'''Splunkins'''<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Player's Guide''|page=11|date=2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3}}</ref> are jack-o'-lantern [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Splunkins are encountered in {{world-link|3|ghostn|World 3-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{world-link|5|ghostn|World 5-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{world-link|7|ghostn|World 7-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, and [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-1]]. They walk along the ground like [[Goomba]]s. When Splunkins are [[stomp]]ed, the cracks on their bodies deepen and they walk faster. Stomping one a second time defeats the Splunkin. [[Ground Pound|Ground-pound]]ing Splunkins or striking them with [[fireball]]s defeats them in one hit. Their English name is a portmanteau of "spelunking" (meaning exploring a cave) and "punkin" (a regional slurring of the word "pumpkin").
'''Splunkins'''<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|page=11|date=May 15, 2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3}}</ref> are sentient pumpkin [[List of enemies|enemies]] with green feet that appeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Their name is likely a pun on "spelunking" and "punkin," which is slang for "pumpkin," given they are based on jack-o-lanterns. Splunkins are encountered in {{world-link|3|ghostn|World 3-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{world-link|5|ghostn|World 5-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{world-link|7|ghostn|World 7-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, and [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-1]]. They walk left and right in a similar fashion of a [[Goomba]]'s movements, and if a Splunkin is [[stomp]]ed, it cracks slightly and increases its movement speed. If a Splunkin is stomped again, it explodes, rendering it defeated. A Splunkin can be 1-shot defeated from either a [[Ground Pound]] or a [[fireball]].
