They walk along the ground like [[Goomba]]s. When [[stomp]]ed, the cracks on their bodies deepen and they walk faster. [[Stomp]]ing one a second time defeats the Splunkin. [[Ground Pound|Ground-pound]]ing Splunkins or striking them with [[fireball]]s defeats them in one hit.


Splunkins are one of the few enemies introduced in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' not to make subsequent appearances in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Their English name is potentially a portmanteau of "spelunking" and "pumpkin."
If Mario bops a Splunkin once, it will becomee swollen. Another bop will make it explode.
