Kab-omb, Squiggler, and Snow Spike only made token appearances afterward, while Balloon Boo, bomb Skeeter, Snailicorn, Blockhopper, Spike Bass, and almost all of the bosses never appeared again. The only NSMB-originating enemies I can think of that really did become heavily recurring are Deep Cheep, Broozer, Crowber, and Dry Bowser.

Splunkins are one of the few enemies introduced in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' not to make subsequent appearances in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Their English name is potentially a portmanteau of "spelunking" and "pumpkin."

Splunkins[1] are jack-o'-lantern enemies in New Super Mario Bros. Splunkins are encountered in Template:World-link, Template:World-link, Template:World-link, and World 8-1. They walk along the ground like Goombas. When Splunkins are stomped, the cracks on their bodies deepen and they walk faster. Stomping one a second time defeats the Splunkin. Ground-pounding Splunkins or striking them with fireballs defeats them in one hit. Their English name is a portmanteau of "spelunking" (meaning exploring a cave) and "punkin" (a regional slurring of the word "pumpkin").
