'''Porcupuffers''' (alternatively '''Porcu-Puffers''') are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They resemble gigantic indigo [[Cheep Cheep]]s, with magenta lips and indigo, cyan, and yellow spikes all over their back. Their faces are nearly identical to those of [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]]es and [[Cheep Chomp]]s. Their name is a portmanteau of "porcupine" and "{{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}};" this combined with the Japanese name also suggests an intentional reference to [[Porcupo]].
'''Porcupuffers''' (alternatively '''Porcu-Puffers''') are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They resemble gigantic indigo [[Cheep Cheep]]s, with magenta lips and indigo, cyan, and yellow spikes all over their back. Their faces are nearly identical to those of [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]]es and [[Cheep Chomp]]s, but did not try to eat [[Mario]] until ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Porcupuffers sometimes serve as the giant counterpart to regular Cheep Cheeps, such as in ''Super Mario World'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.  Their name is a portmanteau of "porcupine" and "{{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}};" this combined with the Japanese name also suggests an intentional reference to [[Porcupo]].

Porcu-Puffers are enemies in ''Super Mario World''. They follow Mario and [[Luigi]] in the water. The Mario Bros. can perform the [[Spin Jump]] on them to "ride" them, or use [[Yoshi]]. They appear in three levels: [[Vanilla Secret 3|the third secret level]] on top of the [[Vanilla Dome]], a secret area in the [[Cookie Mountain]] level, and a hidden area within [[Chocolate Island 1]]. Unlike the [[mine|Floating Mine]]s, they are vulnerable to [[fireball]]s and [[Cape Mario|Cape]] swipes. The in-game sprite depicts them with magenta lips, while the artwork depicts them with yellow lips.

Porcupuffers are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They attack exactly the same as the [[Spike Bass]] in [[New Super Mario Bros.|the predecessor]], swimming near the surface to pursue the plumber and his party or even leaping from the water to attack. Porcupuffers serve as [[Enemy Course|obstacles]] for [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4]], and they appear again in [[World 6-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-5]] and later in [[World 9-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-2]]. They can only be defeated with a fireball, [[Super Star|Star]], or [[Koopa Shell]]; another one will come to take its place several seconds later. This also occurs in the Enemy Courses, although the replacement occurs much quicker. They can also be frozen, but they crack out almost instantly, much like a [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]].

The Porcupuffers in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' are depicted similarly as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and behave like in said game, even with a three-dimensional perspective being added. The Porcupuffers in [[World 6-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6-1]] behave differently because they jump out of the water and destroy fragile bridge segments upon crashing into them.<ref>{{cite|author=ƒ r u 7 7 y|date=November 19, 2022|timestamp=01:41|url=youtu.be/IZKNE6TdExs?feature=shared&t=101|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' 6-1 All Star Medals Coins Walkthrough 100% Guide スーパーマリオ 3ランド Citra Canary SM3DL|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|date=November 13, 2011|quote=Porcupuffers can smash through cracked planks, so be particularly cautious when you spot one of these locations.|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-89386-4|page=78}}</ref>
Porcupuffers are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They retain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Porcupuffers swim back and forth while underwater in water-based levels, while in [[World 6-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6-1]], they jump out of the water in specific locations attempting to hurt Mario, and may even break some portions of the bridge he uses to reach the end of the level. Aside from the bridge-breaking, these behaviors are shared by this game's Cheep Cheeps, making them functionally similar to a [[Big Cheep Cheep|Mega Cheep-Cheep]] in this game, albeit with spikes.

Porcupuffers are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They are placeable in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style only, despite appearing in ''Super Mario World''. Unlike in the original game, Porcupuffers will actively pursue Mario and attempt to eat him, like a Cheep Chomp. In non-underwater themes, they will act like a slow Boss Bass, briefly hovering at their jumps' peaks if they are given wings. It takes four consecutive fireballs from [[Fire Mario]] to defeat Porcupuffers. After one fireball, it will darken, puff up slightly, and no longer try to eat Mario, though it will still pursue him. Each fireball afterwards makes it more red and swollen. Once defeated, it will not be replaced by another, unlike most appearances. Porcupuffers explode when defeated, which will destroy any nearby [[Brick Block]]s. Akin to regular Cheep Cheeps, a Porcupuffer will catch fire if submerged in lava, therefore becoming immune to fireballs. They cannot be placed in pipes.
