A '''Pick''' (Japanese: ピック, ''Pikku'') is an enemy that looks similar to a squid's tentacle. It is featured in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and is only found in the last level of the [[Pumpkin Zone]], where [[Sabasa]] is fought. The Pick just splashes around. It can be defeated with a single [[jump]]. There are only two Picks found in that level.
