Noknoks[1] are teal enemies with yellow feet and sharp teeth that disguise as Warp Doors. They are introduced in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and appear only in Light-Switch Mansion, KO Arena Fungi Funk and The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage. When the player approaches a disguised Noknok, it reveals itself by screaming and rushing toward the player. It can jump one block and may try to jump to a player on a different platform even if it cannot reach them, only stopping when the player is far away. The enemy can be stunned by being attacked with various power-ups or being stomped. While stunned, players can enter it. If players then enter it, it works as a Warp Door (and remains as a Warp Door) or it is defeated and releases a coin. However, if the player stuns it without interacting with the door, after a while, the enemy will start chasing the player again. Their English name comes from the knock-knock joke, in which the recipient reponds, “Who’s there?”[1]
Some Noknoks can be seen singing and dancing in place during the Wonder Effect in Light-Switch Mansion and The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage.
