Poinks, also known as Popo,[1][2] are small floating pig-like creatures found in Super Mario Sunshine. Their name likely derives from "oink" and "pink." Poinks almost always appear in groups. A Poink attaches itself to FLUDD's nozzle if Mario is nearby. If the player then squirts water, the Poink will start to expand, and if the player releases the button, the Poink will shoot off in whichever direction Mario is facing. Jumping on a Poink also causes it to explode. Switching to any nozzle except the Squirt Nozzle prevents Poinks from attaching themselves to FLUDD. Doing so while a Poink is already attached causes the Poink to explode in a small puff of white smoke. If a Poink attaches itself to FLUDD's nozzle while its tank is empty, it will still fill with water and fly off when the button is released. Poinks are required to wake Petey Piranha in Episode 5 of Bianco Hills. In the battle with King Boo in Hotel Delfino, one of his attacks can cause Poinks to appear. Here, they can be a hindrance, as they temporarily prevent Mario from using FLUDD to defeat other enemies King Boo spawns.
Poinks have no other appearances, though their name is one of the default high scores in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Golf: Advance Tour.
A variety of this enemy called a Smeech appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
