A '''Spooky Mask''' is an enemy in <i>[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]</i>'s [[Pumpkin Zone]]. It is a walking hockey mask with a dagger stuck in it, which may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Jason Voorhees|Jason Voorhees]], the main antagonist of the ''[[wikipedia:Friday the 13th (franchise)|Friday the 13th]]'' film series. This enemy's attack manner is similar to a [[Goomba]]'s, although stomping Spooky Masks propel [[Mario]] upward, whereas Goombas give Mario no extra propulsion upon being [[jump]]ed on.
