Mario affected by the germs.

Futoru kin are germs created by Bowser in Super Mario-kun Volume 9 that are able to make the infected become obese. They look like bacteria with an angry expression and a pig snout.

After trapping Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi in a Mario Bros. arena, Bowser intends to release the battle kin to make them fight each other, but accidentally releases the gutoru kin (due to the similar sounding name) that momentarily fattens Mario up. Later, when the heroes break out from the arena, some of the still present gutoru kin ends up on Bowser, fattening him up and making him flee in embarrassment.
