'''Porcupuffer'''<ref>''[[Nintendo Power]]'' issue 185 (November 2004), p. 117</ref> is one of the bosses in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. It is found inside a shipwreck in the [[Frosty Frontier Stage]]. It mainly swims around the ship, but after enough time has passed, it extends the spikes on its body and homes in on [[Mario]] directly to knock him around the room. When hit by [[Bob-omb|cannonball bomb]]s, it inflates, leaving it temporarily vulnerable to Mario's pinball form or a cannonball bomb. Every time it takes a hit, it summons two [[Spiny Cheep Cheep|little puffer]]s to help it attack (or a single new one if one has already been defeated), and the player earns 10,000 [[point]]s. The little puffers can be defeated by flicking a single cannonball bomb at them with the [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s. Hitting Porcupuffer three times defeats it and grants 500,000 points. Once defeated, Porcupuffer leaves behind four [[coin|Yellow Coins]] and [[Blue Coin]]s each and a [[Star Key (Mario Pinball Land)|Star Key]].  

Porcupuffer reappears and is fought again after all the [[Cheep Cheep]]s are defeated in its rematch room in the [[Fiery Stage]]. After Porcupuffer is defeated again, the player earns 1,000,000 points and can obtain a [[Power Star|Star]].
