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. If [[Mario]] bops a Splunkin once, it will crack a bit and will increase its speed. Another bop will make it explode, killing it and earning points. The Splunkin is a relatively small and harmless enemy, though they are sometimes found in larger groups.

Since [[Crowber]], a raven enemy, is usually flying around, Mario may try to dodge the bird and end up getting hit by a Splunkin. [[Jack O' Goomba]]s highly resemble Splunkins. Splunkins behave just like [[Rex]]es (and in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', [[Morty Mole]]s) as they move faster after being hit the first time, just like wiggler. they're name also resembles the word: "spelunking". this is probably a coincidence.

Since Crowber, a raven enemy, is usually flying around, Mario may try to dodge the bird and end up getting hit by a Splunkin. Jack O' Goombas highly resemble Splunkins. Splunkins behave just like Rexes, Wigglers (and in Super Mario 3D Land, Morty Moles) as they move faster after being hit the first time.
