This article is about the hippo statue from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. For the stage featuring the same hippo, see Hippo (level).

The Hippo[1] is an ally in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. It is a big, statue-like animal encountered in its own level. The Hippo releases soap bubbles from one of its nostrils when approached by Mario, who can enter the Bubble and "swim" in the air.

The Hippo appears in Super Mario-kun volumes 9 and 10. It helps Mario, Carrot and Yokkī reach the Space Zone, but the Unibo pop their bubbles. The Hippo comes to life and arrives to help them by defeating the Unibo and creating one last bubble that takes them to space. The Hippo reaches them with a rocket (much to the three heroes' frustration) and guides them through the Space Zone. Later, it accompanies them to Wario's Castle, explains the function of the Golden Coins and turns back into a statue. After defeating Wario with an electric bomb, the castle is destroyed, so Mario builds a new one out of the Hippo itself, much to his and the freed Mario Land inhabitants' joy.
