Torions[1][2] are fast-moving, carnivorous fish enemies in Super Mario Land appearing only in World 2-3. Torions are weak to the Marine Pop's torpedoes, and are defeated instantly when hit by one, earning the player 100 points for each one defeated. Torions always swim in groups of three. Torions have undead relatives, Honen, which are Torions that were eaten by Tatanga, as stated in the instruction manual.[page number needed]

Fear the man-eating fish! Three of them come toward you in formation. Since they advance in a straight line, it is easy to defeat them with torpedoes. However, if you fail, they will make a U-turn at high speed, so be careful. | ||
