Genkotsu are enemies in Super Mario Land that appear in the Chai Kingdom. They dwell in Warp Pipes like Piranha Plants.

A Pipe Fist in Super Mario Land

Only two Genkotsu normally appear in the twelfth and final level of Super Mario Land, World 4-3. They behave in a similar way to Piranha Plants, only they move quicker and are immune to the Sky Pop's missiles. They behave as a group - when one fist goes back into a pipe the other will come out shortly after, making it difficult for Mario to get past them.

In the Expert Level, a third Genkotsu appears in the first pipe to the left in front of the 18 coins.
