'''Punches''' are small creatures that oppose [[Wario]]. They wear football helmets that conceal their entire body and wield a pair of boxing gloves to attack their opponents. Because of their appearance, their size and their association with the [[Black Sugar Pirates]], it is likely that they are in fact a sub-species of the [[Goom]]s. Punches have only appeared in [[Wario Land 2]] so far.
