An Umbrelloid, folded up and unfolded.
An Umbrelloid is an enemy from Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins. These one-eyed umbrellas are found near the end of the second level in the Pumpkin Zone. They spend most of their time laying on the ground, but when Mario gets too close to them, they will unfold and chase him by gliding through the air. An Umbrelloid can be defeated by a jump or a fireball. They are based on the Karakasa or Kasa-Obake, a youkai spirit from Japanese mythology.[1]
Trivia
- Umbrelloids look exactly like the mini-boss enemies Jumpershoot, from the game Kirby's Dream Land 3. This may or may not be intentional.
