The octopus (referred to by [[Mario]] as a '''monster octopus''') also appears in the ''[[Mario vs. Wario]]'' comic, which is a loose adaptation of ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''. It attempts to attack Mario while he is crossing a lake, but is stopped when Mario asks what an octopus, a saltwater creature, is doing in a freshwater lake. The octopus ponders this and then exclaims that must be why it has not been feeling well. Mario offers to pour some salt in the water for the octopus, but accidentally pours sugar instead. It is last seen lying face down in the water, unmoving. | The octopus (referred to by [[Mario]] as a '''monster octopus''') also appears in the ''[[Mario vs. Wario]]'' comic, which is a loose adaptation of ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''.

History
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
The octopus is the boss of Turtle Zone in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, and is located in the belly of a whale. It will attack Mario by swimming around releasing its offspring. The little ones slowly home in on Mario and pass him by, while the parent swims left and right across the arena. In order to defeat the octopus, Mario has to hit its head three times, which can be difficult, as the entire battle with the octopus takes place underwater. Alternatively, Fire Mario can defeat the octopus with six fireballs. The smaller octopodes cannot be harmed, and are the most dangerous threat in the battle. Once defeated, Mario will gain one of the six Golden Coins needed to take back his castle from Wario.
Mario vs. Wario
The octopus (referred to by Mario as a monster octopus) also appears in the Mario vs. Wario comic, which is a loose adaptation of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. It attempts to attack Mario while he is crossing a lake, but is stopped when Mario asks what an octopus, a saltwater creature, is doing in a freshwater lake. The octopus ponders this and then exclaims that must be why it has not been feeling well. Mario offers to pour some salt in the water for the octopus, but accidentally pours sugar instead. It is last seen lying face down in the water, unmoving.
