History
Super Mario 3D Land
In Super Mario 3D Land, Punpun resides in her pink airship in World 7. In battle, Punpun will throw boomerangs at Mario, similar to a Boomerang Bro. When Punpun takes damage, she will hover in her shell and try to land on Mario, unlike Boom Boom.[2] This can be avoided by stepping to the side.
