Unibo[1] are enemies in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They are nearly indestructible spiky round enemies that inhabit flying and swimming areas. Unibo are encountered in the Hippo stage and the second level of the Turtle Zone. They can be defeated from either a Star or a Koopa Troopa shell. Unibo are stationary until Mario comes near, at which point they shake on the spot to make themselves harder to avoid. They reappear in Mario & Wario, redesigned to look more like spiked balls and with no visible eyes. Unibo apear in two varieties: Those with blue bodies move vertically, and those with yellow bodies move horizontally. They no longer sleep and are constantly moving around.

The original appearance of Unibo is very similar to both Gordo from the Kirby series and Sea Urchins from the The Legend of Zelda series.
