'''Pūko''' (プー{{hover|子|こ}}) is a [[Monty Mole]] and /[[Rocky Wrench]] who is also a member of [[AKG48 (a parody of the Japanese girl group {{wp|AKB48}})]] that appears in volume 46 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. HerPūko's name comes from「プー」(''Pū''), the Rocky Wrench's Japanese name, and「子」(''-ko''), a common female given name suffix. Her name is very similar to [[Choropūko]]'s.

She shows them carnival-like games such as "Choropū ga Tataku Game" (チョロプーがたたくゲーム), a game where Monty Moles whack the participant, and a target practice game that uses a bazooka. She then shows Mario and his friends the food, which consists of mostly aquatic enemies. After putting a [[Spike Eel]] in a pot, a [[Morty Mole]] arrives and starts destroying the festival due to it being in his home. Mario and the Morty Mole start fighting, with Pūko cheering the former on. After Mario loses, Pūko gives him a Monty Mole heirloom, a super-metal, invincible powered suit handed down for himgenerations in the Monty Mole family for Mario to use. However, whichMario he discards the suit almost immediately, due to it being too uncomfortable. As Mario continues to gettingget attacked by the Morty Mole, Luigi wins two [[Statue Leaf|Statue Leaves]] from a raffle held by a Monty Mole with glasses, which Pūko then tells the Mario Bros. tothat usethe Statue Leaves can be used to defeat the Morty Mole.
