'''The Three Little Pigheads''' are three little pigs that are the boss(es) of the [[Mario Zone]] of ''[[Super Mario Land 2]]''. There are three of them, and each has a different "house" and a special attack. The first has a straw house, and attacks by rolling back and forth along the screen. The second little porkchop in the wooden house tries to pounce on [[Mario]] by jumping around the screen. The last, brick-housed pigheaded swine attacks by jumping, too, but leaps a bit higher every time. Below are pictures of each pig in his abode.

==Names in other languages==
The obstinate little oinkers have also landed a starring role in the ''[[Mario vs. Wario]]'' comic (which is notable for being the only form of media to ever give them English names and therefore the origin of the name "the Three Little Pigheads"), where [[Wario]] ordered them to attack [[Mario]] with other ''Super Mario Land 2'' creepies. Here, Mario (who was oblivious to the fact that Wario's monsters were even trying to harm him in any way) somehow mistook them for a bowling game and ended up defeating them by knocking one of them (which he was using as a ball) into the other "pins".

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, Buro,[5] has a straw house and attacks by rolling back and forth along the screen. The second, Bucho,[5] has a wooden house and tries to pounce on Mario by jumping around the screen. The third, Bupon,[5] has a brick house and attacks by jumping, too, but leaps a bit higher every time. All three pigs were waiting their entire lives for a huffing and puffing wolf, and believe that Mario is after their home.[6] 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.

The Three Little Pigheads are antagonists in the Mario vs. Wario comic. Wario orders them to attack Mario with other enemies from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Mario is oblivious to the monsters wanting to defeat him and mistakes them for a bowling game. The Three Little Pigheads are defeated from Mario knocking one of the enemies (which he uses as a ball) into the other "pins".
