Honen,[1] also known as Honhen[2] or Bone Fish,[2] are enemies in Sarasaland that appear in Super Mario Land. According to the game's instruction manual, they are the skeletons of Torion eaten by Tatanga.

History

Super Mario Land

Honen jump vertically out of the waters of the Muda Kingdom at regular intervals. They can easily be defeated by being jumped on or by simply standing above them, or by hitting them with a Superball. Defeating one is worth 100 points. They appear in World 2-1 and World 2-3. They are one of two undead enemies to appear in the game, the other being Pionpi.

Super Mario Land (manga)

In the Super Mario Land manga, Tatanga creates three Honen after eating some Torion that dared to make jokes about his relationship with Daisy, which he then sends to Muda Kingdom. While avoiding two of the Honen, Mario is bitten by the third one on the bottom. The pain makes him jump out of his pants, leaving him naked and exposed, flustering Mekakuribō (who is Princess Peach in disguise). Mario then retrieves his overalls and stomps on the enemy.
