- —Choropū Men'iwa, Super Mario-kun
When Mario is in the graveyard, he meets the Choropū Men'iwa alongside other possesed rock enemies. They fly towards Mario before then attacking him, due to Mario killing them in the past. Mario opens Yoshi's mouth to make him eat the Choropū Men'iwa and other Urami no Iwa, then punches Yoshi's mouth to break them. The spirits of the enemies including the Monty Moles then proceed to float out of Yoshi's mouth.
Trivia
- Like the other Urami no Iwa, Choropū Men'iwa seem to be based on Ikiryō from Japanese folklore.
