Karamenbō are Thwomp-like obstacles appearing in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They are huge spiked cylinders made up of four independently spinning segments that crash down from above when Mario draws near, before slowly rising to the ceiling. They only appear in Mario's castle, and cannot be destroyed, only avoided. Būichi from earlier in the game have the same behavior.
