'''Don Gabamen''' are large ball-like floating faces with a mustache. They bear a resemblance to [[Wario]]. They are found in [[Mario's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. They bounce around a small room at diagonal angles and try to hit [[Mario]]. They can be killed by jumping on them twice (once on the Easy difficulty). Mario can also destroy them by a single spin jump, regardless of the difficulty level. They appear in a total of three rooms consecutively, with the first room containing one and the latter containing two each. They are the last defense barrier before Mario can finally face Wario.
