Template:Quote2 Suu-chan is, at first glance, a normal good-looking petite cave girl with short black hair, big eyes and a small pair of upper fangs, she only wears a two-piece animal print revealing costume and a flower on her head. In reality, she is a transformed Suu, but when she reverts to her original spider-like form, she still retains the human head and her limbs are more human-like. She only appears in chapter 3 of Super Mario Land, but does also appear in the "find the differences" page and later in the 4koma page to give the solution of the former game.
After watching how miserably the moais of Easton Kingdom have failed to stop Mario and Mekakuribo, Tatanga orders the Kumos and Suu to take their place, much to boss Hiyoihoi's frustration. After easily escaping (once more) from the Batadon and Tokotoko, Mario and Mekakuribo encounter Suu-chan, offering to guide them through a "secure" cave. Mekakuribo (aka Princess Peach in disguise) does not trust her, but Mario quickly falls for her beauty and follows her. Mekakuribo gives her the benefit of the doubt, but yells at her when she gets lunged by a swarm of Suu. Mario protects her and quickly gets rid of the spiders (disappointing Suu-chan).
The girl then points to a Hidden Block with a Lift Block inside that Mario takes, entering a bonus area. Now alone, Suu-chan drops "by accident" a bromide of pop-idol Kazumi Morohoshi. Mekakuribo takes the bait and jumps at it, failing to noticing a Suu on the ceiling dropping a falling spike on it. Hit and knocked out, Mekakuribo falls into the below river, while Suu-chan glees in satisfaction. Mario returns and when he asks where his robotic friend went, Suu-chan points to a cliff and when Mario gets near it, she shoves him down, strainght into a web made by the Kumos. She then pulls out a fial of "self-made" Suu poison and pours it down. Right before Mario is hit by the poison, the moais barges in the cave and falls into the web, freeing Mario and getting hit by the poison instead, melting instantly.
Furious, Suu-chan orders the Kumos to kill the plumber, when Hiyoihoi appears with a Bullet Biff Gatling gun and, sick and tired that the spiders are stealing his minions' job and also killed them, shoots at everyone, killing the Kumos. One Bullet Biff flies towards Suu-chan, but Mario saves her by tackling her away. Hiyoihoi takes off on his flying base, but Mario follows him. Suu-chan, moved by how he saved her even if she was openly and actively trying to kill him less then a minute ago, decides to follow him and help him. After passing a maze, the two reach Hiyoihoi. Dodging his boulders, Suu-chan reverts to her spider form and asks Mario to pass her some Superballs: by shooting more at once, they will defeat the boss in an instant. The plan works and Hiyoihoi disappears, and with him the flying base and all the enemies on it. Suu-chan begins to disappears, thanking Mario and telling him goodbye. Only her flower remains and Mario cries the loss of his friend. Mekakuribo, having regained consciousness, arrives on the scene and mistakes Mario's sad tears for tears of joy for being able to reunite with his companion, causing Mario of becoming more sad.
Suu-chan does not reappear in the manga series, but her design is reused for the Amazon warriors in the Super Mario Kart saga.
