Pagosu
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Pagosu[1] is a war robot of Tatanga's. It appears during the battle against Mario in Super Mario Land. It can fire large missiles that split into smaller missiles which Mario must dodge. Twenty-five hits from Mario's Sky Pop will bring it and Tatanga down.
According to the Kodansha manga, Tatanga's spaceship in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is a present from Wario to replace Pagosu.[2] The game's official website claims that this spaceship is more powerful,[3] although its attack capabilities significantly differ in-game. Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. also states that Pagosu was replaced.[4]
