Goboten are seal-like creatures that are enemies to Wario in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. They look like seals carrying a harpoon. Judging from their outfit, which includes a pirate-like striped bandanna, it can be assumed that they are affiliated with the Brown Sugar Pirates, a band of thieves that shares a rivalry with Wario. They mainly occupy the watery areas of Kitchen Island, where they patrol underwater passages. If they spot Wario, they shoot a harpoon at him, which can either regress him to a former state or kill him and throw him out of the level.

水中銃には気をつけろ

水中銃を片手に、ゆったり泳ぎまわるイルカの海賊。水中でワリオを見かけると、素早く水中銃を撃ってくる。水中銃のモリを避けて、踏んでしまえばどうってことない敵だ。[1]

Watch out for underwater guns.

A dolphin pirate swims around leisurely with an underwater gun in his hand. When they see Wario in the water, they quickly fire their underwater gun at him. If you avoid the harpoon of the underwater gun and step on it, it is a harmless enemy.
