recolored a shade of blue.
| | Porcupo made only one small appearance in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', with one appearing in the episode "[[On Her Majesty's Sewenr Service]]" as the pet of [[Bowser|Koopfinger]]. When Mario and Luigi invaded Koopfiger's hideout though, this Porcupo simply hopped off Koopfinger's lap and ran away instead of trying to fight Mario and Luigi with [[Mouser (character)|Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]], [[Vampa White]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]]. This Porcupo bears a striking resemblance to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]. |

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.

| | *Although Porcupo never appeared in the series again (outside of the aforementioned E-World level), its successor is [[Harry Hedgehog]] - known in the Japanese version as "Super Harimannen." |
| | *Although unconfirmed, the [[Spiny (hedgehog)|Spinies]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' may be relatives of Porcupo. |
| | *In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', there were only purple Porcupo. |
| | *They resemble [[Harry Hedgehog]]s from [[Super Mario World 2:Yoshi's Island]]. |
