Mario about to fight the Three Little Pigs.
The arena where Mario fights the Three Little Pigs.

The Three Little Pigheads[1], also known as the Three Little Pigs[2] or simply the Pigs[3], are a trio of pig siblings[4] who are the bosses of the Mario Zone in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Each pig has a different "house" they reside in and have their own attack patterns; the first has a straw house and attacks by rolling back and forth along the screen. The second in the wooden house tries to pounce on Mario by jumping around the screen. The last one from a brick house attacks by jumping, too, but leaps a bit higher every time. Each can be defeated by jumping on them three times or hitting them with six fireballs, and once one is defeated, the next one starts attacking. Each of the pigs' abodes are based on the classic fairy tale, The Three Little Pigs.

According to a Nintendo Power guide, the pigs were waiting their entire lives for a huffing and puffing wolf, and believe that Mario is after their home.[5]

Three Little Pigheads
The Three Little Pigheads, from Mario vs. Wario

They have also landed a starring role in the Mario vs. Wario comic, where Wario ordered them to attack Mario with other enemies from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Here, Mario (who was oblivious that Wario's monsters were trying to harm him) mistook them for a bowling game and defeated them by knocking one of them (which he was using as a ball) into the other "pins".
