Kumos[1][2] are hopping spider enemies found in World 3-2 and World 3-3 in Super Mario Land In appearance, Kumos look much like generic tarantulas that are about the size of Mario. One Kumo poses as Princess Daisy, which Mario discovers after defeating Hiyoihoi. Kumos attack in the same pattern as a Fly, hopping towards Mario. Like a Fly, some of them drop downward from midair when spawned. A Kumo can be defeated from being stomped or two Superballs, rewarding 400 points.
Their name comes from「蜘蛛」(kumo, "spider" in Japanese); however, the species is not, in fact, known as "Kumo" in Japan. It is actually the only species for which the English name was not the same as or similar to the Japanese name in the original version of Super Mario Land, although some other species were renamed in the English Virtual Console version.
Kumos appear in the Super Mario Land manga. After the Tokotoko and Batadons fail in stopping Mario, Tatanga gives more trust to the spider clan in doing a better job, much to Hiyoihoi's anger. The Kumos prepare a trap for Mario by creating a web, which Suu-chan pushes him into. Before she pours lethal Suu venom on him, the Tokotoko and Batadons barge in and fall into the web, freeing Mario and causing them to get hit by the venom instead, which kills them. Mario falls down and is surrounded by the Kumos, which Suu-chan orders to attack him, but Hiyoihoi appears, angered by the replacement and death of his soldiers, and shoots at everyone with a barrage of Bullet Biffs, killing the Kumos and inadvertently saving Mario.
A picture of a Kumo appears in Pipe Down! but not the species itself.
