A '''Splunkin''' is a jack-o-lantern enemy in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They walk left and right in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]] courses and some of the earlier [[Ghost House]]s.

The Splunkin is a relatively small and harmless enemy, though they are sometimes found in larger groups. Their name is pun to "Spelunking".

[[Jack O' Goomba]]s highly resemble Splunkins. Splunkins behave just like [[Rex]]es, [[Wiggler]]s, and [[Morty Mole]]s as they move faster after being hit the first time.

Splunkins[1] are jack-o'-lantern enemies in New Super Mario Bros. Splunkins are encountered in World 3-Ghost House, World 5-Ghost House, World 7-Ghost House, and World 8-1. They walk along the ground like Goombas. When Splunkins are stomped, the cracks on their bodies deepen and they walk faster. Stomping one a second time defeats the Splunkin. Ground-pounding Splunkins or striking them with fireballs defeats them in one hit. Their English name is a portmanteau of "spelunking" (meaning exploring a cave) and "punkin" (a regional slurring of the word "pumpkin").
