[[Jack O'Goomba]], an enemy type appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', is a [[Goomba]] with a jack-o'-lantern mounted on its head. The pumpkin fully protects the Goomba from [[stomp]] attacks and allows the enemy to easily bounce back from one [[spin]] attack, though it shatters in the process. Regardless, the enemy can instantly be defeated with a [[Ground Pound]] or by touching it while in [[Rainbow Mario|Rainbow form]]. | [[Jack O' Goomba]], an enemy type appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', is a [[Goomba]] with a jack-o'-lantern mounted on its head.

''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' features a large, blocky type of pumpkin in the course [[Upshroom Downshroom]]. Appearing in various sizes, these pumpkins are typically stacked on top of each other, acting as platforms and walls for both the player character and the enemies. In this game, the player character can destroy a pumpkin with a [[Ground Pound]], by jumping or [[Drill Mario|drilling]] into it from below, or by smacking it with their trunk while in [[Elephant Mario|Elephant form]]. In doing so, the pumpkin usually releases a number of [[coin]]s, which can vary from one pumpkin to another; one pumpkin releases a [[Talking Flower]] instead. At the end of the course, there are several pumpkins placed in staircase formation that can help the player character reach the top of the [[Goal Pole]]. | |||
During the course's [[Wonder Effect]] sequence, pumpkins become jack-o'-lanterns. In this instance, many of them are bounced into the air by moving [[Mushroom Platform]]s. The player can interact with them the same as with regular pumpkins, but throughout much of this sequence, they do not produce anything when destroyed, the only exceptions being the two jack-o'-lanterns to the sides of the [[Wonder Seed]], which release coins. If a bouncing jack-o'-lantern is destroyed, another is launched from below the course to replace it soon after the player character leaves its range of movement. | |||
