'''Bunbuns''' are bee-like enemies that reside in the [[Birabuto Kingdom]] of ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. They soar overhead, then drop their spears on [[Mario]]. [[Jump]]ing or shooting a [[superball]] at them would clip their wings, sending them crashing to the ground and awarding Mario 800 points. Some Bunbuns fly at very high altitudes out of reach, making their defeat virtually impossible. They only appear in World 1-2.
In the ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' manga, Mario faces against two Bunbun in the second stage of Birabuto. Their tossed spears nearly manage to make Mario fall down the platforms, but are easily defeated with one Superball. [[Mecha Kuribō (character)|Mecha Kuribō]] ([[Princess Peach]] in disguise) reacts to their falling bodies in disgust.


It is interesting to note that when Mario stomped a Bunbun, it would instantaneously turn into a skeleton; this means that, unlike many enemies, it is very obvious the Bunbun have died. This is not typical of most Mario games and is therefore a unique trait.
In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Bunbun appear in the last chapter of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]]. They are the first ''Super Mario Land'' enemies to attack Mario after he comes across them, constantly tossing spears at him. Mario then finds a [[Super Star|Star]] and defeats all of them.

Bunbun,[1][2][3] also known as Boom Booms,[4] are bee-like enemies appearing only in World 1-2 in Super Mario Land. They soar overhead, dropping their spears on Mario. A Bunbun can be defeated from either being stomped or a Superball being thrown at them, clipping their wings, sending them crashing to the ground, and awarding the player 800 points either way. Some Bunbun cannot be defeated because they fly at very high altitudes out of reach.

In the Super Mario Land manga, Mario faces against two Bunbun in the second stage of Birabuto. Their tossed spears nearly manage to make Mario fall down the platforms, but are easily defeated with one Superball. Mecha Kuribō (Princess Peach in disguise) reacts to their falling bodies in disgust.

In Super Mario-kun, Bunbun appear in the last chapter of volume 3. They are the first Super Mario Land enemies to attack Mario after he comes across them, constantly tossing spears at him. Mario then finds a Star and defeats all of them.
