'''Kurokyura'''<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/land2/?lang=en English ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' entry on the official Mario Portal]. ''nintendo.co.jp''. Retrieved August 13, 2022. ([https://archive.ph/xw7hA Archived] August 13, 2022, 13:51:45 UTC via archive.today.)</ref> is a vampire enemy in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''.

Kurokyura appears near the [[Goal (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Goal]] of the [[Bat Course|first stage]] of the [[Pumpkin Zone]]. To attack, it sends small bats known as [[Minikyura]] towards [[Mario]]. Mario gets hurt if he touches Kurokyura from the sides, but can defeat it by jumping on its head or shooting a [[fireball]] at it as [[Fire Mario]]. According to the ''[[Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten]]'', Kurokyura is the master of the building of this stage long before the events of ''Super Mario Land 2''.<ref name=Daijiten/>

Kurokyura also appears in the [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha ''Super Mario'' manga]] in the ''Super Mario Land 2'' arc, where it takes the role of [[Wario]]'s right-hand man. Instead of summoning Minikyura bats, Kurokyura takes the form of one, which is first seen when he flies in through a window of [[Mario's castle]] to report to Wario after Mario and friends retrieve the [[Golden Coin]] of the Pumpkin Zone. Shortly after Mario and [[Luigi]] enter Mario's castle and defeat hoards of enemies, Kurokyura appears as a Minikyura and steals their sack of [[Carrot]]s. The brothers give chase, and eventually find it in Wario's throne room, where it returns to its vampire form and aids Wario in handling Luigi. After Mario is quick to defeat Wario, Kurokyura tosses him a Carrot so he will [[Bunny Mario|power up]]. It is eventually defeated when Luigi prepares garlic soup and forcefully feeds it to it.  

Later on, however, it reappears, aiding Wario in framing Mario by disguising as Luigi and robbing a bank. Their plan goes wrong, and they get arrested alongside the true counterparts, however, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] claims that Wario's group (still disguised as the heroes) are the innocent party. After Mario and co escape, they are able to save Peach and defeat Wario's gang again.
